Episodes 4
It was 1st of April, my birthday. Bisi and some of the sisters of NCCF
came to my house to help in the cooking. The birthday was fixed for 12pm, since we would be having choir practice by 5pm.
We ate, drank and made merry. In fact, it was indeed a memorable

everything in place.
I laid on my bed, closed my eyes, thanking God for the day and everyone He used to make the day a lovely one, when I heard a knock on the door.
