Random act of kindness

Image source TGIF!!! Hurriedly i cleared my desk, reported to my director, made sure every other persons were done with their daily task. A beep from my phone reminded me of the scheduled stroll i'm to have with Funke, wow... i have been looking forward to this.

The last time we had a stroll was two weeks ago but the consistent drizzle made us a bit uncomfortable, we had no choice but to take a cab to her house. though she lived alone but the aura was homely, the egusi meal we prepared together was heavenly. We had lot to talk about, from the break to work, to relationship, to religion. She always had something to say about any topic . Her apartment was richly furnished and smelled very nice.

She has great taste of music, we played songs from Enya, Mozart, Yanni and Don Williams. She often made us dance to every tune until it was late, i dreaded the very thought of leaving her to return home but i had to go.

.....Picking up my phone, her beautiful voice flooded my office. Hello Sunshine... Hey Prince, how you doing... Ife mi I'm doing greatly, my desk is cleared and i'm good to go... Okay then, i would drive by your office to pick you, i drove to the office today but you would be the one driving today, hope you're good with that? Sure Hun, lets do this.

The evening breeze was calm in a very different manner, this isn't my first time strolling in the beach at this time but this time seems very different especially whenever we shared a joke, we walked past different vendors and we decided to find a quite place to seat and listen to the winds romance each other.

Suddenly we heard sobs from a corner not very exposed to the vendors light, we ignored it at first but it continued and we had no choice but to go check it out. It was a young boy of about 12yrs of age crying over a woman, we later figured her to be his Mum. We were very skeptical at first but i summed up courage to get close and inquire what was wrong with her.

She wan born but she no get power to push the pikin, ( She is about to put to birth but she isn't strong enough to push the baby out) Who she be and where her husband dey i asked? ( Who is she and where is her husband) at this point Funke snapped saying Baby stop this questioning lets take her to the hospital, i totally forgot i was with her until this point, i agreed we needed to take her to the hospital but we needed someone to come with us for proper documentation and also to attend to her.

Finally the baby was out and she thanked me and Funke for taking care of the bills and also for coming to her rescue at the right time, in payment for our random act of kindness she opted to make us the God parents of the child but i smiled and told her we aren't married, she looked at us with a questioning look and .....

Watch out for part 2....
