FED UP!

They got their Bibles and got set to start. When they knelt down to pray, there was a bang on the door. They paused for a while. The knock came again but this time it was accompanied by the voice of a woman calling Mabel.

  “Mcheew it is Mama Risi,” Mabel said and got up from her kneeling position. “I thought it’s someone else.

  “What will she want at this time of the morning?” Cynthia asked.

  “I don’t know. She always comes but today is too early.”

                Mabel opened the door and met Mama Risi half dressed with a gele material in her hand.

  “Good morning ma,” Mabel greeted her.

  “Morning my dear. Sorry for disturbing you this early.”

  “Is it the gele?”

  “Yes o. The one you tied for me last time, my daughter scattered it.”

  “You and your daughter sef. Always spoiling your things.”

  “My dear what can I do?”

  “Come in.”

                Mabel stepped aside and let her into the room.

  “Good morning ma,” Cynthia greeted, still clutching her bible.

  “Morning Cynthia. O I stopped your morning devotion? Sorry.”

  “No problem ma.”

  “I need to be in first service so I can meet up with preparations for my village meeting in the afternoon.

                Mabel took the gele material from her, Cynthia brought a mirror and stood in front of Mama Risi who saw on a chair.

  “I forgot to check the gele until very late last night. There was no way I could come to disturb you.”

  “Mama Risi please stop explaining and keep your head straight,” Mabel said and started working on the gele.

                Mama Risi gave them tit bits on some neighbourhood gossip while Mabel and Cynthia fueled the gist. In few minutes, Mabel was done and Mama Risi thanked them and took her leave.

  “Let’s continue,” Cynthia said and started a song.

                They did not waste time in their devotion. When they were done, they watched a gospel ministration on TV until it was about 7am. Mabel’s phone started blinking.
