CONTINUATION OF CHAPTER 1 ***** Few houses to our house i sighted a lot of people outside our house, standing in groups discussing "what is going on there?" i ask no One in particular. I moved closer, now i could see everybody clearly but i notice they were all carrying sad and mourning face.but the one that caught my attention was mummy kemi, our neighbor she was crying bitterly.Millions evil thoughts ran through my mind .has any bad thing happened to her but actually if anything to her she would not be crying outside our house "No God forbid " i silently pray that no evil thing should happen to my mom. From nowhere a strange wind blew into my direction given me a bad feeling. I was afraid with anxiety and fear on my face. Mummy kemi sighted me,she ran to meet me where i was standing,she quickly wiped her tears. But i could see it clearly on her face. "mummy why are you crying and what is happening here? " "nothing Ekundayo just follow me " I followed her.one woman who was one of my mom age mate cried out loud immediately she saw me coming.Her statement caught my attention "Aah why this woman? Why she has suffered alot" My saliva dry immediately,i released my hand from mummy kemi grips as i ran straight to our house. On getting inside i met many of our family members in the sitting room weeping. " you are welcome my son have your seat " our family head said but my mind was nowhere but just to see my mom.without listening to family head order,i head straight to my mom room but

CONTINUATION But i was seized by some strong men who carried me back to the sitting room. I struggled to loose my self from their grips but but i was weak. Pa oye the family head asked me to sit down "you see my son God who is cooking the soup has not left the kitchen " he paused a little before he continued " my son i know you will become great in future but you have to leave today behind and face the future" After a lot word of encouragement my mom death news was broken to me " Nooooooooooooooohh" i almost shouted the house down. The world has come to an end for me. I was restless. I demand if i may see my mom corpse the agreed bu i was followed by the two strong men that seized me the other time. "momma " i cried when i saw her corpse tears filled my wet face "momma am back from school " i said but no reply. I prayed silently expecting something miraculous to happen, but alas nothing happened. I was devastated. I groan in pain as i held my dead mother cloth. I cursed my life and the day i was born. I cursed God who allowed such a evil disaster to befall my family. The two men who were with me in the room ushered me back to the sitting room where all the family members were waiting for me

CHAPTER 2 (FEBRUARY 18 1974) Everything was still like a dream to me. I silently prayed to God that if everything about my mom death is a dream he should please wake me up,But alas it was not a Dream. I can't control my tears that day my Joy finally left me. Every attempt by the family friends to console me proved abortive,so they let me be.I was devastated but later on it dawned on me that all my tears can't bring her back to life. The night before the incident, she complains that she was weak and having slight headache. She took medicine she even drank the concoction she prepared two days earlier. That morning i even suggested she rest at home,but she insists of going to the farm because there is no food at home. I even suggested i follow her but she was so adamant " my son go to school i will take care of my self " i eventually surrendered to her wish. How i wish i was there with her on the farm she would have not die. When she became tired and week, she decided to rest in the nearby hut but she fainted on her way with nobody to help,until after one he was seen by a passerby. Throughout my stay in school that day i was restless, sensing some bad omen my friends even my birthday teacher noticed that i was Not happy " Dayo any problems?"they will asked " No problem am fine " i would reply them instantly. But deep inside me knew i wasn't okay,until i met the unexpected at home. My mom was eventually buried on February 17 1974 . On the 18th, by 4pm all the family gathered at our house for family meeting, even my uncle , uncle Jimi who based in Lagos was around for my mom burial. Every members of the family were present in the meeting. Pa oye presided over the meeting " I greet every body for honouring my invitation for this meeting, my prayer is the next time we will be gathering like this it will no be for sorrow event like this. " they all chorused Amen. "I called this meeting because of Ekundayo," everywhere was silent as they were looking at each other face. " i know you may be wondering what the urgent meeting is all about. We All know that Ekundayo mother who happens to be her only hope is no more is no more. And we are the only family he has left. We have to take care of him " everybody nodded affirmatively in agreement with what pa oye has said. Pa oye seeing they all agreed with him smile as he continues his speech. Meanwhile i was sitting calmly on the chair beside pa oye. "that is why we the elders have decided to put Ekundayo under jimi care this means Ekundayo will follow jimi when he is returning to Lagos". I can't believe my ears, me follow uncle jimi i was happy and at the same time sad. After everyone has finished talking i stood up to address the whole family. " I greet everyone present for this meeting i appreciate you All for your love and care. Am also happy at the decision of the family but " all eyes were on me as if i want to pass judgement . Me too i was surprised at them. It was pa oye who broke the silence " But what my son, tell us we will respect your decision " " Sir like i have said am happy with the family decision but i will be writing my waec in six months time " " That is not the problem my son Jimi will take care of that,even to the higher institutions " pa oye added " but my mom has paid the money for the waec" " she only paid little out of it" i heard mummy timo ( Timothy ) saying "what? " i was speechless

CONTINUATION OF CHAPTER 2. " what " i was speechless Mummy timo is a teacher is the bursar of my school . This woman was the one who told me my mom has paid for the waec, but i was surprise with what she was now saying. " Yes it is true i told you your mother has paid for the waec ,but i only did that according to her instruction, so that you Will be rest assured and prepared well for the exam" i was shocked " she only paid #5 out of #21 of the waec fee, but she promised to balance the money before the exam "she added. I became weak immediately as i sat back on the chair . There was silence everywhere for like two minutes, until pa oye broke the silence. " As you can see now, you have no option than to follow jimi to Lagos " jimi what do you have to say" uncle jimi stood up and address the family " I thank the whole family for everything and i promise that i will take care of Ekundayo to your satisfaction and. As God will help me" Everybody was happy with uncle Jimi response " jimi we are proud of you. We believe God will help you on the behalf of the entire family we want to appreciate you for your cooperation and understanding ,thank you very much " After the meeting i was asked prepares everything ready because i will be leaving with uncle jimi as early as possible the next day.

CHAPTER. 3 FEBRUARY 19 1974 I woke up as early as possible by five to make everything set for that morning journey. Thank God i have already packed all my cloth into the Ghana must go bag,mummy timo bought for me yesterday evening. I looked at my father's house very well for the last time. tears gulped down from my eye immediately i remembered everything that happened. I went to my parents grave outside because they were buried beside each other " momma and papa I believe you are resting in heaven ,but please keep watching over me as i go to Lagos ,i promise to be celebrating today as a remembrance day for two of you not only that, i promise to come back and rebuild this house in your memory i love you momma papa " i cried five minutes before i eventually leave the grave . By 5:30 i was at uncle jimi house he was just bathing that time i waited at uncle jimi Peugeot 504 car till he finished bathing. That car was something else if you were born around 1974 you will understand how expensive the car was then only one person have Peugeot in my town then apart from uncle jimi.By 6:05 we zoomed off to Lagos . What a Beautiful morning. The sky was blue and glamorous. The birds were singing soronously up the sky, the air that was coming into the car was natural. The tall trees by the road side did beautifully with the air,by making it fresh . The journey was a little bit stressful but at the same time interesting. Being the first time of going to Lagos i was happy. I remembered yomi my classmate who visited his father in Lagos during the first term holiday in our ss2 . I could remember vividly how he boasted of visiting cenema going to the beach, how he visited his father gangantic company in ikeja. Though we all knew yomi to be a good liar, but because we have not been to Lagos before we can't do anything but to look In admiration. Yomi is a loquacious notwithstanding i and my other classmates became jealous of yomi. " finally i am going to Lagos " a little smile escape from my face which uncle jimi noticed immediately " dayo what is wrong and why are you smiling? " "nothing sir i amjust happy because am going to Lagos " "oooooohhhhhh" he said faintly The journey was nothing but Tickety-boo even though the Peugeot was slow but i enjoyed every moment of the journey . We stopped at osun state around 1 pm to take our lunch in one of the food seller joints popularly known as Bukar. My uncle ordered for four plate of pounded yam two for me and the remaining two for him with egusi soup and a bush meat. Ekiti people we like pounded yam. Within the next five minutes we have get rid on the food my uncle ordered for another two plates for himself , by then i was rounding up my second plate " is that one okay with you? " i quickly nodded no, they brought me another two plate. " God see enjoyment " i said to my self " I will enjoy my self in This Lagos " i said to my self smiling only if i knew the disaster that awaits me in Lagos. . After ten minutes we resume back our journey to Lagos. But we stopped at ibadan to buy fuel. Ibadan is also a big city Finally by 5pm we arrived lagos i was dumbfounded at the sight of the enormous buildings that filled the street. Most especially the companies buildings My uncle pointed to the company he is working with i saw boldly written on the gargantuan building " BAMS FOOD LIMITED " Wow this is where My uncle works , i could not say anything but look at the COMPANY in admiration. My uncle stopped by the road side to buy some snacks and bread before we continue our endless journey i was already tired. Finally we stopped in front of one beautiful bungalow . After horning many times that look endlessly a girl around 8-9years came to open the gate. Little did i know stepping into the house is the beginning of my problems We drove into the garage as we entered " Daddy " the little beautiful girl screamed as her dad alighted from the car and embraced her " How are you my little angel " " I am fine daddy what did you buy for me. " " i bought your favorite biscuit dayo bring the black nylon bag from the back seat " i quickly gave my uncle the nylon bag , as the little girl staried at me i could see anxiety on her face.i guess she is wondering who i am. " where is your mummy?" " she is cooking inside the kitchen " my uncle carried his daughter inside leaving me outside to battle with the heavy luggage in the boot. I eventually succeeded in unpacking the luggage from the boot after three minutes . I met my uncle and his wife in the sitting room. With their daughter consuming the biscuit before him " good evening ma" i greeted. My uncle's wife stared at me for 5 seconds before she eventually replied me. I guess she was expecting me and at the same time not happy to see me " how are you? you are welcome " my uncle noticed the worried look on his wife face " this is Ekundayo my late brother's son" " ooh you are the one" she said faintly with a frank face " Ekundayo meet my wife Florence and my daughter iyenede" " carry your bag to the second room at your left side that is where you will be staying " he added "alright sir " i carried my bag and head straight to the room. The room was little dusty but i get rid of the dirtiness within ten minutes. After that i shower before heading to the dinning room for dinner i was wowed at sight of the jollof rice before me. At home i only eat jollof rice once in a year and that will only be on Christmas Day apart from when my mom went to a ceremony , that is the only place i eat jollof rice from. I rushed the food into my mouth as fast as my mouth can contain even though the food was hot, i like it like that. I slowed a little bit when I noticed my uncle his wife and daughter were staring at me as if i was a criminal . I was ashamed of myself i felt like living the dinning but for the food sake i stayed behind until i eventually get rid of it . I resume back to my room after the dinner but i was call by my uncle some minutes after. " Sir you called me " " have your seat " i sat down on the cushion chair ,the sitting room was painted in blue color with blue carpet. There was a black and white television on the shelf at the left hand side . " You are welcome to our house feel free, this is your house as well. your late father who was my brother was a good person and the only thing I can do to repaid him is by taking care of you ,so by next week Monday you will follow me to where you will be schooling so that you can write your waec. I promise to sponsor you to university because your father made me who I am today " i was overwhelmed with joy when I heard my uncle saying this " thank you sir and ma i promise to do my best for you and your family and i promise never to disappoint you in my exam " i thank my uncle as i resumed back to my room jumping but i noticed my uncle's wife was not that happy with what my uncle said because she was silent throughout. "well my uncle decision is final " i said to myself . only if i knew who is Ruling the house.

