The handwriting 👌
The school bus always came as early as 7a.m to pick my kids up for school.
So I usually woke up as early as 5a.m to start getting them prepared for school and also get ready for work since I equally left home for work at that time too.
On this particular day, I had woken up very late. I ran a very high temperature in the night.
Since it was glaring that they were going to miss the school bus that morning, I decided to take permission from my work place to be a few minutes late to work.
That was the only way to avoid my salary getting slashed by month end.
I quickly took them to school before heading to work that morning.
I was still at work when a staff at my children's school called telling me to come pick my kids up from school.
From the tone of her voice, I could sense that she was very angry with me for keeping her in school by that time.
It was already 5p.m, I was already an hour late.
"Please madam, don't be annoyed. I'm coming now" I said as I packed the files in front of me
I still had piles of work in front of me but at that moment, I needed to pick my kids up from school first.
That was the hardest part of being a single mum!
After spending almost an extra one hour on the road because of the terrible traffic jam, I finally got to their school but met it locked!
I quickly dialed the number that had called me earlier;
"Hello madam, please I'm in school now. Where are you?" I asked feeling sorry for the poor woman.
"I left school thirty minutes ago. They should be with the school security man. Just knock on the gate." She said.
"Okay, thank you very much and I'm really sorry for keeping you in school till that time" I apologized before I ended the call.
After standing in front of the gate knocking for over 5 minutes, the security man finally opened the gate.
He must have been deeply in sleep seeing how drowsy he looked.
"Good evening...Please I came to pick my kids" I said
"Your pikins still dey school?" he asked looking confused as he walked towards the waiting room.
"No child dey inside there oh" he said walking towards the hate
"Those two children one madam wey dey teach here drop for you" I tried explaining to him.
"Oh!...Oh!...Oh!...i don remember...They don go since na" he said
"I don't understand...go how?" I asked confused
"Look at it here na...your husband name no be Stephen?
He don come carry them...He no tell you?" he said pointing at the student's sign out register.
The handwriting looked exactly like my late husband's writing😱
