Episode 1.
...December 2017.
Bodija meji pere(just two passenger rmore), 'i called out as we approached UI Bus Stop', but UI dry small today oo, i said to myself.
'Oga mi, gbera', i instructed after minutes of looking out for potential passengers and the ones inside the bus were murmuring already..
'Bodija', i heard just as i clung unto the side door. I hit the side door, signalling to my brother to hold on. I could swear i recognize the face but 'where' is what i can't seem to remember, 'Bodija, 50 naira', i said but she entered without replying..

'Wazo ni Bodija oo, i repeated as i entered, closing the door just incase she didn't hear me the first time, but still she didn't reply.
'Egbon, make we guage that left back tire if you see fooga(yoruba nickname for vulcanizers)', i said to my brother.
'Let's drop all passengers first, a maa guage e(we'll guage it).
We were almost at Bodija, with my head stuck out the window, differents thoughts ran through my head, will things ever get better, �‍♂️...

...I felt a gentle tap on my lap, bringing me back to earth, 'Is your name Joshua' she asked, yes, i replied..
'Joshua Akinpelu?' She asked again, increasing my shock�, 'yes', i muttered.
'I'm Ayo's younger Sister, you both graduated from UNIbadan, 2012
Oh, i remember AY, but the kain shame wey envelop me ehn, Ayo's younger sister back then, she gained admission when we graduated, chai, see my life!��‍♂️
'Wow. How's AY and you should be done now?', i asked feeling embarrassed.
'Bros is in UK now, he travelled just after graduation. And yes I'm done with degree, I'm doing my masters now'.

I was shocked but happy for them both sha, i almost got expelled because of Ayo, i wrote most of his exams for him.
I was caught twice but was lucky to be handed an extra year which resulted in us graduating together cause i was originally a year ahead of him...


...'My regards to him', i said putting myself together.
We got to Bodija just in time, we said our goodbyes, she paid 'n alighted, every other passenger dropped too.

Chai! God, where ur face dey??☹️��
'Can i get your WhatsApp number', she asked.
This girl wan give me heart attack today sha, 'i thought you left already, Gift', i said, more like a question.
We exchanged contact and she promised to call or chat me up, i took time to analyze her beauty/body as she walked away, chai!...

...Beauty and Money jam for one family sha, the babe make sense oo, i thought, but no be my league jhor and na my guy sister.
I returned to the bus smiling.
'Aburo, make we chop amala here before we roll again?', my brother asked.
'Oya nah, Egbon...', I replied though i wasn't very hungry...


...ToBeContinued.

Pls don't hesitate to comment, also to correct and condemn any error seen, WRITING ain't my field but with PASSION i hope to get better at it. Thanks ��‍♂️.

'Dirty Gold Episode 2'.

...Two Weeks after i met Gift, Life went on as usual, thugging through each day with my brother, David, the only piece of connection i have left on earth. Stories he told me of how our parents died when i was two year old still lives rent free in my head...

...I got up very early, it's a thursday and I've to clean both in and out of the old bus which fends us our daily bread.
Reminiscing my University days as i did the cleaning.����
...David didn't school so i could, he was on the ouside doing all sort of runs just to raise fund while i was in �,
Agric Economics with a First Class only for me to graduate with no job offer�. After a year of searching with no offer, i decided to join him in the transport business and we've been railing each day together since then. We donot have much but we get enough to see us through the bus maintainance, feeding and house rent.
These bills circles up to our income/savings in no time, damn, it's so easy to work hard and stay broke ��☹️...

...I rinsed both the sponge and brush with the remaining water in the bucket as i headed in to wake my brother..

'Egbon! Egbon!!', i called out as i tapped his leg, he shook my hand off, this is quite unusual, David wakes up before me most times if not always sef but this morning he was totally wrapped in the ankara we lay on the bed to sleep, 'with the kain heat wey dey this poorly ventilated room', i thought.
��.
I touched him again this time, he mumbled, 'fi mi sile'(leave me alone).
His voice was weak and his body hot, 'Are you ill, Egbon', i asked but got no reply. I added 1&2 in my head, took his wallet by his side, removed 1k and headed out in search of drugs to get him...

'Episode 3'.

...it's almost 6am yet it seemed like midnight, where do i go now in search of drugs to buy, chai! This bros no try oo, today of all days!!

Abi na which kain illness be this one wey him ill, i was vexing in thoughts when my lagbaja ring tone side_tracked me. 'Shey na Big Bros dey call me so?'...
...I asked myself while i brought out the phone from my back pocket, a strange number�, who could this be�, i picked the call and kept the phone close to my ear without saying a word�...

'Hello, Josh Good Morning', i heard a tiny angelic voice at the other end, but what fueled my confussion was the fact that I couldn't place the voice with someone i know...

...i don't have many if not any female friend na��
Who could this be??
...'Hi Good Morning, who's this?', i asked
'It's Gift!'
I checked the number before replying,
'but this isn't...'
'I know, sorry, this is my second line', she said realising my confusion...