CHAPTER FOUR The first week in my uncle's place was interesting i was well taken care of by my uncle and his wife. They treated me like their children, i felt the parents care again from them, they were wonderful. My uncle even took me to their company Bams foods limited .the building keep surprising me how on earth were they able to bid such a big company. "well it may be built by a white man" i concluded within myself .From there to the beach. In short my first week in my uncle house was fantastic. My uncle was the only sibling of my late brother. My father collected a good 8 years from my uncle. My father withdrawn from school because there was nobody there was nobody to sponsor him ,his father was no more. The mother is only trying her best to provide food talkless of sponsoring someone to school. so my father took up the role of father and sponsored uncle jimi To school together with the help of my late grandma before she passed away. From secondary school to tertiary institution my father was the one who sponsored uncle jimi. But something happened that almost turned two blood against each other. My late father was not in support of my uncle marriage with his wife Florence. It was not as if my father hate her , but she came from a tribe that was forbidden to marry from in our family. Uncle jimi on the other hand insist on marrying Florence. This infuriate my father so much that he decided not to attend his wedding. But due to the intervention of the family the family storm was calmed but my father was not happy with the marriage. He attended the wedding even it is against his Wish but was forced by the family. Looking at my uncle's wife someone will see clearly why my uncle bent on marrying her. She is fair in complexion with a seductive curve to be candid she was a goddess .she came From edo state but was born lagos, this makes her to understand and be able to speak Yoruba, even though her Yoruba is not fluent. Their daughter was as well beautiful as her mother. I woke up lively on Monday morning as early as 5:30 something about that day is special yes i will be returning back to school so that i can write my waec that is four months time . I dashed straight to the kitchen after a little fake prayer to wash the plates. By 6:15 i was done with the house choruses. By that time my uncle was awake likewise his wife, i saw her as she heads to the kitchen, i heard her muttering something to herself, i guess she was surprised i woke up so early this morning I quickly took my bath and resumed back to my room expecting my uncle to call me that it is time for school .i waited endlessly for my uncle to Call me but alas nothing happened, i concluded in my mind that may be he is not yet ready. I was still pondering with my thoughts when i heard my uncle calling me from the sitting room " yes i am finally going to school " i said to my self. Only to get to the sitting room and met the shock of my life

CONTINUATION OF CHAPTER 4 I met my uncle ready for work, his daughter was in her school uniform ready for school too. I guess I was the one delaying them. " sir you called me " " yes i do " he paused for a moment before he continue " Ekundayo to succeed in Lagos call for the survival of the fittest . I and my wife have another better option for you. Although it may not augur well with you but that is the best for you now " I was confused with what my uncle is saying i could Not get a single thing from his word. But i noticed his wife was smiling where she stands "Ekundayo today you will stay at home but as from tomorrow you will be Hawking soft drinks so that we can gather enough money for your waec " that is the only worst i want to hear i was shocked " hawking me? God forbid " total confusion was written all over my face .i feel like crying At that moment. Moreso i need someone to explain something to me. " Ekundayo i know you are shocked " my uncle wife said coming closer to me this time, " but we are only trying to help you " " help me how " i asked my Self " you see life in Lagos is Not that easy but you have to wear your trousers very well to survive. Don't panic over a little things, the truth is that you will write your waec. To admit student here is very easy, not only that every money you make, i will be saving it for you tertiary education" she added. I was bit relieved with what she said but not yet convinced " Dayo my wife have said it all, you should be thankful to her, because everything was her idea " So she was the one who cooked the whole idea " just make sure you deliver the money to her so that she can help you save it. Definitely next month you will go back to school i promise you that " now i was finally relieved that is what i want to hear. I believe my uncle and his wife notwithstanding they are trying to help me " thank you sir and ma i promise to do my best and deliver the money " " that is a good boy, you are a true son of your father just behave well see you in the evening " "yes sir" I resume back to my room after my uncle has left, but my uncle wife called me few minutes later " in as much you are not doing anything for today go and take a cutlass in the store and clean the bushy area at the backyard you hear " she said evilly "Yes ma" as a good boy i quickly dashed to the store to get the cutlass before heading to the backyard.

CHAPTER 5 The first three days of my hawking was miserable and disgusting, i hardly sold above five bottles and during these three days there is nothing that will spared me from a hot round of insult from my aunty. Well i must tell you this that my aunty was once working in a biscuit factory but she was linked to mismanagement of fund by some members so she was sacked From there. Ever since then she has become a full house wife. making my uncle to be the only person providing for the family. Something terrible on the second day of my hawking, A bus coming from my back almost knocked me down, but i narrowly escaped but two bottles of coca-cola broke along the process. the driver of the bus didn't even favoured the situation, he just zoomed away cursing me. " you want to die,go and die in your poor father house idiot" i heard the driver saying this. Well such is Lagos someone has just to be meticulous. I felt like crying that moment but i had to cheer myself up in as much i will have enough time to cry at home. The house was hell that evening when I arrived home, the house could no longer contained me and my aunty, so I have to run out of the house and wait for my uncle to come back. My uncle was also angry with me when he came back. Truth be told I saw his red eye that day. " don't you know the cost of that two bottles you break " i could not utter any word but I was wondering if this people value bottles more than my life, i even sustained some injury but they didn't care. After about thirty minutes of hot insults, My uncle warned me that, it should be the last time such will happen. This did not augur well with my aunty as i heard her from their bedroom swearing that i will pay for the broken bottles. I was denied my dinner that night, and i was seriously hungry . I sneaked into the store after everybody has slept to get some garri because the worms inside me were waging world war three against me . The third day too was worrisome because i could not sell more than five bottles again. The sun that day was so hot that the cold soft drinks became hot soft drinks. After hawking about five hours i decided to rest under one empty market stall, there were some fierce looking guys opposite the road i guess they were bus conductor. I was at this place when the unexpected happened.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

