MY NEW ALARM TIME...
I woke up sluggishly around 7am as I usually do, turning and wriggling on my bed for a while before
stepping down to the restroom. The reality is that it's only nature’s call that ever gets me out of bed that early or something equally critical. I definitely added an extra time in the restroom, resting of course, and only got up to leave for my room when I heard my phone ring.

When I checked, my heart throbbed; it was one of the most important people in my life. She went ‘Hello chum, good morning, can you be ready for a pick-up in about 10?’… I bit my lips, ‘No please, I am very sorry, it would take some time to freshen up and groom myself’… silence, she was gone! If this call came from a casual friend, I would’ve disregarded it as something casual, but it wasn’t. The caller was my lady friend, a senior friend I met while working in a 5-star hotel, one of those guests who live in expensive presidential suites for months, so it wouldn’t be a casual call.
I was pricked about the call the whole day as I kept wondering what it could’ve been about. It was evening already when I dialled her up and it rang a few times before she finally picked, mentioned her name in her usual ethical manner, ‘Please sorry I wasn’t ready at the time, how is your day going ma’am?’, she replied ‘Hey Mikey, its all good, I am in Abuja at the moment, what’s going on with you?’… ‘Abuja? I thought you were in town at the time you called?’… ‘Yeah, I was, we flew into Abuja earlier on, actually a friend wanted to attend an event here...a concert, I thought you'd be interested’… I went like ‘Oh, the call about the pickup this morning was about this?’…’Yes, that was when I was on my way to meet with her for breakfast… please let me call you back, someone is trying to talk to me down here…’ the line went dead again, and the line wasn’t the only thing that went dead, I also went dead! I couldn’t imagine waking up just to fly to Abuja and have fun. That was a day I would never forget, and from that day, I also never forgot to wake up early.
I've had enough bad experiences myself, some i may never forgot
