Busy

Waking up in the morning, Kemi looks at the picture frame at her bedside.

"Good morning Mom, Good morning Dad," she said while holding it up and kissing it, then she put it back carefully, still examining it with tears in her eyes. It's been a year since she has been living by herself in a rental apartment.

She got up and walked towards the mirror, which is covered with a white cloth. She uncovered it and looked at her reflection. Her long black hair comes down to her waist, her eyes are blue like the sky, there is nothing wrong in saying that she's beautiful, but she doesn't like it, maybe because it looks like someone she doesn't want to remember, she sighed and covered it back again.

She went to the kitchen and started preparing her breakfast. "What should i have today?" she said while looking at the clock. "Not much time, a toast will work." After eating an egg and a toast, she got ready, grabbed her guitar, and went out.

Outside, she saw her neighbour ladies gossiping. "Good morning, Mrs. Lee, Mrs. Yu, " she greeted them. "Ah good morning Kemi, you're looking beautiful as ever," said Mrs Yu.

"Yes, yes, are you heading out on a date this early in the morning?" asked Mrs. Lee.

"Haha, no time for a date, I'm going to my workplace,"

"Oh, girls, these days, always working, you should think about having a boyfriend, a marriage will be perfect"

"I don't think I'm ready for a relation yet, so a marriage is nearly as an impossible thing. That said, I'm getting late for work i should be going,"

"Good heavens, go and work hard," said Mrs Yu.

"Will do," said kemi while bowing as a goodbye and went to her first job.

Her first job was as at a restaurant near her house where she worked as a waitress, she went straight to the changing room, putting her guitar beside "I'll be back" she said looking at the guitar, changed her clothes, put a smile on her face and went out. After two hours of work, she finished and got back to the changing room.

"Hey, you done with your shift?" said Ami, who was getting ready for hers.

"Yeah, gotta go now," said Kemi while grabbing her guitar.

"Another Job?" she said while putting on lipstick.

"Something like that,"

"We're going to the bar at night. You should join us it will be fun,"

"Umm, I'm sorry, I've got work at night too,"

"What, really, how many jobs do you have. whenever i ask you out, you're busy. "

"Nothing that I can't handle, I'll try my best to go out with you guys next time,"

"Okay, that's a promise now,"

"Yeah, bye now," Kemi said and went to the cafe where she works as a guitarist.

On entering, she went straight to the stage, set up, and started playing. Everyone at the cafe enjoyed her song as much they loved her voice. After singing three songs, she got up, bowed, and went to the staff room.

"Kemi!! i see you sang good as always, " said DJ.

On seeing him, Kemi's attitude changed.

"Yeah, whatever," she said without any expression on her face.

"Come on, cut some slack to your number one fan,"

"Number one fan?" she made a disgusted face."Even people on the street are better than you, you stalker. "

"Jeez, come on, Kemi, I'm no stalker and don't compare me to the people on..."

"Whatever, i don't have time for this," she cut DJ, and while saying this, she headed towards the back door.

It was almost noon now, and it was time for her to have a break. She bought some bread for herself and sat in a park to eat peacefully. When she saw some kids playing soccer, seeing them play made her excited because she always loved playing soccer when she was young. Without any hesitation, she got up and started playing with the kids.

"Big sister should play with us every day," a kid said while holding kemi's hand.

"Of course, I'll play with you whenever I'm free," she said.

When she was done, she sat back at the bench and thought that she had fun like this after a long time.

After all, she finishes her jobs and goes home and falls asleep right away. She smiles to herself.

"Two more left to do!" she said to herself and started finishing her food.

Only she didn't know that a car was waiting for her at the gate of the park...

"Sir She's here," the person in the driver's seat said to the person sitting behind.

"Heh, let's wait then..."
