When I Fell In Love
 
EPISODE 9
 
Mum: your father has been cremated and his ashes
are here,we’ll spread them round the house tomorrow.
Donald: Alright mum
Mum: i’m so sorry that i didn’t believe you when you
told me about bisi
Donald: it’s okay mum
Mum: i saw you smiling at your phone when i came in!
were you smiling because of joy? Donald: (feeling disgusted) i am smiling because i have
joy and not because of joy.
Mum: What do you mean?
Donald: i met this girl,her name is silvia and i guess i
like her.
Mum: then what happens to joy? Donald: Who is joy? i don’t know her.
Mum: (surprised) what transpired between you both?
Donald: lets just say joy is so full of herself and i hate
people like that.
Mum: (raised an eyebrow) so that means you guys
aren’t in good terms? Donald: yes mum and we’ll never be!
Mum: why can’t you forgive her?
Donald: i have but i’m never speaking to her again
Mum: i’ll org-nise a meeting for the both of you
Donald: thanks mum but nevermind.
Mum: Wow! joy has really crossed the line this time! Donald: yes she has and please mum,don’t leys speak
of her again.
Mum: But you’ll see her in church tomorrow.
Donald: (laughs) she better not come close to md or
else she’ll regret it!
Mum: Alright then. Mum left me all to myself and as usual,i continued
with my chat.I used too like joy but now,all i feel for
her is more hatred.I am a simple person but i hate it
when people downgrade me so i feel it’s very stupid
of her to offend me and try to reconcile when i know
she will still hurt me again. Like style like style,It was already sunday.I got
dressed for church in a rich boy way.Mum
was,already waiting for me in the car,I stepped into
the car and the driver drove off.He stopped at joys
house to pick joy and her brother because their
parents leaves the house much earlier than them,they are pastors.Mum purposely let joy sit close to me and
her brother kept giving me a “back off my sister”
face.I ignored him,wetin concern me,i never wanted
to talk to the witch he call a sister.I ignored joy the
best way i can.Soon we arrived at the church,we got
down and i bounced into the youth church like a big boy.First comer things on point,all the ladies had their
gaze on me,the guys weren’t left out.I sat down on a
chair towards the altar so they could see me wella.Joy
came to sit beside me,she was feeling fly as if she
was my bae or something.God forbid.I gladly got up
and went to another sit,she felt bad but i don’t care. The service was going well,it was fun and
intEr×¢tive.Soon the preaching was over and the call
for new timer was made.I got up magestically from
my sit.If you see the eyes that followed me ehn,omo
nah die but wetin concern me.I still dengepo untop.
They congratulated me and prayed for me.They asked for my contacts so they could add me to the
church whatsapp group.After all that,they shared the
grace.I went to sit down in a corner waiting for the
adult church to close.Suddenly,different ladies and
guys walked up to me introducing themselves.
They asked for my contacts so they could chat me up.As i was exchanging contacts,i saw Joy walking towards me with anger.I knew she was up to no good but i
never knew what she was up too.
Joy: (walked up to me) Donald! give me my phone!
Donald: i am not with your phone!
Joy: i mean the phone i gave you that is in your hands right now!
Donald: What do you mean!
Joy: it means i am not giving you again so let me have
it!
Donald: (highly embarassed) take it easy!
Joy: (shouting untop of her voice) everybody you see this guy is a gold digger! a poverty striken wretched fellow! i picked him from the gutters you know,he is
thesame guy that wears tartered clothes here to sell
plantain ch¡ps.
I felt so humiliated that i didn’t notice the tears that fell
from my eyes.
Joy: (streching her palm towards me) give me my phone poor boy.
I handed the phone over to her,i looked at her with so
nuch disgust but i won’t accept defeat.
Donald: (in tears) you think because you come from a
rich family that is why you are barking like dog that has rabies right? (raised my voice as loud as possible)
All of you.listen to me,i come from the gutters yes! i
am a product of pr-stitution,yes! but i am who i am
because of my hærdwork.It’s not my fault that people
like me because of i am hærdworking and dilligent,and
they decided to help me (turned to joy) on like some people who are so full of themselves,they think they
own the world.Let riches be taken away from them
then come and see their shame.They would be more
useless than a used tissue.They won’t be able to
survive on their own,they depend on their parents
riches.Now tell me,what’s the difference? i am more different cause i have brain and i can use it to make cool cash unlike some people.
All the congregation clapped for me,i was feeling
really pained but i felt more happy when they clapped
for me.Joy was looking at me dumb foundedly.
I walked out from the church
 
