Strange Blood Turned Relative

Strangers may be strange to us before they show us the strange part that makes us feel strange about still having such strange people, which ends up making those strangers end up in the range of those we care for.
That sounds like rhymes right? But believe me, it's a summary for having strangers come into our lives, doing things even our own people might not do.

Based on the prompt to talk about a stranger who showed us kindness and why we can't forget them, I will be talking about a particular person.

Just like in every Nollywood movies, that you would see people walking by the road and a car would just parked beside the person to offer them (most especially a lady) a ride to where she's going or closeby, my roommate and I do receive this treatment in the estate we rented our apartment in Lekki, Lagos. Based on the location, exotic vehicles would always pass by and some offer a ride of which we were sceptical about at first but later got used to it after the first one that saved us from not getting late to work.

On a fateful day, there was a very heavy rain pour and as usual, everywhere was filled up with overflowing flood and we had to roll up our skirts and trousers to our upper thighs level so we can walk through the flood since it passed our knee level..

We were looking rough already and we had just started our journey to walk through the estate.
No ordered ride would dare come in, no matter the inflated offline price they wanna charge. So there was no option than to walk in the rivers of living waters.
That day, no one was ready to help as the exotic vehicles were all moving past us with no offer to help or even answer us if we requested till we gave up and decided not to embarrass ourselves anymore but walk in flood with dignity, hahaha.

In between our grumbling of the distance we still have to cover in flood and the time we would get to work, a jeep stopped and asked us to come in. He didn't even ask us where we were going and we also didn't bother to ask, as long as he helps us out of the great flood.
At the end of the day, not only did he helped us out of the flood but he dropped us close to our workplace and we just had to trek the remaining distance to work which ended up saving us the query of being late to work. We were so happy and even without our mouths physically uttering any prayers, our souls were blessing him with prayers already.

We stayed in contact as our paths crossed after then and he became our estate uncle and not what you probably think it will end in 😎.

Thanks for reading through 🤗
