It was a good day

I usually set my alarm for 6am and I hardly get up till 6:30 and I inevitably get stuck in traffic and everyone knows how the Island situation goes. But on this certain day, at the stroke of 6, I got right up like Barbie on steroids, I said my prayers, had a shower, took my multivitamins and juice, yup I am a health nut like that, nothing was out of place. I only had to check my self in the mirror once, I was looking perfectly hot in a cream suit, killer DKNY heels and a Chanel bag, this day could NOT go wrong, I grabbed my car keys and headed down to the parking lot.

It was just 6:45, I was feeling so high like I had done the four C’s that morning! pu pu, the sound of my car opening as I approached the Toyota Camry aka The eye, being a bank manager was no easy task but it certainly had its perks.

I have to drive everyday from Royal Garden Estate at Yaba to Victoria Island; I really should move I had told myself several times. As I got on Third Mainland Bridge, there was no sign of a build up of traffic until I got to Ikoyi, wow this day was definitely something fairy tales were made of, I had thought and I could hear Angels in heaven singing!

Stepping out of my car, parked in the reserved parking lot of the bank, I could already feel the stares. Walking through the reception, as the staff scrambled to welcome me. This weave is really something I said flipping my hair to answer a call that had just come in. I got to my door, marked Ms Romola, and opened it as the cleaning lady was finishing her bit. Thank you I muttered and shut the door behind me. The call that had come in was news that my brother had been discharged. This day was already so great and it wasn’t even 8 am yet! God I thank you.

EVERYTHING was going so well, everyone was smiling at me, at a point I had to go check if anything wrong with me in the bathroom. I was enjoying myself seriously until. . . Yeas there is always that point, but yeah, nothing happened. My day was perfectly alright except for one teeny weenie problem, I went back to my empty house and that was it for the day, so I thought. A good day it was….. my last thoughts as I sunk to my knees, the world spinning, my weave now raven tinged with crimson.
