When I fell in love
EPISODE 14
Finale
 
My phone alarm woke me up and i got myself
prepared to go to my exam center,it was already 8am
and my exam starts by 9am.I went to check on joy who was still sleeping,i tapped her on her shoulder to
wake up.
Joy: (yawned) i had a bad dream that i had HIV
Donald: it’s truly a bad dream,i just came to tell you
that i’m going for my exams and i’ll be so happy if you
also write the exam.
Joy: (smiled) i’ll be ready in 10minutes
Donald: please hurry up,i’m waiting for you.
I left her room to mum’s,i greeted her goodmorning.
Mum: you are off to your centre?
Donald: yes mum
Mum: What about joy?
Donald: She is getting ready
Mum: God be praised,i wish you both success in your
exams.
Donald: Amen,thanks mum
I left her room and i saw joy was already ready,we
both left the house.I decided to go over to silvia’s house to know if she was read,luck for me,i saw her
coming out of her house.
Donald: Good morning Silvia
Silvia: (sounding cold) Hi
Joy: hello Silvia
Silvia: (looked at donald) can we work faster? I knew silvia was not comfortable seeing joy with me
but i didn’t bother.Finally we arrived at the center,we
got settled in and after an hour,the exam started.It
was more simple than i thought,i was done with my
exams.Joy was still battling with hers,i decided to wait
for both her and silvia.Soon they were both through.
Donald: how was it!
Joy: though,i did my best.
Silvia: it was so simple
Joy: hmmmm
Donald: (moved close to joy and put my hand on her
shoulder) everything would come out fine. Silvia: (coughs) i’ll see you later donald,i want to see
my friend
Donald: Alright bye
Joy and i arrived home,we saw her parents waiting
for her.
Joys mum: (ran and hugged her) my child! thank God you are alive
Joy: (pushed her away and hissed) aunt! what are
they doing here?
Mum: they are here to go with you to the hospital
Joys dad: you never told us you had a boyfriend!
Joy: And who are you to tell me what to do with my life?
Mum: Don’t be rude joy! they are your parents
Joy: (laughs) they’ve lost that right since they
abandoned me.
Joys Dad: Jesus have mercy on my child.
Mum: let’s go to the hospital
Joy: if anything happens to me,i blame you two people
that call themselves my parent.
We all went to the hospital and joy waa tested,we
were asked to come back for the result the next
day,Everyone waa anxious and counting down till the
next day. Joy locked herself in her room through out.Her
parents came back from the hospital with the result
and with the look on their face,no one needs to say
joy is positive.I went to mum who was busy crying.
Donald: Don’t tell me she is positive
Mum: she…she is donald! she is! Donald: (tears started flowing down) that means she
would die soon.
Joys mum: (in tears) how could we be so careless
about our own daughter
Joys Dad: we were busy mending other peoples
family and we couldn’t mend ours. Mum: But how would ww break the news to her?
We saw joy staring at us as tears ran down her eyes.
Joy: (looked at her parents and scre-med) i hate you! i
swear i hate you!
Donald: (went over to joy to calm her down as tears
came down my eyes) calm down joy Joy: (Stared at me in the eyes) Donald tell me i’m
dreaming
Donald: (Swallowed my spit as tears kept falling from
my eyes) Joy it isn’t a dream.
Joy: (laughs) okay
She scre-med at ran out of the house,we ran after her.I ran as fast as i could Joy! Joy! Joy! i kept yelling
but she kept running.In a twinkle of an eye,joy was
crushed by a moving trailer carrying Dangote
cement.Joys mum collapses on the floor and started
crying profusely.Her husband tried to console her.I
couldn’t believe my eyes,soon after people garthered to watch the horror when an ambulance arrived to pick up her dead body.I couldn’t help but cry my eyes
out.”Joy can’t die like that” i kept telling myself as i
cried.Mum couldn’t hold back her tears as she tried to
console me.I can’t imagine life without joy,i thought i
hated her but now i know i really love her despite all,”Joy don’t leave me” i cried out.I couldn’t sleep at
night,i was expecting joy to walk through the door
once more,i didn’t even had the chance to tell her i
love her.When i fell in love,i never realised it until her
death.Silvia couldn’t believe her ears when she heard
that joy was dead.I kept flipping through the pictures joy and i took together as i cried,i read the last text message she sent me.I couldnt forger her last
words,it kept ringing in my ears “Donald tell me i’m
dreaming” i felt guilty for pushing her away.Though
she hurt me but i should have understood her better
and not judge her.Joy i am so sorry,i cant imagine life without joy.
Bisi couldn’t help but cry even though they were
rivals…
 
Episode 27
>Final Episode<
 
The jamb result was out i scored 320 and i kept waiting for the post utme. Soon it was out and i did all
the processing i had to do,and in four months time,i
resumed tertiary institution.Unilag to be precised.Luckly for bisi and silvia,they also got
admission into unilag.It was first day of lecture and i
saw someone who looked exactly like joy,as i was about walking up to her,i didn’t see her again. “i must
be seeing things” i said to myself.I got a call from
mum telling me that the next day is Joys burial.I’ve actually forgotten about it but since she reminded me,i
couldn’t help but cry my eyes.I’ve always been seeing
joy everywhere even in my dreams.I tried to put myself to sleep but i couldn’t,when i close my eyes,i
see joy and her smile.I tried to get her out of my head
but i couldn’t because she is in my heart.The alarm of
my phone woke me up,it’s saturday already and no
lectures.I stepped into the bathroom to have my bath,i
saw joy standing in the bathtub,i cleaned my eyes to see if i was dreaming,but joy wasn’t there.I quickly
had my bath and wore my clothes.I went to the girls
hostel to call Silvia and bisi,We all boarded a bus
home.My mum took us to the cementry where joys
family were waiting with the pastor close to her coffin.I saw that jerk of her boyfriend,Daniel.
I felt like killing him because he caused Joys death.And the
bastard was busy crying crocodile tears,i felt so
irritated.The pastor started his sermon but the phrase
that caught me was “Dust we came and dust we shall
return” i cried.Her coffin was opened,everyone
started crying.I couldn’t dare look at her face.Her coffin was lowered into the ground,and we were
asked to pay our last respect.Her family members poured sand on her coffin as they cried.
I was my turn
and i was holding a rose.Tears fell from my eyes “I still can’t believe you’ve left me,i never had to chance
to tell you this,i love you joy but it’s too late.When i fell in love i never realized,i thought i loved silvia not
knowing it was you.
If only i could turn back the hands
of the clock.Rest in peace my love,till we meet again” i
said as i k-ssed the rose and threw it on her
 
coffin.
Soon her coffin was covered with sand and we
all left the cementry  and since that day,i never saw joy again not even in my dreams.But i’ll never forget
her as i journey through life,I LOVE YOU JOY
