Sorry for the week long silence. You see, when its close to the end of the month like it is now, we salespersons turn into android robots trying to meet up the monthly target.
'Tis crazy indeed.
So this weekend i made the biggest mistake any single person can ever make; I agreed to attend my friend's baby's one year old birthday party.
Before you go judging me, let me explain the situation and why I said it was such a fiasco.
You see, Chika* and I had been best friends all through school but when we graduated and started to find our paths in life, we had a big fight that ended in our seperation. That happened four years ago. Well last week, I was going through some old documents when I saw her old number scribbled on a magazine. I decided to dial the number and surprisingly, she was still using the same number.
The following day, I was eager to see her so we fixed a lunch date. During our date, I learnt that she had gotten married and had a baby. So she pleaded with me to attend her baby's first birthday party and i foolishly agreed.At this point, I was doing everything in my power to lash out at someone so I calmly sat down under the canopy, far away from any family. I was sitting peacefully when I felt a tug at my dress and when I turned around, it was a little girl calling me, "Mommy...Mommy". I was so close to blurting "Bitch! I ain't yo momma!!!" then I saw tears in her eyes, so i patiently carried her and petted her.
A few minutes later when I thought my troubles were over, I saw Chika*'s mom come out of the house to greet the guests. She came towards me and when Chika* tried to make her remember who I was, She said, "OOh! I remember!" Then she looked around as if she was looking for someone and said, "But, where's your husband now?"
My eyes were shooting missiles when I replied "Mummy, Please, I AM NOT MARRIED, I am single and apparently screwed for being around you people!"
