Chapter 1: When Enjoyment Turn Wahala

Rain dey threaten, but heat no gree cool for night.

Omo, na so life waka reach us. Hot sun still dey burn my neck that day, before wahala land. One minute we dey enjoy our own level, next thing, we enter another person story as if na film dem carry us go act. You know say those kind novels no dey play; wahala everywhere, but our own na different mission.

Chuka was assigned to help the fallen villainess find her way. Me, I was to look after the autistic physics genius. Just as we were about to finish our missions, the male lead showed face. In one night, everything we worked for just scatter.

The kain thing wey pain pass be say, after all the sleepless nights and wahala, this one male lead just show, do small gra-gra, and all the sweat wey we pour into helping these babes just lost like harmattan mist. E pain my guy, e pain me too.

My guy come meet me, say him no dey do again—make we just go house? I tell am, "If you go back, me sef go follow you go."

You know Naija friendship now, if my padi dey ready to pack go, I no go leave am behind. Guy code.

Later, the two of us die comot for that world. With our prize money, we waka everywhere, dey flex. One year later, na so the system reboot.

As we dey chop life, from Lagos nightclubs to chilling for Obudu Cattle Ranch, we think say e don end. But system wey dey track person no dey tire.

"Detected: male lead for the novel world don die. Target use abnormal means. Forcibly recalling hosts. Teleportation go start in three seconds."

Na so system voice blast like JAMB result SMS. I even dey hold small stout that time, fear grip me small.

Me and my guy...

Na only God know how we take hold our babes that moment, because three seconds later, as we dey hold fine babes, na so we land for front of two women wey don turn dark.

I no go lie, the way dem two look us, na fear catch me pass. If e be Yoruba film, by now jazz for don land.

The villainess tie my guy hand. "Brother, you no fit run again for your life."

The voice carry that kain rich Abuja madam energy. My guy just freeze, no fit talk.

The cold woman beside am just shut down the system for good. "Darling, you too."

Her eye just red, like pepper wey dem grind for market. For that moment, I know say wahala don jam us again. Life na truly turn by turn.
