[Episode 16] My Days in Trixwin by Kelvin Ossai

This was the kind of situation that forced Davido to sing Gobe.

I was clueless. What will happen to me? Thank God Favour is out of this mess. I was still thinking when the dog-waist waiter brought me back to reality.

Waiter: sir please the money let me attend to other people.

Me: You said N12900 abi?

Waiter: yes sir.

Me: Nor dey cheat me dey call me sir. What and what did I buy? Or am I also paying for the 'sir' you are calling me?

Waiter: I'm sorry sir but I'm not cheating you. I can give you the breakdown of the bill if you wish.

Me: Give me. I wish.

He went inside. The bad side of my mind said I should run away. Then the good side asked, how do you intend to run through that gate? Just be humble and beg this guy.

Soon he came back with the list. My mind said I should tell him to hold it and beg him but the proud one said I should check it out that the guy might be trying to sell into his pocket. I collected the breakdown list from him and it reads;

WINE N3000 (for 2)

PEPPER SOUP N2400 (for 2 plates)

FRIED RICE N7500 (for 5)

TOTAL N9500.

I calculated it with my brain and it was correct. I refused to believe it. I brought out my phone and calculated it and it showed me N14900. I shocked. I calculated it again and it showed N12900. I suddenly developed goose bump. My head became heavy that I feared it will fall. I was still trying to use my brain when I heard the waiter shout.

Waiter: Oga give me money na, you dey waste my time o abi because I dey follow you dey speak English.

Me: See Bros abeg nor vex. The thing be say I lost my money for road and na only N3850 dey here now. I beg allow me make I go house go bring money for you. 

Waiter: See this boy oh! So na una be those people wey dey eat dey run for here abi? I don catch you today.

Me: (So people dey chop dey run? Why I nor run na)  ehm, today na my first time for here oh, I nor know say na so una dey sell am oh, abeg nor vex.

Waiter: Why you nor ask me? Shey I've been want tell you the price and you bone me con dey order food anyhow because you see girl.

Me: (Abeg nor insult my girl o. I go break your head for here, forget say I dey owe you) I beg na. Nor vex.

Waiter: So who go pay the money? Me?

Me: No. I go go house go bring am.

Waiter: wayo. E nor go work. 

We were still arguing when a man who maybe has been watching came to meet us.

Man: Elvis what is it?

It was then I knew that the waiter's name was Elvis(name withheld though)

Elvis: Oga he chop he nor won pay o.

Man: (Dialed a number in his phone) come to Bush bar with 3 boys.

Soon 3 guys with security uniform came and bundled me. The man was actually the Chief Security Officer (CSO) I guess.

I was first given a hot slap on my face and all I could see was my village market. I was seeing many things but couldn't tell what they were. When I regained my sense, I was already in a room sitting on the ground.

CSO: Shey na una dey come here come eat dey run away abi?

Me: (Crying) sir this is my first time of coming here and I didn't know the prices were like that o.

CSO: Didn't Elvis give you the hotel food list which also contains prices?

Me: No, he didn't.

Elvis: Hey! Stop am there. Oga I was bringing it and he waved it off. I thought he was even a regular customer who knew the price of things.

CSO: Look small boy. You think you can use our brain abi? You must pay hard for this. How much do you say you have?

Me: N3850.

CSO: Bring it.

I gave it to him and he gave it to Elvis. He told Elvis to leave as he will talk to him later.

CSO: What is your occupation?

Me: I'm a student.

CSO: And how do you intend to get our balance?

Me: I will get it from my friends( goat, I should have said I have it at home)

CSO: so you don't even have the money at home.

Me: Ehm I do.

CSO: You are stupid. Just wait for me, I'm coming.

He left and locked me in the room. I searched my pocket and I couldn't find my phone. I started crying. Then I realized crying is not a solution so I kept quiet, restored my boldness and got ready to face whatever that was coming my way.
