Episode 4
Of course Cynthia understood the person
Joyce was talking about. She looked down
portraying the character that shows: 'Let me
think'. She looked up at Joyce again and
said, "I don't really know him"
"Is okay" Joyce replied and began to whine
up the glass.
"Excuse me, ma" Cynthia interrupted. "I hope
there is no problem"
"Oh, no, no problem" Joyce replied smiling,
then drove out. She was a gentle and nice a
girl too which was one of the reasons he
loved Nath at first sight. As she drove, he
thought on how to see him again. "I will
probably see him when i come back here.
I'm so stupid, why didn't i take his
number?" she concluded in thought.
Mrs Williams walked down majestically from
the stairs wearing an expensive attire. She
frowned her face when she saw Mento
discussing with her husband but her face
brightened when she drew closer.
"Hey, ehyo, Mumcy" Mento stood up and
gave her a motherly hug. "Good day ma'am"
she added as he disengaged himself.
"How are you, Mento?" Mrs Williams sat
beside her husband.
"Yo, I'm good mehn. I have been waiting for
Joyce but she's not yet here"
"She has gone to see her friend but she will
be back soon" Mrs Williams looked at her
husband who suddenly lost interest on the
conversation.
"Yo, i can't wait to see my damsel, mehn"
"She will be back" Mrs Williams gave a weak
smile.
Just at that moment, Joyce arrived, she
disdained Mento's car outside before
enterin the sittingroom. She greeted her
parents with smiled on her face then turned
to Mento who couldn't believe her beauty.
"Good day, Mento"
"Yo, baby, good day. You kept me waiting
why? You see my little angel, back in the
state, no one keeps Mento Josh waiting
mehn"
Joyce glanced at her parents who weren't
saying anything but smiling unwillingly. "I'm
sorry for keeping you waiting"
"Yo, baby" Mento looked at Mr Williams.
"Please sir, can you give me the go ahead
order to take my damsel out?"
"Of course, you can" Mr Williams replied.
"Dad?" Joyce looked at him. "I don't want to
go out. Even though i have to, not with him"
"Why baby?" Mento questioned.
"I said I'm not going out with you!" she
stood up and began to walk upstairs.
"Joyce, come back here!" the father shouted
but she kept moving until they heard the
sound of her door banged closed.
"What's going on here mehn?" Mento stood
up with his hands stretched in confusion.
"Uh.. Mento, you need to try again letter" Mr
Williams said with a calmed voice.
"Try again later? Mehn, I'm damn tired of
those words! I tried to call my friend with a
local network called MTN and all i could hear
was 'try again later'. And you are here telling
me to try again later too. Mehn! This is demn
serious!" he walked out angrily as Mr And
Mrs Williams stared at him. The 2pac music
began to blast loudly again as he drove off.
"You better settle anything you have with
Josh because i can't tolerate this boy's
nonsense again" Mrs Williams told her
husband. She hissed and walked upstairs.
#THE_NEXT_DAY
Nath resumed his work as a mechanic not
too far from his habitat. It was another
boring day without a customer. He sat at the
centre of the shop made with wood and
planks as the roof. It has neither a window
nor a door. Nath covered his face with a hat
as he slept on a wooden chair. Suddenly,
Cynthia saw him as she was passing. On her
hand was a sack bag and she wore a yellow
fairy gown. "Is that not the guy i helped
yesterday?" she thought. She stared at him
for a long time and continued her journey.
But her heart couldn't let her be, she
stopped again then began to go back
walking into the shop. She didn't know
what she was doing but she had the
feelings to talk to him. As she silently wanted
to enter the shop, she mistakenly matched a
metal which woke Nathaniel up.
"Uh.. I'm sorry" Cynthia said breathing
heavily.
Nath didn't say anything at first, he tried to
put away the sleepy eyes and recognise
who the person was. "How are you?" he
asked.
"I'm fine... Sorry for waking you up" Cynthia
turned sharply to go.
"Wait!" Nath interrupted her standing on his
feet. "What's your name?"
"No, don't worry, i wanted to know if you
can fixt our door before i realised you are a
mechanic not a carpenter" Cynthia neglected
the question.
"Is okay, i will still like to know your name"
Nath persuaded but she kept quiet feeling
her heartbeat. "Your face looks like the
person that helped me yesterday. Let me use
this opportunity to thank you again"
"Is okay, is nothing. You are welcome"
Cynthia turned again to go but Nath
interrupted her.
"What of your name?"
"My name is Cynthia. Cynthia Morgan"
"Alright" Nath smiled. "Come and sit down
nah, the sun is too hot for your complexion"
Cynthia smiled, "I want to enter a cab" she
said.
"That's the main reason why you should sit
and wait for one"
Cynthia kept smiling. As she was
contemplating whether to sit or not, Joyce,
whose car had a fault on her way arrived...
