THAT FUNNY BELLY SOUND THAT SHUTS YOUR BRAIN DOWN
So today is Thursday and I just thought to do a little throwback. This isn't something that happened way back, I think about two months ago.
So my friend and I went house hunting because we didnt want any crooked agent to swipe us of any agent fee (rolled eyes). Like that was likely. Anyways, so we began our hunt from one amazing apartment to one sleazy, cramped one. Before our search we had bought oranges and buttercream biscuits (we happened to be fasting that period). Yeah I'm certain now, this happened in February. Sorry to digress. While at the amazing apartment, we ate the oranges and biscuits shamelessly. You know when you are at that point of hunger that your body shuts down every ounce of shame? yeah we were there. While eating, more like chewing and walking, we kept searching places. Lo and behold it was getting late and we still had not found a place. Okay cool, we can always just check again. Lets go home....oh my God!!! My tummy was making funny noises. This area is quite airy but I was beginning to sweat. I had been feeling funny but it just came and passed but this time around the ferocity was numbing, literally. Before this began, we were on a particular street and my friend had suggested we check this particular house. I kept opposing, I think I heard a dog backing or something. I didn't feel up to running that day so I kept shutting down the idea of us checking out the house. Fast forward now to the point where my brain has stopped functioning efficiently. The only mental pictures I could come up with were toilet seats, bushes, gutters... anything that could accommodate what my tummy wanted out. Blissfully my friend listens to God, cause that's the only intervention that could salvage me from my predicament. Lemme give you a picture of where we were. You know one of those GRA residents where the houses are super cool and all well fenced...yeah that's where we were. At a point I was considering one bush, not even bush, just a grasses place close to a gutter, after all it was getting dark. But No....its that time that one Abuja man and his babe, sister, mother, aunty, wife, i couldn't care less, decided to build a home and start a family in his car. That bush was out of it.
My friend finally ignored me and walked into the compound and started heading towards one house that had its light shining brightly. Talk about an angelic intervention, with the lights drawing you in. Me sha, I was at a point where I had lost shame, pride, sense and security consciousness. I followed hard after my friend with one purpose in mind. Use their restroom. Whether its a guy oh, babe oh, family man. Me I don't want to know, this thing has got to go down.
Long story short we got to the place and it turns out that some constructors, actually just one was renovating the place and that was why the light was so visible. 'Hi, please is there a toilet here'. That was the first thing that came out of my mind. My guy just showed me the place, there was no road sef, I had to pass under a table. If you see the way I went down swiftly, you'll think I was in a contest for the limbo dance. Jesus!!!! I'm free. My friend had to bring water for me cause of the renovation and all, and she kept complaining about how she couldn't pass under the table. See me rolling my eyes like babe please i passed there abeg just cut the crap. It was after, I was done with my business and it was time to exit that i realised how difficult it was to pass under the table. As a matter of fact I was stuck under it for some minutes cause i couldn't move. Woow, the power of adrenaline.
I just thought about it today and started laughing at myself, but the urges of life eh. Sometimes they just hit you without any warning and its up to you to figure out how to deal with them. Try to have the right voices around you cause you'll need them when your reasoning is overwhelmed by the pressure.
If you have any of such experiences, I'll like to hear. Just drop them in the comment box. Thanks.
