Opracus: ahhhhh joy u disgraced me nd even put salt in my garri ahhhhh it unfair nd it to rude

abi na

The next day was the time to part waay with our house help,I gave each of them ten thousand naira to maintain themselves.


It`s august 1,the special day of life,the day that earned me my nice name(LEO)guess what?it`s my birthday.

I really organised and celebrated this like never before,it was my 20th birthday,i invited my friends,neighbour and well wishers,i wore a nice T-shirt designed my Dolce and Gabbana label.


After all sorts of entertaining songs which the disc jockey(DJ)played,one of the songs interest me and i am pushed by the music to express my feelings to joy for the first time...THE SONG WAS YES OR NO BY BANKY W.


I signalled to the d.j to stop and he did that instantly.
You are all welcome to my day,i am so much more surprised to see you all here,i said.

I want to make a great request from someone here..people shouted you are free to do so......cheers.

I called Joy,who has been very busy beside me with a charming smile,i also brought out a small parcel which contains ring.


Joy,you are the kind of person i am searching,you are not only beautiful but you are also considerate....blha blha blha...
PLEASE WILL YOU BE MY LOVE?


Everywhere was silent like a graveyard after my speech,people turned to joy,she didn`t utter a word.
I waited for minutes but she didn`t say something.....she later went out......


To my dismal,All our invited guest started leaving one after the other and that marked the end of my birthday party


This is disheartened,disgusting,dishevelled,disgraceful,
I thought within myself and I made a vow that Joy will pay for ruining my party...sigh!!!.



Keep following...TBC

After the dinner,i summoned the two housemaids and the gateman to an important meeting,Joy is also present in the meeting.

I want to thank you all for all you have done before,during and after my parent`s demise,i will forever be grateful to you,I paused.i glanced through their faces to know maybe their faces to know maybe their with me.

I continued,As i was made known,my daddy as paid all your salaries for the year.He employed you to be his worker but i don`t think i will need you anymore,I said...(silence prevailed for sometimes,i later broke the trend).


I regretted the action that led to my parent`s death because i don`t ever thought i will part witth you this way..as you all know it will be difficult to pay you,I retorted.


Gatemanspeaks in yoruba)oga,kosi problem,olorun a ran yin lowo

maid1:chai,i will miss you ooo

Maid2:oga Leo and aunty joy,thanks,i know you will make a good couple....please invite me on your wedding day.

(we all smile in surprise and they left afterwards except Joy.



Joy:whats your plan now?

Me:i don`t have any plans for now but you figure it out for me as always(we both smil)


I later noticed that Joy has fell asleep,i was surprised but i understood she has been through much stress early on just to make me happy.i dnt want to wake her so I carried her on my arms and went straight to her room,i lay her in bed and i left the room.


...........I know you don`t expect me to stay with her in the room@my loving reader.....



T.B:C

Opracus: correct ur mistake it joy nt rejoice bcus joy lives wit dem nt rejoice

it was aa huge mistake thatwill have destroyed the story....thanks so much,i will try n concentrate next time

Bad day for super eagles in south-Africa...s.a 0 vs nig 0.peace.

It is over,go and leave me alone,I retorted.

In the noon time,i was in the living room viewing the family photo Album after some concerned members of our church and neighbourhood has departed.Joy brought me a cup of Red wine to relax my nerves.
This is your favourite wine,she said jokingly.


On realising this,i made a joke of the whole thing,joy picked up her spirits and chatted on.

``You see,Joy,I am very happy with you.I am satisfied with life afterall.
All i ever wanted was someone who would look after me and care for me and i have the qualities in you,I said.

Sometimes parents forsake their children when they need them most,but atleast i would have you to shared everything with....

`oh, yes.you are right,Rejoice said.Ever since i met you,you have been the source of Joy to my life and i want you to remember how you wiped away my tears when you met me some months back.


I laughed and said to her.so you haven`t forgotten?she cuts in.I will never forget the day and all what transpired on it because if not for your kind gesture,i don`t know what i will be saying right now...


