When I went to buy my ticket at the VIP station at Circle in the morning, I gave the attendant a ¢200 note and forgot to take my change. The guy called me back: "Osofo, please, it's 160 Cedis. Wait for your change."
I gave a quaint smile and took the money. I didn't bother to ask why he called me a pastor. He smiled back and said "your car would move at 7pm tonight."
Then, I went to Neoplan station to board a trotro home. I asked a man wearing a T-shirt with Bawumia on it inscribed "IT IS POSSIBLE"...
"Please, where's the vehicle going to Spintex?"
He pointed to a blue bus and said "Sofo, go straight to the blue Sprinter over there."
This time, I was concerned why he also called me a pastor but once again, I didn't ask him. Already, UGMC had stressed me so all I needed was get home and rest.
Fast forward, evening came and I am at the same VIP station to board my bus to Atebubu. When the driver opened the doors for entry, I was the first person to board the bus.
I sat comfortably and as usual, covered my ears with my Oraimo Boom Headphones 🎧 and took out my book to read. Soon, the bus was filling up but the seat beside me was still empty.
Then came a very beautiful lady. She looked at her ticket and looked at me twice. "24, window" she said.
"Osofo, please, I'm here with you to the window. Please, may I sit". She sounded very polite and here again, she also called me a pastor.
I again gave another quaint smile. This time, the driver announced to the passengers:
"Hi everyone, our last passenger just boarded and we're ready for takeoff. My name is Owusu and I'll be your driver from here to Mampong, Ejura, Amantin, Atebubu, Prang and Yeji depending on your destination. But first of all, I need one of you to say a prayer before we take off."
I felt a nudge on my shoulder followed by a loud voice. "A pastor is here. He'll pray!" The lady beside me said.
Truly, I was in the spirit listening to Apostle Michael Orokpo so I said a Pentecostal prayer with some tongues and the whole bus responded Amen!
After the prayer, I tried to be a gentleman so I can connect with this fine damsel.
The driver started moving out of Circle.
Then his tape too started to play music.
The first music started like
"if I should die before I wake...
It's 'cause you took my breath away.."
Jordin Sparks - No Air. I was tempted to sing along because I know every lyrics of the song but I stayed calm.
Right after it ended, the next song was Chris Brown's With You. Again, I tried very hard to stay calm but anytime the song got to "With you, with you with you," I nodded my head along.
That one too ended and before I could say Jack, ...
"Lonely, I have nobody..." Akon - Lonely.
This time, I was already singing along and forgot that I was listening to a sermon. All this while, the lady was smiling.
Song after song, I sang it all from...
Sean Kingston's - Beautiful Girls, Ne-Yo - Dilemma, Usher - My Boo, Akon - Don't Matter, Ne-Yo - Miss Independent, Sean Paul - Get Busy, Fat Joe - What's Luv?, Shaggy - Church Heathen...
When 50 Cent - In Da Club came up, I couldn't control it and was now raising my hands in the air. This same lady tapped me and said...
"Sofo, this is not a club ooo"
Now everyone's eyes and necks are looking at me as if I did something bad. When the driver stopped briefly, everyone is trying to look into my eyeballs. 🙄🙄🙄 We look, we don't judge nu, you no hear?
Do you know the crackings we did with Sean Paul's Temperature, R. Kelly's Burn It Up and Shakira's Hips Don't Lie? They're lucky I'm not fully fit nanka they'd see crackings in this bus🙈🤣😜 M'ato a m'ato! 😂🙈
