Something happened yesterday evening. It was late already, at about 9pm . I was the only one at home. I was making a pot of stew which I wanted to use to eat rice. When I remembered that my drinkkmg water had finished, I ran into my room, took some money and dashed out.
The store is very close my house plus I did not want them to close since it was already late. The store i visited, the couple who own it and I are quite cordial. We talk about politics a lot.
When I got there, there were a few other customers. I like orderliness so I let them attend to those already present as should be. The couple started talking about and asking about the political-happenings. Wife would talk, husband would talk, I'll talk too(who am I nau?) and before I knew it, we were engrossed. Talk is sweet sha.
It was tbe moment one man stopped by and ordered tin tomato that I remembered my stew . I immediately took my water, can't remember between the woman or man who I paid my money to. Quickly,, I activated the Usian-bolt in me and started running. Actually, I fled.
I was frantic and panting. Halfway into my run, I realized there were people running alongside me. I was scared at first, so my pace increased. My dears, their pace increased too. Instinctively, I looked back and realized that among them was the man who had gone by the store to get tin tomato. When I looked even farther behind, I saw that the couple I bought stuff from were hurriedly throwing things into their shop. They had even turned off their store light. Toh!
It was then that it dawned on me what was happening. I chuckled.i could have stopped running but I knew better than to do that.
I continued running until I reached my gate , pushed it open, got in, slammed it shut(with exaggerated force) and ran in to turn off my cooker.
Hmmm!
When I opened my pot, it had turned black. A perfect burnt offering. I was in so much pain but as I recalled the past, little moment, I was consoled. Especially because some persons might still be running. Plus, that couple will be feverish. Afterall, they were the ones that delayed me.
Them: 1 - me: 1
This morning, I did not even bother to stop by their store when I wanted to get bread although I know they sell it. No be me husband and wife go wipe cord for neck.
Thanks for gracing this post.
Greetings!