Should i talk about how you carefully narrated my ordeal to your parents of blessed memory or how you packed everything in your room so that i can own a room OR.............

That is enough,I interrupted,i will do anything to make you happy.ever since i met you,everything has changed for good,you have replaced the old reJoice i have and now i am joyful.

She was so pleased to hear this but the last phrase i said she didn`t know what i am trying to communicate to her.

I said to her,i am not drinking this wine because of you.
Because of me?how?she asked.i
I noticed you are not holding any cup..will you mind if i put this in your month i asked teasingly.I don`t mind,she answered.


I strecthed by hand towards her mouth and she drank little of the wine in the cup i held.
Leo,you have gave me hope after you met me,i now have my family with you(Joy dad and mum have been assasinated before i met her).
Thank God.there is hope for me too,I said.


Let me go to supervise those maids in the kitchen,she requested,i will escort you and i will be staying with you till later in the evening when you are about to sleep,I said to Joy.
W
WE BOTH WALKED TO THE KITCHEN.....



STILL LOADING...

continuation..........

I was in the agony of the demise of my parents for months and i thought,i can`t go over it even if many years passed..


Then Joy broke the silence,what is wrong this time?she pretented not to know what makes me sad and in much agony.
I didn`t respond to her silly words(I thought in my mind that her speech was silly)but i didn`t show any hitch because she is the only one left for me.



After waiting for a response from me but i don`t show any sign of replying,joy excused herself and went to her room.

The next day was a very bright and sunny day,music could be heard from almost every house except our house,even the Radio and Television was not turned on because the entire gadgets and people in our house are still mourning th death of my parents.



joy:Goodmorning,Leo.I hope you had a nice sleep,she greeted me.

Me:whats good about the morning i said..

Joy:hmmmmmmnnn,why are you out so early today? (I KEPT SEALED MOUTH).

Despite all i have done to frustrate her,she didn`t leave me and not annoy nor angry.

Joy:I`m sorry this not the right time to ask question,she paused.but i didn`t say something.
She continued,i was just trying to make you comfortable and so that you easily pass through this difficult time.

Me:why are you doing all this?i asked



joysmiles)because daddy said,i should take absolute care of you.

Mein anger i said)Is that all?

Joy:and because I......I.....

As she was about to say it,one of the housemaid approached us to delivered a condolence letter sent by our parish pastor who is in Abuja.so she wasn`t able to say it and the maid went away afterwards.

Joy:but why?
Me:sigh..i am...i mean...
Joycuts in)i don`t just understand but you just not yourself...Be always courageous to express yourself at anyplace.


After this last statement from Joy,i stood up,i was in thought that has this lady knew about what i`m hiding away from or what


That same night daddy summoned the family together for a meeting,we are just six in number in the house.If i haven`t mention it,i am the only child of my parent,we are having two housemaids with joy,my dad and mum making it six in number excluding the chief gate man.


He said,i will be travelling with mummy and it might take a while before they return..he told Joy to take absolute care of me...we both smiled(joy and I).


After 6 hours they had embarked on their journey,i was expecting a call from them to notify me about their journey but i didn`t hear anytin from them.

Whats wrong?i said when Joy rushed in, she told me there was a news they are broadcasting on T.v that there is an accident on calabar express road. I rushed to the living room and it was my father`s car that was shown..the reporter no one survived the accident.


I fainted immediately and became lifeless

Opracus: nice update keep it up more inks 2 ur pen

opracus,I`m really glad o...keep following.

After spending 3months with joy i grew to love her just as i loved Rejoice. The feelings of love is so clear to everyone in the house but i didn`t confess to the lady that i love her because i thought Rejoice may still return one day to take her place.


A year later,I heard nothing from Rejoice and her family has emigrated from our town..so i thought she is not coming again to me.

So i started waiting for opportunity to communicate my feelings to Joy...thought engulfed my soul and joy noticed this during our family dinner...

Joy:Leo,wats wrong?
Me:hmmmn,ntin.
Joy:there must be something,you aren`t eating yr food.
Me:i am not in the mood of eating o
Joy:but why...




