After church service today, around 4pm precisely I received a phone called from my Uncle asking me to meet him at his place of work, that's Gaji Lodge within 10 minutes. I was discussing with my friends then when I received the called from my Uncle. Quickly I told my friends I needed to go somewhere very urgent I will be back perhaps in an hour time and I left them and head straight up to Gaji Lodge to meet my Uncle. While I was going different thoughts came to my mind that what could be the reason why my uncle is asking me to meet him at his place of work today and he didn't even told me the reason on the phonecall. Then I concluded perhaps he want to give me money because obviously month has ended and a new month has just started. I thought it is money my uncle will give me. When I got to the gate I called him and he directed me to where he was sitting and I met him.
We greeted and exchanged pleasantries then I asked him why he asked me to come over to meet him in a rush without telling me on the phone call, I hope everything is going fine? He looked at me and smiled and said nothing is wrong that he wanted me to come over and have some drinks and eat meat pie for free because he will soon go back home for a meeting and he will close late in the meeting so he can't carried all those things to where I am staying or ask me to meet him at home knowing he will not be at home on time. I smiled back at him and thank him for the care and love. Within me I felt loved and excited that I will eat meat pie and have some drinks without paying anything for it, like for free in this Sunday evening. I said to myself indeed our God is a miracle worker.
Few minutes later, he called one of the worker to bring me fearless drink and the worker brought it. I started drinking then he asked me if I needed another drink again I said yes I need exotic drink. I like drinking exotic drink so much just that I don't drink it more often like in those days because of how the drinks is cost these days.
I remembered back then when exotic drink was sold at (800) eight hundred naira, I used to buy it almost every week or in a month I will drink one or two exotic drinks.
But when things becomes so expensive is being awhile I drank exotic drink because is now sold at (1,700) one thousand seven hundred naira. While drinking the drinks my uncle was called into one of the office that needs his attention and he left me and went to attend to them. That's how I snapped myself inside and everything you are seeing here.
I really had fun today and all thinks to my uncle who ask me to meet him today and got me all this things for free. The hostel is very beautiful both in and outside. The place we sat has beautiful rough carpet, have beautiful tables and a big refrigerator with different kinds of drinks inside. The chairs are so amazing and beautiful to behold, looking at the designs, colors and how they arranged the place is so beautiful.
My uncle came back from the office he went to attend to them and asked me did I want to eat rice or noodles or swallow . I hastily told him Uncle I want to eat fried rice, he laughed and said rice is almost everyone favourite food nowadays. He called the same worker that brought drinks for me earlier and asked her to bring me a takeaway of fried send chicken meat and he added that she should add fried plantain inside too. In my thought I was like today is a good day for me to enjoy all this food and drinks for free, I wish what's happening now with me should happens everyday but am grateful for today miracle.
The fried rice was brought and I eat part of it. And told my uncle I won't be able to finish this rice here, I will package and take it home when am feeling hungry later in the evening I will eat it. He said that's fine and said he will be going for his meeting too in a few minutes times. I package the rice and of course I took my exotic drink because I didn't finish it.
On our way out I met the manager of the hostel close to the gate and I greeted him and he gave me a handshake. The manager asked me how's my parents and siblings are doing at home and I responded everyone is doing fine sir, thank you for asking. The manager told my uncle to stop and asked me to follow him and I followed him to the bar place. The manager then order coconut yoghurt and gave it to me and said this is your happy Sunday, go home and drink it . I was so excited and thank him for the Sunday gift of the coconut yoghurt and went back to my uncle and shown him the manager gave me.
I package everything inside leather and went home. Honestly, today is one of my luckiest day of my month since January to this day.
Today is like a miracle day for me because everything I had today, the food, drinks and the coconut yoghurt was given to me for free . I really enjoyed this hangout with my uncle.