...We talked 'n talked while i roamed about looking for a chemist/pharmacy store that could by chance have opened early.

...She apologized for not reaching out earlier and promised she'd come say 'HI' to us soon, lol, in my head i knew that was either a joke or flatter sha, cause i don't see how, why or which sef! ��


After about 1hr of roaming about with no luck i decided to head back home, hopefully he would be up or better by now...
��☪️✝️




...
I held him tight to my back while two of our neighbours held him steady behind me, running and breathing heavily.
'Bro Josh, let's wait and look for bike', i heard Cole(the guy living opposite our room) said but I decided not to hear or listen�.

My mind drifted back to five minutes ago when i entered the house hoping to see David on his feet preparing for the day already but instead i saw my brother(David) lifeless on the bed��, i moved close, noticing the awkward posture he was in, i tapped him severally while i shouted his name but got no response...��‍♂️
After touching his neck, listening to his heartbeat and feeling his breath by placing two of my fingers close to his nose, i realised David wasn't breathing��, DAVID!! I SCREAMED���.

I guess the shout invited our neigbours but i already managed to get him on my back, heading towards HAMDALAT HOSPITAL while Cole and Tunji ran after me...

I can't withstand my brother's weight on a normal day coz he's way more built than i am. He could lift me up without breaking a sweat, but in this kind of scenario, I couldn't feel, think or speak! I couldn't even feel his weight on my back but i noticed i got weaker with each step i took but couldn't stop still��‍♂️..

David's not just my only brother but only family too and the thought of him dying kept sneaking into my head each time i felt like stopping to rest. Damn! 'DAVID! PLEASE DON'T DO THIS TO ME!!' i screamed, bursting out in tears as we approached the hospital.

Episode 4.

...
I woke up with a' heavy headache�, i noticed alot of people walking around me, they all wore white and looked like Angels. 'WHAT! I made heaven��', i asked myself surprised...

...The images blurred out just as another blurred in, now I'm in a hospital bed, weak as whatever, Damn! I couldn't grab hold of the images well but someone i supposed is a Doctor/Nurse rushed to my bed checking my vitals, a lady sat by my bed, i tried sitting up but piiiiim, everything wiped out again�...

...I woke up feeling much better this time, a river of questions flowing through my head now, 'How did i end up on an hospital bed??', 'What happened??', 'How's my brother, David!'. 'DAVID!! I screamed, the thought of my brother brought me back to reality...
...'Josh, please calm down', i heard Gift's soothing voice just beside me. A million question in my head but thanks to Gift who was there to narrate the 'How?', how I' had fainted just at the entrance of the hospital with my brother on my back! How Cole had unlocked my phone with my fingerprint then called back the last call i recieved since none of the two guys know any relative to contact.

'Thanks Gift, I'm Grateful. And thanks for staying too', i muttered feeeling relieved after she caught me up with what happened, but David. 'So, How's David now?' i asked but she looked away.
'Will you eat now, what'll you like to eat??', she asked avoiding my question while avoiding eye contact too..
I smiled, held her head face_on to mine, 'I'm fine Gift, 'How is my brother??', i asked again.
I didn't need to be told �. Tears rolled down my cheek as she shook her head ��. My feet grew weak, my body sunk into the hospital bed.

And that was the one moment of my life i lost total control of myself and emotions. I went numb, physically and mentally. It took me 2months to get back to my normal self. It was then i learnt Gift had settled the hospital bills, she also made arrangements on how i successfuly buried my brother(David)���.

FINALE...


...She(Gift) insisted i do not return to our former apartment to avoid bad memories, she got me a two bedroom apartment at sango, here in Ibadan, she also fought her way through securing me a job in her Dad's Company. Which was hard and challenging with my zero years of experience in any office work or firm. But somehow, magically, Gift made it happen.
I owe Gift alot, my life and success among others��...


...And today, 22nd of October 2031 as I open my very own first Multi-million Dollar Agricultural company which i named after my brother 'DAVLARD AGROPOD LIMITED'...

...I was called on stage shortly to open and dedicate the Company, i walked slowly to the stage, each step at a time. I stood there with disbelief, 'This is better off a Movie or a Dream', i said as i got hold of the microphone and everyone laughed �.

I took time out to examine the crowd, AY in front alongside my pregnant wife(Gift), their parents, my start-up employees, neighbours and other well wishers. Memories of the dirty struggling days crept into my mind as i near the mic to speak again, tears rolled down my cheek, a gentle tap by one of my security guards brought me back to the room. He offered me an handkerchief which i took without hesitation.

I cleared my throat after massaging my face with the handkerchief, 'Today', i said calling for their attention, 'I'm dedicating 'DAVLARD AGROPOD LIMITED' to God, my beautiful and very supportive wife who took time to pick the dirts off my gold, my late brother David, A friend and Inlaw INDEED A.Y and to SUCCESS! In the name of the Father, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT we all chorused...

*****The END*****

This is my first piece of proper 'story writing' or whatever it's called, i hope it worth it.

I'm Happy and Grateful Guys����.
