when I fell in love - Season 1 - Episode 8

I had to leave the office because everything has ended for me.I’ve got to search for another job to sustain myself.I hate to admit it but i just wasted money to register for Jamb.I would have just refused the offer if only i knew my helper would die,What a pity.As i was about approaching the last stair that led to the entrance of the complex,Mrs Bankole stopped me.

Mrs Bankole: You are Donald right?

Donald: (surprised to see her) yes i am.

Mrs Bankole: (smiled and hugged me) don’t leave me,you are my only hope.

Donald: (curious) i don’t understand!

Mrs Bankole: my husband told me a lot about you before he passed on.I’ve loved you as my son even without seeing you,don’t leave me too.Don’t leave your fathers business,help keep it alive and i promise to fulfil all the promises he made to you.

Donald: (speechless) uhmmm

Mr Bankole: (in tears) please move in with me.

Donald: (surprised) uhmmmm-uhmm

Mr bankole: My son don’t say no.I see you as Temidayo.That was the name i planned on naming my child if i had one but now God has blessed me with one,which is you.Temidayo please stay with me.

Donald: (feeling so sorry for her) okay Mrs Bankole.

Mrs Bankole: (Smiles) call me mum.

Donald: ( swallowed my spit) okay mum.
She gave me a hug and pecked me on my cheeks.I felt happy because since i was born,my so called mother has never hugged nor pecked me.She usually curses me.I’m sure Mrs Bankole would be the mother i need and i’ll try my best to make her happy.What a pity that Mr Bankole died,i have already started seeing him as my father.Well i am now the heir of his company,i thought my life would be over but God made a way by giving me a new mother,Mrs Bankole.

Donald: let me go home and pack my things first.

Mrs Bankole: i’ll drive you there.
We got into the car and drove to my house. We drove into my house and i quickly brought out my stuffs,including the N7,500 I’ve been keeping for myself.We drove out after i have finish packing my load.While on the move,i fell asleep in the car.A tap on the shoulder woke me up.

Mrs Bankole: My Son!

Donald: Mum,are we home?

Mrs Bankole: (laughs) yes my son.

Her house was so beautifully big.She has a dog,it was running towards me and licking my body.

Mrs Bankole: it seems jerry likes you.

Donald: its name is jerry?

Mrs Bankole: yes.

Donald: (bent down to the dog) hey
Whoa! Whoa! The dog barked.

Mrs Bankole: lets go in.

I followed her into the house.The house was so great!

Mrs Bankole: let me take you to your room.

I followed her into the room.Men! the room was enormous.

Mrs Bankole: (sobbing) i use to reserve this room for my son but you are now my son,so you’ll stay here.

Donald: thank you ma….uhmmm i mean,thank you mum.

Mrs Bankole: Let me go and get you something to eat.

Donald: where are we?

Mrs Bankole: this is V.I my dear.

Donald: (smiling) Is joy living here?

Mrs Bankole: (laughs) she also stays in this estate but her house is two streets away.

Donald: Can i know her house?

Mrs Bankole: We’ll go after you’ve finished your meal

Donald: (Happy) Thank you mum (stood up and gave her a hug)

Mum left to cook me launch.I was so happy that i’ll go and see joy and i don’t know why.

Donald: (Smiling) The food is delicious!

Mrs Bankole: Thanks my son.

Donald: (Anxious) can we go and see joy now?

Mrs Bankole: (raised an eyebrow) why so sudden! or is there something you aren’t telling me?

Donald: mumsi it’s not that i’n hiding anything from you,Joy is the only person that understands me and she is also my friend.

Mrs Bankole: Oh i see! Anyway,lets go and say hi to her.

We both stepped out of the house and drove to joys house.We pressed on the house bell button until someone came to open the door,i guess it’s joy’s brother.

John: (gave Mrs bankole a hug) Aunty welcome!

Mrs Bankole: (Walked into the house) where is your mum and dad?

John: They were headed to your place to pay you a visit.May Uncle bankole’s soul rest in perfect peace. (Sobbing) He was the best uncle in the whole while world.

Mrs Bankole: (ignored what he said) Where is joy?

John: She’s in the garden with her friends.

Mrs Bankole: Take Donald to see her while i head back home to see your parents.As for you Donald,i’ll send the driver to come pick you up in the evening.

Donald: Alright mum
She left while john stared at me mysteriously.

John: (looked at me from hair to toe) And who are you?

Donald: I’m joy’s friend.

John: And how are you related to Aunty lizzy?

Donald: She is my mother

John: Mother! Aunty lizzy never had any children i knew off.

Donald: Why not ask her yourself.

John: that’s rude you know!

Donald: Aren’t you going to take me to see joy?

John: (Sat down on the sofa and picked the Tv remote) find her yourself.

Donald: i’ll report you to mum

John: (laughs) Gold digger.

I was so hurt with that word that i felt like hitting him but i just walked out.I got outside and tried to locate Joy.I heard voices,so i traced it.

Donald: (sported joy in company of two guys and a girl) Joy!

Joy: (Surprised to see me) Donald! how did you know my house?

Daniel: And who is he?

Joy: He is my friend (turned to me) Daniel meet my friend Donald,And Donald,this is Daniel.

Daniel: (put his hands on her waist) i’m her boyfriend

Joy: (feeling uncomfortable) come have your sit Donald.

Just hearing the word “BOYFRIEND” is making me mad but i kept my cool and decided to have my sit.

Joy: Who brought you here?

Donald: Your Aunt.

Joy: Aunty lizzy! where is she? i can imagine what she is going through now.

Donald: Abi oo

Daniel: Sweetheart lets go to KFC.
