Chapter 29

Lamais's pov

My first morning home was very busy, a woman who says demons was on her came in the afternoon and I, Shanty and the others had to clear her. Ten persons came for reading and afterwards two men came with terrible belly aches, I was from the outside kitchen to the reading room and when I close off at four that evening I give Shanty money to visit the market for groceries and other supplies. I spent the evening brewing roots and labeling bottles with the help of Tishawna and Kemar to restock the shop, remembering that I gave Shanty extra money, I tell them to call her and tell her to purchase KFC for us.

I was surprise when I heard Kemar's phone ring and he begin speaking to Cushane, he must be living secretly with Nicole at his new apartment I think vexedly. I've been told that she hadn't came back to church since she was told that we had gone to Canada for a church convention, and Sis. Smith says they were talks that she was saying I had gone to Cushane, she better not come back to my church because I have no time for carelessness.

When Shanty came we ate and had a great evening before she left, we talked about our trip to Canada and of the upcoming one months away. I felt honored and the money I had gotten can more than pay for our trip, my main focus now was to build a choir but we were small in number so that will be some time to come. However I still put choir practice and church cleaning for Saturday on our weekly schedule.

On Sunday announcements I tell my new members to invite a friend and to tell anyone they know that can sing that I was looking for choir participants, they would have to want to be a member of the church however and be able to live accordingly. There was also an invitation to our sister church's convention in two weeks time and because Nicole wasn't present one member thought it was ok to speak out and I had to reprimand her. She apologizes but then ask if I wasn't on any social media platform?

That evening she showed me the posts Nicole had made and I was so angry I went on three days fasting for her. I did not even give her anything to drink when she came for read-ing, if she has been experiencing problems with her pregnancy why didn't she visit a doctor? How dare her go on social media trying to slander my name?

Why would I even want to kill her child?

Why did this woman came to my church in the first place?

I was so grieve in my spirit that I had restless nights, she can take Cushane for all I care if he had truly loved and respected me he would not have been having sex with both of us. Without protection at that. I took out the suitcase of beautiful fabrics and things he had given me from out of the guest bedroom downstairs and threw it out unto the verandah in anger. Tomorrow I will ask Shanty to give the things away, or I will take them and give to someone who doesn't live here, maybe sell them all to my dressmaker. I did not want to see them.

On the third night after my fasting I cried all night, I did not want to see Cushane's face again. Shanty had carried the suitcase inside but where to I did not know, she said what he has given me was a gift and I shouldn't give them away. I had search for it all of that evening to burn everything but could not find it.

My eyes were swollen and red the next morning when I awake, I heard Kemar sweeping as I open my bathroom window and I took a hot shower before going down to the kitchen and making an hearty breakfast. I also serve Shanty and her five children out of it and still had more left, she said nothing to me as she went about her duties after telling the children she did not want to hear any noise at all.

I chuckled as Kemar tease the smaller ones and they curse him out quietly, I give them a dish of chips and some sweets before going to the outside kitchen to work until clients or others came. With all the money I have in my account I could open a business should I stop read-ing, Nicole needed a life because I can not see how she would be happy with a man who is in love with someone else. Maybe in time Cushane's heart will change towards her but right now I still feel it beating for me.
