DIARY OF AN ADDICT - Episode 88

Everything looked set, sparkling, catchy and, more importantly, irresistible. That’s the way I love to present myself anyday, anywhere, anytime. Though I am not the Wizkid (abi na Wizman now), Davidos, 2Face of this part of the world, I think I am a little ok in MY OWN WAY. I am grateful for that

I sat down to relax after the impromptu sanitation and beautification of my house. Suddenly, something struck me: where is Cynthia? She hasn’t called since last night and her number was switched off the last time I called. Jesus! I hope this girl is safe. I dialed her number again and luckily, it rang and the call answered;
.
Me: Hello Cynthia. Where are you? I’ve been trying to call since
.
Unknown voice: Hello. Sorry she is not around. She is charging it here
.
Me: Oh, I see. Who are you please?
.
Unknown Voice: I am Nkechi. She came to charge her phone in our house
.
Me: Really? Where is your house in Enugu please?
.
Unknown voice: Why are you asking?
.
Me: Cynthia is my friend. She left Lagos since yesterday for Enugu. I have been trying to reach her but her number wasn’t connecting
.
Nkechi: Ok. I stay in Agwu
.
Me: Thank you very much. Please tell her Femi called whenever she comes to pick her phone, ok?
.
Nkechi: Ok
.
Me: Thanks. Bye Nkechi
.
Nkechi: Bye
.
Phew! Thank God she’s safe. At that spot, I realised there is a soft spot in me that is still rooting for Cynthia. Or better still, I think I love her…but I never, or we never used the word for each other. Anyways, I am happy she’s safe in Enugu; let her enjoy herself while I enjoy mine too with the queen of the moment: Ini

3pm. …. 4pm….. 5pm….. Around past 5pm, my boss called
.
Oga: Femi how are you?
.
Me: I am very good sir
.
Oga: That’s good to hear. Sorry I didn’t call yesterday. We had a very busy day yesterday. Hope you’re getting back to your healthy state?
.
Me: Yes sir. I even did a road jug this morning
.
Oga: Wow! Are you serious?
.
Me: Yes sir, from Ikate to Maruwa sir

Oga: Bravo! You may as well be Nigeria’s first Olympic Gold Medalist in Marathon if you keep doing that
