I returned to the office dejected and reported to my boss. He gave me instructions to what to do and what not to do. I went to my desk to complete my task. But then I hated my boss and blamed him for my nemesis and mood swing.
I worked till 6pm and left for home still sad. So much for starting my week with a long face. Gosh how I hate mondays.
I got home, dropped my phone and briefcase on my centre table. Unbuttoned my favorite shirt and headed towards the bathroom for a shower. Once inside the bath tub I fell asleep. I woke up the next day still in the tub, I took my bath and prepared for the days work. My guys, two of them precisely who I share my flat with traveled for their sisters bride price payment. So I was alone. I dressed and switched on my phone. 3 sms came in. The first from 34250 "if you want to verify the colour of your shit each day send YES to 34250 @ #100/7days.
The second was from 4100 "To share a coke with Amadioha and Ogbanje dial 4100 to register"
Mehn I tire for mtn network and their messages. I deleted both of them and checked the third sms, from a number 07041966643 "Please call me ASAP, I'm sorry for my behaviour. Promise."
My heart literally jumped out of my skin. My very own promise. I dailed her line and it connected. She answered at the third ring.
"Good morning , Nel" my angel said.
"Good morning sweetest angel, how was your night?"
"Fine thank you. Yours?"
"Fine as well. Though I slept sad but I'm happy now. I can stay hungry all day if only I will be on the phone with you all day as well."
"At some point it might be itchy to the ear. Why don't I come around to your home now? Not the office cos am free for today."
"Wow. What? Are you serious? Just give me a moment I will call you back."
I ended the call and called in sick at the office. My boss said I could be absent for two days and make sure I call in healthy on thursday. I leaped with joy and thanked him. I called my angel and gave her my address. I got to work immediately. I swept, I cleaned, I moped, I rinsed, I almost licked my room to make sure it was in order for the arrival of my angel. I rushed to a nearby market and bought things to prepare stew with rice. It was 9am already when I returned and started preparing the meal. First, I per-boiled the rice and put it on fire. I proceeded to cut the fresh tomatoes and onions. I bought fresh pepper and I meant to grind it so I brought down my mortal and pestle which stays on top of my sink and cleaned it. I poured the pepper inside and started the ground. Few minutes later I don't know how it happened or what caused it but the pepper flew right inside my eyeballs. I was on fire. My ears were not responding for a while. I touched the things around me to see if I can get water to rinse my face. Unknowingly o dipped both my hands inside the mortar. My hands became hot instantly as if raw acid was poured on my skin. I heard my phone ringing. Sweat dripped on my forehead and in a bid to wipe it off I rubbed my hands on my face. I smeared my face with pepper. I screamed. I heard a knock on my door. I even forgot I was expecting my angel and the main reason why I started cooking. I was in pains. I didn't know what to do. To answer my phone if I were to find it? To answer the door? Where the hell is water when I needed it. I managed to trace my steps to the door because a second party could really be helpful. I was crying and sweating profusely. My skin was hot. Did I tell you I was naked? I don't think so. I undressed when I got back from the market to enable me cook without stress. I managed to get the door opened. And the voice I heard was enough to stop my tears but not to quench the fire.
"Jeez, what are you doing? Is this some kinda joke?" My angel said
I couldn't say anything. I resumed my wails of turmoil with hope that help is here and I will feel better soon. But the worst happened. She touched me. No, she slapped me and banged the door on my face. My angel left me. I fainted.
Mehn this aint no joy to me. I still asked WHAT IS JOY?

Dear readers its a weekly show and will be officially opened on Sunday the 19th day of April 2015.

One love

lukuluku101:
In NL lexicon, joy could be regarded as short for joystick.

Hahahahaha naughty you...

The joy I felt when I remembered the source of my joy.

