Knock knock. Knock knock. Knock knock
“God, who exactly is it at this time of the day?” Maddy rolled on her bed, ignoring the knocks from the door.
Knock knock. Knock knock. Knock knock
“Now, this is crazy. Who disturbs other people at this hour? It may be that persistent loser. I won’t open the door for him.” she concluded in her mind. She finally opened her eyes after ten minutes of serious disturbance from that inhumane person at her door, as she thought. 
She rolled over to put on the light from the lampstand. She picked her phone and put it on, still half-sleepy. She sprung up from her bed immediately when she saw the time.
“Oh My God! It’s 6:20 already? God, what happened to the alarm?” She threw the phone away “It couldn’t even wake me.” She face palmed. “Everything’s just going bad for me, even my alarm betrayed me” She thought. 
“Great, my eyes are red. Now, everyone at work will think I drank a carton of beer last night

. Stupid, stupid me”. She said while she brushed her teeth, washed her face, changed from her nightdress into a sweat pant and sweater and then headed for the door while she slightly shook.
She opened the door and her eyes widened “Nancy, so it was you? I didn’t know, so sorry. Come on in!” She took her best friend by the arm and entered the room back. Nancy was shaking like jellyfish and her body was very cold. Maddy put the heater on, went to the kitchen, made some tea, poured into two mugs and brought them to the living room.
“I’m sorry, Nancy. Do you feel better now?” she asked. Nancy looked at her, took three sips from the tea and put the mug down. She took her muffler off her body and walked up to her. 
“One, two, three” Maddy counted in her mind. At the count of three, Nancy hit her and she yelped.
“Why on earth did you refuse to open your door? I’ve been at your door for nothing less than twenty minutes. You want me to finally freeze so you can put me here” she walked over to where she pointed to. “So you want to put me here like a statue so when people enter, they comment ‘what a beautiful statue!’ then you say ‘ooh that’s my bestie. I love her so much, I got her freezed outside my door in the harmattan so now I feel guilty and I want her where I am’ Bullsh-t! What type of bestie are you?”
Maddy had laughed so much at her drama because she kept demonstrating and it was so funny. “I’m sorry, Miss Drama Queen”. She kept laughing and Nancy joined in the laughter.
“You know it’s Ken who named me drama queen” she suddenly frowned. 
“I don’t want to hear that name, Nan, I don’t. It’s over” Maddy said, as a matter of fact and left the living room.

. Nancy followed her and they entered her room.
“Okay okay. Is it more than what he told me? Cos I don’t think that is enough to call off your wedding” Nancy sat on the bed.
“Ookay, it isn’t? I should have him cheat on me forever while I get hooked in a ‘What God Has Joined Together’ thing?” Maddy said, demonstrating with her hands. “Sorry, but I can’t do that” she left her there, changed into a towel and headed for the bathroom. Turning back, she said “I’ll be back in a jiffy but call Nurse Prexious and tell her I’ll be a bit late. By the way, why are you going to work?”
“Alright. Tyler is getting discharged today, both father and son want me to be there”
“Hun hun hun” Maddy said, suggestively
“Ma-di-son, come back here, it’s not what you think” Nancy said in a sing-song
“Tsk. Whatever! So boring an individual” Maddy said under her breath. “Anyway, that’s an honourable cause for going out on one’s day off” she said and Nancy smiled.
“Na you sabi o. But seriously…” Nan started and she ran off to the bathroom.
