[Episode 20] My Day in Trixwin -By Kelvin Ossai
About 6:48am, a hand tapped me. I woke up and realised I was still in the hotel. Nawa oh!
I looked at the guy that woke me like 'wetin I go do for you now'. Oga say make I wake you was what I heard.
I looked at him and hissed in frustration. I put on my trouser and shirt and matched outside like Paul Pogba (unfortunate boy wey dey cause penalty).
I went straight to where I saw Victoria bring out tooth paste the other day and collected it. I brushed my mouth, took my bath and I was back to my old clothes.
Which kind dirty life I dey live for here self? Nawa oh!
I was roaming around the hotel premises when I heard my name being shouted like Jose Mourinho shouting for his players when they are 1 goal down. I turned and it was the Admin officer. I don enter trouble again abi? I walked to his direction with a lot of things running through my mind. I got to where he is and he begun.
Admin: Where are you going to?
Me: No where. I was just looking around.
Admin: Don't you have work to do?
Me: Eh I.... I....
Admin: (Cuts in) Take this and change your clothes. (he gave me a black nylon).
I opened it and it was their yellow coloured T shirt and one black plain trouser.
Me: Thank you sir.
I left him. I have actually been looking for how to change these things on me.
I wore it and it was a bit bigger than me but do I have option? I went back to the kitchen. They gave me food. I resumed work. If not for the lectures I'm missing and the lack of freedom, this is not a punishment self. See free food and accommodation. Just say them nor go pay me.
I worked till evening when a drama displayed. I went to make sure a table where some guys just left was clean only to find a First Bank ATM card on it. Eh? See o. Who be this mumu wey forget im card? Since here na big boys lounge, money wey this card go dey control nor be here oh!
All these were running through my mind but I over looked everything and slotted the card into my pocket.
Back to work.
I was already relaxing when the Admin officer came to the bar. He announced that everyone should come and take a sit. They did and I just sat on my own in a different angle. Then he started.
Admin: I know you guys have been wonderful. I don't want to beat around the bush so let me go straight to the point. I hope this would be resolved easily so that everyone would go back to work. In essence, what I'm trying to say is that somebody forgot his ATM card here. He called me and I promised him to get it for him. You know all these small boys, because they have money they would be making calls. On a normal note, he is supposed to come and look for it himself but now that the mantle is on me, please don't disappoint me. If you saw the card, kindly give it to Me.
I sat in my corner looking at how confused they were. If only they knew that I am with it and I won't bring it out, they would stop their nonsense surprise look and get back to work.
I don't want to give it to them not because I want the money inside. ofcourse, I don't know the password but I want the Admin to suffer.
He continued preaching to them and at a point, he started begging them.
The guy refused to believe that none of them saw it. The issue was now becoming boring to me so I walked towards their direction and stood by one of guys side.
The man saw me but refused to agree that I saw it so he didn't bothered repeating what he has said before.
I stood there watching and the man continued blabbing.
Admin: Please you people should be kind for once na? If you saw it, just bring it, what will you do with it?
Me: (To the guy, I was standing by his side) Wetin them dey find?
Guy: Na ATM card oh!
Me: Ah? Which bank?
Guy: I nor even know. Ask Admin na.
Me: Sir, which bank?
Admin: I don't know. Did you see anyone?
Me: Yes. I saw it when I came to clean here.
Admin: (he smiled and collected it.)
I was confused. Why should he be that happy when maybe, no one will have access to the money or is it that he wants to prove to people that he has reliable workers? I hope I'm not among because I will certainly disappoint you.
I have been busy all these while. As from tomorrow, the story would be back to it's best.
Who is missing Henry and James?
