Honest Illusions 14

Episode 14

Later that night...
Oprah sat on her bed, reflecting on the talk she had with Seye as they walked back home to their lodge. He truly stayed in the same lodge and block as her, Pritaso Block B but Oprah did not know till today. However Seye did because he had seen her around a couple of times.
Only a few minutes in Seye's company confirmed to Oprah that he was not faking his devotion to the things of God. Not that she had any doubts about it. She could not deny it had felt so good to talk to someone who didn't seem the least judgmental or arrogant. Maybe that was why all those brethren in church found him easy to talk to.

"How did you find the service?" He asked.

"I dunno, it was quite an interesting experience. It really felt like you were talking to me. How did you know?"

Seye chuckled, amused. "How did I know what?"

"Come on Seye, most of the things you said back there were really some of the things I'm experiencing at the moment. Hearing you talk about them made me feel like I am not alone."

"You're never alone Oprah, you have the Holy Spirit within you and he's your greatest friend and ally. No matter what issues you face, you just have to call on him and he would come to your rescue."

Oprah's phone buzzed beside her on the bed, effectively snapping her out of her reverie. She saw she had a ping from Chris.

"What's up bae? You home yet?"

After the embarrassment he caused her this evening she marveled at his audacity. She put off her phone without replying him. [i]He definitely stepped way out of line this time[/i] :-\