It all started on a jolly sunday when I chatted with a pretty damsel and she promised to visit me at the office the next day.
The next day I whistled all through my stay in the bathroom. Once out, I took time to select my favorite shirt that fit so well you might think am going for a fashion parade and my pant was also tight. I applied my best deodorant 'Hug'. My roommates then were really surprised at my mood that morning. They teased me and asked me what was responsible. I couldn't get myself to tell them it. It was love.....
At the office I waited. All my customers were irritating. I never wanted to see anyone except my ghost friend who at a single thought of her I smile. My boss entered the office and sent me to get a certain software for troubleshooting a particular system. I sighed within me because I was not prepared to receive my sack letter yet. I told him alright but I got to pee first. I went outside and waited to see if she will show up but she didn't. I cursed under my breadth and regretted ever making a pact with her that I won't text or call. Her till when we meet. Yes, she gave me her contact but begged me not to call. I felt lost and angry. I went back inside the office, collected some money from my boss and left for the errand. Few minutes out a call came in to my phone, an unknown number. I picked and I swear it was an angel's voice, so sweet and melodious.
"Hello Nelson." The angelic voice said.
"Hi angel" I replied
"Wow. Do you call every girl an angel?" She asked.
"Not really. But your voice was quite captivating. It just slipped off my tongue."
"But who are you angel?"
"Promise, the girl you chatted with yesterday."
"Promise........wait promise, my very own promise? Mehn its this for real? What happened? I waited for a long time. I am out for an errand."
I asked myself how she was able to get my line because she refused to take it then during our chat. Her next speech answered my question.
"I came to your office, met your boss. He gave me your digits and I left because I didn't know till when you were going to stay out on the errand."
I ended the call without saying a word and switched off my phone.
The joy in my heart since morning I woke up died instantly. I asked myself what is joy? A still small voice within me answered 'Joy is what you want it to be....' She was my joy for the moment but now....I don't know what she is and I don't know what my joy is.

5 YEARS LATER

Paul and Steph were married with 3 kids. A girl and 2 boys. Paul always watched her every move. He never trusted her but they lived happily. They quarrel sometimes but still forgive themselves.

Ken married a hairdresser whom he impregnated and her family insisted he marry her. He still missed his love Steph.

Mary married a lawyer. They were blessed with 2 kids. 2 boys. She still sleeps around even with boys younger than herself. She was driven by sex and money.

Moral
Let love rule you, cos its the greatest.
Hey you reading this stop sleeping around. It won't add any value to your life rather make you look cheap, most especially we the female folks.

The story above is a true life story , it sure ended well but a lot didn't . They separate or poison each other. Just be careful.

THE END
Thanks for reading.

Paul felt ashamed of himself. Last night Steph caught him with Mary outside their room while they make out. He had not wanted it but was forced by Mary to do so. His phone rang and the caller I.D showed Steph. He couldn't answer the call because she didn't react last night when she saw them rather she ran back inside. Her act got him thinking whether she really love him as she claimed. He felt really sorry and remorseful. He loved Steph. He had sex with Mary out of lust, he never meant to share anything with her but his manhood did otherwise. He couldn't bear the shame anymore, he entered his car and drove to Steph's house. He needed to apologize badly to her. He arrived at her house and met her alone. Her eyes were swollen and he needed no soothsayer to tell him she had been crying. He apologized to her while he knelt down. She accepted his apology. He asked her to marry him. She said before she could give her answer she had a confession to make as well. She told him what transpired between her and Ken. She also apologized and said it was just a fling, nothing serious. She insisted that she felt nothing for Ken. She was just having fun. Pauk was hurt and her plea confirmed his curiosity to the reason why she didn't make any remark when she caught him and Mary. All because she was guilty of the same crime. Cheating. He found it hard to forgive her. But he had to. He needed to. Because she was all he had. But he doubt he could ever trust her again.

but she wants to play runs nah. Haba why is she sad

She loves him dats why

On monday Steph woke up and remembered she had left her dress outside after hand washing it. She thought she heard rain, just the first few drops. She didn't, it was just leaves rustling, but she was confused waking up like that. She got up and turned on the light. Mary was not in the room. She opened the bathroom and toilet, she was not there too. She let herself out, and went towards the clothe line to get her clothes. Then from the grass where there was a bush that had grown and spread, untended, two figures lifted themselves, didn't stand or even sit up, just roused their heads as if from bed, still tangled together some way. The door to her room was open so the light lit the yard enough to let her see their faces. Mary and Paul.
She never did get a look at what state their clothes were in, to see how far they have gone or were going. She wouldn't have wanted to. To see their faces was enough for her. Their mouths were big and swollen, their cheeks flattened, coarsened. Steph left her dress, she fled into the house. Hot tears filled her eyes, she couldn't believe her best friend and lover would do this to her. She blamed herself for her stupidity. She knew then that she didn't play her cards well. She loved Paul and was ready to marry him. Ken was just a fling. Paul was the real thing, her heartbeat, her everything. She was hurt all because of her stupid acts and for telling her friend all about her life. She went into her bed where she surprised herself by falling asleep. Mary never said a word about it to her the next day. All she said was, "I brought your dress in, Steph. I thought it might rain". As if she had never seen her out there. She let her think she had been fooled into believing that she didn't see her out there last night. That way, Steph was knowing more about what Mary looked like in the act of betrayal and pretending. She picked up her phone and dialed Paul's line.
