Episode One
On that faithful day, I had to attend a party. It was my friend’s friend uncle’s birthday, that kind party no dey my jurisdiction though but base on sey I dey high one girl for our area and she happens to be a cousin to my friend’s friend, so that was what stimulated me to attend the party. But unfortunately for me, I wasn’t that prepared but I still wanted to pull that off. Let me give you those reasons why I was not prepared;
I am an I.T student at International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), we resume work at 7:30am and close at 4:30pm…….those international Institute hardly leave time for you to rest except weekend. Secondly, we just moved into that house, and I got home late the previous day coupled with the fact that I have not done any laundry for almost two weeks. I am not as dirty as you are thinking right now, because I know you guys would have started having that impression. RAMSEY IS NOT A DIRTY BOY!! It was because of the preparation to the new house, and you know I only have little time to prepare because of my work place.
Back to the story, it was raining on that day like I said it started very early in the morning, my friend has called me very early that his friend had confirmed that my crush is going to be there. I jump up immediately, went outside and knock on our landlady’s apartment, the door was opened by a pretty damsel, our landlady’s daughter……her name is Foyinsola, I got to know later in the night because that was the first time I am seeing her.
Foyinsi: good morning, can I help you?
Me: yes good morning, I am one of the new tenants at the second apartment.
Foyinsi: oh! Nice meeting you, but hope there is no problem?
Me: not at all, I just wanted to ask if you know a place I can get soap this early morning.
Foyinsi: but it is raining, am afraid you have to wait till the rain stops, but if you are in a hurry I can give you a sachet of detergent.
Me: that would be great.
She went inside and brought out the soap, I collected it but I was so much in a hurry and I couldn’t say ordinary thank you. I could hear her saying THIS ONE IS VERY RUDE O! I ignored her and dashed into my bathroom and started washing my cloth, including the one I planned to wear to the party later in the day, it was an evening event so that gave me the leverage for my cloths to get dried, without knowing the adventure that is going to happen afterwards.
