When I Fell In Love
EPISODE 10
 
Everything was set for my fathers burial.Visitors were
trouping in,they were all wearing black.Soon the
pastor arrived and the service proceeded.Mum broke down in tears,i hugged her and tried my best to
console her.Joy’s parent came in but joy wasn’t with
them i was relieved.The other of song began,mum
wouldn’t stop crying no matter how i try to console
her.Later testimonies were asked to be rendered,so
many people said good things about my father.Joy just showed up from nowhere and rendered her own
testimony.She was staring at me while rendering it.I
felt disgusted,soon i was called to render mine and i
said all the goods things i could ever think of
concerning him.The wh0le testimony section was
over.The pastor climbed the pulpit and started praying.Soon the box where the ashes of my father
were kept,was brought out.My mum,joys
parent,including joy herself with her brother,some
family member with friends including me,went
around the house spreading his ashes because that
was his last wish.Soon the wh0le ceremony was over,food and drinks were served.Mum refused to eat
anything since morning,she kept on crying.
Mum: Your father knew i loved him so much,why did
he leave me all alone?
Donald: Mum take it easy,it’s best known to God.
Mum: i need some time alone please. Donald: Alright mum
I left her all alone to cry her pains out.I went to clear
all the plate and cups the visitors used to eat,joys
parent asked about my mum and i directed them to
where she was.Joy walked up to me with a sad face.
Joy: (hugged me) he was the best uncle i ever had.
Donald: (feeling uncomfortable) he was the best dad
also
Joy: (looked at me with tears in her eyes) now i feel so
alone,my parents would be travelling tomorrow.
Donald: (feeling frustrated) so that means?
Joy: i’ll move in with you for a wh0le one month
Donald: What!
Joy: yea
Donald: can’t you stay at your house with your bro?
Joy: his semester break is over so he is moving back
to school today.
Donald: (not happy) well you know i can’t stand you!
Joy: you have no choice
She left me to bare the pain to putting up with her for
a bad one month.It’s going to be hell! o must find
something to do about this.
I kept walking round the house picking dirty dishes.I
over head joys discussion with bisi from the kitchen window.
Joy: don’t think i don’t know you are interested in
donald.
Bisi: So?
Joy: Donald is all mine and i’ll go to any length to have
him
Bisi: (laughs) we’ll see about that,two can play this
game.
Joy: And i’ll always win
Omo see gobe! nawa oo! as if i am the only guy on
this planet earth.I took the dishes to the kitchen and
those two witches were still there. Joy: donald i need to talk to you in private.
Donald: About what?
She pulled me along with her without saying anything.
Joy: (she shut the door) i want to say that i am really
very sorry for everything
Donald: i’ve heared you! can i go now?
Joy: i know you hate me but donald i only wanted a
best friend which i found in you.i know my attitudes
are bad that is why you hate me now. (teary eyes)
Donald: i know you are pretending
Joy: i know you won’t believe me because of what
you heard me say to bisi Donald: (Wondering how she got to know) yes!
Joy: i love you but just as a best friend (went on her
knees) please donald i’m so sorry don’t push me
away
Donald: (felt pity) get up! it’s okay
Joy: (She got up and hugged me) thank you donald,guess we are friends now
Donald: (raised an eyebrow) i guess!
Joy: i pray one day you would forgive me .
I looked at joy and felt a kind of feeling,the one i felt
the first time i saw her.I think she is very sorry for
what she did to me,i think i believe her.She came and gave me back the phone
Joy: i want you to have this phone and i’m so sorry for
disgracing you in church today.I’ll make it up to you i
promise
Donald: it’s okay joy,i forgive you.Lets forget the
past,we are friends now Joy: (ran to me and hugged me) thank you so much!
 
Opened my eyes to the morning light,it was monday
already.I stepped out of bed to the living room,i saw
bisi preparing to leave the house for her exams.
Donald: wish you goodluck
Bisi: (smiled) thanks
I saw her out the gate,as i turned to mums room,i saw
joy coming out of her room.I smiled at her.
Joy: Good morning donald!
Donald: how was your night?
Joy: it was peaceful
Donald: oh really! that’s nice.
Joy: yeah! guess bisi is out for her exams
Donald: yes
Joy: ours is tomorrow,i feel nervous!
Donald: You don’t have to,everything would go well. Joy: (came up to me and hugged me) thanks donald
Donald: you are welcome.
Still in her tight hug,mum came out and it looks like
she has been crying all night
Donald: Goodmorning mum!
She ignored me as if i didn’t exist. Joy: Goodmorning aunt!
Mum: oh my dear,how was your night?
Joy: (looked at me) it was fine
Mum: your mum as dropped your things here
Joy: (surprised) when!
Mum: while you were asleep Joy: (sad) they left without saying goodbye
Mum: she didn’t want to wake you up.
Joy: i’m uses to it anyway
Mum: (looked at me) donald the garden has gone out
of shape,would you go and trim it!
Donald: (surprised because we had a gardener) okay mum
Joy: but aunt,what happened to the gardener?
Mum: i want donald to do it?
Joy: (looked at me) alright aunt
I stepped out to trim the garden,i did my best.I was so
worn out after. I came in and i found mum and joy eating on the dinning table.
Donald: Just in time for breakfast (i pulled out a chair
to sit)
Mum: And what do you think you are doing?
Donald: To eat!
Mum: if you don’t want me to get mad at you,you better go and wash those dirty clothes of yours,have
your bath and brush you dirty teeths.You’ve been lazy
this days you know!
Joy: (laughs) no food for lazy guys
Donald: (i raised an eyebrow towards joy) alright
I was so hungry,i quickly washed the cloths in the washing machine and spread them outside.I brushed
my teeth and took my bath as fast as possible.After i
was done with all that,i went to the dinning,mum
wasn’t there.it was only joy who was fiddling with her
phone.I saw a glass plate covered with another plate
“that must be my food” i thought to myself as i opened it only to find a piece of paper which read “Go and
soak garri,there is sugar and groundnut in the
cupboard”
“Signed”
mum
I felt so sad because they all ate original agege bread,sardine sauce with confirm tea.She nah left me
to soak garri as morning food.I turned to joy who was
laughing at me,i know she knows about this.
Donald: You guys conspired against me right?
Joy: it’s all aunts idea,she was thinking on how to
purnish you for your laziness. Donald: (put my fingers on my chin,cause i know i’ve
been lazy all because of this girls issue) but that’s not
fair!
Joy: You better thank me cause she only wanted to
give you only garri but i begged her to add groundnut
and sugar to it. Donald: (Accepted my faith) I have no choice than to
soak garri.
Joy: (brought out a plate filled with sardine sauce and
four slices of bread) i kept this for you without aunts
consent.
Donald: (happy) thanks! you are the best you know! Joy: if i were you,i would quickly devore it before she
comes out.
I quickly devored the food and washed the plate so
mum won’t suspect me.Mum came out well dressed
with her hand bag.
Mum: i am off to work take care of the house donald.
Donald: (rolled my eyes) bye even if you gave me
garri to drink
Mum: (laughs) don’t be lazy next time and make sure
you study with joy,you know  your exams are
tomorrow.
Donald: Alright mum Mum left the house leaving only me and joy.I picked
up my phone and called Silvia to come over to revise
some subject
