Friday Night

-

                 


Wait, Did i just sneeze? I must have been so engrossed in the report I was typing that i didn't realize when Carolina, the office cleaner started vacuuming.
Well, it's Monday and the world has started rotating again. I particularly can't place a finger on how the last weekend went. All i could remember last was that John and i were supposed to go out for dinner on Friday night. I had hurried out of the office so i'd get a dress picked for the outing before the clothing outlets close for the week. Even Charles, my colleague at work, couldn't understand what the hurry was all about. His countenance said it all! He's the closest to someone i'd call a friend but i started keeping my distance the day he stole a kiss on me. "What the hell" i had retorted angrily and walked away. He stopped knowing anything going on in my life right from that moment.
I didn't bother telling him when i met John, the man of my dreams, my knight in shining armour.

I got into the last clothing outlet few minutes to closing time and picked the perfect dress for a Friday night dinner and few hours later, i was sitting on my couch, perfectly dressed, waiting for John. He came 10mins later but instead of him taking me to an exclusive restaurant, he took me to an old flat probably belonging to some old couple from downtown.
"What am i doing here John?" i asked him. He smiled and when i looked towards the small hallway leading to the other parts of the house, there came Charles.

**************************************

I opened my eyes and found myself on my bed. Trying to recollect past events, i think i must have stomped out of Charles' house and came straight to bed but i hope to steal him away during the tea break. He's gat some serious explanations to do.

CHAPTER 7 Mide had just finished attending to an emergency patient suffering from a heart attack. The patient was admitted and put on a life supporting machine. She was tired and later retired into her  office. She decided to have a short nap and she had another dream.  In the dream, She was climbing a hill with someone she's so familiar with. They were both laughing and playing all the way till they got to the top of the hill. They were both having a good time and suddenly the person she was with, pushed her down the hill. She was going down and shouting for help when suddenly a rope from nowhere caught and started pulling her back up. She got back up and realized someone else pulled her up. The voice of one of her colleagues woke her. "Dr Martins! Dr Martins!"  She raised her head up suddenly and realized she had been dreaming all along. She wiped her face with her hands. "Yes Dr Ayo!" she replied "Your attention is needed in ward ...

CHAPTER 8  Mide went back home that day heavy-burdened. She didn't even know how she got home safely with her present state of mind. Pst Mrs had assured her all will soon be well so far she breaks up with Dara ASAP. She left her Pastor's house late that Saturday evening after she and Pst Mrs prayed heartily. She had hugged her before leaving.  She drove into her compound and met Desola already waiting for her outside. Desola had tried calling her several times the day before and earlier that day before she decided to go to her house but unfortunately for her, she forgot the spare key Mide gave her and so had to wait till she comes back. Mide got out of the car and started walking towards Desola with her bag. "How are you Mide?" Desola asked but before Mide could open her mouth to reply her, she landed on the floor. Desola shouted and started screaming her name. She put her ears on Mide's chest to check if she was breathing fine. She found out she...

CHAPTER 10 (grand finale)   They got to an exclusive restaurant, ordered for food and started talking. "So i heard you are engaged and getting married soon" Sammy suddenly said immediately they started eating "oooh, you heard!" Mide said shamefully. She didn't know how to break the news to him. "Well, yes i was" she finally replied. "Was?  What happened?" he asked curiously, then his phone rang and Mide could see from the screen that it's Bola. "This Bola again!" she thought offensively Sammy received the call after excusing himself from Mide. He and Bola talked for a while. Mide couldn't even place her finger on what they were talking about despite talking in English, it was just like they were speaking in parables. Finally they finished and Sammy said "OK dear, take care of yourself" "Dear! Again!" Mide lost all hope and buried her head in her arms. It was written visibly on her fa...