CONTINUATION I woke up fifteen minutes later to discover four bottles out of the seven that remains are missing, i didn't know the time i started rolling and crying on the floor. " my aunty will kill me today" that was the statement i was shouting. The passerby were just looking at me as if they were watching television. Nobody could help me, i was devastated why would my dead parents allowed such evil thing to happen to me, i have for long time lost faith in God ever since my Mom's death because I believe he never exist as some claim. After about thirty minutes on the spot crying a fair in complexion girl came to my side " my name is Ella what is wrong with you and why are u crying? " i could not do anything but burst into another round of tears " stop crying i want to help you" i was surprised " help me how this little girl impossible " i muttered to my self Ella was around 5.4ft tall she was not that robust her physique was okay, looking at her she will be around 16-18years old. After i explained my ordeal to her but to my amazement she laughed at me herrastically . " you must be new in this Lagos i guess? Because if Not you will not be sleeping not even resting like you have said in this dreadful place " " by the way is that why you are crying like a baby? " I was a bit angry with her question with the way she was smiling, i guess she came to mock me too. She noticed the anger on my face immediately. " I am sorry if my question sounds so rude i am only trying to help" This time i voiced out " how? " i asked keenly " well as you can see i am also selling soft drinks. I. Will replaced the stolen bottles for you" for the first time i leap for joy definitely my dead parents must be at work. I was so happy that i even prostrated for her "hey stop that Don't embarrass me " " you won't understand " i replied. " but" my joy halted at that moment but what again "but what? " " you will repay me, don't expect me to give you Four bottles for free like that " my joy at that moment was that somebody was ready to help me out of my predicament not minding what i have to repay. " i will do anything to repay you just tell me what you want i promise to do it " " you promised ?" "yes i do" " okay I will tell you but not now. And not only that you must meet here tomorrow so that i will take you to the area where you well sell very well " " Definately this girl is an angel " i concluded within myself. We agreed to meet at the same spot tomorrow after she had gave the five. Bottles. I bade her bye as i scuttled down straight to house because it was after five and i have to report every day to my aunty by five . But that didn't spared me from that day insult,but I thank God someone was able to replace the stolen bottles for me because if not I will not be able to come home that evening.

CHAPTER. 6 I woke up early to do the house choruses, i was in happy mood that morning, even my uncle and his wife noticed it, they were wondering why i am that happy that morning to be able to finished all the house choruses before 6 " Ekundayo hope you are okay ?" my uncle asked " i am okay sir i am just happy" i replied sharply The couple were just looking at me in surprise that morning , Well they will not know why,. My mind was nothing else that morning but just to meet Ella " i will surprise my uncle and his wife today that I am not a good for nothing boy as they were calling me " i concluded within myself. My aunty did her worst that morning by serving me a small plate of rice for breakfast, instead of getting angry i thank her for the food, with this she was totally surprised. I quickly finished the breakfast and carry the bucket without saying bye to my aunty as i made my way to junction Ella asked Me to meet her. As i scuttled down the street i noticed that the sun was brighter unlike any other day, the air that was blowing that morning was cool and fresh that looks unusual especially in Lagos that is jammed-packed by thousands of people. I made up my mind not to branch at any place even if they called me my mind was where ella is taking me to. By 9am i was at the same point where I was robbed yesterday this time around i was very careful not to even sit down as i wait for Ella. I was at the point for One hour waiting for Ella but alas she is yet to arrive. I made up my mind to wait for another 10 minutes, but yet there was no sight of ella. I was crazy with myself by this time, assuming i know she won't come i would have followed my normal routine not only that i would have sell up to two bottles now. I was cursing myself and at the same time cursing ella for deceiving and wasting my time. " but wait why am i cursing her she helped me yesterday, moreover she will loose her bottles " I was about leaving the point when i sight Ella afar with her bucket on her head " hey dayo good morning " she greeted but I didn't reply she noticed i was angry but quickly apologize for not adhering to her promise. " i am sorry it was my mom who sent me an errand " " okay shall will start going" i asked absentmindedly " i can see you are still angry with me i said i am sorry " " i have heard you lets go this is 10:40 i have not sell anything " " Alright let go" She said as i followed her majestically at the back like a king. " but i hardly know this girl i am following ,hope she is not a ritualist?" " no she is too young for that even her face look so innocent " .Ella noticed the look on my face and smile .with this i was more worried

CONTINUATION Well my impression about Ella was wrong, she turned out to be the most wonderful creature i have even met in my life. I finished selling all the 12 bottles after about three hours of hawking, it was like a magic. Actually Ella took me to the main street of ikeja the place was more rowdy unlike my area. We were on our way coming home when the weather change, the cloud in the sky was now forming a little darkness " the rain is about falling we have to be fast" I heard Ella saying, but even if i run the rain will still beat me because my house is very far " i can't escape the rain " i informed Ella " why?" "my house is still far ahead"i said "but you can branch at my place " What her place hope this girl know what she is saying, i should follow her to her house ,no i can't. " Don't worry i can see you are afraid nothing will happen to you,just follow me our house is not far from this place " after alot of pleading from Ella i agreed to follow but not until she promised me nothing will happen to me. After running like four minutes we eventually arrived in front of one small shop, by this time the rain is already falling, notwithstanding we were beaten by the rain. A light in complexion woman came out from the shop without anybody telling me she is ella mother because the resemble each other " why don't you come home when you see the rain forming? " " we started coming home when we saw it" i was looking at mother and daughter as they were arguing. This time ella mother was looking at my side i guess she was wondering who am i. " good afternoon ma" i greeted as i looked at another side " good afternoon my son " Ella noticed the look on her mother face " mummy this is Ekundayo my friend we used to hawks soft drinks together. " so you intentionally allow rain to beat this innocent boy " her mother scorned her before facing me " i am sorry my son, hope you are not feeling cold now? " i nodded my head signaling no " oya Ella take your friend inside and set up the stove so that you can warm yourselves from it,i will join you after packing all this thing inside " . I followed Ella innocently as we ran inside, the rain was falling heavily this time. We entered their face me and face you apartment. We entered the last room from the left, which no6 was written on top of it .Ella dropped her bucket and mine at the door step before we entered. I sat down on the chair as Ella mistakenly or should I said intentionally off her cloth before me,remaining pant on her. What i saw before me was something to behold, I didn't notice all this before because I was More concerned about me selling all bottles of the soft drinks. Ella was curvaceous in nature i wondered how a little girl of her age could possess such a shape. I quickly controlled myself especially the little thing under me, This time Ella turned around facing me with her gangantic firmed bossom. Gracious God i swallow hard my saliva as i watch Ella gracious body in admiration, she noticed the look on my face and smile " this girl must be a Jezebel" i concluded, not only that ,she is not even ashamed . This time she has put on another cloth she came forward to my side carrying stove smiling " why are you staring at me like that? " " what? " i pretended as if i didn't hear her " i saw you staring at me lustfully the other time " " me no i am not" ' don't worry ' She set the fire on the stove as two of us stretch our hands on the stove. Ella was looking at my face smile, this girl is indeed a Jezebel i quickly changed the mood by asking her the most shocking questions of her life, how i wish i did not ask, well it is not my fault, it is a necessity. " what about your Dad? " Ella countenance change immediately wearing a sad look " what is wrong and why is your face so hard " " alright don't worry again " i said relaxing on the chair. " i will tell you " Ella finally voiced out. Ella narrated her ordeal as her looked at her in shock. Ella father sent her and her mom out of their house when she was seven years old because her mom was an illiterate , ever since then her father has not asked about their well being, so her mother has been the one taking care of her, she narrated how they have suffered in their village when her mother's family turned against them, simply because they were not in support of Ella mother marriage to her father, they accused her of marrying for greediness. It was after they gathered some money in the village that they relocated back to Lagos and their present apartment. I was sorry for Ella, i could not behold the tears on her eyes, i did not know when i drew her closer and give her a warm kiss. I quickly disengaged from her when i noticed what i have done " i am sorry it is Not intentional" i said as i withdraw back. Ella noticed the guilty on my face and smile " it is nothing " she said amicably. Her mother entered few minutes after. " hope you are okay my son " " i am okay ma" I waited for a long time waiting for the rain to stop but alas the rain keeps falling. I was shocked when I checked the time on the wall clock 5:50 " Jesus " i shouted. Ella and her mom were surprised at me " what is wrong with you " Ella quarried " my aunty will kill me today, i have to be on my way home now " " you can't dayo the rain is still falling heavily outside " " yes i know i will enter it" " my son why don't you wait for the rain to stop i will escort you to your house " Escort What? This people want to kill me be that ooo. When they see they could not stop me, they let me go but not after i have eat a plate of hot eba and egusi soup there, the most funniest part of it was that i and Ella eat from the same plate, i enjoyed the moment, but i don't understand myself again it is as if i am falling for Ella. " no God forbid " i quickly rejects the thought . I left Ella house exactly 6pm as we agreed to meet at our normal junction tomorrow. The rain was seriously pouring heavily but i had no choice, the sky was totally dark now but because of the street lights and light from some shops i was able to find my way home. I was afraid when i get to our house i opened the gate as i tiptoed to the door i noticed that my uncle car as already packed inside the garage, this is really double problem for me i knocked the door three times before iyenede opened the door. I met the angry couples waiting for me in the sitting room without anybody telling me what to do i quickly go on my kneel. My uncle came toward me this time around with a fierce looking face, the last thing i heard was ' gboaaaaaaaah' Jesus i screamed my uncle gave me a hot slap that almost makes me blind " give me the wire inside my room " i heard my uncle saying, my aunty dashed straight to the room to get the wire, truth be told I was given the hell beating of my life, i was screaming all through the demonic beating. My uncle stopped after he was satisfied. " you want to kill us as you kill your parents right, God forbid if that is the case i will get rid of you first idiot " i was sobbing this time around because the pain i was feeling was unbearable " where did you went to? " my aunty asked without reply " are not the one she is talking to or you want to get another round of beating " my uncle thundered " i branch somewhere when i the rain started " " idiot so you didn't see the rain coming by the way how many bottles did you sell and where is my money? " I brought out the money as i hand it over to her " i sold everything ma" She was surprised likewise my uncle " you sold everything? " "yes ma" i replied She was smiling as she counted the money " hope it is complete? " my uncle asked " yes " she replied smiling " now go inside and bath before you eat your dinner" " which dinner he is not eating anything tonight for what he did" I feel like crying when she said that. " this woman is really wicked " thank God i ate eba from Ella place, she must not know about her. I resume to my room as i reminiscized about everything that happened at ella place, seriously i am falling in love with this girl. Story continues I am sorry for the short update i promise to update more as possible, Apology accepted?

