Rain! Rain! Go away

Today was a really long day and as usual, I couldn't wait to leave work to go home to my bed. Excited that it was just a couple of minutes to 5 which is supposed to be my closing time, I started getting ready to leave. Just before I shut down my computer, my boss comes in and says "it would soon rain. You can't leave now". For those of you that know me personally, you know that I can be quite stubborn so I reply him "Sir, I'll leave before it begins to rain. I'm going home by 5. Come rain, come rain. I say that part in my head.
Gbugburugburu Gbugburugburu. Ehn? Thunder? Next thing, it begins to pour heavily. I hear the security door open and as turn to see who it is, it's my boss. He's laughing at me and has his tongue sticking out like "I told you"!
Ugh.
I just want to go home.
I pray silently that God should send me a helper. Luckily, the visitor in the office at this point is heading my way and you can tell I got really excited when I learnt about this.
Fast forward to when I got to where I'm supposed to board a cab. That's how these great people of God call the price at "#400". Ehn for what? Something that is normally #50. You guys are a joke! 😑😒
I bring out my phone to do what I dunno. I think I thought of calling Uber then I remembered I'm broke.
Suddenly I feel someone touch my arm "Papa's sister". Okay..who are you? I'm Clef. Don't you remember me. I'm Papa's friend. Fake smile. Oh Hi. Shivers. Lord send me my helper unless I'll die under this rain.
Are you going to Ogudu? Thank you Jesus. Yes I am. Okay let's go.
Fast forward to getting to my bus stop (I'm sure your head is spinning from all this fast forward I've been saying) 😂
No bike? What is all this now? Next thing, I sight one guy that was on my matter years back. Eye contact. Uh hello.
I'm still stuck in the rain. Lord send another helper please. I begin to walk down the road, maybe I'll see a bike man. I see my ex crushee on a bike rushing somewhere then he sees me and tells the bike guy to turn back. Oh Lord. Is that you? Where are you going? I tell him. Oya climb let's go. Ehn? In this Lagos? In this Nigeria? Someone that liked me and I didn't send? He actually came back to pick me up. God, you work in marvelous ways. I couldn't stop saying thank you. To crown all this goodness and love I was experiencing, Snow (my amazing dog) came under the rain to greet me at the gate. He's never done that before because he doesn't like water at all! It made me feel extra loved.

See ehn, God listens to us if you really look at it. Once you're sincere in talking to him, he listens.
Now I'm home, about to whip up something to eat and relax. So byeeeeeeeeee.
