BASED ON TRUE LIFE STORY
In the year 2002 a little girl was brought to the Extended family of ours. She was my senior in age.Her name was called Tracy. Her mother was late,her mother was a good friend of my grandma because of the good friendship they had she decided to bring this little girl in. Before she was brought they were complain about her that she a very good lier but my granny refuse to agree with them because the girl was looking so innocent and she said she can change her by good home training. On their arrival to the house, a man who was our neighbor saw her and felt displease in his spirit.He told my Grand Mum that this little child will bring chaos to the house.But my grand mum disagree again for the second time. Should i call the man a fortune teller or what because it actually came to pass which will be disclose as the story goes on.
In the year 2003, everybody in the house was familiar with her and love by everybody especially from my Aunt the immediate daughter after my dad.She was love by everybody that set their eyes on her. In the house we always say that she had a loving spirit inside of her which triggers people love to her. But the unfortunately thing about her is if any thing bad want to happen she will be the one it will happen to which got everybody wondering because the bad occurrence was continually continuous to her alone.
In the year 2004, as a catholic family,all the grand children including her was taken to Holy Communion Class which is well recognize by catholic. It was a normal doctrine of the family for everyone to attend this church classes.Because of the love our grand parent wanted us to have with each other we were told to call ourselves brother and sister even though we were cousins or relatives.The love between us was boundless,we all eats our food on same plate as a sign of love. Tracy was the coolest among all of us,she was the one with no blemish. As the only boy I was the rudest among all and the youngest. I was the one causing the trouble among ourselves, at times i was flogged for the troubles by my dad who was a stern person.
After our Holy Communion Classes, Tracy joined a group in the church which is called "Legion Of Mary"the name is mostly familiar to the catholic members.Tracy was very punctual and committed to the group.In the group she was given the president because of her punctualness and seriousness. Everybody in the house was happy about that and they where using her as a good example towards the rest of us to show how commit-less we were.
Not only she was committed to the church activities she was also a very good student that comes out with very fantastic grade.Due to good grades everybody was having high hopes on her to be somebody in life.My dad who was an Educationist called all of us the grand children and went into personal chat with us.He asked us what we wanted to become, I said i wanted to become an engineer,others said theirs and Tracy said she wanted to become a "Reverend Sister and a Doctor, I bitterly oppose the reverend sister ambition because i felt she was to small she haven't seen the sweet side of life yet and i told her she can't,it was like i was seeing the future which will showcase in the next ten years and we quarreled about it and even fought.But as a little boy i was at the dominance side even though she was a two years senior to me.
Everybody got tired of me and Tracy because we always fought which was caused by me because Tracy was a very cool girl.Any time we fought,my dad don't ask whose at fault, he was just start flogging me because he knows Tracy can't be the one causing the trouble,shes to calm for that.Even Though,me and Tracy always fought we were best of friends maybe the fight made us more closer. We do things together and i always tell her my secrets which was all about the girls i like and the one am crushing on.She was fun to talk to from the rest.
Tracy was through with her secondary school and also with the rest grand children. I was the only one in secondary school then because i was the youngest.She stayed home for a year seeking admission which didn't get. Instead of staying at home doing nothing she was to get a job that can earn some money.She bought to the idea and she went out submitting application for employment.God helping her,she got an Hotel job as a receptionist. My dad was not happy with the employment because he knows she will get expose in such sinful environment but everybody in the house had trust in her that shes a God fearing girl that can not get entice to such tin of the world.Our grand parent who was the head of the family gave her the authority to go do the work base on the trust and believe they had in her.
Not only everybody having trust in her, I also had trust in her because she was very close to me not knowing i was on the wrong thought.During our childhood she never had interest in the opposite sex unlike my rest sisters,that gave me strong trust on her,to the extend i use her to boast arround my friend that my sister is the most decent girl in the world not knowing the reverse was the case.My other sisters were seen as the bad sheep and she the good sheep.
