RE: Day 1739: 5 Minute Freewrite: Wednesday - Prompt: gridlock

I remember this day I was going to meet my brother at work to get some stuff for my mom. He told me to meet him around 1 pm which I agreed to it, My brother asked me to leave at noon because it was during the festive period but I didn't answer him because of the feeling of I know the route.
The good thing was I didn't leave my house until 12:20 pm because the journey won't take more than 30mins. When I got to the bus station around 12:30 I didn't find any bus stationed there which i thought was due to the traffic light not knowing I was wrong. I waited about 10mins until I notice it was more than what I thought, so i decide to walk to the next bus station with the hope of getting a bus, It was when I got there I heard people saying it has been a stand still traffic for 30 minutes.
I got lost instantly, what should I do? I can't go back home and I have to get to my brother working place. I sighted some commercial bikes on the other side of the road, I approached them and they said no even after offering to pay double. My phone started ringing, and my brother was calling, I picked up and said I'm on my way. I waited for some minutes hoping I would get a bike but no and the traffic begin to get worse. I walked for close to 30 minutes inside the hot Lagos sun, and my phone didn't stop ringing. Both my mom and elder kept on calling.
I got to his working place around 2 pm looking like someone who is hawking around on the street, I was tired and smelling. My present state couldn't allow him to shout at me, I asked where is the stuff for mom and he said he couldn't get it and that he is going to give me money to give her. I couldn't say anything but the anger I was feeling after replied me brought tears to my eyes. I collected the money and also my transport fare and head back home. The only thing I did after I got home was had my shower and slept till the next morning
