Is Joshua humility for me? Apologizing for what he did nothing wrong, but Amanda isn't that strong heart I think, I just cooled down..
"Agreed? I won't make the mistake again, he continued when I didn't say anything and I nodded.
"Thank you, let's go eat lunch somewhere, Joshua said taking my hand.
"Uhm no I want to go home, I quickly turned him down.
"No problem then, see you tomorrow, he said and I waved at him forcing a smile and went my way..
I got home and had a cool bath and sat down reminiscing all that happened in school, then I remembered Susan words to me and sighed shaking my head.
I saw Susan words as an insult to me and I wonder when Susan became concerned about my relationship status.
Susan that always frowns whenever guys come around me in school, is the same person suggesting Joshua for me just because she has a ring on her finger. I hissed loudly at that and took my phone and saw I didn't save John number. I decided to save it so I won't ask whose calling just in case he calls again..... Of course I wanted him to call again!
I went on social media and surprisingly a message popped in from John and i balanced well on the bed when I saw he's even online.
"Hey Amanda thanks for accepting to teach the children. I just found out from the pastor and he told me its your family church, I'm glad you're one of us now, I read and smiled and laid down thinking of what to reply.
But why is he so excited I'm now Part of the fold? I thought and replied;
"You don't need to thank me, we're all doing the work of God".
"Sure we are, Good afternoon, he replied.
"Good afternoon brother John, and that was how the chat started........
2 days later I woke up feeling feverish with body pains. I managed and got my phone and called up Joshua,
"Hey what's up? He jovially picked up but my voice said it all.
"What's wrong? Are you okay? Joshua asked and i told him I'm not feeling too well.
"Its alright don't stress yourself, I'll cover up for you okay. Take Care of yourself I'll see you after school, Joshua said.
"Thank you, i said and dropped the call covering myself up with a blanket.
Few minutes later i heard my phone ringing but i couldn't pick up, it was that serious that i couldn't have the strength to whisper prayers for myself.
But whosoever was calling insisted and i managed to stretch my hand and picked up without looking who it was.
"Hello Amanda, John voice came on phone and i sniffed. My eyes were teary as I tried to speak,
"Are you sound? John asked and before I could reply, guy was already praying for me.
For 5 minutes my phone was just on my ears enjoying the prayers from Brother John and I put in an Amen when he finish with it.
That was the most romantic moment I've ever had and i was just smiling,
"Okay Amanda I traveled and I'm not in town, but when i come back I'll surely visit you okay. But be rest assured you're healed, he continued.
"Amen, thank you so much, i said.
"Thank God, I'll call you back, John said and dropped the call. I shifted the phone aside and a knock came on the door almost immediately.
I almost cried for whoever was knocking because i didn't have the strength to open up but Susan called my name outside.
"I'm coming, i weakly replied and opened up for her.
"So you could not inform me you're sick if not Joshua did why? She asked.
"Why should i inform a married woman I'm sick when you should be cuddling your husband in bed, i replied.
"Oh is that what you've been thinking that i parked to his house? Oh sorry baby girl i intentionally told you that and you're capitalizing on it with your judgmental spirit. The principal isn't that type of man, and so you know I'm at his elder sister place because he wanted me to be comfortable, are you happy now? Susan asked but i just cuddled myself on bed saying nothing and she hissed and felt my neck with the back of her palm.
"Let me go get you drugs to calm the fever, she said.
"No I'll be fine, brother John prayed for me and i believe strongly in the prayers, i told her and she looked at me.
"Brother John? She asked and i nodded.
"You wont know him but the prayer was powerful and I know I'll be fine. I just have to rest that's all, i replied and laid down and she scoffed.
"At least let me get you pain relieve, your eyes are watery, she said.
"I wont take it, but if you want to help then prepare food for me I'm hungry, i said and Susan folded her arms looking at me.
"This is serious, but how come i don't know about this brother John? Susan asked sitting down but i didn't reply and she heaved.
"He sounds like a God fearing guy,Susan said hitting me and i smiled.
"Of course he is, can your Joshua guy pray for me? I asked and Susan nodded.
"So God fearing is by prayers ? Its alright let me prepare something for you to eat so you can have the strength to pray in the mountain with this brother John, Susan said and i playfully threw her the pillow i held......
