Just a call

Just one phone call and his life would turn around, just a particular phone call and his misery would get the boots, its only a phone call he needed now so he and his pregnant girl friend could reap the supposed dividends of this cohabitation, so when Halima asked her boy friend ''Emeka, wouldn't you eat first?'' this was his reply ''Halima my sweet, Halima the mother of my unborn child, i need to get this phone fully charged now, you know this phone call has the POWER TO DO AND UNDO?'' Yes indeed, just a phone call could have the power to do and undo. Approximately 4 and a half hours later, Emeka returned looking very exhausted and dehydrated. The stench escorting him pointed bath, bath, bath... but the grumbling stomach opposed, so he demanded for his meal with a little temper. ''guess what? My mumu parents just ca...'' Emeka interrupted angrily ''look, u just heard me right?'', ''but i am getting the...'', ''just get me my meal would you? If you are tired of staying with me, u can pleas go back to your parents so that they can keep forcing you to wear Hijab and ...'' just then the long awaited call came and the whole house turned dead silent while they listened to the ringtone sway happily in an echo into the small compartments of the rented one bedroom flat. ''hello... Yes it is, good ev... Where?... Yeah i know... be right there now... Thank you very much, may the Heavenly Lord bless you.'' he dropped d call and suddenly became lively again ''my sweet, pop pop pop something'', ''to hell with you'' she replied angrily. He retreated and left the house quietly, ''no be your fault'' when i come back with this fortune, make i see whether you no go bow to my feet he thought.Mr. Alabi was a very careful man, who respect all traffic rules when driving, so when his wife kept calling his phone, he refused to receive the call but when the phone rang for the 5th time and this time around it was his girl friend, he immediately received the call as such didn't notice when a young man so obsessed with thoughts, was crossing the road. JUST A CALL, and a life was lost by motor accident. Emeka had been long dead since before Mr. Alabi could get the police and an ambulance.
