Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 56
Just at the nick of time, a hand grabbed my
right
hand. It was the hand of Brainbox, or rather
the
hand of God.
I was saved by the bell.
“Man, today work go make sense oh” Brainbox
said
after we left Mama Calabar canteen the next
morning. “ehn e go make sense na, today one
of
una go serve mason, na me go be the mason”
Man
informed. “wetin the other person go com dey
do?”
I inquired curiously.
“when we reach site you go know wetin the
other
person go dey do” Man said, “but wetin i know
be
say na today we dey start body work, and i go
choose one of una wey go serve me” Man
added.
“ehnn today we are starting the body work”
Madam
Ifeoma said as we sat to listen to her
instructions,
“since u are five in number, it will be two
masons
and also two labourers that would serve the
masons” Madam Ifeoma said. “and the person
left
will be in charge of fetching water from that
block
industry over there” She said pointing to the
block
industry across the road. “because the water
in our
tank has finished and our water supplier said
their
supply vehicle is under repairs that they will
not
come to supply today but tomorrow” She added.
“so you will have to decide who amongst you will
do the fetching, the person will be paid
100naira
per drum of water” Madam Ifeoma said.
“Flow will do that ma” Man decided and
whatever
he decided was final, since he was the Chief
Kponkpon officer.
I wasn’t happy with his decision, but what was
i to
do? the “boss” has made the selection. And like
they say; “the boss is always right”.
I took two 25litres containers and headed
straight
to the block industry.
