Nonye – Episode 6

 After settling things with my parents, I updated Faith on my progress.

I also informed my brother, who was annoyed for not knowing earlier.

 “Congratulations dear but remember to be careful as you get there….he adviced

“Alright bro….I will”…… I said, taking his advice to heart.

I arrived at school and was assigned to a hostel already occupied by two students from different departments, Blessing and Rachael, who were studying accounting. Their warm welcome surprised me, making me feel instantly at home. They shared valuable insights about the school, lecturers, and student life.

Our friendship blossomed quickly, and I was grateful for their companionship. As a busy student, my course demanded constant reading and studying. I was focused and determined and at the same propagating the kingdom of heaven at every opportunity.

Despite occasional temptations to stray, my parents’ frequent calls, prayers, and reminders kept me grounded. They would often instruct me to fast and pray, citing concerns from dreams they had about me since I left home. I’d reassure them all was well, calming their worries.

People noticed my brilliance and modesty, and I became known for my positive influence. Encouraged, I joined a campus fellowship, just like my brother had done and throughout my first year to third year, I inspired lives through my actions.

However, my success blinded me. I thought I was on fire for God, but I was actually driven by self. My doom was looming and I was unaware.

I thought I had it all figured out, thinking God’s Favour was a blanket of limitless possibility never knew that even in divine love, boundaries exist to refine and protect. 

I had totally forgotten to relate my own life to what I preached to others, believing it was meant for others and not for someone as flawless as I thought was. I had considered myself perfect and here I am stuck bin my own despair uncertain of the path forward.

My life took a dark turn when I started receiving unwanted attention from guys on campus. Both responsible and irresponsible individuals approached me for a relationship, which I politely declined. unknown to me that two of these suitors were members of rival cμlt groups.

After a lecture one day, one of them approached me, saying he’d give me time to think about his proposal. He hinted that accepting him would bring me significant benefits and as I tried to brush him off, the other cult member spotted us together witnessing our exchange and that’s when my problems escalated.

A week after the incident, I was alone in the hostel that night, my roommates had told me they would be attending a party of which I tried to dissuade them so as not to be alone, but I wasn’t able to convince them as they assured me nothing is going to happen.

As a serious student, I spent the night reading and around 2am I decided to call it a night packing my books together, I visited the restroom  before going to bed. I was done and trying to clean myself up when I started hearing footsteps, I had thought it was a mere hallucination but I was wrong as I was welcomed with the sight of an unknown person as I opened the door. I froze, unable to look up.