Accepted please more of it

The worst will soon come... Since she didnt appreciate the effort u make sellinq the twelve bottles.

CHAPTER 7 The relationship between i and Ella keep growing everyday, we were greatly found of each other, some people would even think we were twins, only few that know us not to relate call us husband and wife. I and Ella keep meeting at our joint every morning before we go hawking, the most surprising thing was that there is not a single day i won't sell all the bottles finished. Not only that everyday after hawking i will branch at Ella house to rest before heading back home. But not until I eat my lunch there. Ella mum Was very caring especially when she learnt that I am an orphan. She sees me as her son ,sometimes she will even joked calling me her in-law. Ella and her mom were God sent angel to me, i truly believe that my parents were not asleep in heaven. My aunty was more hostile to me as usual, she hates everything i does, if i sweep she will asked me to sweep it again. If wash plate she will complained that the plate is not yet clean. Even if i sold all the soft drinks finished she will never appreciate, well I am saving for my school. But it was already after a month they promised me that i will returned back to school but yet i have not ear anything from my uncle nor his wife. I guess they were still gathering money for me, but sometimes I doubt them, how can my uncle be working in a company and cannot afford my school fees, " is school fees in Lagos that much " Even if it is big i believed my uncle can afford it, but i seriously sensed his wife was the one hindering him. I remembered one morning i confronted my uncle about my school, he was so annoyed that he almost teared me apart, i quickly apologize that i just want to remember him " you are stupid for that, is that how you talk to your father idiot. Let today be the last time you will address me in such manner , school ko school ni" he said in Yoruba before storming out. I was devastated that morning , but what is wrong in asking my uncle about my school arrangement. The last straw that break the Carmel back was in the afternoon that day , i was around i didn't go hawking because my aunty was little weak. I was sent an errand to buy vegetables in the market, only to come back and meet one woman in her late thirties, without anybody telling me she is definitely my aunty friend. I greeted them as i entered the house , the woman replied me absentmindedly before I head straight to the kitchen to dropped the vegetables. " so my friend you don't tell me you now have a house boy " " house boy ke? or are you referring to that idiot " " he is the son of that same man " " which man?" "my husband brother now, the man that didn't want me to marry jimi" i heard my aunty saying as i hide under the curtain eavesdropping them. " oooh you mean that crazy man that God will punished man " " God has already punished him for me, i am sorry i didn't tell you that he is now late together with his reckless wife " " their souls will not rest in peace, they didn't want you to marry jimi whom you have suffered with " I was crazy where i was standing ,anger was written all over my face i just felt like killing two of them in the sitting room, but i heard a tiny voice like my Mom telling me to calmed down " control your anger my son " i heard the voice saying. " But why did you allowed the boy to come here in the first place " " it was my husband who went against my wish to his stupid mother burial, it was there the family asked him to bring the idiot with him to be leaving with us here " " but you should have sent him packing " " i am still working on that friend it is just a little time " " what about Frank " " he is fine " what i heard from them after was their wicked laughter, and i also heard them calling someone fool but i am not sure of the person. It was after this the unexpected happen ,my aunty called me " you want him to poison me " " no he can't it is inside the fridge " My aunty asked me to get a bottle of fanta and a cup for her friend. I heard straight to the dinning where the fridge was, i noticed the so called friend of my aunty was looking at me with hatred, Yes the unexpected happen ,i was coming from the dinning when i step on the banana peel my aunty was eating when she sent me to an errand making me to slide on the floor. I didn't know how it happened but i just saw myself falling down in the sitting room breaking both the bottle and the cup. What i heard next was gboooooooaaah my aunty gave a thunderous slap, her friend even added her own. I was on the floor groaning in pain because i sustained a little cut through the shattered piece of the broken bottle. " you are indeed a Bastard how dare you break my bottle do you know how much it cost" my aunty was shouting on top of her voice, her friend was Not even helping the matter " Florence you have to get rid of this boy before he get rid of you" I was given horrible beating of my life. My uncle came back in the evening to add his own beating, they didn't even care about the cut on my hand what they were insinuating was the bottle i broken " i can now see you are a bastard, you are really useless i will return to you back to suffered very well in the village, idiot he is even talking about school " my uncle thundered " you mean he talked about going back to school? " " yes can you imagine he confronted me" " sweetheart this boy is dead you are going to nowhere ,school should go to hell" my aunty said as she stormed into the room " can you see what your idiot have caused ,my wife is angry you know what ? " My uncle said as he come. Closer to me with a fierce look " forget about school " My uncle said before heading to the room. Hmmmmmm my trouble just started Story continues...............

Sit tight as u enjoy the story. Fenks for reading i sincerely appreciate that, most especially your comments, i also need your correction (critic ) I love you guys

CHAPTER 8 THE PRETENCE. I sincerely believe that my opportunity of going to school has been dashed to pieces after that incident. Well my suffering never ends, from my uncle most especially my aunty. I don't really know what did for the woman for her to be treating me that way, there is one night i went to to beg her in her room to forgive me if i truly offended her, but instead i received another round of insult. " how dare you coming to my room to speak trash, forgive ko forgive ni , see let me tell you something, you can never succeed, you are nothing and you will be nothing in life, finally you will die like your parents " my aunty said as she sent me out of her room. My hatred for her increase to 90degree that day i so much hate i, like i should just kill her and run away. I went to my room crying i was lost in this world why would a woman say such a statement to another person child while she want her daughter to succeed in life. Again this time around I met myself in a dark tunnel , i was seriously afraid, " what am i doing here" i asked no one in particular, this time around i started hearing strange screech voices, i was about crying when i heard a voice echoing from the darkness, definitely that is my mom voice "my son stop crying , i can see you are really suffering " this time a light appeared from nowhere as i saw my mother coming towards me smiling ",don't mind what she said, i always told you that you will be great in life ,your suffering is just for a while, you will surely scale through just endure a little" " no how long will i endure to i am tired and how can you allow that wicked woman to be insulting you" i thundered " my son this is her time her rain of reproach is already forming in the sky, it will soon fall" I was little relieved by what my mom said , she told me many things especially evil that will befall me before I eventually arrived at my promise land , but she assured me that she will always be there to help and encourage me. We talked about so many things, but she warn me not to fight nor be disrespectful to my uncle and his wife. I was about asking for my father when she said what i hate most " my son it is my time to go " " go where ?" i asked looking lost " my time with you for now has end i will see you later" she said as she disappears into the darkness, i cried begging her not to leave me but lo my crying was useless, immediately she left the light varnished bringing me back into a thick darkness. I woke realizing that everything was nothing but a dream, ' jezzzz" why dream i lamented, i didnot even know when i slept off checking the time, it was 5:45am i quickly rise from the bed to start my housework. But another thing happened in the afternoon that gave me the shock of my life....... Story continues................

