when I fell in love - Season 1 - Episode 4

At long last,it was already 7pm my closing time and i was already through with all the typing i had to do day.I saved them on the system and got up to leave,then the man walked up to me.

Mr Bankole: Already going?

Donald: yes sir.

Mr Bankole: you’ve saved the documents on the system?

Donald: yes sir

Mr Bankole: (brought out N1,000 note from his pocket) take this for your dinner

Donald: (happy) thank you sir (collected the money) goodnight sir.

I said goodnight to the secretary and left the complex.I crosses to the other side to get something to eat.That money was really God sent.I bought Akara and bread with a bag of pure water.I was so hungry that i couldn’t wait to get home to tear the food apart.While working home,i saw my sisters at a car junction wearing skipping clothes.I’m sure they were waiting for a customer.I just walked pass them and acted like i don’t know them.Atlast,i got home.I quickly dropped the pure water on the floor and opened the bread and started eating like a scarvenger.When i was done eating,Nepa brought the light and luckily for me,they haven’t disconnected the light in my room.I quickly located the bulb switch and switched it on.I scanned through the room and realized that i needed to buy fan,pot,bucket,stove,bed,Television etc but i’m so glad that i’ve started working and i’ll buy those things little by little.I checked my bag to check if my N7,500 for jamb registration is still intact.Then something crossed my mind which was,if i apply for jamb and i passed,i would have to quit my job and how would i sponsor myself to school? i think i’ll have to get a part time form so i can be working to pay my school fees and still be going to school but that means i have to wait for a whole year to acquire the money.There is nothing i can do than to wait for a whole year to get the money together.I kept on thinking about my education until i fell asleep. I woke up i checked my wristwatch,it was alread 7am.As usually i borrowed a neighbors bucket to have my bath.I got myself ready for work and i ate the remaining three slices of bread i didn’t finish eating last night.I looked at my wristwatch and it was already 7:25am.The walking distance to my place of work is 30minutes.I quickly tidyed up my room and stepped out as i locked the door behind me.As i was about to leave the compound,a woman approached me and asked for my own share of the nepa bill which was N370.I quickly gave her the money and headed to work.

Donald: (saw the secretary) Good morning ma

Secretary: Good morning oo what’s your name sef?

Donald: it’s Donald

Secretary: That’s good,you can call me miss patricia.

Donald: Alright ma (walked over to my desk)

Secretary: Mr Bankole said you should print out those documents for him.

Donald: (operating the,system) i’ll do that right away.

While busy battling with the printing machine,Mr Bankole walked in with some visitors.I heard a voice and i recognized that voice,i looked up and saw her standing next to a man i think is her father.Joy! i waved at her.She walked up to me.

Joy: Nice to see you again.

Donald: (laughs) you can say that again.

Joy: you work here?

Donald: yes ooo and why are you here?

Joy: Oh Mr Bankole is my uncle so my dad dropped by to say hi before we head over to church.

Donald: Church?

Joy: yes! today is tuesday which is Digging deep according to Redeem.

Donald: oh when does it start?

Joy: 6:30pm to 7:30pm.I wish to see you there.

Donald: i wish to come too but i can’t

Joy: And why is that?

Donald: i close here by 7pm and the walking distance to your church is 30minutes and the service would have been over.

Joy: (frowns her face) that’s true but would i still see you on sunday.

Donald: (smiles) sure!

Joy: Make sure you come with my chips oo

Donald: (laughs) you bet i would.

Joy: So how do you find this place?

Donald: (Bringing out the printed A4 papers out of the printer) it’s okay

Joy: hope uncle Bankole isn’t stressing you?

Donald: (smiles) not really.

Joy: (stares at me) you look more handsome when you smile or laugh.

Donald: (blushing) oh thank you.

Joy: Are you sitting for jamb?

Donald: No,what about you?

Joy: i just purchased the form yesterday but why aren’t you sitting for it?

Donald: Monetary issue.

Joy: What about your parents?

Donald: they don’t feel i exist and i don’t live with them either.I am responsible for myself.

Joy: That’s bad
