In today's post I want to share how my weekend was tempered with and giving a bad memory… yes it was so painful

Returned back from evening class the previous Friday night after along and series of task achieved riding on my bike I came home satisfied to an extend. Wow on reaching home. I couldn't find the keys to the door. We are three in the room and we share one key. Raymond left with the other keys and we are left to share this only one remaining. We have a location where we do go direct to retrieve it when we need. So it wasn't there when I returned. How can I get Inside it's already 7 pm and I need to shower. A thought came it might be with one of those my roomies with Daniel of Johnson.

Recently there was a break in the neighbors room and two laptops were stolen. So we discussed about the safety and security of our room so I guessed that's a measure they've employed. By going with it. So I sat down out side the lodge pressing my phone and waiting for their return. Already I've packed my bike at where it use to be. Suddenly I saw Daniel coming ooh a relief came on as I was there for about an hour already. So seeing him gave confidence that I'm going in.

What's up bro, welcome I greeted how you he replied. I'm good I said. Are you with the keys he said no. It should be there I told him it's not. Okay he now said it should be with Johnson and he is still in church. Alright he suggests to go get it from him in the church he hurriedly went and there it was with him coming but Johnson stayed back. Alright, door opened and we entered. Immediately I showered and I lay to rest for a while.

Then I woke up get something to eat around 10 pm and I got my phone. I was working on a book. So I stayed awake till morning that's around 3 am then I decided to go sleep. Then I woke up. And it was already morning 6:47 am. Wow everyone is up already Dan is out Johnson just came back and left. So I decided to go out stretch my body and brush my teeth that Saturday morning immediately I noticed my bike wasn't available. I was like is this a dream or …. Quickly I asked Dan where is my my ? Didn't you carried it this morning? He replied I wanted to be vexed because he new I and him were sleeping and just waking up how could I pick it when he even wake before me? So I was calm.

I went to the nest door to call out to my friend Michael with the hope he isn't home. Cause at times he will pick it early morning to morning mass. So I went with the hope he took it but on reaching his door I heard his voice inside. Tor… meaning he is at home. And also someone else has done this. I came back to the spot where the bike was packed. Then I realized the cloth I kept on it the previous night was thrown on the ground. Quickly I interprete a good motive won't throw my clothe rather he will hand it on the rope outside right close the the bike. Ummm… it seems my bike has been stolen.

I tried possible to trace the bike tyres thread but no avail not even a sign. This mean they thiesfs passed through the fence while carrying it up. It's a little and strong stunts bike. Shipped from USA. How can I miss or loss this great companion of mine??? That's what I use everyday to transport my self to school, a distance of over 1.4 km oh my God how can I cope different thoughts running through my mind.

I refuse to shout or raised any alarm I just walked out side went through the nuke and cranies of the vecinity but couldn't see any trace. I went to the near by police post reported it. To also the tricycle men to report if should in case the found someone with such a bike wanting to transport it away they should notify me. To the vendor of the bike I quickly notify him too. But all through nothing positive.

I returned home shower and find breakfast. I told my self it's well. The bike has done a lot for me. And serves it real purpose for a quiet long time. I bought it 2019 and it was stolen 2023. I always maintain the bike that it always look new everyday. I was even planning on serving it soon. For the new semester which just began but it's well. I didn't bother again. I know they thiesfs are closer by they're around and looking too. I let go and made up my mind to fight forward and not fighting back. A bigger one will soon come that's my believe.

That's how my Saturday began and I thank God for all. Thank you for your time reading through this experience of mine. It's not easy but one have to get on!!!

All pictures are mine!!!!

I hope they will find your bike for you.
I hate it when people steal other peoples stuff they have worked hard for to buy.
