The Drummer Boy

The next day, i was feeling so happy at least
somebody will soon
replace Joy, somebody finer, taller, very beautiful
with a coka cola
bottle shape.

Woah i could not just fathom the joy. i
switched love songs at interval from queen of my heart to
breathless,
unbelievable, strong thing.

The list was endless as i
kept singing
while doing some chores.

My sister in-law that
something was up because she had not seeing me this happy but due
to the fact we
don’t rapport much she kept to herself. i called joy
to know when
she will be going to get her call up from school and
she told me the next day how time flies. i rested in my room for
a while
thinking how such a beautiful girl would have just
given me an
attention, talk more of going on a date with me. i
simply summed it up to how destiny wants us to know each other.

At about 11.30am i dialed her number, when she
spoke on the
other end, i could not hide my joy her voice was
angelic guess
God compliment her beauty by taking one angels voice and gave it
to her and made the angel deaf and dumb. i could
not wait to see
her. i fixed a date for 12 at tfc around ogba area.

Due to the fact
that i didn’t recognize her face very well, but i shall knew she was
beautiful, i asked her to tell me the cloth she was
putting on.

By
11.40 i was out from my crib, took a bike and
headed straight to
place.

Since i came first and so sure of myself, i took a site where
that is visible sipping a bottle of water to while away
time. i had
described where i sat, what i was putting on so its
wasn’t so
difficult to locate me.

While i sat down sip my water at interval, i
was carried away by the sport news that was being
shown on
CNN, that i almost forgot i have a date.

My phone
brought me back
to reality and when i looked at the caller its was her, i raised up
my head trying to look round, if she was at the place
already.
The first place my eyes scanned through was the
entrance door,
behold i guess she must have seen me first and just wanted to be
sure i was she one cos i have already place the call
on my ear
before she terminated the call and walk slowly down
to my part.

*shayo na bastards* i could not imagine this babe that has made
me trip so much turns out to be a nightmare.

The
only good thing
about her was her tone and height but the rest were
so off the
hook. Face filled with pimple with scattered set of teeth, slim,
small oranges and no a$$. Chei i don enter one
chance i said. i
still managed to keep my composure trying to form
a smile but
within me, i know can never see each other again.

Yes God created
everybody in his own image. Some are wonderfully
made, while
some are fearfully made.

This lady belong to the
class of fearfully
made. i ushered her to a little hidden area that still has a section
with ours and nobody was occupying that spot
because its just
about after 12 and sales are a little bit low within
this period.

While we talk i kept trying to form a good boy but still cursing the
highness that made me approach this lady in the
first place.

*shayo na bastards oh*
I went straight to the place order meat pie, i had
budgeted for something bigger but when i saw her, i gat reduce
the expenses to
her level. i took the pie to our table and within, i was
praying that
somebody i know do not just show up at this place.

While i looked for a means to discharge her as soon as possible.

But i guess that
day was not my lucky day of answer prayer. We had
not
discussed up to 5minute when somebody, i didn’t
expect just walked in.

Chei see gobe. In my mind i started
asking God for
messi, but i guess that day was not my day. Before
i knew it we
were face to face with each other.

Chei Its was my lead guitarist i saw face to face with a
very fine babe.

*you know the feeling you get when your babe is like
a monkey in
the midst human* i could not look at his face.

My
Badt drummer he said trying to tease me. My badt guitarist, i said
back trying to
fake a smile.

Hello dear he teased my date, what is
the name? My
name is linda she replied that was when i knew that
i didn’t even know her name.

LG: nice name. So what is the name of ur damsel, i
asked the lady
with him trying to fake a smile because i know say
this guy go
finish me with mouth. i’m tope she replied.

We shook hands and
they took a sit by our side.

The intimidation no be
here. They order
rice, chicken, salad and drinks (the babe was worth
more than that
jare). i could not look at his face, while he constantly
looked at a table
smile, and make some coded signs towards my
direction. i was
busy boiling inside while linda took her time to
nurture the meat pie.

*please note am not too fine as a guy but
beauty has class
and i knew my class was just above hers* while i
sat there, i
started day dreaming that Tope was actually the
lady sitted by my side while linda was the person sitting with my LG.

But hey! This
is reality am the person sitting with linda. i was not
too
comfortable with her while we talked and i was so
careful not to reveal any truth to her. i practically told lies about
everything.

Because i knew within me that ones we say bye-
bye, na the end
be dat.

Finally she finished we finished the meat, we
exchanged pleasantries with my LG and his date then we left.

Immediately
she got on the bike, i sharperly deleted her number
from my
phone.

Dialed joy’s number we talk for a while and
then i went home.
Getting home, i noticed that sister in-law was at
home, well with a
moody face i walked passed her and we exchange
pleasantly.

Went inside, took of my shirt and came to the palour to sit.

She
was watching a movie and me i no send her jor.

While she kept
watching the movie, i noticed she will steal a glance
at me but i
pretended not to be interested in what so ever she does. i was so
surprise when she asked why i was in a sad mood.
In my mind, i
was like what does this girl care about? Eh? Abi she
don dey like
me ni, then i remembered she saw me in the morning feeling so fly
and now am here feeling very depressed. i just told
her that i
missed a show i wanted to perform in.

So i have lost
some money.
Sorry the Lord will provide another one, was her response to me. i
kept your food in the kitchen she told me.

Eh food
ke! She cook for
me? i was so surprise because eating in that house
is like solving
a jamb question.

Its either you cook your own food or you go and
buy food outside or you take the easiest option,
which was stay
hungry.

Funny enough when she came, she kind of
copied what
the aunty does. *******Back forward************
Its not like i don’t like talking with people, its not like
i don’t want
to talk with my uncles wife, but sometimes women
can be very
funny.

Sometimes people do forget the background that they came
from, sometimes people thinks because the live in a
flat yeah life
is now all encompassing.

Sometimes people thinks
being wicked
is the ultimate, sometimes people usually forgets that a ladder is
also need to stay at the top and not to come out
only.

Sometimes,
many ladies feel ones am married, nobody should
disturb me.

And
this is the beginning of my story.
