NRE-AYO

  Chapter 2

"Ayo!!!!" Mum called out but I was in no mood to answer her.
I lay on my bed, pretending to be asleep

"Ayo!!!!" Mum called out once more, I was slightly annoyed, why doesn't she give up, I heard mum climbing the stairs and drawing closer to my room,  I made sure not to make any sound, so that she wouldn't notice that I was awake, Mum opened the door to my room, I felt her gaze on my body then she lets out a sigh

"Ayo, wake up, you will be late for church" Mum sat on my bed and tapped my shoulders gently, I faked a yawn and sluggish stood up

"You are already dressed," I asked while taking a quick look at mum's dress, she was wearing a light pink skirt and suit with a black net hat, she looked smart.
Mum was the wife to the founder of the church I attend, mum got remarried to the founder of the church seven months after she and dad divorced.

"Yes, hurry up and get dress if you don't want your father to scold you" mum removed the duvet from my body and urged me to get up

"How many times have I told you not to call him my father, he is not my father" I frowned

"Just hurry up and get dressed, he won't be happy to see you like this" mum did not look pleased

"I won't be able to make it, as you can see I haven't even brushed my teeth, I will only delay you" I placed the duvet back on my body

"Is Ayo still not ready" a deep voice filled my room and it sent shivers down my spine, the air condition was switched on but sweats formed on my forehead

"She said she won't be able to make it" mum said to step father, while he shot me a scornful look

"You will come to church, get dressed" he turned to leave but stopped

"Why can't you be like your sister" he left the room after saying those words, I was glad he left, the lump that seemed to form in my throat the moment he entered the room disappeared.

"Don't take his words to heart sweetie, he is going through a lot right now" Mum tried to place her hand in my shoulder to console me, but I dodged her, I could see the pain in her eyes but i couldn't care less.

"Do I look like I care" I scoffed and got up from the bed to get dressed, even though I didn't want to go to church i had because step father told me too, I know better than anyone what would happen if I did not follow his orders.

"Just leave my room and don't talk to me,"  I stare at my mum as she tried to fight back tears that were about to fall from her eyes, she deserves the way I am treating her. I won't suffer alone even though my pain is greater.
She made me go through a lot at a young age when I did nothing to deserve it.

"Daddy please pray for me" an average looking lady rushed to my step father and knelt down on the floor weeping and telling him her predicament, Step father quickly helped her up and smiled warmly at her, what a hypocrite.

I went to teen church without waiting for my sister so we could go in together.