why can't you run away from them or go back to the village

CHAPTER 9 My uncle suddenly show up in the afternoon that day which is very strange. I have just returned from hawking when my uncle barged in calling my name " oh God hope i have done nothing wrong this time around " i silently prayed before heading to the sitting room where i met the couple " now go inside and change we are going somewhere? " " God what have i done this people really want to throw me out" i thought " sir? " i said as if i didn't hear what he said " are you deaf go inside and change idiot" it was my aunty who bark at me this time around. I quickly ran inside to change to my fade black trousers and blue shirt. Well i didn't tell you guys that my aunty burnt all my good clothes after the incident leaving me with bad faded ones. I showed up two minutes after in which my aunty still insulted me " so what are you doing inside that takes you that long " " i am sorry ma" " sorry for yourself idiot just follow him " she barked at me sending fears to my spine " dear i will be back soon " my uncle said before we vacate the house to an unknown place After about thirty minutes endless journey we stopped in front of a shop where they were selling clothes, " what are we doing here " i asked no one in particular . We entered in to the shop my uncle asked the woman in charge to get 3 trousers and shirt of my size which really surprised me " my uncle buying clothes for me , definitely God is awesome " after i have wore the clothes which is really my size my uncle asked the woman to packed it for me before we eventually head home ,my uncle dropped me outside before heading back to his office. Nothing happened after that until the evening after dinner when my uncle called me into the sitting room , i quickly left the book i was reading to attend to him to avoid unnecessary insults , well i never tell you guys that i always read my books every night before going to bed. My aunty burnt some of my books when she burnt my clothes but i hide some from her in which i do read when i locked my door or when everybody have slept. " sir you called me? " " yes i want to inform you that mamma Timo( Timothy ) will be visiting tomorrow ,so you will not be hawking tomorrow till she leaves next tomorrow, so behave yourself, and more so the trousers and the shirt i bought for you, you are to wear it tomorrow and next tomorrow you hear me, if you mess up just believe you are going back to the village " i nodded signaling that i hear him " now go inside and rearrange your room " I quickly dashed inside without saying anything. Well i really want to go back to the village, but i remembered my mother words who asked me to endure not only that i would not want to go back to the village because of Ella. By 12pm in the next day mummy timo arrived our house i was even inside my room when my aunty called me that she's around . I rushed straight in my new clothes to greet mummy timo, she was happy to see me after so many months " Ekundayo mi how are you i have missed you " she said while my aunty was faking a smile where she sat. " mummy what would i offered you softdrinks or water? " " softdrinks ke? Water will do" " dayo carry mummy bag inside " i immediately carried her bag inside but i eavesdrop what they were saying. My aunty served her water " why is dayo do pale like that " " pale like how ma? " i guess my aunty was not expecting that " i mean he look sick and not only that he have a scar on his left hand " my aunty smiles " mummy does he look like someone who is seek, actually he fell at the door step when he was playing with his sister ,so he had a little cut ,we took him to hospital after that as you can see the scar has dried" " yes and where is my daughter what is even her name? " " iyenede ma she is still in the school? " " i will preferred iye and why is dayo not in school too? " I can see my aunty was not comfortable with all the questions she Was being asked but she managed a fake smile as she lied and put everything under her control " yes they are not having paper today that is why you see him at home , or you have forgotten he is writing his waec " i was seriously cursing her where i hide how could she lied so much like that, well for some reasons i have to behave myself. I pity mummy timo who quickly bought her lie. " God bless you my wife for taking care of dayo, you will reap the fruit of your labour and you will enjoy your husband house very well " i was bittered as mummy timo prayed for her as she takes an excuse to start preparing dinner . I was still hiding under the curtain when my aunty jumped on me, she noticed immediately that i was eavesdropping what they were saying, so she screwed my ear as she led me to the kitchen " whatever you hear you must act to it, or else count yourself a dead rat " she said as she stormed out . This woman is really a devil himself. Everything went as they planned without mummy timo suspecting anything instead she was praying for them which really embittered me, well i have to act along if i don't want to be dead. On the day mummy timo was leaving she mistakenly gave me money infront of my uncle and his wife. I knew for sure the money will be collected from me later but i act fast as i kept little out of it. " are you sure this is everything? " my aunty asked looking sternly " yes ma " i replied which didn't sound convincing to her " you better confess now and if i check your room and found money you are dead " my conscience betrayed me i didn't know when i confessed that i hide little out of it. My aunty was mad at me , she gave me a serious beating, after collecting the money " i know you will be a notorious thief in your life because you are born a thief i have to start locking my door as from today " My uncle didn't even helped the situation he supported his wife instead.

CHAPTER 10 THE BEST FRIEND Ella and her mother was my only source of joy in lagos, they were everything to me, they make everything easier for me, am always happy anytime i leaves home for hawking because for sure i will be relieved of my pain And anguish. ' the gratitude to ones benefactor ought to know no end'. Ella and her mother gave me joy that I needed, to the extent that they almost makes me forget the suffering i am encountering from my uncle and his wife .{Hmmmmmm those who looked at someone with disdain should be thanked many didn't bother }. There is not a single day that I will branch and ella place without eating, there house has become my second house or should I call it my first and real home in lagos, it was Ella mother who treated the cuts on my hand, thanks to them, my uncle and his wicked wife didn't even bother talkless of caring. I didn't tell you guys that my aunty burnt the clothes my uncle bought for me when mummy timo visited, immediately the woman left she asked me to bring everything outside, the most surprising one was that my uncle was watching when she burnt the clothes, he didn't even do anything talkless of stopping his wife from burning the clothes. I was crazy inside, why is this woman wicked like this just ordinary clothes. Hmmmmmm well ' neither acts of kindness nor those of wickedness shall be lost'. But that day was really a bad day for me ,i can't but shed an uncontrollable tears, why is God so wicked to me, even if he wants to punish me it shouldn't have be in this manner, it was like my my source of joy has dry, my hopes shattered, that day was really a bad day when Ella announced to me that they would be relocating to Edo state. That day i and Ella met at our meeting joint before we go hawking even though she was late, in which i asked what cause her delayed, she replied me emotionally that she was helping her mother to pack some stuff at home, she said this staring at my eye. It was when we get to their house after hawking that she broke the sadden news for me. Her mom was not at home when we arrived but we met our food waiting for us, i noticed that ella was just looking at me in a very strange manners throughout the lunch i wanted to question her but i kicked against it, well i truly love Ella she is my best friend, my hope and source of joy the truth is that without her i don't know may be my condition would have been written off or i may even be dead. I love ella but i don't know how to tell her i do, and more so i don't want to do anything that will break our cordial relationship because i am now part of their family. It was after the lunch that ella finally broke the news " dayo i want to tell you something " she said kneeling down . I was surprise by her strange attitude, why is she kneeling down, or is she trying to profess her love for me " what and why are you kneeling down, please stand up don't embarrass me your mom may enter at any time what will you say if she founds you on your knees " " let me kneel down like this i beg you " " then i think i should be going" i retorted " okay " she said as she stood up " Dayo i don't know how you will react to this but i believe that.......... " " just tell me what is it" i cut her short " we are relocating to Edo state " " what? " "yes i am sorry I should have tell you this since but i just Don't know how to say it " i was weak down from my heart, why would God do things like this to me why i calmed myself down " so when will you be traveling ?" "tomorrow " " Alright what time? " " around 10 the bus that want to carry us would have been around then " " i will be here before then to help you with your loads" i just feel like crying that moment but i control my tears Ella noticed the tears forming in my eye " Dayo i am sorry i have long to tell you this" she said coming closer to me this time around " Dayo ever since the first day i set my eye on you i fell in love with you" i was surprised at what ella is now saying " but i want to tell you this that i will never forget you you have found a place in my heart " she did the unexpected, she comes closer and planted a soft kiss on my lips , everything was blank for me that moment, ahe place the kiss again before she hugged me. " Dayo i love you" I couldn't say anything thing but just to look in admiration. I was dumb throughout my remaining munites at ella house she noticed my countenance and smile. Throughout the night i couldn't sleep i was just thinking about ella, so she loved me so much like that Everything that happened that evening was still like a dream to me. I get to know later that a childhood friend of her mom in edo state has gotten a better job for her mom and not only that she will be returning back to school. after about four hours of endless thought i finally slept off. I showed up at ella place the next morning to help them packed their luggage inside the bus. I used the little time i had to speak my heart to ella " Ella ,i want to thank for everything you have done for me, i will forever be grateful to you and your mom," she smiles hearing me saying this " and also i want to tell you that i love you so much beyond your imagination, you are my everything i LOVE YOU " She hugged me before they finally left but not after we shared the our last emotional kiss. Tears filled my eyes as there bus disappeared into the street, that day i didn't sell much bottles which infuriates my aunty which leads to another round of insults. Hmmmmmm my source of joy [ Ella and her mother are gone ] .well I have to face the blurred future ahead of me

