...After my break
up with Olu, I kept myself busy with work and Church activities. I don’t party
or club but I make sure I use my free time to engage myself in things that
makes me happy. I fed my soul with good music. Yes music is food for the soul.
Sincerely I enGraceed
my single status, I was free, I don’t owe anyone any explanation for my life, I
do things my way and I buy less recharge card. I know how much I spend on
recharge cards when I was dating.
My Parents were
very happy because I was happy. My Daddy called me once and told me I never knew
you are this strong, I’m proud of you .He actually said
this after My cousins wedding. My cousin got married to her....Price charming, her
wedding was awesome. I was there for her all through.
I just told him
Daddy, the Grace of the Lord is my strength. What does’nt
kill you, make you stronger.
Five months
later, I was in my room relaxing after doing my chores. I was about to see a
movie on my laptop when I heard my phone ring, I looked around for my phone
then I noticed the sound is coming from the bathroom.
I remembered I
left it there when I washing. My Mom always warn me not to take my phone to the
bathroom, but I love listening to music when washing or doing other chores.
In my Mummy’s
voice The day that phone will drop inside water, ehn. Thank God you are
working, you know how easy it is to earn money
I rushed into
the bathroom to pick my phone. I checked the caller Id it was an international
number, I was wondering who it was, although I have few friends abroad, but we
only communicate via social media platforms, we rarely talk on...
phone.
Hello
Hello I replied,
please who is this
This is Henryon
the line calling from America, please I’d like to speak with Mr. Mike he said
in American accent.
Sorry, this is a
wrong number I informed him.
Wrong number He said
from the other end. Please hold on while I checked the number again.
Silence.
I just rechecked
this is the number I was given he said Well, I’m sorry
this is my line and obviously I’m not Mr Mike
I expected him
to end the call but he did not, I suspected he’s some how disappointed.
Oh my goodness
he said stressing each word.
Any problem I
asked just feeling concerned.
I’m coming to
Nigeria on a business trip tomorrow and he’s suppose to help me settle down and
show me around. Mr. Mike is a cousin to a friend of mine whom I can’t even
reach right now. He’s busy with his project somewhere in East Africa and I can’t
reach him over there too he explained.
Sorry about
that, I said. Do you know his email address, if you do then you can mail him Yes I have sent
numerous mails to him, I called this line because he did not reply any of my
mails
Ok let’s try it
this way, use his email address to search for him on facebook, then maybe you
can be lucky to get his mobile no or other information about him on facebook I
suggested.
You are a life
saver, you know I never thought of that, I was so anxious to get through to
him, I couldn’t think straight. That was a good suggestion, thanks for your
time. Despite the fact that I’m a stranger, you still took your time to find me
a solution. Thanks I appreciate it. What’s the name he asked Adejoke, but if
you can’t pronounce that you can call me Henrietta Of course I can,
I’m Nigerian and I’m yoruba but I’ll prefer Henrietta since my name is Henryhe said jokingly. Thanks
for your help
You are welcome
Thanks once
again and have a great weekend.
You too, bye I
replied, then the line went off.
To be
continued...........
