How I met the C.E.O. of Apple!!!😃😃😭

 

So it happened that I was walking towards the market. My mother had sent me to buy some vegetables to cook for lunch. There was heavy traffic on the road. The vehicles had to move at a slow walking pace. In our local language, other public minibusses called “Nganya” were driven along the roadside, thus overtaking the other vehicles from the jam. 

“These drivers are so daring!” I exclaimed as one bus missed hitting by a few inches. When three buses had overtaken the others, a steady stream of personal cars began passing. It was as if they were escorting the president. So I took the opportunity to admire the big expensive cars I had seen on the internet and TV. 

“Oh my GOD, look at that!” I exclaimed as one Range Rover passed. I took that time to admire it. My dream has always been to own one. So I admire every part of it. I looked at the tires, looked at the brakes inside the tires, scrutinized the tinted windows and the headlights and the rear lights.

I struggled to keep up with its pace in the times when its speed increased due to the congestion situation. At some point, I had to run quickly just to keep up with it. As I was running, I was tripped and fell. I felt my whole body getting wet😳. 

“Oh my GOD!” I had fallen into someone's tomatoes which were displayed there for sale. I slowly rose and all the tomatoes down there were damaged. My whole shirt had turned red 🍒 and my heart started palpitating in fear. 

“Don't you watch where you're going?” The angry trader asked.

“Ah… I… I was…” I stammered. 

“You were what?” He shouted, “Do you know how much this is?” 

“Ah… yeah… I know… I…” 

“You know?” He asked but I remained silent. I tried to wipe my shirt. When I looked forward, I could not see the Range Rover any longer. The traffic congestion had subsided and vehicles were moving at a rather high speed. 

“Oh my GOD!” I exclaimed as I looked towards the road. “It has gone away!” 

“What has gone away?” The trader asked while watching the road trying to see what I was looking at. “Are you going to stare at other people's cars and then destroy my tomatoes and expect me to let you go?” I remained silent not knowing what to answer. “You have to pay for this?” 

“I'm sorry Sir! But I don't have any money with me?” I pleaded. 

“What do you mean you're sorry? You have to pay me! Call your parents and inform them to send me money right away!” I stood there not knowing what to do. I knew that my mother could hardly believe me. Furthermore, I had forgotten her number. 

“How do I tell him that I don't know my parents' contacts?” I thought. The trader then removed his belt. The situation was getting out of hand. He was getting more and more angry. When I was hesitant, he raised the belt high in the air and brought it down my back hitting me brutally. 

“Give me my money!” He shouted. With anger and pain, I felt tears streaming from my eyes involuntarily.😭😭 He raised the belt for a second time. His look was demeaning and threatening. His shouts and threats suddenly attracted the attention of other traders and pedestrians.

“What has he done!” One of the pedestrians shouted. However, the trader did not answer as everything was self-explanatory. The look of the spoilt tomatoes and my wet shirt spoke volumes to them. He suddenly dropped the belt again towards me. I closed my eyes unable to bear the pain. However, I did not feel anything on my back. Instead, I found myself flying in the air. It was as if something had lifted me and helped me escape the dangers and pain of the cruel trader. 

When I opened my eyes, I was held by the arms of a strong man. The Range Rover I had been following was just a few meters before us. I looked in amazement as the man gave a bundle of notes to the trader who received it with a smile on his face. The man then opened the door of the car and I entered. 

“Oh my GOD!” I thought as I got inside the car and he drove off. 

“Why did you come to save me?” I asked the man. He was silent at first before answering.

“I imagined the drama that you were to go through, just because of admiring my car.” I looked at him gleefully 😃. “So I came to save you.” He said. We were silent again as he drove. After driving for about half a kilometer, an ambulance siren was heard. Vehicles were static on the road without moving. He came out of the car to check what had blocked the road. He then came back quickly and panting heavily. 

“What is it?” I asked surprised. 

“You won't believe it. The car that was behind me initially has been involved in a fatal accident!” I was shocked. I looked at him without saying anything. “Thank you for saving my life!” He said after thinking for a moment. I could not understand him. I was confused 😕🤔. 

“Excuse me, but how did I save your life?” I asked. 🤷

“If you would not have stepped on the trader's tomatoes, I would not have come back to save you! If nothing had happened, I would not have come back to save you, and that accident would have occurred to me!” Tears started rolling in his eyes. I could not believe that a big man like that could cry, so I parted him on the back assuring him comfort. 

“Don't worry, it's okay. That's why it happened so that I could save you.” I also could not hide my tears. The pain in my back had subsided. The man asked to meet my parents and after explaining everything to them, my mother was very happy and proud of me. It was then that I discovered that the man was the C.E.O. of Apple 🍏, a world-leading tech company and that he was out on one of his business trips. 

You won't believe what happened after that. To cut it short, my family now owns shares in Apple, everyone at home has the latest iPhones, and everything at home is just associated with Apple right from iPads and all other sorts of devices. My elder brother who wanted to pursue medicine at college, shifted to computer science because of a promised internship at Apple. And who am I? 🤷I will surely follow suit😃😃❣️❣️. 

Surely, everything happens for a reason. If I blessed your day, please check the next story. I promise that I won't disappoint. I will always have stories to make your day😃❤️. Thanks for reading ❤️❤️🙏.
