I Love My Life

Episode 18

Flash interrupted the discussion.
Flash: Congrats man! God knows why…
I shook him and then gave him a hug.
Me: Some days are like that. Bad things are made to happen in preparations for the good.
Flash: Na so ooo. The first shall be the last nii
Me: Bible quote am sha
Flash: We keep on working hard… We don’t relent
Me: I wish you the best
Flash: Thanks…. Will you be contention for the All African Games coming up next year?
Me: God’s willing, I will appear. But for now, lemme write my finals and graduate.
Flash: Final year?
Me: Yeah
Flash: Ok na.. All the best
Me: Thanks man… I will invite you for my
convocation
Flash: No wahala… We shall meet again in a better field and a better place and get to finish what we have started
Me: I will be waiting.
He turned to Kosi,
Flash: Nne, you are beautiful
Kosi: Am shy
Flash: That’s the truth. Good things are hard to come by
Kosi: Na sooo.
Flash: Am Flash, I believe you must have heard it
Kosi: The guy that fell down? So bad. I wish you actually came the first place but sometimes, things don’t happen the way we want… But am Kosi anyway.
Flash: Nice meeting you
Kosi: Same here. We will meet again
Flash: Your boyfriend? He pointed at me
Kosi: Something greater than a boyfriend
Flash: You will make a fine couple
Kosi: By God’s grace
He smiled and shook my hand again and left. I knew Kosi will say something about Eve again, so I left her to see my coach.
Coach: Aaah my boy, you made me proud
Me: Thank you sir
Coach: But you still have to improve
Me: I hope I do. I was just too fortunate to get over him. Another person could have Coach: Yeah… So go and spend wisely. 500k is a small money. Manage it well and you know the rules involved in having a car?
Me: Yes sir… I will try all I can
Coach: Okay, have a nice time
Me: You too
I was expecting him to remind me to get his own share of the money but he didn’t.
We got into the car together and drove off, with Williams driving. The car was solid and fast… And for the first time in my life, I felt satisfied and was like 007 in his BMW (James Bond). On our way home, we got a Dj mix from a vendor and increased
the volume. Tricia opted to follow us and Jegede agreed, together with one of her friends. So we were like 6 in the car but didn’t mind.
God was actually blessing me folds by folds. I lacked my house rent, someone paid it for me… I lacked money, someone was ready to give me 600k, I wanted a ride and someone got me a car.
What a wonderful God I serve. I didn’t remember to go through the invitation the Celine gave me.
It was around 10am when we got home. I made sure the whole street heard about what happened. I threw my fridge open and took out all the wines and we all drank. It was really fun. Tricia and her friend had to go so that they can get prepared for the party which was to start by 3pm.

I felt so weak and tired and didn’t know when I drifted off.
