Checking through the files on my laptop, I stumbled on things i wrote in the year 2006 while in my third year at the university. This time I was on break, at home. its not in a good shape as I would write now but I think I'd leave it and tinker later on it, expressing it better in the memoir I'm writing.
The day that started with the fun i never dreamt of and ended with the pain i never bargained for.
Today, I went out followed my Dad and the driver to repair the brake pads for his mazda and then went with the driver for some driving lessons. he was suprised to find out I knew how to drive and just needed to get confident on the road(Thanks to lessons my dad always gave during the breaks-I had to press him to do this)). After the lesson, I rushed down to Shoprite to meet Tunji, Ayo and Eyi for some shopping, we bought all we wanted to buy there and window-shopped all we wanted to window-shop. Obviously, we saw friends, movie and music stars we laid our eyes on.
I wanted an arsenal jersey that was at Novenain Victoria Island. We went there but somehow the woman at the shop managed to hype the price compared to the normal price she used to sell it, I declined and opted for another. After this we entered the galleria at silverbird cinemas, chilled at barcelos, ate, drank and we found out it was getting a bit late,then we decided to return home. I talked more on my project at hand concerning the beautification of the compound with my project partner. call my friends i met today just wanting to hear their voices once again.
Then the shock of the day----never in my life have i ever thought my parents had problems and that it wasn't a small one. it wasn't a physical thing. it didn't even involve the two of them but my dad was just talking to me and my sisters, wow!, i guess i've not stayed at home for a while now. His point was good but the fact that he said he could do something we will not like really got me, what else was i to think of apart from a divorce. how will I cope with me?, will I ever be the same? at that moment my mind was just on. could the world come to an end in a few minutes and i'll be the happiest man dead. oh no, it did not happen cos i had the opportunity to type this.
My parents are fine and together. I laughed as I read through.
