My Saturday: A Rest Day Interrupted by the Unexpected

in CCC2 days ago

Hello everyone in the CCC community!

Today was supposed to be a nice and restful Saturday for me. I was even planning to do my laundry, but I got too absorbed in other things and didn't get around to it.

My day took an unexpected turn this morning when I was sent out to get three paints of rice. I noticed a crowd gathered ahead, and soon realized an accident had happened again. It's not the first, second, or even the third time I've seen an accident happen in this spot.

This time, I think it was the bike rider's fault for suddenly slowing down when a tricycle was right behind him. I guess the tricycle should have given more space, but perhaps the driver was in a hurry. From what I could see, the tricycle's front bumper had collided with the bike. The impact distabilized the bike and sent the driver, a woman, and her daughters tumbling down to the roadside. Fortunately, there were no serious injuries, but I guessed the woman's ankle was sprained, and I saw people around her helping to massage it while her kids stood by her side.

Later in the afternoon, I passed by the same area again to buy some groundnuts( Only Nigerians will understand why I had to go back just for that!😂). The tricycle owner was looking for his keys, which he must have misplaced in all the commotion. However, my dad's tricycle mechanic was right there and got a new job, as I saw him pushing the tricycle to his workshop.

After the whole scene, I went back home to watch a movie. I was watching "Jade Dynasty," and while it's interesting, it can get boring when it's too long. You forget some of the details and soon get confused—at least I do!

Anyways, I hope you all had a great and blissful Saturday. Goodnight, guys!
