Trotro Tryst

If you are a trotro expert like me, you know anything can happen in a trotro.

You could find just the medicine you have been looking for to cure your recurrent running stomach problem, or your trousers could be ripped while getting out of your seat. You just never know. Sometimes you see the trotroand wonder if the trotro can make it to your intended destination. Taking trotro is always a gamble, and that is one of the exciting things about taking trotro. But once in a blue moon, something wonderful happens on trotro…you find someone who makes your heart go pita pita! I had one of these “once-in-a-blue-moon” encounter. Here is how it happened…

Mr. Biggs restaurant had just opened and it was the talk of the town. Hopefully you are old enough to remember Mr. Biggs…itsokay if you don’t remember them. I know some Bogus girl asleep at the office now, who isn’t old enough to remember Mr. Biggs either. I will tell you about this Bogus girl one of these days, today is about my trotro tryst. 

Mr. Biggs was the popping place around town and I had to go check it out. Obviously trotro was the best way to get there. 

When I got on the trotro I quickly scanned available seats and assessed my option using a complicated algorithm I developed based on distance I am traveling, model of vehicle, number of seats…okay, that is all just bullshit. I basically picked a spot by the nicest looking person by my standards. Per the trotro etiquettes, I smiled and said hello and started some random conversation. 

As the conversation progressed, I was already starting to like her, and then she made a revelation that changed the trajectory of everything.

I need to digress a little to talk about something absolutely not necessary. Actually, I think it will be the most sensible thing some of you will read today. There are always moments in life when a decisive change in a situation occurs, and it causes you to make a shift and respond differently – A turning point! I know you are itching to hear about the revelation she made – or maybe not. 

Either way, you have made it this far so what is the point in stopping now. The turning point in our conversation was when she said she was also going to Mr. Biggs. Okay, I know this was not what you were expecting to hear, but let me explain some more and you will see the significance of this revelation. This girl was a second year student at Legon…and she was taking trotro to Mr Biggs. For me, any girl who takes trotro to Mr. Biggs is a keeper for sure. At this point, I was convinced she was the one for me. 

We spent quite a bit of time at Mr. Biggs just lost in conversation. By the end of our trip back from Mr. Biggs – on a trotro of course – we had exchanged numbers and made plans to meet again. Later that day, we exchanged several text messages and I knew I was already in love. MTN’s free night calls a.k.a “anadwo y3 d3” couldn’t have come at a better time.

 I can’t tell you how many nights we spent talking into the early hours of the morning. I am sure MTN regretted their decision of running that promotion when they saw how much money they could have been making in airtime. As would be expected – or not - our conversations got naughty and we made plans to take a trip somewhere exclusive. I this point I could hear an orchestra playing one of Handle’s beautiful medley. The trip did happen and boy, it was the trip.

Stay tuned for details!
