It's been 25 years now,a journey of loneliness has been the order of the day.
The journey started with both parents aligned together to pave the way for their son's future. But unfortunately,there was a break in chain of love. firstly; there was a break up in relationship of ten years. This has been the lifestyle of a typical African man. I never knew how they derive joy from doing it,even to the extent of going into another relationship.
Mother raised him till the age of 15,he bumped into a rich neighbor who promised to raise and train him like theirs. Along the line,he was later subjected to series of hardships. These never moved him because he felt it's the only way to become stronger in life. He felt that without challenges,no one will be worthy to be called a success (this is what we Africans believe though). It came to pass on a faithful morning that he asked for a little amount of money for his summer lesson fee. At first he was reluctant to ask,but he summoned the courage to do so. Had he known he should have not gone beyond his limit,if he knew what will be the outcome. But this was the response he received from he who promised to be like a father to him; "DO I LOOK LIKE YOUR FATHER!?". He was shocked and started sobbing.
He was destabilized by that word. Later he heard another from the wife, who says "NEVER IN YOUR LIFE GO NEAR MY PROPERTIES AGAIN". But why?,why so ash to a fatherless child. If you knew you have nothing to offer,why pretending to be more than who you are?
He later made up his mind and summoned the courage to leave and never look back on them any longer. He fend for himself,become heartless but never to the point of tyranny. This is what I have for you today,let us not pretend to be the person we are not. Show love to everyone that surrounds you for they are your cross!!!