CHAPTER 11 MY MISTAKE ..... Every part of me was seriously missing Ella, i can't but always think of her everyday, Ella was just too much for me, i can't compared her with any mortal creatures on this earth but only an angel. Well my suffering continues from my uncle and my aunty , there is not a single day i won't have either beating or insult. The worst part of it is that sometimes after hawking under the hot sun in the afternoon expecting to eat something good at home, they either give me half of my food and warm the remaining half food in the next day morning, or there is no food for me at all. I still remember one morning my aunty asked me to go and eat a stale pounded yam of two days ago, when I looked at the food i felt like vomiting because the sight was nothing to behold there is this kind of white substance covering the whole food, i can't but eat the food that way because there is no any other place to eat from again, my lovely ella and her mom are no longer around again if not i wouldn't have eat the food. They make it compulsory for me to be eating stale food every morning , sometimes stale food of four or three days ago. My health was alarming i was now looking like someone with HIV aids Infact if someone said i had kwashiorkor i would believe, if mama Timo visited again she will be surprised to see me in that condition because her belief and the other family members was that they were talking care of me. The one that worry me most is that how can my uncle allowed his wife to always be dictating what to do for him he can't take any decisions, whatever his wife said that is the final, without anybody telling me definately this woman has bewitched my uncle not only that she has hypnotized him. Even there daughter was not left out imagine 8 i mean 8 years old can't brush her teeth talkless of bathing or washing her clothes, she was just like her mother. I have never in my life see a girl so mundane like this girl, she was just big in stature but nothing upstairs she can't recite A B C to Z she either stop at L M or N then she will said is confusing, she knew nothing but food Infact i personally nicknamed her ( jeun ku) i guess u understand that she can eat die, her parents were not helping the situation instead of them to get private teacher for her or i should be tutoring her what they keep saying is that she is still young 8 years for Christ sake, her results is always woeful, i should tell you her position because hers is always first or second from the last. Now i believed there is no hope for me in Lagos not even talking of going to school, not with my uncle and his wicked wife. It was around December the Christmas was fast approaching then when something strange happened that almost cost me my life. That day it was as if the whole world turned against me i can't just understand how it happens but looking at it critically i was not at fault. It was on Saturday that was two days to the Christmas i was at home i didn't go hawking that day i was washing plates inside the kitchen when that good for nothing girl came to me and uttered what i hate most to hear, i guess it was her mother who asked her to Called me that ,she was in the sitting room with that her witch friend. " hey bastard my mummy is calling you " i was range within my spirit i just feel like strangling her there, but i kicked against it, then i made the mistake, i move closer to her and screw her ear before releasing her that she should never in her life call me bastard, as i released her she stumbled on the stood by the door side therefore making her to hit her head against the Wall ,she screamed, this caught the attention of her mother who quickly rushed from the sitting room and met her daughter bleeding on the head by the door step, seeing her daughter she screamed "he has killed my daughter oooo" i was shocked and dumbfolded where i was standing then her friend came in she screamed too i can see panic every where " i knew he was sent here to killed my only child ooooo he has succeeded " my aunty said crying this time, me too i was already shedding tears " we have to rush her to the hospital now" her friend suggested " no she is dead already " " no she is still breathing let's be fast " they carried the girl and rushed outside i wanted to follow them but my aunty friend asked me to go back then she did the unexpected, she locked me inside and left with the key. I was crazy with my self why did i screw her ear why. " God you know i didn't mean any evil please don't let the Girl die please " i silently prayed weeping profusely, the another strange things happened 30 minutes later. I was still weeping..uncontrollably on the floor when i heard someone opening the door quess what ? it was my uncle he was looking fiercely like a wounded lion and the presence of the other two persons that entered almost makes me fainted "officers that is the criminal arrest him " i was shocked, my uncle getting me arrested " young man you are under arrest i will advise you not to say anything until you get to our station, now move " my only wish at that moment was that the ground should just opened and swallow me. I silently followed them as my uncle cursed behind, i was driven to the station in my uncle's car, after 10 minutes journey we arrive at the station i cursed my life and God not only that i blamed my late parents who was in heaven and yet allowed this to happen to me. I was dragged inside by the second officer who look like a junior to the second one, we met the DPO inside who happens to be my uncle friend " wale that is the criminal that want to kill my daughter " " so the girl is not yet dead " i quickly prayed in my heart that the girl must not die i even forgotten that i cursed God few minutes. ago. The dpo asked them to take me into the sell then promised my uncle that i will surely suffered for it Hmmmmmm the real story just begins sit tight as you enjoy this but i need your comments ( correction and critics ) Thanks love you all.. ......

CHAPTER 12 BORN TO SUFFER The way i was bundled and throw inside the cell was like the way they use to throw bag of cement anytime they are offloading it. Gbaaaaah i landed inside the cell, i silently cursed the wicked officer who throw me inside. I was still cursing that i didn't notice my new environment, but i regained my senses when when the smelling odour inside the cell welcomed me. Jezzzzzzz It was as if the odour was from hell, Infact i can categorically say that i was in hell, the most scary things was that the cell was dark like hell apart from the light coming from outside through the door and a small window that my small head can't even entered from the back side. I was still scrutinizing my new environment ,and how i am going to survive the smelling odour that day when i heard a thick voice calling me from the darkness, so there is someone here? Well i was unable to notice that because of the blurry darkness inside, i was afraid immediately because I have heard how dangerous the cell was After that i saw a tiny figure coming towards me from the darkness, the man was like a HIV patient when he comes to where i could see him very well ,the most scary things about the man was that he was tall, i mean so tall to The extent that i wondered how he was able to enter the cell, another one was that he has lost four of his teeth making him more scary like a demon, " welcome young lad" he said laughing, jezzzz his laugh was even more dangerous than the witches infact he looks like devil himself. I was timid at the sight of the stature before me as i was still praying that God should save me from the demon before when another broad voice thundered from the darkness " bring him here" the scary guy before smile and whisper something i didn't hear to me as he led me to the inner part of the cell . Scary took me to the most scariest human being , i named the tiny tall man scary but the one i met inside was more scary. I could see him little clearly by the small window at the back he was like a Goliath side his chest was like that of hunk, his head was so big i later discovered that the Goliath man came to the cell the previous week and overpowered the four guys in the cell including scary but i didn't meet the remaining three guys there because the have been transferred to prison. Looking at me he smiled, " you are welcome to my domain feels free nothing will harm you here" i was little relieved by what he said until i heard Gboooooooaaah , what Goliath slapped me with a serious face this time around . good God the slap was so hot and hard Infact if you were there you will see the mark of his hand on my cheek, my uncle own and that of my aunty was nothing compared to Goliath own, my thoughts at that moment waa that i should just die there and escape this suffering world. " that is my welcome greeting " Goliath said moving more closer to me, the next thing he was that he spat on my face, "gracious God let me die " I muttered he gave me another deafening slap when i tried to wiped the phlegm from my face another two slaps landed on my face again which makes me to fall down, down on the ground i was given another slap by scary who asked me to stand up. I stood up immediately. He spat on my face again asking me to rub it well until it dry, scary did his own, i was in hell up till today i didn't know how i survive that moment because the odour was something i can't describe, later on i was given the hell beating of my life i was even screaming may be the officers outside Will come to my rescue but i was left with my fate between deadly scary and Goliath. I was asked to kneel down immediately after the beating, which i did when he announced the " that is your welcome note prepare for the evening for your real welcoming service " " what real welcome what it is true i was born to suffer" Story continues guess what is going to happen next?

Sori dat is life 4 u.

If 2 say u poisoned dem wen I told u, it wouldn't hv been like dis

Which one come be the real welcominq service aqain.

And what's that?

CHAPTER 13 THE RESCUED My first night in the cell was something i couldn't describe if only i could see another place more scary than hell. The two demons with me inside the cell gave me beating that is more than the afternoon after that they urinated in my mouth i didn't know I could survive that moment, the worst part of it was that i didn't sleep throughout the night because i was fanning the two demons it was around 4:30 that Goliath asked me to go and rest before i explain why i came to the cell. I slept off within 2 minutes because i was dozing all throughout the night. Again i saw my mom i was not happy seeing her because i was seriously angry with her and my father, she noticed that " my son i know you are really suffering but that is your fate but if you want to become someone in life you have to endure it" "yes that is it , how long am i going to endure tell me Infact i hate you for saying that, " i thundered . " my son you dont have to be angry with me, i am not happy seeing you suffering but" "but what, what have you done about it" " yes i ve done alot, very soon you will be released ,but remember you must endure " I was about asking another question when a hot slap landed on my face which makes me to jumped on my feet. Gracious God scary slapped me, why this morning again " you want to sleep till eternity?" he asked without me replying, i was beaten Again that morning before i was asked to narrate my story infact my bad story. Tears gulped down from my eye immediately ,they were surprised at me, i could see the eagerness on their face, i clean the tears on my face before i narrated my ordeal to them then i saw the shock of my life. Immediately i finished my story the two monsters were already crying, i was surprised why they were crying or maybe their story is similar, until scary voiced out " human being are so wicked " what did i just heard wicked, so he didn't remembered how they were beaten me yesterday and today. They were touched by my story since that day i became their friend and brother, they never treated me badly again. Inside there i get to know about them . Goliath whose his real name is okoro from rivers state was also a police who was serving as a bodyguard to one of the high ranking officer, he was a good man not until the man's daughter returned from America and fell for okoro, she couldn't hide her feelings for him. One day she invited him to help her clean some dirt inside her room, but her real intention was to forced him to sleep with her, but okoro was not interested even though the girl is seductive but he maintained that he can't sleep with his oga daughter. Seeing that he's not ready to cooperate she threatened to shout which she eventually did at the end of everything okoro was arrested of rape, that was how he found himself in the cell. Scary own i mean segun that was his real name was from a poor family but one politician intended to marry his sister but he didn't agree to it that the man can never married his sister when he's alive this makes the man to get him arrested without any charge ,his intention was to kill scary but his sister kicked against it bringing the cell suggestion. " i heard they are now marry their children will die untimely " he would always cursed. I was ushered out by another officer into the DPO . He was sorry for me in my new state. " sit down " he pointed to the chair before him, " sir did she die?" i saw myself asking , he hesitate for a while before replying me " but why did you want to kill her" " sir she is my sister i can't kill her it was a mistake " i narrated everything to him, gracious he believed me " thanks God she didn't died but sustained little injury, well i will talk to my friend " It was later i got to know that my uncle and the DPO went to the same school, he revealed to me how he love my father because only few brother could did what my father did for my uncle and for him also. Tear fell for my eye immediately he was surprised seeing me crying " what is wrong " i was speechless but after much persuasion i opened up from my mother burials to my suffering and to this moment. He was deeply sorry for me and the same time dissappointed in my uncle " i can now see why your father kicked against jimi marrying that woman, don't worry you will be released today. Later in the afternoon i was ushered into the DPO office there i met mama timo and one member of our family, they couldn't but pity me when they saw me " he will be staying with me for now until jimi calm down just make sure you keep begging him and please don't tell him the boy is with me" the DPO concluded before they left later in the evening i followed DPO to his house.

