My story pt 2
There I found the bike, but he wasn't there, I was worried, I moved closer to the scene to try if I could find him...
He was in the crowd, squeezed among them like sardines in a tin
I called him, he didn't even hear me, I shouted again, he didn't hear, instead he was enjoying the hostile and violent environment
The rain was calming down, now I was more concerned about home,my job was waiting for me the next day
I was getting annoyed at the situation, I moved in to the crowd and squeezed myself among them, trying to get to Mr Akpan
As soon as I could get close to him, I pulled him by his collar angrily until we got out of the crowd
He was complianing
"Ahh, wetin happen na, why you con hold me like that, I be thief? "
I replied, staring hard at him;
Mr Akpan, cant you see its late, we're late na and you're here shouting and wailing, I hope you know your wife and children are at home?
It was then he came to his right senses, he grumbled a few words and headed to where he had halted his bike
I looked at him pitifuly, he stood beside his bike, trying to find the keys to start the engine, he was running his hands across his pockets, looking worried
I was impatient, I spoke with a bit of anger;
"What is it again, Mr Akpan"?
"I no sabi where... where I put the key", he said while still running his fingers across his body
I tried to reach for my phone in my suitcase so I can use the flashlight, but the phone was dead... I was pissed off
Mr Akpan started heading back to the place I dragged him off recently; searching for his keys
I glanced at my wristwatch, 11:55pm, I hissed with regret and anger
While trying to calm down, I joined my Akpan in searching for the keys
After about 10 mins of searching, none of us saw the key, it was getting late
It was 12:15am....
I called Mr Akpan to retreat ,telling him to let us go home while pushing the motorcycle along with us
But as soon as we tried to push it along with us... Guess what?
The key we searched heaven and earth for was on the fuel tank of the motorcycle... I opened my mouth agape in wonder, and fixed my gaze at Mr Akpan.
He shrugged and said: "I no sabi say I drop am there, no vex"
I wasn't in for any foolish talk,I didn't even respond
He mounted the bike and kicked the engine to life, I climbed and we went down the road
The road blockage was clear, the rain has reduced drastically, but now the cold was more than the rain itself
We have moved an amount of distance until we were passing a rough road, and suddenly we heard a loud sound....