I felt so bad and embarassed,i felt like running away
from all these troubles.I think i have a very bad
destiny,i just want to get away from all these wahala.I
kept on poundering over my life as i kept waiting for
the Adult church to close.I saw the witch coming towards me,immediately i boost like say i dey play
temple run but she kept following me.I decided to stop
to hear what she had to say so i could give her the
insult of her life.
Donald: What do you want this time?
Joy: i’m sorry
Donald: for?
Joy: Embarassing you
Donald: Embarassing me? ofcourse not!
Joy: (went on her kneels) i’m so sorry,please forgive
me
Donald: i don’t just understand you oh baby! you hurt me and then you say you are sorry,just go to hell and
let me be atleast i have given you your phone nah!
Joy: (brought out the phone) i don’t want the phone
you have it!
Donald: (spat to the ground) i prefare to die than to
collect this phone back from you! Joy: please donald!
Donald: So you can tell everybody that i stole the
phone this time and get me arrested abi?
Joy: (in tears) i was just jealous because you refused
to talk to me and other girls where exchanging contacts with you.
Donald: that’s your problem so leave me alone! (i
yelled at her)
Joy: i went through your chats and i saw a girl named
Silvia,is she your girlfriend?
Donald: Why do you want to know?
Joy: Donald i never thought i would get to say this but i love you
Donald: (burst into laughter) love? oh baby what kind
of stupid love is that?
Joy: i swear i love you that is why…
Donald: That is why you prove to me every single time
that you are the rich kid and i am the poor kid right?
Joy: Don’t take it that way?
Donald: Well Miss Joy Bankole,i appreciate you loving
me,it’s your headache.As for me,i don’t,i repeat,i don’t and i will never love you.
Joy: (held my clothe in tears) Donald you can’t say you
don’t love me! i know you do,bisi told me you do! Donald: (laughs) bisi told you? well that’s the problem of the both of you! as you can see,i have a girlfriend
and her name is Silvia.I love her so back off and never
speak to me again.
Joy: i will never let you guys be together i swear.It’s
either you love me or no one will have you. She walked out on me.
I decided to ignore whatever rubbish she was blabbing about.The adult church as closed and i saw
mum,joy and her bro walking towards the car.I ran
ahead to join them and i was angry because i had to sit beside joy again throughout the journey.
Joy was busy fiddling with the phone she once gave me,i knew
she was up to no good but as i tried to peep through
what she is doing,i couldn’t see a thing.She was bending the phone to the other side and i couldn’t see
anything.In few minutes we were home,there wasn’t
traffic on the road.We got down from the car and joys brother found his square root.
Mum asked me to esc-rt Joy home and i know she purposely did that because she could have dropped her off at home.
As joy and i were walking down the street,she k-ssed me
unexpectedly.I was about to yell at her but then i saw Silvia walking past us and joy laughing.
Then i knew she purposely did it.
Joy: (looked at me) now that bitch would know her
place!
Donald: (shaking my head) how i wish i knew how to
beat up a woman because i really want to beat you
right now. Joy: Then beat me!
Donald: if not for my mum,i wouldn’t have esc-rted
you.
Joy: blah blah blah! let me tell you something,your
forster mum is my aunt and she would be so glad if
we dated eachother. Donald: Joy! i don’t love you and besides,you have a boyfriend and his name is Daniel.
Joy: i have broken up with him.
Donald: And how is it my own business?
Joy: it is because i know deep down that you love me.
Donald: (arrived at the gate of her house) you better stop fantasicing over me..bye anyway.
i breath a sign of relief cause i can’t imagine spending
one more second with her.I quickly went over to
silvia’s place,she was really mad at me.
Donald: i’m sorry
Silvia: So you have a girlfriend? Donald: She isn’t my girlfriend!
Silvia: Stop lying! she sent me a text telling me to back
off,she also called me boyfriend snatcher.
Donald: Don’t mind her silvia,she is trying her best to
have me but she can’t.
Silvia: is there something you aren’t telling me?
Donald: i’ll tell you everything later,today is my fathers
funeral.
Silvia: okay then
Donald: bye! see you later
I left silvia’s place and crossed over to my house to
prepare for my fathers funeral
