Story - PASTOR'S SECOND WIFE (Part 14)

When I arrived at the meeting, my legs were heavy like rock.
I couldn't move them again when I saw the people seated and waiting for me. Our
G.O, the church executive council members, mummy G.O, Deji, women leader and
mummy pastor were all present in the meeting.
As soon as I
entered, I was directed to sit on the only vacant seat. I took my seat with my
head bent down. The secretary to the church executive council was the first to
speak. After he acknowledged the presence of the G.O and other council members
in attendance, he turned to me. "Sis Mercy, you left church some months
ago, leaving your responsibility as the choir leader without a word. Now you
are back with a baby, can you tell this gathering what happened?", he
requested.
I stood up and
brought Shina down from my back, showed his face to all the council members and
went back to my seat without saying anything. Shina is a duplicate of Deji,
even a blind man could almost notice the
resemblance. I guessed they understood my message as all of them said "hmmmmm"
in chorus. After my drama, there was a short silence. The type that happens
when they say "let's observe one minute silence for the dead". The
silence was cut short when the G.O requested Deji to say what he knew about
Shina and my sudden disappearance in church. He stood up and could not say
anything. The vibrant and outspoken pastor became like a moron and like a sheep
taken to the slaughter. Deji has never been this quiet since I knew him. The
saying, " You become the slave of your slave if he finds the stolen
chicken in your hand" became true.
After about ten
minutes, Deji still didn't utter a word, the secretary to the church executive
council stood up and said, "Silence at the face of accusation is a sign of
guilt". Pastor Olumodeji, you're the father of sis Mercy's baby. If you
are not, deny now or face the disciplinary committee of the church. Yet Deji
didn't say anything. The meeting was adjourned for three weeks when the head of
disciplinary committee would have been briefed.
The church
secretary gave mummy G.O a letter for me. This time the church wants to conduct
an independent DNA test to ascertain the paternity of my son. The letter
contains the date, the time and the medical centre where the DNA will be
conducted. I have no issue with the DNA test since it is going to be at the
expense of the church.
It didn't seem as
if Deji was remorseful with all that happened. He came to my room anytime he
needed sex. He does it without talking to me. I didn't bother myself denying
him anymore because I am now his wife. Moreover if I didn't allow him, he would
rape me. And to be honest, I wasn't ready for all that even though I suffered
severe pain and bled anytime he slept with me.