She started the job as a receptionist,she was loved by everyone in the Hotel including the C.E.O of the hotel.Like i earlier stated before on my previous paragraph,she had a loving spirit which makes everyone love her naturally.
Whenever she collects her salary evrybody in the house we have a share of it. Everybody was happy with her because of her generosity. As her best friend,i was the one enjoying more,she buys me a lot goodies and that made me love her more.The respect that she was entitle to her as my senior started coming.According to an popular adage in Africa"Money Earns Respect". Due to her job activities she became occupied and stopped attending church,a girl that was very in love with the things of God.
Her Ex-classmate that was working in the hotel started making sexual approaches to her because she was pretty with fine skin.She told me about the approaches she had from her ex classmate. Then i felt angry and asked her if she fell into the temptwellation but she said "in her voice" don't i trust her,she can't fall for it that shes not that kind of girl and besides she still standing to the fact that she wanted to be a reverend sister.I was convince not knowing she fell for the temptation.The trust i had for her was 100 percent.
She went wide due to the exposure,but we were still not noticing because of the trust we had for her.she started going to work so early than before and everybody was bothered because we all know when she normally resumes her job but she gave a solid excuse which everybody believed her.Tracy started celebrating her birthday in a big way in the hotel.She started engaging in alcohol which nobody in the family got to know.Apart from her salary she was earning more money from customers who came for patronage.
Tracy got a boy friend who was a Dj in the hotel and a cultist.But she introduce him to me as a Dj only.I was the only one that got to know that she had a boyfriend because i was her best brother. Not wanting to break a secret i vowed not to tell anybody.I felt she can now have a boy friend because shes now 19 years,mature enough to have a boyfriend. For the trust i had on her i was sure she won't do anything nasty with the young man who was 25 years. For the second time i was wrong again.Trust blindfolded me and made a easy get by person.She stopped applying for admission and faced her work.years passed by and she wasn't ready to apply for school.
In the year 2015 during May, Tracy got very ill.An illness doctors couldn't find the name.Anytime she went for check up,the doctor we say her system is okay.We were like how will say such,her neck was swollen and she was complaining of constant stomach ache. Everybody was disturb about our most loved Tracy, so my grandmum started given her local herbs since the drugs administer to her wasn't working instead getting worst day by day. We also took her to church to he prayed upon by a pastor.
The sickness got very serious and Tracy started having a dis order in the brain.Every night we won't sleep because she will be shouting that they should leave her that she will confess. Everybody was scared including me because she was talking to someone but we weren't seeing them.She complained that they are flogging her while shouting. We quickly ran to the pastor house to call him to come pray for her, the pastor prayed and God over whelming power gave her a calm.But the continuous shouting continued night after night leaving me worried because of the sister love i had for her.
One faithful morning, she called everybody that she wanted to confess of her bad. She started with that shes very sorry because she knew the trust everyone in the family have for her especially me.She started confessing that she had 3 abortions for ex-classmate who was working where was working.Everyone shouted but she continued that she had a boyfriend who was a cultist and she had 1 abortion for him, not only that,she joined the cult of her's boyfriend.The cult members are chasing over her because she haven't brought her own sacrifice. Everybody was astonished because we weren't such evil scenario especially from her which was classify as the most God fearing girl.
Tracy asked for our forgiveness crying, regretting the mistake she had put herself in. A mistake that can't be reverse.We forgave her, if God almighty can forgive her who are we not to.The family showed her endless love.She was still disturb by this cult members.She gave her life to christ authentically and the bible was her favorite book.We made approaches to the devourers but they had nothing much to say rather than "They are sorry".
In the year 2016, Tracy mother's people who cared less about her got to know about her predicament. They came to the house and carried her to the village even though she was against it.They told us that she will get well there having the belief that their native doctor in the village can heal her of her sickness.
Unfortunately, we got the news that Tracy my beloved sister was dead, she couldn't make it.
The story left the entire family heart broken.But the good news is that she confessed and gave her life to Christ.And am sure shes in the bossom of the lord because the bible says and i quote "No man can go to heaven except being born again".
