[Episode 21] My Days in Trixwin -By Kelvin Ossai
I've seen you guys like my friends more than me. See eh, if I find any of them especially Favour, na una I go hold oh!
#welcomeBack
It was morning already. Like play like play it's Wednesday. But why can't these people just give me my phone. Who even knows if it's still on.
I strolled out with my over sized outfit. I had my morning rituals- brushing and bathing.
I was getting used to life in prison. Yes, you can call it prison, you are equally correct.
This time around, I was in my right mindset. I have accepted my fate but was missing my guys and the only issue I had was my lectures. Have Favour even been here and nobody told me? Has she been looking for me with James? Do my parents know I have not been in school for days?
So many questions nobody can answer.
The truth is that I told Favour I was going to my friend's place from here so she coming to look for me here means she's stupid so I'm not expecting her here.
James and Henry are not even sure I came here so their coming here to look for me is seemingly foolish.
The thing is that there are weeks I do travel without telling anybody but that only happens in times of Emergency.
The strange thing this time around is that no one can reach me through my phone and they can't reach my family either. Ofcourse they have never had a reason to call them as my number is always on and I have never had a case that requires anybody calling my parents to come and deliver me, save this one and funny enough, my kidnappers don't need my parent.
I decided to ask for my phone and find out things myself. I pray they give it to me. I know people will bail me once I call them.
I resumed work hoping to see CSO or Admin pass by.
It was already noon when I saw the Admin officer passing by.
I gathered courage and cooked myself for anything that comes from what I was about to do.
I was walking towards the also walking Admin officer when he noticed I was coming for him and stopped waiting for me to talk.
Me: Good afternoon sir.
Admin: What's the problem?
Me: Sir I've been here for days now and I know I might have been declared missing or dead out there.
Admin: (Changed his face like that's true sha but you nor dey go anywhere)
Me: Sir, I'm pleading if I can at mercy have access to my phone. My family should at least know I'm ok.
Admin: I can see you're not poor at spoken English. Keep it up but sorry, I'm not with your phone. Meet the CSO. If he feels like giving it to you, no problem.
Me: Alright, thank you sir.
I left him waiting hopefully for the CSO to pass too. At least the Admin officer have known I'm not a tout, maybe because I gave him the ATM card. That one na im problem sha but though, It's a plus to me.
My wait for the CSO was in progress as I was also performing my functions at the executive bar well. The work of a cleaner. Nawa o. The funny thing is that my mind has refused to tell me that all these are happening because of Favour.
It was about 5:33pm when the bush bar's DJ Marlex started his beats. (Remember I told you the executive bar is close to the bush bar). I was free then so I sat close outside the executive bar to see the open sky so as to remind myself I'm not in prison and most especially to see the CSO pass by.
I was also paying much attention to the activities going on in the bush bar. It was actually someone's birthday. I knew the MC from his rough voice. MC Likippo. Mass Comm student, HND. His voice was actually what called my attention. I was enjoying everything until about 6:27pm when what I saw next was a blink in the bush bar's environment. The power there has went off. As in Generator don take light for bush bar and meanwhile, other parts of the hotel get light.
Which kind witch be this na?
I walked inside to see I actually have things to put in place. Yes, I was working with all my heart. I am a human that believes in
'ANYTHING WORTH DOING, WORTHS DOING WELL'.
I was arranging things when the Admin walked in worried.
He started complaining out of frustration.
Admin: which kind thing be this na? Just look at the nonsense. Since wey the Electrician (an electrical engineer actually. I worked with him during my IT) dey around, this thing nor happen. Na today wey he go outside work for Abuja na im problem go dey. Who I go call for this kind time now. CSO wey know people don go where I nor even know since morning. Which kind disappointment be this?
I was listening keenly. I felt pity for him. This man actually have the hotel at his heart. What will he do now? Abi make I help them? A polytechnic engineering student, I should have somethin to offer. These wicked people? Mbanu. I nor gree.
This is the longest episode I have written so far.
