How God Called It [Being Edited And ON HOLD]

Two Different Worlds

[Thanksgiven's POV]

It's now the third month of the year, exactly two months and a week after Inner dumped me. I tried not to look at her around school, tried to forget about her but I can't. My friends, well.. True one's are making me see what my life is without her. I see it now. No amount of booze, cigars, parties nor girls can actually equate to her presence in my life.

Academic wise, love wise, spiritual wise (Not that am into it) but still.. Her absence screams at me. It's too loud that all I want to do is scream at myself for forcing her to leave me. Mom can see that something's wrong, but I just tell her that Inner's busy with school work since this is our last high school year. She really isn't making my grief any better.

I've hurt her. I have known her biggest fear since we met but I added onto that fear. That was and maybe still is.. Being cheated on. She always thought that being dumped was better than being cheated on. I mean, give her a reason as to why you wanna end the relationship then she'll get over it. But all her exes seemed to do was, to do exactly what she feared. What exactly she thought was devastating. Including myself.

I can't do this without her. I love her. I need her. I want her and I want her back. She seems focused on her life though, she no longer shows her emotions whenever I see her or walk past her. At first, she would be having a laughing fit with whoever but the minute she spots me, she would turn pale and seem sad. But now, she just puts a poker face or just continues to do whatever it is she'll be doing, without even acknowledging me.

How does one move on so quick? Knowing her.. It takes months (six as a minimum to be exact) to be able to get her. That girl's trial is exactly our Matric 'trial examination' period times two. There's no way she could have found someone this quick. No.. No ways. Let me give her a call and check up on how she's doing.

Ring ring.. Ring ring
Babe: "Hello?" Damn. How can she answer my call like she doesn't know who she's speaking to?
Me: "silence". I kept quiet not even knowing what to utter in response.
Babe: "Helllooo.. Look, if this is a wrong number, say so. If it's a prank, I'm hanging up."
Me: "Why was I so stupid. I shouldn't have called her." I said this making sure I pressed my phone against my pillow so she wouldn't hear me.
Babe: "Okay. It's a prank. Good bye." With that, the line went dead. She hung up on me.

[Inner's POV]

You'd think that weird calls are only for movies, but they do exist in real life. But on a different note, to say I'm excited would be an understatement, not at the call though but at the fact that it's March now and Easter is around the corner. I'm so excited. This will be my first Easter experience at this church. The past few years, I had managed to actually dodge the celebrations. I understand now. I didn't want to attend and found a way not to. Simple as that. But this year, it's a whole new ball game.

Ps Chris asked for a device for linking with the projector, I offered my laptop. However it's been a week since my WhatsApp got outdated and honestly the people I care about know that and the fact that I'm not going to be on WhatsApp soon. Life is actually much better without it. Plus, I still need to focus on my school work even more.

He had said I needed to bring it on Thursday and meet with the person who'll be operating it since it's my property, I needed to know who I left my laptop with. Yeah right. Did I even make the meeting? No. Because my WhatsApp got outdated and I was in no mood to upgrade it.

[Sunday]

Currently, it's the weekend before Easter.. It'll be held from the Friday the 25th to Sunday the 27th of  March, which is next weekend. It's Sunday and I have a day off from duty. So I can wake up a little later than usual and prepare for church. I got a call earlier on from Ps Cecile, asking me to please bring the laptop to church. Honestly, I'm only getting a little bit embarrassed now. But hey, at least my WhatsApp reason is valid and true.

Of course I said yes. And today, I'm carrying both my hand bag as well as the laptop bag. My heels honestly aren't making the task at hand any easier. But fortunately, I'm walking with mom today since I'm not serving, so she can be of assistance. I'm so excited as well as for the fact that this week, there's the Easter recess. It doesn't make sense to me though.. Why give us a whole week's recess before Easter then make us go to school only after Easter weekend?

I mean, after that weekend, isn't it the time where everyone is super tired and needs a breather? But thank the heavens for the diligence of the education system. (Note the sarcasm). Mom and I attend the same services except the first Sunday because after noon, she has a society gathering.. So, if I'm serving in only one of the two services mainly being the eleven o'clock one, she goes to the morning one. But today, we're attending the second one.

Upon our arrival at church, I have to meet with Ps Chris and meet this I.T whoever person, so I can tell him my passwords and all that jazz. We're at church now and "here goes nothing." I say as we enter the premises.

I immediately walk towards Ps Chris and greet him with a warm smile. Lord knows how uncomfortable I get around him. I feel like he can see right through me and who wants to engage with a person like that? All the more reasons why I joined the choir.. I didn't want to be comfortable around my leader. Weird right? Yeah.. I know.

Ps Chris: "Sister Happiness hello." he greets. Yeah, at church they don't know my first name. I honestly only use it at school since it's a preparation for getting into 'the national school system' 🙄
Me: "Good morning Ps. I a-apologize for not m-making it d-during the week". Leave all the stuttering and rude manners to me when I'm around my Pastor. If mom were here, she'd ask if I woke up in Pastor's house.
Ps Chris: "I hope you are good. The person you need to talk to just left, he had been waiting. He's still around the yard for sure. Just call out Reign, if he's not far off yet then.. He'll answer. Catch up to him before he walks off, he's pretty quick with his steps". With that, I left Ps behind. Sprinting off to call the stranger.

"Brother Reign.. Brother Reign.. Wait!! Brother Reign.. Wait!" I was panting, screaming and pacing. I saw a lot of guys around the church yard. But no one seemed to have my attention. I called out for the last time. "Brother Reign".. All of a sudden, a figure nearing the church gates stopped and turned around. I was nearly at the end of the outside corridor when the figure started heading to my direction.

"OH MY GOD! 😱.. Him? Honestly he's the person I'll be working with? This is one big sick joke. And it's not even funny. I mean, look at him." I said all these to myself completely zoning everything and everyone out. I got snapped out of my thoughts when a figure stood before me. I looked up to his face and immediately thought.. 'He's a combination of Pharrell Williams, August Alsina and Chris Brown, holy moly'. I still had to explain my chaotic stunt and reason for abruptly calling him.

Me: "U-uhh.. H-Hi. Are you b-brother Reign?" I ask completely shook.
Him: "Yes I am. Why were you calling me?" He has the audacity to even smirk. Oh.. Curse his good look. He's hot. Right now, my cheeks are burning. Let's not forget about me feet.
Me: "Uhh.. Ps Chris said I should call you." I said trying to keep my cool.
Him: "OK. After you madam.." He gestured for me to walk but I just stood there. I don't like guys walking behind my back. Or anyone for that matter.
Me: "Uhm.. I d-don't l-like people w-walking b-behind me." Great. Just great! I really had to stutter AGAIN.
Him: "Side by side it is then." With those words, we walked together until we were inside church.

Along the way, we met with a few people and some from the choir team. Including my best friend. (not that it was a journey to another state). We arrived next to Ps Chris. He smiled and said: "Now that you two have met, he's the one to take responsibility for your laptop and she's the one we've been waiting for last Thursday. She knows her laptop. I'll leave you guys to it." With those words, he left. Leaving me dumbfounded next to this hot, very hot and annoying stranger next to me. I face-palmed myself groaning and blushing.. How could this be possible?

[Third Person's POV]
Little did Inner know that she and Thanksgiven were living in two different world now.
