Mr Bankole: Why are you late?

Donald: i woke up late sir,i’m so sorry.It won’t happen again.

Mr Bankole: please don’t let it happen again.I left some papers on your desk,type them.I need them urgently.

Donald: okay sir.

I quickly set to work and typed as fast i could.My phone rang again and it was joy calling.I’m just wondering if she doesn’t have any other thing to do.I ignored her call but for a good reason.In few minutes,i was done with the typing.I printed it out and knocked on Mr bankole’s door.

Mr Bankole: come in

Donald: (i walked) here are the printed work sir.

Mr Bankole: (collected them from me) sorry for yelling at you donald.My wife got me so upset.

Donald: sorry about that sir.

Mr Bankole: how much do you call the jamb form?

Donald: N7,500 sir

Mr Bankole: (counted N8,000 and gave it to me) go for you registration now.

Donald: (collected the money) thank you sir

Mr Bankole: come back and give me fit backs.

Donald: Alright sir.

I quickly got out of his office to a cyber cafe in that same complex.I filled all the necessary details for my jamb registration and paid my money.I collected my slip and jamb novel,My exam was due in two weeks time but thank God I’ve been reading but since i’ve moved into my new apartment,i haven’t picked up a book to read.Now it’s the time to do serious ready,the jamb form has been out a month ago but because of lack of money,i didn’t purchase it but i kept reading because i had hope.Finally,my hope wasn’t lost.Mr Bankole is a God sent.But i’m just wondering why joy didn’t purchase her form since all these days,why two days ago? hmmm i’ll ask her but that’s later.I quickly went back to work,back to Mr bankole’s office.

Donald: sir i’ve done the registration and this is the slip (i handed it over to him)

Mr Bankole: your exam is in two weeks time!

Donald: yes sir

Mr Bankole: you choose Unilag that’s nice and i have many connections there so you have no problem.

Donald: thank you sir

Mr Bankole: from now on,you’ll be closing by 5pm so you can read to prepare for your exams.

Donald: Thank.you so much sir.

Mr Bankole: you are welcome son.
i went out of his office feeling so happy.My phone rang again,it’s joy calling.

Donald: hello

Joy: i’m sorry

Donald: i should be the one sorry for ignoring you.I was just sad because i thought you are only my friend because of my condition.

Joy: ofcourse not! i like you just the way you are.

Donald: thanks,i have gist for you.

Joy: Gist me!

Donald: Come onlinw
I quickly logged in and gave her the full gist.She was so excited to hear the news.I also found out she also picked the university of lagos.i felt so happy chatting with her and judging by her response,she was also happy chatting with me.I was so engrossed with chatting with her that i forgot to type a document.

Mr bankole: Donald i need those papers now,bring them to my office immediately.

Donald: (rolling my eyes) uhmm sir i uhmmm mistakenly unplugged the system and i didn’t save the document before it shut down.

Mr bankole: (furious) Don’t tell me that!

Donald: give me 5minutes sir and i’ll get it to you.

Mr bankole: you better hurry.
i typed as fast as i could and within 10minutes,i was done.I quickly ran to his office to get the file to him but i was so shocked to see Mr bankole’s lifeless body on the floor. Jesus! i screamed.The secretary ran in to find out what was going on.

Secretary: what just happened?

Donald: i came in to give him this papers and saw him like this.

Secretary: (put her head on mr bankole’s chest) Aaaah! he’s dead!

Donald: no he can’t be dead (knelt down beside him) Daddy please get up! you are the only father i have,who else would take care of me? who else would support me? (i cried with tears rolling from my eyes)

Secretary: he is gone,let me call his wife.

She picked up her phone and called his wife.In some minutes,she arrived at the office with an ambulance.

Mrs bankole: where is my husband?

Secretary: (in tears) in his office.

The nurses and mrs Bankole ran into his office.The nurses carried his body on a stretcher and placed him in the ambulance down stairs.

I could see the pain in Mrs Bankole’s eyes even if she didn’t shed any tears.I myself was devastated knowing the fact that my helper is dead.Where would i start from? who would help me now? i was so deep in thoughts until the vibration of my phone brought me back to life.

Joy: (in tears) is it through that uncle bankole is dead?

Donald: i can’t believe it either..i went in to deliver some documents to him and saw him lifeless on the ground.

Joy: what would happen to your education now?

Donald: i don’t know.i’m lost and so confused.

Joy: i’ll call you back later (line dead)
