The Don Dollars - S01 E04

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 4

The next morning I was in my room listening to Rudy boy song reason with me , when Grandpa walked in .

” I don’t really know your problem , you have listened to this same song over and over again . If you don’t listen to this Rudy boy song ,you listen to Victor AD’s song . I have been monitoring the kind of songs you listen to in this house . See let me tell you something , if you don’t get up and work you will never hammer get that to your dead brain ”

” Grandpa you won’t understand . I have applied for a job online and soon enough your grandson will be a bastard millionaire , I will get you a private jet to be flying where ever you want to go ” I replied Grandpa wearing a smiling face.

God knows I haven’t applied any, because the last time I applied job online was last year .

“I don’t blame you , I think I blame myself , if I had sent you out of this house the very time you came , I don’t think I would’ve been seeing your useless face anywhere around me . Your mate are hustling in the city and here in the village all what you do is to stay at home , dress fine and go around telling people where and where you work . Anyways I don’t blame you ” grandpa added.

I thought I have come to the village to rest my head up after all the city stress and landlord issues I never knew Grandpa’s wahala is really something .

” It’s better I go back to the city and go to jail ” I thought to myself wearing a sad face , just then Grandma walked in .

” Come to think of it Daniel, where is that your friend karasco ? ” Grandma asked .

“What should I tell them happened ” I thought to myself .

” Where is he ? I haven’t seen him lately too as well ” grandpa asked.

” I was on my own ooh, when he came and told me that he is sick and tired of the house that he wants to leave to their village , I tried begging him to stay but he refused Saying he will be visiting time to time ” I replied .

” No wonder the compound hasn’t been swept ” grandma replied in amazement.

Just then we both heard a knock on the gate , ” Daniel check who is at the gate ” grandpa ordered .

I hurried up and went to the gate and unlocked it . ” Morning sir” I greeted in a respectful manner.

” Morning my son, you must be Daniel that works in an oil and gas company right ? Wow, you are looking fresh and good. I like your hustle at least you are not like those jobless young men we have walking round the village hopeless” the old man spoke in amazement.

I became speechless as I couldn’t utter a word to him . I wanted telling him the truth that I don’t work in an oil and gas company . But with all his hailing and critics on the jobless young men walking round the village so I thought wisely to look different among them so I decided to reply him .

” Yes sir , it’s me . I came back last month to see my grandpa and will be going back to the city very soon. Am justing thinking of bringing this very building down to build a mason for my grandpa. That’s why am here . The last time I sent him ten millionaire for it, which he squandered God knows what he used it for . ” I replied the old man in a cracky voice .

. “Good of you , I wish I have a son like you not that useless good for nothing son of mine who has chosen to be a driver .anyways Is your grandpa in? ” He asked .

” Yes sir, he is in. you can come inside and see him ”

I watched the old man as he walked inside to meet grandpa .

” This man don’t know that his son is far, far better than me , his son has a job, a driver for that matter it least he is working what about me ” I heaved a sign and walked to the room .

Some minutes later I heard grandpa shouting my name aloud

” Daniel, Daniel ”

My heart began to beat , ” could it be that the old man has told Grandpa what I have told him about my work ?” I thought to myself as my heart beat kept on pounding .
