Unforgettable Friends

I’m sure at a certain point in our lives, some people have passed through our lives, even if you aren’t together now, you will never forget them because of the huge impact they have played in your life.

The story you are about to read now is about two of my unforgettable friends, Daniel, and prhaiz.

There are two superhumans in my life that I can never forget, Daniel is the smart one, while prhaiz makes the boring and unthinkable jokes, but without him in our life back then, I wouldn’t have enjoyed 2019.

I remember when I just finished my national diploma, in 2018 and I was to start my industrial Training (IT), Industrial training is special training for students to have experience with the labor market and gain experience based on their course of study. Then I had no place to work, but luckily for me, a friend called and asked if I would like to do my training at a company where she works, immediately I took the opportunity, I wrote the application letter and did the normal interview, I had to go through six people during the interview, most of the questions asked are the same but asked in different ways, I passed and I started working at the company December 2018.

At first, when I started working there, I do board the public bus, unknown to me that the company has a staff bus, the first week, I spent a lot of money just to transport myself every day, I stayed in Ikorodu and I work at Ikeja, people that are familiar with this place would know how far the journey can be, the following week I decided to join the staff bus, the staff bus have a rule, you have to be at the bus stop at exact 5 am because the staff bus would move by 5.20 am, getting to the bus stop was one of my main problems, that beautiful morning, the first time of me on the staff bus.

I met two dudes that didn’t know each other, one whose name was Daniel was trying to check something on this phone, probably dollar price to current country currency while the other guy was looking for where to sit, cause he got to the bus stop late, and darn, prhaiz is always late to the bus stop, the bus sometimes have to wait extra time for prhaiz to catch up. We weren’t that close then, but I could tell that Daniel was smarter than prhaiz.

There was a certain day, it rained so heavily, and the staff bus couldn’t take us home, it dropped us at a location that’s very far from home cause of the traffic, sometimes Daniel's dad do come to pick us up at that location if the staff bus refuses to take us home, Daniel called his dad to see if he was gonna come pick us up, but he said he was still far from our location so the three us decided to take the BRT (the BRT is a public transport, more like a big bus that carries a lot of people) to our final destination, the plan was for I and Daniel to stay on the line while prhaiz get the ticket so we can secure a spot at the front before the bus arrives after 10min prhaiz is yet to come with the ticket, so I decided to go check on him, to my surprise, prhaiz was still struggling with people on the line, though he is a short man, so I understand, I just collected the money, used my height and I got us a ticket.

I've had a lot of experience with these people, an experience I can never trade for anything, I love them and I hope we meet someday again. They are people I will never forget.
