The previous night I was dead tired, like I couldn't move mussels kind of tired. So I told hubby I would be waking up very late the following morning. If it wasn't 9 o'clock they shouldn't wake me up unless someone was dying, I don't care I just wanted to sleep like my life depended on it.
I was almost furious when I felt his tap on my cheeks, " Babe, you seem to have an important call, it is an international number.
With a sleepy head, I dragged myself up from bed and sat on the stool close to our bed. Mumbling to myself, "that caller better be worth it or I may lay a hundred years cures on the person."
I grabbed my phone, picked up my call, and was blown away by the caller at the other end.
"Hello who is speaking, please?"
"Hi, is that Funshee, you participated in my latest giveaway, this is Mark, Mark Zuckerberg"
"Mark, Mark what,? In my mind, is this a kind of prank or what
Yes, yes, I remember the giveaway about a week ago.
Well, congratulations 🎉 you are one of my two lucky winners.
"So I'm just going to change this call to a WhatsApp video call for you to be sure I'm real."
Within a split second, his video call came.
"You only have one wish to make, what is it that one big dream you wish can come true if money is not the problem, before you say anything think carefully and remember there is no limit to what you can wish for, I will call you back in thirty minutes to have your answer.
Bye for now Funshee."
My mouth was ajar, and my mind went blank for the first five minutes, but I must hurry up, and get my thoughts together, time was ticking.
I kept racking my mind, thinking of what I wanted most in this life, after all, I can wish for anything. I kept thinking for the next twenty minutes, and then a thought of an answer came to my mind. I called hubby to relate it with him, he was listening to the whole conversation all along as I put my call on speaker the moment I realized who the collar was.
" Babe, if you could travel around the world, would you be happy to do it?" he hesitates for a few minutes and says, I would love that, to be free as a bird always on the move to anywhere we want.
Just then my phone rang again, “hello there, Funshee, I'm sure by now you have your answer.”
Yes, with the biggest smile you can ever imagine on my face and my heart was racing so fast.
Then I began, "I have only one big dream, and lucky for me it aligns with my hubby's greatest desire, and that is what I want you to do for me.
Okay, spill it out, today is your luckiest day Funshee. I will be your fairy Godfather for today.
I want to become the world's best traveler, I want to be able to tour the world starting from my fellow African countries, to Europe and anywhere in the world that fancy my desire. To experience their land, the people, food, culture, and environment
And I want you to open a kind of trust fund for the project, oh I will be carrying my family of three along, I have a husband and a son plus five additional people of my choice at any given moment, just in case my family increase and when I want to Invite one or two friends to join in my adventure.
Is that what you want?
Yes, I'm very sure, is that too much for the world's first five richest men in the world?
"No, don't worry, nothing is too much for your fairy godfather."
"Consider it done, before the end of today, I will have a team put things in place, put it in writing, and open your trust fund account for your adventure. Plus a team that is going to be monitoring your progress all through."
Wow, Mr Mark, I do not know what to say or how to appreciate you. But thank you so much from the depth of my heart.
Aren't you an adventure creature?
It is my pleasure. You will hear from my team soon. Bye!
My eyes were depleted, my ears couldn't just believe what happened, and my heart was feeling like it was exploding from over-excited.
I called my parents and told them to start packing their bags, we are going on a world tour, a world tour I screamed at the top of my voice.
Then I thought about hive and some of my friends around here. Since I could have an extra five people on the tour, my parents plus my hubby, myself, and my son means I can still bring with me an extra three people. I thought of running a contest where three lucky friends could go on a tour with me on every single trip I would make.
About three hours later, Mark's team sent the paperwork for the whole thing to my email and asked me to sign it and get back to them within three days.
Still astounded, I couldn't believe my fortunes could change in the twinkle of an eye.
I felt a tap on my cheeks, I heard Hubby's voice faintly saying, "Babe, it's time you wake up, it's almost 10 am, I have breakfast ready for you, get up before it gets cold.
I opened my eyes and screamed, no ooooh, don't tell me I was dreaming.🙄🙄🙄
And he said, was it a good dream?
Yes, it was, and?
Don't worry Babe dreams do come true.
The end
