EPISODE 8
She finally got the courage to pick up the call after she realized and confirmed she was all alone in the room.
"Hello, good morning. How are you doing? Sorry I missed your calls" Adenike said
"Adenike, good morning. I have been good and you? Sincerely, I don't know what is happening to us? Ever since you started this job, you have not been yourself. You don't even have time for me. If I call you, you won't pick and you won't call back. If I text you, I get late response from you.
Honestly, it's not been fair and I don't think you can take half of what you are doing to me. Is it because you know I love you so much. We don't even have time for our personal prayers and Bible reading. What exactly is going on? I can't concentrate on anything. I'm worried about you but it seems I'm the only one feeling this same". Ayoola said as he poured out his mind
"Sincerely Ayoola, I don't know what to say. It's not as if I am ignoring your calls. If I was, I won't pick this call. Concerning the messages, babe you know I usually respond to your messages, it's just the timing that is different and it's not my fault too, this job has been demanding. I close late and I spend hours in traffic and most time when I get home, all I do is just to sleep" Nike said
"What kind of job takes your whole time? I'm not sure it's the right job for you, if you can be doing this to me, I wonder how your prayer life looks like now" Ayoola said
"You don't have to talk to me this way. I have responsibilities and I believe you should know that. I have ministry that I'm involved in and I will need to sow seeds. I have told you severally, I work as a customer care representative. While we are at work, I really don't have time to chat and once I get home, I try my best to reply your messages or message you before sleeping. What else do you want? I don't think you can understand much because you are still in school" Nike said before she realized she shouldn't have said that statement as it will hurt his pride.
"Really Nike.... I guess we will discuss later" he said as he hanged up.
It was at that point, she realized she was reacting to the pressure she got from an annoying customer to him. While she was on call, she was also attending to message on the system and it her distracted
"God help me" she said as she was unhappy
