I remember telling one particular guy two years ago that until I am married, I have no plans of leaving my mother’s house. Is that statement still valid today? Oh, yes! In fact, it’s even updated now. Even after I get married I’ll still be going for weekends at my mother’s house. You might be asking what about my husband? He can just follow me. My sister and her friend planned to go hunting for an apartment today. Unfortunately, my sister had work emergency and had to leave so I had to go with her friend rather.
I was actually excited about the whole idea because I actually like apartment hunting minus the walking but you can’t actually take the walking out of the equation, can we? The plan was to dine out after the hunting. Wait, Don’t tell me you believed when I said apartment hunting makes me happy….it’s the whole dining out idea that got me excited rather, of course, we are talking about food. We left home and then got to the area. We called the agent for about 30 minutes but he wasn’t answering so we decided to go hunting ourselves.
After walking for about 15 minutes, we met someone who agreed to go around the vicinity with us. We got to a place, everything was really nice and we were so happy only to ask for the price and find out the price for a month. Before I tell you the price just shout “eiiii”. The price was 600hbd a month. I told you to shout eiii first. I know right. 600hbd a month? How much is her salary.
We later got the agent and then the hunting itself started. I don’t want to go into details but then it was really hectic. I’ve never experienced anything like this before. You get a nice environment and the apartment is funny, you get a nice apartment and the environment is really discouraging. There was this place that the apartment was really modern but the environment? Stop stop? Filled with smoke because there were two kenkey sellers that had set up their kitchen on the compound of the house, cooking their kenkey.
Ah what is this again? My sister’s friend said for that house, if she is to move there she’ll just be sending us kenkey delivery everyday,haha. After everything we paid the agent his walking fee and ordered a ride back home. It was on our back in the uber that I even got to know that even when you get the apartment, you have to give the agent 10% of the apartment fee. Ehhhh??? That’s what you all are doing here?
On a more serious note, with all this stress and you are telling me to move out of my mother’s house? For what exactly? Please no, I’m not going to move today nor tomorrow. I’ll just be here until I’m ready to move into my own house or that of my husband’s.