CHAPTER 14 THE BATTLE "The storms of the sea won't stop the fish from sleeping and snoring "(keep hope alive ). When the storms arise against you on the sea ob your journey to your destination,dont be perturbed, nor be wary always remember there's someone somewhere that is ready to calm down your storms only if you cry out to him. Back to the story i followed my uncle's friend home who is the DPO, his wife was surprised seeing me, but notwithstanding she showed me love even at the sight of axienty on her face. After giving me water ( i don't need water but food )she followed her husband inside who i guess explains who i am. Few minutes later she show up with her husband smiling at me as she approached me "young man what's your name? " "Ekundayo ma" i replied faintly because I was so tired " wow what a nice name call me aunty Funmilola, funmi for short " i nooded affirmatively, i guess she saw the looks of hunger on my face " sorry boy let me go to the kitchen so that I can serve you food " she said as she dashed into the kitchen, all through our conversation her husband was just watching me. I became uneasy with his looks not only that , I was shy at his sight so I faced another side instead of his side, sorry i haven't tells you the DPO's name his name is Olawale , dark in complexion, looking at this man you will reason why some people says black is beautiful indeed black is beautiful, he was shining like a star in the sky, he's more handsome in his police uniform,even though he's not collecting the same salary which i get to know later with my uncle he is still looking more perfect than my uncle. His wife was perfect epitome of beauty, when you are looking for river goddess, aunty Funmilola was a perfect one, chocolate in colour, gracious God this woman posses extra ordinary curve, when i mean extraordinary, i guess you know what I mean, that one of my aunty is very small compared to aunty Funmilola, in short she is a wonderful woman. Aunty Funmilola showed up few minutes later just guess what she brought, this woman is indeed a great woman, immediately i sight the food i forgot my suffering gracious God before me was a 2 i mean two plates of pounded yam, and a vegetable soup, in a twinkling of an eye i have finished the two plates ,i didn't even minds the couple sitting down before me " you still need more? " i nodded yes, she drought another two plates before i was finally satisfied. What? The couple were just staring at me, seeing them tears gulped down my eye seeing them staring at me that way i guess they were pitying my condition Uncle wale came to me this time touching my back " you want to tell us more ?" uncle wale said cleaning the tears in my eye with his hands. Where would i start from well i have told him little about my ordeal i guess he wants to know more. I started from my coming into my uncles house and how his wife pretended to love me at the first place, i also told them how they promised me of enrolling me back to school so that I could finish my waec, how they failed me by giving me buckets of softdrinks to sell in the street, also how my aunty maltreated me calling me and my father bastard, and my mother witch, i also tells them about ella and his mother and also the incident that happened before I found myself in the station cell. Uncle wale and his wife were crying along with me this time, i could see clearly nothing but anger on uncle wale eye, yes i was right. "jezz jimi will suffer for this, sweetheart this boy father sponsored jimi to school i mean throughout his university education, i can't believe he could allow that Jezebel woman to maltreated this innocent boy " uncle wale storm with anger and hatred in him " human being are wicked " His wife added uncle wale entered and showed up few minutes later ,i guess he was going somewhere, " where are you going to?" his wife asked " i want to go and confront that idiot that called himself jimi he is such a asshole " he thundered " no not tonight again " his wife said begging him not to go because the time was around 6:50,well uncle wale has made up his mind " dear take the boy to his room to go and sleep he needs to rest " he said before storming out to my uncle place. My beautiful best readers you have not see anything the battle just began Infact you will enjoy the rest of this touching story.

CHAPTER 15 THE BATTLE CONTINUES "if the wicked were to be fired, the world would have been desolated". Back to my story, aunty Funmilola showed me my room immediately uncle wale stormed out the house. " if you need anything let me know " aunty Funmilola said before heading out in which i nodded signaling that i hear her . Without hesitating i wrapped myself with the blanket immediately, as i reminiscized back to everything that has happened to me, most especially in the cell, how i was tortured by scary and Goliath, and how they later became my friends, i love them even though i smell hell from them. I still remember in the afternoon before my release, Goliath volunteer to make himself my pillow as from that day only to be released some hours later, they felt like crying when the officer announced my release, but i encouraged them to be themselves because very soon they will be released, i hugged them before I leave promising of seeing them in the future. I also reminiscized about my relationship with ella, seriously i missed her she's the only person i need right now. One part of me was telling me that I will still meet Ella in future, i can't really wait to see her. I was so lost in thought that i didn't know when i slept off, to be candid i had a nice dream that night because i saw my mom again. This time she was smiling " my son,i can see your promise land getting more closer" she said smiling as she moved closer to me. " how long will it take me to get there? " i found myself asking " i can't say , the truth is that it is getting closer but" but what again , i thought she wants to bring me good news " but what?" " i can still see a great challenges,obstacles more than before on your little journey to your greatness " Hearing this i was devastated but why would suffering always comes my way in life why? And besides why can't she clear the obstacles and challenges away because I heard ghost have powers " it is not the way you think my son yes we ghost have powers but we can't change destiny we can only help you through it " " but don't worry my son what i am seeing before you is great for eyes to behold you are a great man but you must pay the price " she added before she disappeared into the thick darkness I woke up immediately i felt a hand touching my forehead, i slowly opened my eyes to see uncle wale sitting beside me. " good morning uncle " i greeted as i tried to sit which uncle wale against " noo rest a little bobo i can see you are tired, the food is almost ready " i was speechless the only person who did this to me last was my late mother .checking the time I was surprised 9:30am jezuz what am i still doing on bed beside i should be helping Aunty Funmilola inside the kitchen this is what i can't try at my uncle side Infact sleeping till 6am is a trouble. But how come or was it because of my detention inside the cell, oooh i remembered i slept late last night, when I check the time on the wall clock before i slept last night it was 10:30pm and uncle wale was not yet back by that time, but wait sleeping at that time is not new to me because sometimes i do sleep around 12am or 1am at my uncle side and I will still wake up by 5am "well may be it was my detention" i concluded Uncle wale noticed the look on my face and the way i was looking at the wall clock, he smile " you are surprised sleeping to this time huh?" i nodded yes " it should be so because you were so tired " but wait why is he not at the station by this time of the day or is it because he is the DPO " are you not going to work?" i found myself asking " yes i am not i went to the station yesterday because of you and besides today is boxing day" boxing what " sir you mean yesterday was Christmas? " ' yes" jezuz i didn't even remember well why would I when I was inside the cell. Aunty Funmilola entered this to announce that the food is ready she was happy to see me awake " morning Ekundayo " she greeted smiling " good morning ma" " how was your night " " fine ma it was wonderful" well i was right because i slept like a new born baby for the first time in 8 i mean eight months " sweetheart the dinning is set" she announced " now get up bobo and brush your teeth before you join us in the dinning " uncle wale said before heading out with his wife. Well uncle wale preferred calling me bobo .few minutes later i joined them at the dinning ,wow guess the breakfast it was jollof rice. Well everything was going well with me at uncle wale place infact they took me to the market to buy clothes for me, they took me to beach and the most interesting one is the cinema to celebrate New Year, they treated me like their son, the truth i even forgot i had a uncle in Lagos, how i wish uncle wale is my real uncle i would not have suffered like this, well i believed in my heart that i have arrived my promise land Hmmmm i was wrong, there in the cinema i met a very familiar person i guess the person was the caused of my later misfortune. Story continues .................. Guess who is the person . Sit tight as u enjoy the Story.

