Sweet smile

Had to quickly rush back to the bus stop cos I had mistakenly forgotten my other bag I brought along with me and the bag contained my laptop and several documents that I needed to close the deal with my clients broker.

What a wrong time for the rains to decide to pour, although I'm with an umbrella right now, things do not seem to be getting better but far worse because the bag is nowhere to be found.

God! My village people have finally located me. How do I explain this, what would I even say, where would I start from. First I had entered a bus when I was given the money to board a plane. Now see what trying to be economical has landed me. I'm finished!

The bus pack looked deserted already as it was already late. "Where am I going to start telling this story from" lamented Jude. Suddenly, he remembered that he had tried to upload the files to his Google account. "Ha! I just remembered that my data got exhausted while at it. What do I do now?"

After a fruitless search, Jude headed back to his apartment and on getting there he started to check his pocket frantically for his keys but sadly they were gone. Now he was more than convinced that his enemies had come to take his life.

Once again, he headed back through the stairs outside to begin his second search. This time for his keys!

Unlike earlier when he had some level of agility, now he was more than battered, I guess he had qualified for the addition of bruised.

He soon became tired of trailing the path he took before looking for the keys that he sat down in front of a closed shop. It was already dark but jude had more pressing issues than the darkness around him. Being a confirmed Nigerian, he told himself that with all he'd been through, he was ready to face any Goliath by himself.

A few mins after Jude sat to rest, he heard someone screaming. Initially he could not make out what was said nor who was screaming. As he walked a little closer in the direction of the sound, he heard gunshots. By this time, Jude who was ready to face any Goliath was already panting and sweating cos he had taken off with the speed of light in the opposite direction.

Jude was now thanking God for saving him, the gunshots and his 100m race took his mind off what he had lost for awhile as he made his way home slowly to embrace his fate.

One look at Jude and one could tell he was frustrated and had no solution whatsoever. Just as he was about to step into the entrance to the staircase, he bumped into a lady because he was absent minded.

"Watch where you're going" the lady said to him. "You could have really injured yourself and me".

Before Jude could say a word, he spotted his keys in her hands and started to accuse her of being the one sent by his gods to destroy him.

Instead of getting offended, she simply smiled at Jude and told him about how she saw it lying on the floor along the lobby and she just picked it and was going to hand it over to security.

It would interest you to know that in all of this, jude was simply captivated by the sweet smile.
