Kemi was in Ibadan, she visited her sister who served in Ibadan. I called her and told her it would be nice to hangout- maybe go to the movies, she wasn't busy and so agreed. The call was on 24th of October. My hair was a bit rough that day, I needed a clean shave, the barbershop was just beside my church- Grace Family International Church where Sam, Demola and I play the musical instruments. Demola was our bassist, Sam was the pianist and I was the lead guitarist.
I fixed 10a:m with Kemi but I could get very bad with time, more like I wasn't time conscious. My barber got done with the hair around 10:30a:m. Kemi was already at the mall, she was actually ready to enter the cinema but I was able to hold her back with the normal Nigerian scope- "I'm almost there".
I even took some pictures at the barbershop to be sure I looked cool enough 😎.
I got to the movies and we were the only ones that saw the first movie. We laughed, played, joked and we had fun. We got done with the first movie around 11:30am, we still had time to spend together.
It was a Monday.We were at the Palm's mall and so we strolled into the Shoprite to get some snacks. Kemi got a plate of Cole's law. We saw the second movie too cos we had nothing else to do. We took pictures and enjoyed. I had to go to Abeokuta the following day, had some farm attendance to mark at colamrud.

I traveled with my cousin- Tolu on the 25th October but before I traveled, I went to the market at Ogunpa to collect a sneakers I got for myself. I got to Abeokuta in the evening, saw Idowu Akintola at camp and we had a bit of fun. By evening, I left for my hostel. I slept well without meeting Funbi and of course, she never knew I was in Abeokuta. I was so lost in Tina, I was distracted.

26th October, 2016.
I went to school with Tina and we were at the COLAMRUD department, the lecturers delayed us so much and when I got hungry, I went to the eatery with Tina and her friends. I decided to stroll to the SUB, it was then I saw Zamar, a friend of mine who said he was going to see the Funaab Idols auditions. I saw Sam too who was just rushing to the venue of auditions. I told Sam I couldn't wait long, Sam and Zamar spoke to a lady they wanted to backup for the Gig. I left them at the SUB building. Tina had plans to also travel that day to Lagos, I was also scheduled to travel with Sam to Ibadan. We had a rehearsal to attend in Ibadan. Sam was a pianist.
Tina told me she was going to school gate to make her hair, I walked with Teewhy, and Amos and we took pictures together in school. I was still there when I called Tosin and told her I was going to Ib. She said okay, gave me some attitude cos she was disappointed I didn't call her earlier or reach out to her. I left school to go home, already had plans with Sam to meet by evening to travel together. I got to my hostel and waited for Tina to get back, she finally returned with her hair made and had her bag packed to travel, I saw her off to the junction of my house and returned to my hostel to get ready to travel. I was all set for the travel, had a friend's acoustic with me, went to Tosin's place- ate plantain and garri, she followed me with her twin sister and we walked to the bus stop together. On our way, Sam told her to really work hard with her vocals and get better which she agreed and promised she would.
I took bike with Sam, got to camp and walked inside to drop the acoustic for Williams- my friend.
So we took the cab to Ibadan.
At least, that was all I could remember.
I opened my eyes and saw myself in the hospital, on the sick bed with plaster on my arms and scars on my face.
