She called, “yes mummy!” Lucy shouted from her room, “come out and greet the pastor “ she said, “I'm coming mum” Lucy said. ‘ so what do I offer you sir and ma?” Lisa asked, “water is okay” Kate replied , “no ma, I won't take that…. I have toast bread in the refrigerator, just let me put it in the microwave and I have my home made juice” Lisa said, “I guess we don't have a choice then” Kate said smiling , Lucy entered the sitting room, “good afternoon sir, good afternoon ma “ she greeted , “beauty queen, how are you doing?” Kate asked, “I'm fine ma” Lucy said blushing, “how were your exams?” Pastor Matt asked , “fine sir but we are praying for a beautiful result” she replied with her gaze on champ, "that's a good thing because all good things come from above" Pastor Matt said though Lisa was no longer paying attention to him,  "hey Champ" she said, "hi Lucy" Champ said and smiled at her, , "Champ, can we see in my room?" she asked and turned to his mum, "it's okay" Kate said, Champ nodded and followed her to her room, “Champ, what of M.J?” she asked as she sat on the bed, “she hasn’t started talking to anyone yet, she's still in the room” Champ replied soberly,  “have you spoken to her after that day?” Lucy asked, Champ was about to reply when a teardrop falls from Lucy's eye, “you mean Mary-Jane is still mute?” she asked, "yes Lucy..... It is a serious issue because Daddy got an opportunity to leave the country and mummy said we can't afford to take them along with us" Champ explained, Lucy bent her head and broke into tears, "why is this happening to M.J, why did it have to be M.J of all the people in the universe. She loves God and is not envious of anyone... She follows peace with everyone... Why didn't God look at all these Champ?" she asked, Champ touched her hair, "if only I could answer all these questions Lucy, I have also thought of that but there aren't answers Lucy.... We just have to continue praying for God to help M.J and Sammy" He said, Lucy buried her head on his shoulders and sobbed quietly.
