EPISODE 02


NOTE: At this episode, I have been born to a family of Mr & Mrs. Green.






I was still sleeping when I heard a song, I thought I was still dreaming. To my surprise, I saw my mum and dad singing happy birthday to me, I was so happy ehnnnnnn, to the extend of I jumping up to hug dad forgetting that I haven't brushed my teeth. My boy is now a big boy now so you deserves to have another clothe for ur 10th birthday. My mum was now on her way back to kitchen. Seth, u need to come here now to have your bath so as not to be late for school, it won't be nice if Uncle Ayo beat you in school, said mum. Although I have never been beaten in school by any teacher for lateness but mum scare me with that to hasten me. That day went well since it was my especial day but little do I know that me clocking 10 was the beginning. It is now, 4:30pm, and I'm still waiting for my parent which was unusual of them to come late. As I was busy looking at every angle to check if my parent were coming, I saw this tall man, nicely dressed, approaching me. I was too young to be afraid of any suspicious approach. His look was gentle, as he move closed, he bent to my height and called me by my name; Alex, happy birthday, he said and which I said thank you sir. I wanted to ask him how he knew my name but before I could utter any statement, he beings is talk. I'm a friend and I have been waiting for so long of which u have no idea of how long it is but will tell u something. I want you to know that there many people waiting out there for you, who love you more than any one. As he mention that, I told him that; what of my best friend and in replied that those he was talking about are more lovely than my bestfriend, and even my parent. As he stood up to to leave, he deep his hand and brought out a Game Boy. Wow! I was like, oh my god! He said, this is for you. But but...............tt. You wanted to say your parent will beat you for collecting something from a stranger, right? He said. Yes sir, I have been told not to collect things from......... He interrupted, don't worry, I will settle that. To be sincere with you guys, 90% of me has collected it but the 10% was talking of my parent. I collected the gift reluctantly since he promise to settle it. As he was leaving, he smiled and and suddenly I felt a tap on my shoulder. As I turn to look at the owner of that finger, I saw no one so I turn to my previous site but to my amazement, the man I was seeing and talking to few seconds ago had vanished. I was like, where is this man, and suddenly something hit my mind. During the 30 minute of talking to this with this man, my school premises as never been so quiet, I mean at least 4 students will be there and two school cleaners even though it is closing time. This thought didn't spend much time before it evaporated my mind since the joy of Game Boy as filled it. I was still glancing through the gift when I heard a voice called on me. Alex, Alex, sorry for being late, it was my car that broke down and I have to call my mechanic. I stretch my hand to show him the gift and he interrupted what was going on in my mind. I know, he said. Know what sir, I requested. The father to your friend, he met me twhile I was waiting for my mechanic by the road side. He told me of ur good behaviour and all other things and also said he presented you a gift for your birthday. My mouth was open in my mind. I do not introduce my father to any person in school so how come but I dear not open my mouth to say sure thing to my father.
