ONE faithful day, as Shirley was busy outside the main church with her colleagues sharing posters of their next harvest,she came across a concert bill board, ministering Dr Fred Paschal, displaying his photograph on the poster.
When she finally got back to her room,she remembered the poster and decided to go for the concert. After all, the poster was inviting everyone and Paschal was performing. Why can't she pay him a surprise after 2 years of no see?
She went for shopping and bought a catchy gown (and worse of all,she paid in credit). On getting back to the cathedral, she went to the place where she saw the poster and read the venue,time and date.
At the stadium by 1:00pm on the 6th of April, Joey could be seen at the ladies checking her make up and dress after which she looked for a chair to sit and discussed with people about celebrities she didn't know anything about until finally,it was time.
"let's welcome Dr Fred Paschal a well known doctor but a gifted singer. Please,give a round of applause!" the MC spoke.
After about three minutes of constant applauding, a melodious tenor voice came out from the speakers.
Shirley looked up and it was Paschal. She studied his masculinity and handsomeness with his designer suit and pink rose. She felt a connection instantly. What she couldn't understand was why her soul felt soothed seeing him performing on stage. There was this undenying emotion she couldn't explain.
He sang for about half an hour, before he caught sight of Shirley.
She immediately brought her head down and blushed. Squeezing her hands together,she fought the urge to flee the audience. Looking back up,she saw him singing with delight.
He sang so many of his albums as his fans hailed him, screaming "Dj p". Shirley didn't know when she started twirling her fingers around the desk.
She felt too excited and nervous and rushed to the ladies. By then, Paschal had already finished performing. She added a light make up to her face which she didn't know why. She became pressed and went ahead to ease herself. She took a quick glance at the mirror again and figured out she was sweating. She quickly cleaned the sweat off her face and admired her reflection in the mirror.
She felt confident of herself and came out of the ladies only to burst into Paschal!
"Oh...hi" she flinched.
"You came! Nice to meet you" he was delighted.
"Uhm... Yes"she replied not knowing exactly what to reply.
"Can we talk?" He asked politely.
"I think so"
"of course, who'd you say no?" He said as they walked together to the table, laughing. "So what was that your name again? Uhm...miss Rachel...I think" he said.
"Is it?of course yes it is"she said. There was a brief silence and then she continued. "So you're a singer?" She asked.
"Yes. I just can't stop. The industry. And besides I have passion for singing" he said.
"And a good one at that" she said and a very odd silence evoked the place again. "So your full name is Dr Fred Paschal?" She continued nervously.
"Yes but,my friends call me Paschal" he said.
"No probs DJ p" she said and they both laughed.
"So what's your full name?"he asked.
"Brian Rachel" Shirley quickly replied.
"good" he said impressed.
"so...you have the passion for singing and a doctor?" She asked.
" Well...since childhood I've always had this passion of becoming a musician. I looked at them on TV shows and tried to sing like them. Even my friends and my brothers called me DJ p,but when I grew up I found out that they,the musicians were living a fake life and I decided to pursue another dream and I realized I liked science,so I decided to become a medical doctor. But later I found out that I couldn't just put down my passion of becoming a musician so, I tried little songs and found out it was working out for me"
"Yeah?"
"Yeah! I decided to produce my own personal music! You see?! And all of a sudden, this man from nowhere decided to brush me up and helped me build my industry and till today,yeah I'm that DJ p" Paschal concluded.
