"What is this thing that is making you excited like this" Fadila asked but David choose to ignore her until he finally reached the gates.

"Are you ready?" He asked

"For what?" She replied almost instantly but David's infectious smile could be seen on her face now

"This!" David said excitedly as he opened the gate to reveal the car that was parked just a bit to the right.

      The Lamborghini logo shone under the sun and on the other side of the road, he could easily spot the teenagers and other children as well as some adults who were staring at the vehicle.

    Directly beside the car were three children whose hands could be seen on the car itself shouting "I claim it".

      Normally David would get angry considering how expensive the car was and how long it took him to wash it but he couldn't summon the anger. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

     He too had done something like that when he was younger and guess what, his prayer had come to pass. He now has a Lamborghini Urus that he could proudly call his own.

"David, is that a Lamborghini?" Fadila asked in surprise as she too went up to the car and began walking around it.

      Like he had done when the car arrived, She went straight to the logo and tried peeling it off after all everyone knew that Lamborghini produces luxury sports cars and not SUVs.

     Seeing that the logo wasn't burging despite all she did, a sense of fear began to develop in her since she had just literally tried to peel off the logo on another person's car.

"It is and it's mine" David said as he pulled out the key from his pocket and immediately opened the car to prove it.

"David!!" Fadila shouted in surprise

"Eh!"

"David, you own a Lamborghini?" She continued in disbelief

      Her reaction was truly understandable after all who wouldn't be surprised when their friend suddenly come along with such a high-end vehicle.

"How did you get it, this boy hope you didn't sell your kidney or something" She continued as she began making rounds around the car

"As if, if that was the case, why would I buy an Urus.... what happened to the Cullinan, it's just an extra seven million naira" David replied while Fadila simply stood and continued to stare at him and his outrageous statement.

"Did you just start seven million naira with 'just', this boy I can see it you're finally doing ritual abi?"

"No, don't worry about that. Anyway get in let's go" David said already feeling uncomfortable from the states.

"Oh, let's go" she said as she too quickly got into the car

     David who was watching her rabbit-like behaviour simply smiled and got into the car as well as he immediately drove off.

"No but seriously where did you get the money for this?" Fadila asked a bit more seriously now

     It was clear that the excitement had faded and she was now worried for her friend. A Lamborghini wasn't something that just anybody could buy, the cheapest went for over a hundred million naira.

      The 'David', she knew wouldn't be able to afford that unless he wrote at least five high perfoming books. One would do the job but that would take more time.

"I developed a game and turns out it is very popular" David answered

    It was technically the truth, just not the whole truth. There was no need to tell her about the Editor part of it all until it was necessary.

"How does that work exactly?, let me know if I should start learning programming as well" She asked as David smiled

"Don't worry, even if you have yet to agree... you are still my wife, what is mine is yours" David said as the girl immediately rolled her eyes but the smile on her face couldn't be hidden.

      He was making progress or well he has been making progress for a long time now but has not had the courage to take it any further.

"Stop it, be serious"

"Okay, the hard part in all this is creating the game itself but if that is done, you can either upload it for a fee on a platform like Steam for people to download or you create yours. After that you advertise the game and when you are ready, you release the game for download and watch yourself get rich as more people buy and download the game" David explained

"So basically you're earning true passive income"

       As for him, what he said was indeed true but none of that applied to him. This was true passive income and he had achieved it even though it was thought to be a myth.

"You can say that but I still have to maintain the game, ensure that everything plays well. Keep a watch for bugs in the game or new things I can simply add in to the game"

        As soon as David was done talking, he turned to see the girl, lost in her thoughts as she was clearly reevaluating her choices.

       As for him, what he said was indeed true but none of that applied to him. This was true passive income and he had achieved it even though it was thought to be a myth.

    Minutes later, they arrived at the supermarket which was fairly crowded as usual but thankfully, the place was large enough to make the people not feel conjested.

      Since they were here for groceries and Fadila wasn't really that much of an opportunist, the shopping was done quickly.

"Why are your thing in your trunk?" Fadila asked as she placed the small bag containing frozen foods in the trunk

"That is related to the second thing I wanted to show you"

"No, you can't be serious" Fadila said as though she knew what he wanted to show her

"Yes, I am" He said as he put in the dispenser refill into the car

"When did you even have the time to build one... now wait did you buy it, how much would that even cost, how much did this game actually earn you?"

"When I bought the house, three billion naira, now I rather not say" David said as they got into the car.

Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation!