To be continued.

CONTINUATION...
I was yelling and the Doctor said i am only feeling due to stress,which i don`t understand.


After two weeks i was discharged and everthing i was thinking is about Rejoice..where is she?and why did she travelled?.

I was on my way to church,when i met a lady weeping on the roadside..why are you crying dropped from my lips.she said her parents were killed last night,so she decided to run-away but there is no where to go.


I showed sympathy for her pathetic story,she later told me her name is Joy...Joy!!!,i exclaimed,I was searching for REJOICE,I SAW JOY....


We started chatting that i forgot going to church..i later took her with me to my parent`s house and i explained everything to my family and we lived as family since then....

seunviju: This dream nawa o

abi nw...everyone is a dreamer...dream is important in every man`s life..

After reading her letter,sadness engulfed my heart,I torn the paper and started to wept and some questions keep coming to my mind,why did she travelled?where did she went?when is she coming back.
I was busy thinking about this when i slept off...In my sleep,i met myself in a dreamland,i saw Rejoice`s family could never understand our love,so Rejoice had no other alternativeleft,so in my dream she commited suicide rather than getting married to some else.
After sometime she gave up her life,I woke instantly....

I was shocked!Rejoice,how can she die?is it possible..I WAS PONDERING IN MY MIND WHEN I SUDDENLY FEEL A PAIN IN MY CHEST...I was yelling and shouting when doctor and nurses rushed to the scene.

Continuation---.
Yes it was the biggest mistake that i did.After few days her brother located and found us where we are hiding,this day was the first day that i engaged in a fist fighting with someone.
Abelin,who is rejoice brother is fighting lyk John Cena and i was just standing in front of him lyk MR BEAN.There was a huge fight between us and Rejoice was watching as a spectator.
I was badly hurt and i couldn`t prevent him from taking Rejoice away.Due to the several injuries substained during my fist fight with Abelin,i was unconscious and can`t move.
Few hours later,i have lost a lot of blood amd i just heard,...Leo,what happen to you?.That was the voice of my mother,i wasn`t able to explain to him because they have been searching all around for me since i hv ran away with Rejoice

I was taken to the hospital and still unconscious.After three weeks when i opened my eyes i asked for Rejoice but no one was answerable to me.I later saw in letter dropped for me and it goes thus
my love,
How are you feeling now,i`m very sorry for what my brother did to you.
My purpose of writing is to tell you i will be travelling with my aunt.I am very sorry for leaving at this precious time you need me most.takecare.
yours in love,
Rejoice.

Soon we had to face many problems in our life when i came to know that Rejoice was the sister of Abelin i was shocked..He was our classmate but our relation with him was not so good.when he knew about my relationship with her sister he was furious and advice their parent to take her away from school,which they did.
3years After graduating from school i went for her again but her family was strictly against our relationship and they even locked her in the house anytime i came visiting.
It was being really difficult for us to spend a day without meeting eachother,One day i got a message from her,the text was lyk dis.===my love,i have being thinking of you all through,lets run away now...
She was thinking to run-away with me,In that situation i also thought that it was the right thing to do as her family would never be ready for our marriage..one night,I went to her house,took her and we both run away..IT WAS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE THAT I DID...

MY UNFORGETFUL LIFE STORY.
We were in college when i fell in love with this girl,it was her 1st day at school when i actually met her..i was attracted to her as she was the most beautiful lady in our university.I wanted to approach her but i lacked the confidence because she is from a rich home...
It was so strange that i had such feelings for her.as it is said `LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT`i think same thing had happened in this case too.I was in love with her and after somedays,i however summon courage and i managed to talk to her,she was not just beautiful but also a nice human being with a heart of a Gold.i came to know that her name was rejoice.
We started meeting eachother frequently and soon both of us confessed thay will love eachother.I was much more happier for myself as i got what i had wished for.we were enjoying in our own dreamland but life was not easy as we had thought...ALL WE REJOICE FOR WERE JUST FOR A MOMENT...
