Bobs: Do you remember the first day we met?
Męnz: Oh yeah! How can I forget that day. I remember you wore those 1867 trousers... lol. I would've laughed but my parents were with me so I didn't.
Bobs: I miss the room we used to live in. By the way those trousers were designers.
Męnz: Yh, it was very small. At least this one is spacious. We even have a bathroom here. Why do you wanna go back? Trousers... lol.
Bobs: No... Not at all. I prefer here to there. What food would we cook on the afternoon?
Męnz: Jollof or?
Bobs: The last time I ate that was two years ago. Well... Let's list down the ingredients.
Męnz: Onion, tomato paste, vegetables, vegetable oil, rice, maggi.... Should we buy water?
Bobs: Naa, we can use the tap water.
Męnz: Is it even purified? I guess not.
Bobs: Heh, it's safe to drink. If that's all the ingredients I guess we can go to the market now.
Męnz: Ok. Just lemme wear shoe or something.
(Hours and hours of shopping till they meet the rice seller)
Męnz: Please good afternoon. Please we want rice, the medium pack.
Market woman: Gh¢45.00
Bobs: Oh, please can you reduce the price?
Market woman: Why? Doesn't your money reach?
Bobs: We have GH¢45 left with us and we'd use GH¢40 for transportation.
Market woman: okay. Give me Gh¢40, I'd take it like that.
Męnz and Bobs: Please thank you!
Bobs: Let's hurry and go! I'm starving.
( They later board trotro)
Męnz: The car is hot. Try opening the windows a little more. I need air here.
Bobs: Were almost there. Hold your horses!
Męnz: We'd keep long in this traffic.
Passenger: Driver put on the air conditioner! Here's too hot.
Driver: Madam please it spoilt oh. Unless you open the windows.
Męnz: You see... I'm not the only one complaining.
Bobs: Ayoo!! Driver please we'd like to alight here.
Driver: Oh, is it because the car is hot?
Bobs: Oh naa, we've reached the school junction.
( Bobs and Męnz get down the car with the food stuffs and continue the journey to their room on foot)
Bobs: Oh shoot! It's late already. I'm not sure we can prepare the meal.
Męnz: Let's just go. I'd buy something for us to eat. We can prepare the Jollof tomorrow.
Bobs: What food? Is it Gobɛ?
Męnz: Yh, Gobɛ. Take it or leave it!
Bobs: I'd take it like that. Time went fast today. Only God knows why.
Męnz: Time has always gone fast. Just that you've not noticed it. So what about the girl you said you'd talk to, how did it go?
Bobs: I didn't get time. Don't you remember we spent the entire afternoon at the market?
Męnz: That's no excuse. There's still more time before the next day.
Bobs: I'd rather use that time to eat and relax. There's no time to waste bruv.
Męnz: No time to waste indeed. It's just a friendly talk. Don't tell me you're shy of girls... lol.
Bobs: So now you know! I'd still talk to her. It's just not the right time for that.
