Overcomer - Episode 17

 

Omotola's POV

I cried when Mercy asked me, why I opt for l*sbianism??, It took her 20minutes to calm me down. It is a long story, I said

Cut it short. She replied.

I did plan to be a l*sbian, but I succumbed to it just to satisfy my s*xual urge. I suffered from that before I met Stephanie in my SS1 second term. my stepfather started molesting me at age 10, i was not even menstruating yet, at first I was scared, frightened, I fought him but he was much stronger than me, I looked for ways to tell Mom, but she shuts me up, he had s*x with me against my will.

One day, my mum came home unannounced and caught him, she blamed me for s*ducing her husband,  I paused crying, since then there has been this hatred between mom and I

I was becoming used to it, I decided not to cause more trouble for myself, so I succumbed to it, it got to the stage I lied down on my bed praying for him to come, a week without s*x was like hell to me, when I came to boarding school, It wasn't easy for me, until Stephanie came into the picture, have been doing this for a year now, I wonder how I will cope, I said

Mercy looked at me, I could see tears gathering her eyes, don't worry she managed to say, all will be well . It was time for light out in the hostel, so I left her dormitory to mine

. I felt so relieved talking to Mercy, this was the first time in my life, I told someone about this.

Stephanie's POV

I sent threat letters to Tola, but she ignored me, I sent for her, she refused to come, I gave her two good weeks to change her mind, but she refused, I decided to threat her f*ck up , no one messes with Stephanie Okoro and go scout free.

On Monday morning, I walked to the principal's (Miss Esan) office, after the assembly, Good morning ma, I said frowning, good morning love, we are alone why the formalities, have told you whenever we are together call me pet names and not ma, she said, and I forced a smile

What is the matter with you , you look sad, did any teacher upset you???,  she asked, I want you to expel someone,  why??, What happened?, She broke up with me, I want you to punish her , don't worry I will come up with a plan, I want you to accuse her of l*sbianism. 

Ok darling, I will do just that, but it will take some time, let me say almost one or two months, She said.

I walked up to her and kissed her, we made out inside the office, that was not the first time.  You are such a sweet girl, I then left her office and the 1st period was already over.

Mercy's POV

I sent for Tola that evening, we need to talk,  Tola did you tell anyone, like your pastor about the s*xual assault I asked

Lol,  Pastor, we hardly go to church, we don't even have a specific church, we manage to go 1st and last Sunday of every year and sometimes during watch night service.

Hmmmm, I sighed, your past is gone, lets focus on the future, it is not to late to be introduced to Jesus, you might have wasted years of your life wallowing in sin, but it is not to late to make a decision to erase those errors, if any man be in Christ , he is a new creature, old things are passed away, behold all things are new. I said

I looked at her, he can help you put ur urges under control, he can correct your inner man, God is ready to accept you the way you are and make you a better person, that was why he sent Jesus to die, so we can have a better life.

She accepted Jesus that day, I was happy, I wrote down the date on my diary. Then I said again, it doesn't stop at just accepting him but you fleeing from every appearances of evil.

Omotola's POV

Many people have preached the gospel to me before,  but there was something different about this one, every word she said pierced my soul, o gave my life to Christ instantly

I decided to know more about that Jesus, she thought me how to pray, how to study the word of God, I started experiencing peace beyond measure, one day I had this serious urge for s*x, my mind hurriedly went to Stephanie, I took my bath and wanted to go, then I remembered Mercy said , you can put your s*xual urge under God's control,  I immediately knelt down and prayed to God, I handed it over to Jesus, I cast my burden unto him, I slept off, I woke up with no regrets.

A weeks later, the principal called me to her office, Someone reported you , she said you have been trying to initiate her into being a l*sbian, she said, I was surprised , I have never seen this girl in my entire  life, I will be transferring your case to the disciplinary committee next week, get out of my office she said , without hearing a word for me, I knew it was Stephanie's handwork, I wanted to confront her, but I wanted to tell Mercy first

I went to Mercy's place to inform her about the latest, we need to pray and fast about this she said.

I will confront Stephanie tommorow,  I said . Don't go yet until after the fast, your spirit need to be strong and your flesh weak before you go to her.

Ok, I nod, then went straight to night class to read.

Mercy's POV

I was shocked when Tola told me everything, something was fishy, I said to myself.

I told her not to panic, to be of good courage because we have overcome, the 2nd day of the fast, I went to meet the chaplain (Mr Williams) of our school church, He was the head of Disciplinary committee,  he was happy to see me, I greeted him, sit , if a student was a l*sbian and gave her life to Christ and sincerely broke free from it, and the school finds out she is a l*sbian and wants to expel her, is it right.

It is not right and it is also right, if the  school has been on the issue before the person changed , they are right,  why did you ask,  I explained  the whole issue to him, I saw her in my dream before she was placed under me for supervision and she told me the same story.

He sighed , then paused for some minutes, ok I can help her, bring her to my office before the prefect interview  tomorrow.

Thank you sir, I said leaving his office. You are welcome He said.

I called Tola that afternoon and told her about it, she was scared, but also thankful to me, for going this far to help her.

I told her, no matter what, I believe you will overcome.
