Judgement In The House Of God
Episode 15
 
Location: The Church Compound
 
Pastor Eric gently drove into the compound and parked between the church auditorium and a little distance from his office.
He got out and greeted the old volunteering Gardener doing his job. He made some enquires about what happened doing his absence. After receiving replies,he walked to his office, brought out bunch of keys and selected the right one, ins**ting into the padlock. He opened and walked in, located a seat and sat praying thanking God for another day.
His mind quickly ran to what the Archbishop had said and he brought out his bible. He drew the big black bible near and opened to the book of rom-ns. He saw a piece of white paper gently folded into between some chapters.
He took and opened it and read
“The pleasure of sin is for a moment.
The wages of sin is death”.
His heart froze upon seeing such statement.
What does the Archbishop mean by these words?
His conscience began active and pricked him deeply as tears swelled in his eyes.
Just then his phone rang.
He dipped his hands into his pocket and brought it out.
A strange number was what he saw.
He answered and a female voice came alive.
“Please is this pastor Eric,a woman name Mrs. Ajah was rushed to our hospital, please come quickly”
What!!!! Pastor Eric rose to his feet in shocked
“Please which hospital?”
“Lady of hope, general hospital”
He ended the call, grabbed his car keys and hurriedly dashed out of the office into his car,. not minding locking the door. He already knew the location of the hospital.
*******
Angela sat on the sofa opposite the senator in her apartment.
He had come to pay her a visit and know the reason why she has been avoiding him and his calls.
Just like the decision she took on Sunday,she has completely cut him off from her life and she knew that sooner or later,he will come to her house to seek answers and she has been long prepared for him.
“Mr. Senator,I appreciate everything you did for me but I am sorry I have to cut it off with you. Since I started doing this dirty work and engaged in this illegal affair,I have known no rest. I know you have done alot for me which I appreciate but I am done with you now.”
The shocked senator looked at her,not wanting to believe what she just spitted out of her oral cavity.
“What are you talking about Angela?” He asked calmly trying to surpress his anger.
“What I am talking about is,I am cutting it off with you. I am no more interested in anything that has to do with you. Stay out of my life. You can take your job back if u want. I am done with you.” She fired at him.
“You can’t be serious Angela, you cant. Do you know who you are messing with? Let me remind you that I own everything you have and will ever make. You think after eating my money, you will go Scott free. You must be joking!” Senator shouted.
“Mr. Senator,let me state this clear to you” Angela said standing up.”you don’t and will never own everything I have. For your information,I didn’t force you to get me whatever you think you did for me. Secondly, I am the reason why you are not yet stripped off your so called Senator title. I am the one working my ass out 24/7 to paint you white out to the public, putting lies together just to make sure that you are still a senator. I don’t need to remind you of all your dirty deeds and within one second,I can make you loose everything including the fans you have”
“Are you threatening me Angela?” Senator asked in shock.
“Call it whatever you want to. I just want you to stay out of my life senator. Aren’t you ashamed that you have a beautiful wife at home yet you are chasing behind me? Go get a conscience and stay away from me!”
“You are joking and just know that this is not over. You are playing with fire and you will get burn eventually. Angela, you will regret ever knowing me.” Senator threatened
“Whatever, so long senator!” Angela scoffed
“So long Angela,so long!”

Days Later
Location: Pastor Eric’s office
Pastor Eric was reading his bible when a young fair, handsome and average height guy walked into his office. He was in his late 25s.
The guy was dressed in a dark jeans and a blue polo.
Pastor Eric raised his face and was shocked to see the guy.
“What are you doing here Steve?” pastor Eric asked not allowing the guy to sit.
“Can’t you at least offer me a seat? Steve asked.
Pastor Eric looked at him not knowing what to say.
Steve quickly located a seat opposite the pastor and did the needful.
“What are you doing here Steve?” Pastor Eric asked again,then he added after few seconds.
“I warned you to never come to my office. That’s why you have my phone number!”
“That’s the problem, you are not picking your calls. You are not replying my messages. You are ignoring me. What is going on Eric?” Steve asked
“Your brain should have told you that I was busy. You should have waited rather than coming here” pastor Eric spoke
“Well,I couldn’t wait anymore. I decided to come see you in your office to know why you are ignoring me.” Steve said popping a chewing gum into his mouth.
“What if someone sees you in here Steve? What is your problem?” Pastor Eric asked with all seriousness.
“I don’t give a d–n Eric. I missed you so much and that’s what I am concern about” Steve spoke smiling sed-ctively
“God, whatever did I see in this guy?” Pastor Eric asked himself as he stared at Steve with complete hatred.
