He was handed over the big brown envelope. He was slow in getting the result out of the envelope as he began to read the result from the name of the medical centre, date of the test, personnel who conducted the test, the medical jargons in the
result, etc.
Why must he read all those contents? “, i said to myself. All we needed to hear is if Deji is Shina’s father or not. After taking about fifteen minutes reading the DNA test result in medical terminologies, no one seemed to understand everything he said. Everyone was simply lost and confused the more as noticed from their respective faces.
The gazing and agitation was on the increase as all expected him to interpret the result in a layman’s language.
“Pastor Olumodeji is not the biological father of the boy according to the test result”, the doctor said. Could you imagine? This must be some sort of a stupid prank, This must be a joke,” I thought. Who else is Shina’s father if not Deji? I haven’t slept with any man for five years.
I was lost in thought, deeply confused as hot tears rolled copiously down my frailty cheek..
As i was still thinking of what happened , our G. O yelled at me .
“Sis Mercy, can you tell us who is the father of your baby? why you left the church without a word and why you are taking refuge in pastor Olumodeji’s house?,” he angrily shouted at me with as they all stared at with disgust.
I was dumbfounded for a moment. There must be a mix up somewhere. The paternity of my son is certain. I know the father of my son, and he’s no other person than Deji.
At this juncture, Mummy pastor had lost her temper and screamed on top of her voice, holding her head as if it was going to fall off her neck…. Someone should explain to me what’s happening here, mummy pastor screamed again as she turned and looked at Deji before giving me a ferocious look.
So, my husband is not the father of your bastard son? I knew it, I know you’re a traitor who wants to reap where you didn’t sow. Whatsoever you’ve done to my husband, God will expose you and your evil plans. You wicked betrayer and husband
snatcher.

She rained abuses on me and almost pounced on me but was restrained by the pastor Favour and Sister Gloria who were seated next to her.
As all these were happening, that short black devil called Deji, didn’t utter a word but bend his numb head as he made efforts to avoid my eye contact by all means.
Mummy pastor took over the meeting while everyone watched her. I couldn’t comprehend what was going on. I wanted to talk but I didn’t know what to say when the DNA test result says Deji is not the father of my son.
With this development, mummy pastor will surely not receive me back to the house again. Where next am I going to? Where would i go with my baby?
After the meeting, Deji stayed back, laughing and greeting the senior pastors, Daddy G. O and other members present . They were all shaking his hands and obviously apologising to him for the brief embarrassing situation.
Shamelessly, he was nodding like agama lizard in affirmation. Waving his dirty hands to the heaven in appreciation to God for inadvertently saving him from me….. Could you just imagine? No one came to me, all avoided me like a plague.
At a time, i couldn’t contain my anger anymore as i summoned courage and went straight to Deji to confront him.
I excused him to one part of the long corridor …. “Who is the father of my son?”, I asked him rudely. “The DNA result has said it all”, he replied sarcastically as his eyes was fixed to his phone.
What DNA result are you talking about? I looked straight to his lying face as tears kept rolling down my cheek.
You better own up to the leadership of the church or else I will tell the whole world about your years of atrocities. I will tell them about Stella and everything you’ve been hiding.
Deji didn’t take me serious, he was so confident that he wasn’t the father of my son. Why then did he accept to pay my bride price?, again i thought. Why was he mute all this time?
What is actually going on? I threatened him, “If you don’t tell the church the truth in three days, I will expose you. You know I have enough evidence to nail you.
Deji worked out on me… He returned to the church members as they started some sort of deliverance prayers.
Guess who was leading the prayer session? Pastor Deji. . .. He was so quick to speak in tongues and was laying hands on people…. Such a shameful and deceitful cheat.
With all these threats, he was indifferent. Moreover, I have been given seven days by the church to reveal the identity of the father of my son or face disciplinary actions.
Now, i’m locked up in a deep blue sea and obviously don’t know how to swim past it…
What are my going to do now?
