Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 57
In kponkpon work, water is one vital thing, its
importance can’t be over-emphasized. So, how
fast
the work for that day would go is dependent on
how fast i supplied water.
The block industry was located very close to a
bus
stop. So i disguised myself by putting on
sunglasses and a face cap, so that whoever
sees
me wouldn’t recognise me.
So, with my sunglasses, face cap, and my
“elegant”
kponkpon attire, i started fetching the water.
Not
knowing what the nearest future holds.
I had finished fetching one drum. As i crossed
the
road and walked towards the block industry,
“Flow!
Flow!!” someone was calling me, it was a
female
voice.
I initially tot it was another Flow the person
was
calling and not my Flow, because no female
knew i
was doing kponkpon.
“Flow!! Flow!!” the voice continued. This time,
i was
convinced it was my Flow, so i turned.
Lo and behold, i saw Kate catwalking towards
me.
“so dis is where you work? u are a labourer?”
She
said as she came close. “ehnn, i am a Civil
Engineering student, and am doing my six
month IT
here” I almost said.
“ehnn, i am the Site Engineer of that site” I
found
the best lie. A lie i neatly said pointing to our
Site.
“ok, i came to see one of my male friend, he
owns
dis block industry” Kate said pointing at the
same
block industry i was fetching water from. “so
na
one of ur sugar daddy get dis block industry?” i
almost said.
Kate took her time and stood with me for a
while
asking me some irrevant questions about my
job as
the Site Engineer, i was simply answering her
questions with lies. Big, fat, award winning
lies.
From the corner of my left eye, i saw Brainbox
standing at the other side of the road. Maybe
he
wanted to buy something from the nearby
shop, so
i tot.
“Flow!! We dey wait for you na, water don
finish”
Brainbox yelled. Kate heard that, she turned
and
saw Brainbox. “Brainbox don kill me oh!” i tot.
I felt
like the ground should open up and swallow me.
How could a Site Engineer be fetching water
for
the site, How?
