Down the lane
Oh! Dear, I wish I could tell you how much I love you.
How much I wanted us to spend a greater part of lives together.
I was only able to get to you over the phone that I was driving home along Ibadan/ Lagos expressway.
I wanted to tell you that I got a report from the doctor confirming that I am already two weeks pregnant?
I was coming home to break the news to you.
We have waited for two years for this moment.
I don't just get it hubby.
The body u cherish is now as dark as black itself.
I could only remember closing my eyes after an explosion had occurred.
Yes I closed my lids because I couldn't do any other thing order think about you.
I saw death grip me by the wrist and forcefully dragged me to hades.
I know u must be heart broken by now. But I wish I never left your sight.
There came an explosion!
Oh! I hear Screams! Screams!! Screams!!!
Clamouring for help. From every point on that lane of the bridge, screams as loud as a cheer in stadium were heard. The strong forced themselves out of their vehicles. It was a survival of the fittest.
A father left his Child behind. He ran for his dear life.
It started like a movie...
I was driving closing behind a tanker conveying petrol.
Boom! Boom!! Boom!!! It goes.
Oh! Fire!!!
Oh! Heat!!!
I was afraid.
I was left with no chance to escape.
It kept coming like an epidemic fast encroaching a city.
This seems to be it.
A calamitous end for me.
I was taciturn. I couldn't even shout.
The only thing i could do was to think about you and our two weeks embryo...
Oh! I could feel the heat.
It's melting me down.
The sweat from my body had attained a temperature above 100 degree Celsius.
Fire! Fire!! Fire!!!
was all over me!
All this while, I was still thinking about you.
Hubby could you believe that I was burning?
My breath was leaving me.
I felt a part of me leave another part of me.
Just like a blink of an eye, I was out of my car. I wasn't burning.
I mean, its confusing. I saw myself in the flames but I wasn't burning anymore.
Wow! Miracle I thought.
I saw people shouting for help inside the fire.
I ran away from the scene. Oh! No! This is not true. I can't touch anything. It was as if either I or the things and people I tried to touch are all illusions. I looked back at the scene. I saw my car, there It was already consumed by fire. But wait a second, there, inside my car was a figure sitting on the drivers seat motionless. I could remember sitting there some minutes ago.
Oh!!! This is it. Am dead.
Am no more!
Am sorry hubby!
Please forgive me. I tried to survive. I tried to fight back but couldn't.
RIP to the more than 200 gone in flames.
Can't still get this off my head. What if u were the one? What if you were in the fire. Imagine seeing your death very crystal clear before it grips you.
Always commit yourself in God's hand before you leave your homes.
Psalm 91 is very helpful.
Think about it!!!
