I Feel Cheated

Menhh, this thing is paining me.

So, before bed last night, I set my Saturday alarm for 5.30am. I had eaten a mountain (just exaggerating) of Pancakes. It was my first-time making Pancakes and it came out great; thanks to the many Youtube videos.

It’s like Youtube is now my next favourite after Google!

Back to what is paining me. Despite sleeping quite late, I found the courage to open my eyes. I got off the bed, said my prayers, got into my workout clothes, checked the weather forecast, adjusted my headphones, and line up of songs – perfect!

At 6:15am, I was ready to step out. I was feeling pumped. Plus, I had not jogged since Wednesday. No thanks to rain and our flooded roads.

I stepped out in the compound, listening to my jam, the breeze was cool; just the way I love it. But something felt wrong, ‘what was that splash?’

I looked up and around. Now I could see tiny spots on the ground.

Yeepa! It’s drizzling.

I thought, maybe it’s just doing ‘shakara’ – you know those types of rain that will just threaten. So, I kept walking and it felt like it heard my thoughts, that’s how it started increasing tempo.

I sighed and went back inside. I checked it again. Waited for a couple of minutes to see if it would just start raining. I took a shower cap, got out the second time.

This thing meant business. The cloud started looking greyish. I looked at my newly braided hair; I no fit. So, I went back inside and decided to get some more sleep instead.

Twenty minutes later, nothing happened. Now, it’s more than one hour. I could have gone and returned, you know.  

I feel so cheated, chai!
