As If the sun is not hot enough, this traders would be dragging your dress as If na by force to buy clothe, Sister con buy clothes kor mschew no be say me sef no one buy, na money yab man, me that luck is just beginning to shine on me. Am some minutes away from getting my employment letter, and my joy knows no bounds. Me sef go soon dey wear suit they form workaholic, on Monday me sef go dey update social media, #traffic tinz, #I hate Monday's, #I miss the weekend etc. Mehn God be praised. I remember my very first interview, it was crazy, I didnt believe I would be called. Fate smiled on me, Mrs Adeshina one of the human resource personnel just took to me and here I am with my letter right in my palm. I have patiently waited for this day for some months. Am glad it's finally history. A new journey has just began. I smiled gracefully.
It's been seven months and some days since I joined the labour force and yes it has been stressful, (I feel really glad saying that, *wink*) and Mrs Adeshina has become my *bestest* friend, despite the age difference, she didn't turn up at work today for some reason she didn't disclose, I"ll check her up tomorrow by God"s grace, thank God is Saturday then I remembered I was hanging out tonight with some of my crazy male friends. I just pray I do not have a hang over else the journey to Adeshina"s house might be moved till Sunday.
I schooled in London and the only female friend I could trust found her Prince Charming on Wall Street during one of our holiday trips to the U.S. She's a proud mother of two cuties and is doing very well as a consultant.(In other news, am stuck with 3 of the world"s most naughtiest boy, I love them all the same) We were chilling at some exotic but very secluded place on the island, I had to ask Bassey how in the world he found this place out and Teni answered babes this is where we bring our side chicks too. The sad part is Bassey is engaged to a girl in the U.K o, He has another steady girlfriend here who thinks he"ll change her last name soon and he stil had other side chicks, I just wonder how he will discard this all of them when she returns. Teni is a world class womaniser, no need to argue that and Henry our newly wedded husband has a way of bringing a chick every time he's spending the night outside his home, he claims he"s just a "social cheat" nothing serious like if his wife claims that same title, he wouldn't divorce and give her the beating of her life. (Deir matter taya mi I no fit lie)
I arrived my bestie house, her kids are in boarding school and her sugar rush 😘 out. Babes like I usually called her, why didn't u turn up yesterday? Don't mind me, I went to see my pastor. Oh (shebi I supposed stop there, my inquisitive nature stil they probe the matter) what for I asked? (Am sure she didn't expect to be such a pest, I saw uneasiness in her eyes though, but I carried on) did he request to see you or you had a bad dream or????? (She realised I wasn't given up, so she took a deep breadth) Tania am sort of shy to say this to you, but I will anyways erm my husband and I have been having issues connecting sexually. (Then I Paused) that's a delicate issue and one of major concern but wait why Your Pastor? Is he a Sex expert?
(She look fazed) babes I know you are a very spiritual person, but this no be pastor matter. Yes, he can pray for you concerning spiritual things and bless you and pray that whatever it is that wants to destroy your marriage and Joy should catch fire but.....(she did not seem to agree, I had to make her reason with me) look, it's just like saying you want to invest in some...... Babes when you need financial advice na pastor you dey go? I can understand if you go to him for God to lead you aright to make the right choices from the list presented by your financial adviser. Hmmm I don't (she cut in) but prayer answers all things (she said) I replied of cos. but this time you people need to know what is disconnecting you, which might not be spiritual, you and your husband need to seek solutions from specialist in this field and pray along side. (I held her) it's just like a student praying to pass exam and instead of reading school books is reading the bible, God is not a magician remember. (She finally nodded and said she"ll inform her husband)
Weeks ran into months, my darling bestie, came into my office whispered into my ears, we are beginning to see changes, God continue to increase your wisdom. (I blushed, I was glad) and yes she squeezed some money into my palms as always, that's why it's always good to share your problems with good friends you never know who can proffer solutions she said.
With that beautiful feeling, I was almost drifting to answer natures call when my phone rang, it was Teni. (Kini I answered) meaning what is it? Babes no sleep o, open your eyes e Don shelle (Kia Kia the sleep vamoose for my eye) Biko spill the gist jor. You sound worried. It's Bassey, Bisi (the girl he engaged in London) decided to pay him a surprise visit (I knew the rest of the story already, I just let him finish) and then his new friend Toye who doesn't know her and was drunk opened the door and she caught them on the bed together (hmmmm I said) that's not all (I sat up) not only did she drop her ring and alert the whole family, Bassey side chick is Bisi"s Cousin. Ghen ghen I said. Infuriated Teni yelled!!!! Is that all you have to say? Look I already warned you people Una no grew hear, shebi it's a man"s world, he"ll find 200 women licking his feet before the week runs out abeg sleep dey worry me. I just hate you... Love you sweet ( I replied laughing )
