“The Song is not ready yet Sir.” I heard my twin brother and Best Friend Daniel say to the Choir Master that evening. I stopped with the tuning of my violin and gaped in shock.

Silence filled the church auditorium as all the choral members looked on in surprise.
My twin is very good at Composing songs and most songs sang by the Choral Members were composed by him. Everyone knew his songs were Spirit Lifting and Life Changing. One of his songs had even led to my conversion. At the last Choir meeting, Pastor James, as we called our Choir Master had once again given him a topic to prepare a song on.
For the past three days, Daniel had stayed glued to his room playing the keyboard and writing seriously. He even missed his Dinner the previous night even though I went to check on him several times that dinner was ready. We had the family devotion without him.
“All that and the song wasn’t ready? Something wasn’t right.” I thought.
I stood up as I handed my violin over to Bidemi, my friend who sat beside me. I walked towards Daniel where he now stood with Pastor James as he looked up and mouthed “not now” to me.
I sighed in defeat as I returned to my seat.
“We’ll move to the next song. But that means we’re all going to wait after tomorrow’s vigil to practice the song.” Pastor James said to everyone.
Murmurings and complains were heard as I looked towards Daniel where he now sat.
He was staring hard towards my direction but on a closer look I realized he wasn’t looking at me.
“Bro Daniel , I believe the song will be ready by tomorrow?” Pastor James asked.
“Ehmm !!” he said stuttering as he turned towards the Pastor.
“Yes Sir.” he replied quickly as the Pastor nodded and once again Daniel’s face turned towards me. But this time, he had an angry look.
“What’s wrong with him?” I asked as I followed his gaze.
He was staring hard at Bidemi.
