Yesterday (pt1) 'Blind and happy'

Woke up feeling lazy , contemplating either to go 'Shoosh' or just continue my sleep 'jejely'
. And just like when you just on the data to your phone ,I started receiving different response, one voice whispered to my ears
'continue your pleasant sleep, there's kuku no one that'll hustle you to shoosh'

Mtcheeeewwww!!!! 'Lemme sleep jare shebi na Resting day today be already.... ' Then I heard ' ...rest today and Rest On"!!!
Vrammmmm ...bathroom straight...

Got to church and I met the Pastor at the entrance, greeted him and went to find a seat amidst a not smiling, sad looking and very serious faced Church members . The Sunday school was on.

".........Shebi I have come now, na to dey listen to a language I don't understand, the only thing that I can really understand from the whole scenario is 'Halleluyah', not even 'praise God' as that's always 'served' in the native language.

"Corper, you don't understand what they're saying bah?, don't worry I'll do something about it" the Pastor came to tell me. But I guess for the service today I have to bear it as usual.

Amidst the two people I was sitting, (of course they were also wearing a very serious face), one tapped me and start talking in the natives.....I couldn't understand him but I could tell from his gesticulation that he was complaining about me putting my bible on an empty chair in front.

No wahala, I packed my things off the empty chairs but all this while none of the members smiled not to me, not to anyone(except the Pastor). 'Me ma self who I wan smile to nah make we all bone face nah, shebi church is a serious business.'

Then I heard someone disorganising the chairs behind me...looking back I saw the very first smile that made my Sunday, and it...(to be continued)
