My heart was beating intermittently when she handed the white letter with the signature of a bad handwriter to me. Actually, I knew the kind of signature at the back resembled the one from a doctor but I asked "what is the content of the letter?". Her response sent shivers down my spine "check it out now, it is the result of what you've sown" she adjusted the red top customized with the word "for you alone".
The cool breeze transformed into flame of fire as it run across my body. I was wearing an armless top with "never give up" inscribed on it. I looked into her beautiful pancaked face, she could see the vapour of the hot sweat coming out of my body.
"Where do I start from? Mum is in the hospital diagnosed with Malaria, I am jobless at the moment, My Landlord is coming for the balance of his house rent, I struggle always to fill the gas cooker in my one room self contain so I won't miss the 1-0-1 timetable of food, Mama Clara who sells provisions and foodstuffs will be coming five days time for her money and here is Omolewa in front of me with a letter from the doctor" I soliloquized with just my lips moving but my voice was not heard.
I looked up to see her smiling "what is the cause of your smile? You think this is funny?" I asked and the breeze carried away the accelerating saliva coming out of my mouth.
"Just forget it baby, I am not saying I am not the owner oooo but listen we've got to do something about it because we have to be guided" I said looking mean into her smiling face
"Ayomi, resume work on Monday. The address of the company is in that letter with a cheque to change your wardrobe because you are the new manager of M&T Group of companies" She replied copy-pasting the mean look I gave her
The rest was joy coupled with 5 minutes madness,....................
