Honest Illusions 7

Episode 7
Evergreen Lodge, Aluu. 8pm...

It was the last day of the Campus Wide Evangelism Programme organized by the Redeemed Christian Fellowship (RCF). Most of the students that had so far attended were RCFites. Despite the publicity campaigns,other students on the campus didn't pay much attention to the programme. Students often spoke about RCFites as being strict and conservative so they stayed away.


From his room in Evergreen Lodge, Chris could hear the songs from the fellowship site. He was standing by his room window directly opposite the entrance of the fellowship, more focused on his lodge's gate.

It was 8:00pm and Oprah still hadn't arrived. He was becoming angry. She had said her lectures would end at 6:00pm. Even if she was going to be late, it shouldn't be more than thirty minutes. She was already two hours late.

It wasn't that they had a date, he just didn't enjoy having to wait for her for two hours. Maybe she had decided to stop over at her room. He stared out into the dark night, he couldn't see very far. He had no reason to be angry. If Oprah was late, there would be a good reason for it but he couldn't explain why he was angry.

He went back to his bed and sat down. It was Friday and Steve, his roommate had gone to town. Maybe Oprah's lateness was a blessing in disguise afterall. He could talk her into sleeping over, since she had taken her time coming over and the rest as they say, would be history. He smiled smugly as he took out a magazine and started flipping through.
