Friday Random thoughts: A journey l will never forget a story continued...

Now where were we…

When l dropped off at the garage my thoughts were great it’s a 24 hour l will charge my phone and call my friend all is going to be ok,"I will be in my own bed in no time"...(You know everything that could go wrong went wrong that day).

Turns out contrary to my belief the garage was not a 24hr garage (I honestly do not know why l thought that) and there was no one in site l had a moment of panic and crying at same time because l could not think of what to do. As l was looking around sobbing l saw a bus parked then l thought maybe not all hope is lost l can still make it home. I knocked on the door and there was no response…(you know that beat in a horror movie were the killer is about to catch you…lol ok maybe m exaggerating.)But it kind of felt like one of those moments.

I sat next to the bus seeing my life flash before my life (pretty much like this meme) said a silent a prayer that by God mercy nothing harms me until dawn. As l was sitting there being the prayer worrier l had turned out to be in the moment lol ,the bus started moving (more like shaking)…Nanko ngisifa ngimncane is what l was screaming on the inside. My body however did things l did not fathom.l found myself knocking on the door and to my surprise a man opened the door.l asked to charge my phone with a quivering voice and the man who looked irritated to have been woken up looked at me and gave a sign saying we have no chargers or airtime(not sure how calling my uncle at 4am would have played out.).

However they invited me in to sit in the bus until its dawn then find my way home. The offer sounded good only problem was l did not know if l was moving from a fire to an inferno these man could kill me and no one would ever know (by these men l mean the 3 other man in the bus) but l took a leap of faith and got in the bus ( sat there again saying silent prayers until dawn). i had to come out a mamfundisi with amount of praying l was making.

Nothing happened to me THANK GOD. My friend did come to pick me up like me they also had phone problems. AS they say the rest is really history. I am still alive to tell these stories.

What’s your journey you will never forget?
