MUSIC AND ME | Source Of My Happiness

I can never get tired of listening to music. In that same way I can never get tired of talking about music. Now Here's a few scenarios that have proved that music is the source of my happiness.

SCENE 1

---

It was a cold Saturday morning. In the family house here, it is a tradition to clean up the house and surrounding. That fateful day, I was the only one at home. I worked my ass off. With my MUSIC by my side, I Swept the house, cleaned the house, cut grass and all that. I was totally exhausted.

I decided to take a little rest before I continue, somehow I slept off. Just then my father stepped in.

"What are you doing in bed. You lazy son. The plates haven't been washed, the refuse hasn't been disposed and you are here lying around lazily in bed. Before I come back here you better be on your feet working"

Those words broke my heart, because I know that I have been working tirelessly since morning. If he wasn't my father this would have definitely been my reply

"Old man what is your problem? Is it wrong to take a little rest in between the pile of work that awaits me today. Do you know how many things I have done this morning, but instead of a well done this is what I get!"

But then I couldn't say this to his face, so I resorted to my MUSIC to calm my soul and bring me happiness.

SCENE 2

---

Sandra and I have been friends for a while now. A very long while. She was my gist partner, we talked about anything and everything. She loved to escort me to places, and do things together with me.

---

One day something Strange happened. The previous day, I left my laptop at her place because she begged me to let her use it watch movies. So we agreed to meet up in school so that she would return the laptop.

I got to our usual meeting point, under a tree close to the admin block. I waited for her for some minutes, and she was yet to arrive. I had to call her.

"Hello Sandra where are you? Why aren't you here yet?"

"Hey K, I'll be there I promise. I woke up late, I'm sorry"

"Please hurry up. My project is in that laptop, I need to submit it to my supervisor before he leaves."

"I'm coming, let me quickly shower and dress up."

Hearing this, I already knew she wouldn't be coming within the hour, because I new girls (most girls) take several hours to "quickly shower and prepare'. So I set my mind to expect her in the next 1hr 30 minutes. I decided to go and grab breakfast while i wait for her. After breakfast, I relaxed in the eatery rather than going to stand under the tree like a jobless man.

---

It was two hours now. I called again

"Where are you now, it's 2hrs now. How long does it take you to 'quickly shower and dress up?"

"I'm through, I'm in a bus heading to school."

"Please I'm waiting for you at our spot. Be fast abeg."

I had to head back to the tree, so that I don't miss her when she finally arrived. I stood there another hour. I was losing my cool. The sun was getting hot and I started sweating. I called again.

"The number you dialed is switched off, please try again later."
The electronic machine Replied.

This wasn't funny again. I was getting angry. My supervisor was leaving in the next hour. Apart from that, the fact that I have been standing here for hours wasn't funny at all. I remained there, hoping that her battery tripped off but she was on her way.

---

Another 30 minutes passed, she was nowhere to be found. This was the Climax. Was she playing silly games with me? Was she trying to get back to me for some wrong I did? Did she purposely switch off her phone just to spite me? Several thoughts came to my mind.

Just then I saw my supervisor leave his office, got into his car and drove off. I was mad at Sandra. Really angry and pisssed off.

---

With that state of mind,I couldn't attend any lecture, so I headed straight home. Few minutes later I got a call from Sandra. My anger wouldn't let me pick up the call. She called about 5times. Then she dropped me an SMS

"K. I'M really sorry. I swear I am. I know you are very angry and probably don't want to see me, but please come and open your gate. I've been here knocking for a while now."

Was this another of her silly games? Because I didn't hear anybody knock. Or maybe I didn't hear the knock because I had my headset on.

I opened the gate and let her in. Once she got into the sitting room she said to me.

"I know there are no words that can calm you down or make you forgive me right now, so permit me to do this"

She walked over to where my home theater was, plugged the aux in her phone and played one of my favorite Music of all time, Turn On the lights by Future"

"Turn On The Lights
I'm looking for her
I heard she keep her promises and never turn on you
I heard she ain't gon cheat she gon never make a move
I heard she be there anytime you need her she come through"

She Got me! She knew me Too well. With the lyrics of this music speaking to me and the beat banging in my ears. All the anger left me. I found myself smiling with a heart full of happiness.
