It All Started With A DM....

Chapter 38❄

Tife didn't look like he was involved in an accident apart from the bandage that was replaced daily with clean ones . He acted like he wasn't really affected by it at all.
He told us how he and his friends sneaked out of school during closing hours to get 'suya' from the 'mallam' that just started selling far from the school road.

After they got what they wanted, his friends went home and he had to return back to school to wait for the driver.
Trying to cross the road, a car hit him and that was all, he passed out.

He later woke up in the hospital and there was this man who was beside him, he asked if he knew our mom's or dad's number and he was able to give him our mom's number. The man called and that was how my mom got informed about the accident.

My mom was angry as expected. Tife was strongly warned against leaving school after closing hours, he had to wait for the driver to come pick him up.
Again, as expected, my mom called the school management and condemned their lack of proper security of students.

"we need to invite this man over to thank him properly " my suggested.

" mumcy, there's no need for that, you already called him to thank him " Dotun protested.

" he was kind enough to pay for your brother's hospital bills, remember? "

" ehhn na, you can ask him to send his account number then transfer the money to him " Dotun still pressed on but my mom wouldn't hear of it.

She managed to find the number since it was the same person who had called her to tell her Tife was in the hospital.

Mom asked him to come over to our house by weekend for lunch.

I could hear Dotun grumbling to himself about how Americans act foolish

" Benita dear, text him our house address, he'll be here this weekend " my mom said with a tone that says 'you dare not argue with me again'.

****************

Jubril came to inform us there was this man at the gate.

" that should be our good Samaritan, let him in " my mom said.

I walked into the kitchen to grab a glass of water.
I hungrily asked " Hey Mercy, what's for lunch? "

"the food is for the guest " she laughed.

Walking back to the kitchen, I could hear my mom with her friendly tone greeting our guest.

"Benita, Benita.... Come, say hi to Mr Timileyin "my mom called out.

His back.. His broad shoulders!
His name...

Excuse me!

He turned to look at me, he didn't have the shocked expression I had, rather he was smiling hard and was waiting for me to 'say hi to him'.

My brain was dancing.. What was he doing in our house?

Oh yess! he's my brother's 'good Samaritan'!

The good Samaritan happened to be Timi and I know Timi... What sort of magical co incident is this?

"Benita, did you hear me? " my mom snapped.
The glass in my hand fell to the floor, I jumped back and Mercy on hearing the crash quickly came over.

" I'll clean it " she said.

" Benny, are you okay, come over here " my mom said panicking.

" Kids these days are always clumsy she'll be fine " Timi assured my mom.