CHAPTER 16 MY MISFORTUNE My thought was that i have arrived my promise land since i came to uncle wale's place but my fortune was Not long until another misfortune befall me. Well back to my story ,like i said earlier i uncle wale and his wife Funmilola we went to cinema to celebrate the new Year that day marked my 1 week at uncle wale place. I was over i mean over joyous i going to cinema, gracious God this is unbelievable, well by 10 a.m. we zoomed off to the cinema, wow the place was indescribable for me because i have never been to any one before, we sat at the empty seats at the back because all the front seat were already occupied. I was engross with the movie that was going on then because it was so interesting, the same goes to uncle wale and his wife because there faces shows it, turning to my left hand side i saw the person i never wish to see again in my life because everything about this person is wickedness. Well unknown to me that she has been looking at me since she came to the cinema half hour ago, she was in doubt may be i am the one or not, but facing her this time clear her doubt, oooh no how i wish i never face that side, well i haven't told you the person, the person is nobody than my aunty wicked and Jezebel friend ,i guess she was surprised seeing me there, i too i was surprise,i quickly faced the front ,but i notice something strange, the man beside her i mean the person she came with was yong to be her husband the guy according to my guessing will be around 24 years old. Looking at the guy he will be one of her sugar boyfriend, i was happy she pretended not to see me but inside me am not comfortable. Thank God at last we left the cinema, i still remember when I was leaving she was seriously staring at me, i too didn't even bother of looking at her side talkless of greeting her, but wait what did i want to greet her for. Everything was going on well until that day, i mean the third day of new year my uncle stormed in into my new home like a wounded lion his reaction that day makes me to hate him more but i can't do anything to him because he is my blood . I was inside the kitchen washing the dirty plates around 6:35pm ,while uncle wale and his wife were watching their new black and white television inside the sitting room when my uncle stormed in without knocking, Uncle wale was enraged by that " how dare you to storm into my house like that like a mad dog" " so i am the mad dog, and u call this a house, well i am not here for that,i am here to take my nephew you kidnapped in your domain here? " " which your nephew are you talking about? " " you know now Ekundayo of course " " seriously yoh are mad now get out of my house " uncle wale thundered, i came out from the kitchen this time " ehehe so dayo they have now turn you to a house boy, now go inside and get your load we are going home together tonight" i was crazy within me Infact what i was thinking at that moment is that i should just get cutlass and beheaded him home ko home ni, i just stand there unmoved . " are you deaf i said go inside now and pack your things we are leaving here together " i was just looking at him with hatred which clothes is he talking about the one he bought for me?. It was as if uncle wale reads my mind " you must be crazy for saying that the one you bought for him inside the cell you throw him to, but jimi you are wicked so with all the things this boy did for you when we were in school, you can still treat him like this,well i can now see why his father didn't want you to marry that Jezebel witch you called wife, now get out of my house " uncle wale stormed " oooh i see they have bewitched you,you are calling someone witch, while your wife is busy donating the children you supposed to have in there kingdom, so get lost and you Ekundayo the family gave you to me not him so follow me now before i loose my temper" this add more fuel to the already burning fire in uncle wale. I didn't know how it happened but what i heard next is gboooooooaaah, what uncle wale landed a hot blow on uncle jimi face, it was aunty Funmilola who hindered him from landing the second blow, well i was enjoying the whole seen now. My uncle struggled free from uncle wale grips, i can now see you are truly crazy but with this i will sue you to court for kidnapping " uncle jimi said as he headed to the door " besides i am going to make sure you loose your job i am going to the commissioner of police tomorrow so prepare to receive your sack letter " he said " get out idiots" " i am going out already " uncle jimi said before storming out " calm down my husband just leave him alone " aunty Funmilola said calming her husband " go and continued what you are doing dayo" uncle wale said as he stormed in to his room while his wife followed him. God why this again my uncle just threatened him with his job,sorry my readers i didn't tell you that uncle wale and his wife have not given birth to any child for the past 7 years , i was sorry for them when aunty Funmilola told me with tears the other day, i was so sad " stop crying ma i promise i will be more to you than your own biological children " i promised her i quickly washed the remaining plates before resuming back to my room . Hmmmmm hot scene is on the way but who's gonna win this battle jimi or wale? So guessing start now

CHAPTER 18 LOST BATTLE. Little did i and uncle wale knows that my blistering uncle has some bluff under his shirt. Hmmm my uncle boast of connection, how he is gonna ruined his friend, but i came to wonder why is he asking me to come back to that hell he and his wife called house, he was the One who got me arrested detained for some days inside the cell without asking for me, and now when I have finally found a helper, it was then he's now asking to come back, infact over my dead body will i go back to that house. " if the road to destiny is a smooth it would have be better but challenges make it rough " . It was on the second day my uncle finally show uncle wale how connected he is. Uncle wale came back home around 12:30 Pm which is unusual because his closing time from work is 2pm, looking at him when he entered, even a 4 months old baby will know something is wrong. " where is my wife? " he asked " she went to the market sir" mummy don't be surprised am calling her mummy she worth it. She went to market hour ago, she even promise not to be long, so i was the only one at home when uncle wale arrived. I was not comfortable with his mood so i decided to ask him what's wrong. " sir is anything the matter? " he turned to me with his eye Now red " don't worry am okay " he said dejectedly, well i concluded maybe it is a secret thing, i went back to my room to continue the books am reading. Sorry i didn't tell you that uncle wale and his Wife Have decided to sponsor me to school up to my university level. I was happy when they broke the news to me as one of my new year surprise. I was crazy for joy that day, i promise them that night that i will do more than what their biological children will do to them, to be sincere uncle wale and aunty Funmilola were a wonderful couple and parents. The noise i was hearing from the sitting room shows that aunty Funmilola is back, i quickly rushed to the sitting room. I met the couple in a sad mood but who am i to interfere into couples matter. " carry this nylon bag into the kitchen " aunty Funmilola said as i carried the heavy nylon bag into the kitchen, i was on my way to my room when i heard aunty Funmilola shouting ,i tiptoed to the back of the cutton so that i can eavesdrops what they are saying. " this man is indeed callous, i mean why would he want to Obliterate his fellow man, this is wickedness " she lamented, with this many questions were on my mind that i really need someone to answer, who's is that person that want to blot out his fellow man, " my uncle? " no i flay away the thought why will my uncle want to kill his friend, that's definitely impossible " what did the C.O.P now say" aunty Funmilola asked keenly. " he said i should withdraw from going to court because i will blatantly loose, so i should return the boy back to his brother and only family in Lagos " uncle wale replied with a calmed voice like someone being defeated. " he even said my job is at stake because of the accusations the assistant commissioner of police levied against me, he advised me to be fast before my matter get to the state military governor " " so definitely the assistant commissioner of police is working for Jimi but how did jimi know him beside he is an igbo man " " yes dear that's the question i need answer to" " with what is going on i think his wife is behind everything " aunty Funmilola concluded. I never expected my uncle to go this far because of me but why, want do they want me for again, i was devastated and at the same time pity uncle wale who is about loosing his job because of me. I stepped out from where I was hiding which surprise because they thought I was inside my room. The couple could not utter any words because they were shocked seeing me i kneel down immediately "sir i truly know you care and want good for me, i want to used this time to say thank you i am not an ingrate, i sincerely appreciate you for everything you have done for me and i want to tell you that i love you, you are like a parent to me, you show me love when i need love, you show me care when i need it most but i can't because of me allow you to loose your job never i will go back to my uncle place to continue my travail,i really know now that I'm born in to suffer, but one thing is sure the future is bright " i said with tears rolling down from my eye ,uncle wale and his wife too couldn't control their tears. Uncle wale came to me and hold my hands in tears " you are a strong man, be courageous don't be timid you will survive your stormy sea i love you but I'm powerless as you too can see" it was like a contest of tears that day because uncle wale could no longer hold it again so he went to his room and never show up until next morning ,even his dinner was served to him inside his room. I could not sleep that night because i was trouble within me and besides i want to see my mother and confront her because he said i will soon arrived my promise land but going back to my uncle house signify that there is nothing again for me. I managed to sleep around 2am thinking i will see my mother in my dream but alas she didn't show up. The warmth hand i felt resting on my forehead wake me up from my endless sleep, it was uncle wale again, he was sitting down on the stood beside my bed smiling " good morning bobo how was your night? " i lied because my night was bad as a result of how i didn't see my mother in my dream " fine sir yours? " " same as yours " if only he knew i was lying he wouldn't be saying same as yours " now stand up and bath before your breakfast because your uncle will be here any moment from now" my countenance change immediately he mentioned my uncle, he noticed my new look " son this is your cross You have to carry it remember this is not your end, be strong irrespective the challenges you are facing. " i stood up from the bed to take my bath, i ate my breakfast after that before resuming back to my room to pack my clothes, hour later uncle wale came into my room with a black nylon bag full of clothes, i thank him as i collect it and pack it inside my bag . We heard a knock from outside around 1:30 pm definitely that will be uncle jimi . I was right it is uncle jimi, he even came with that Jezebel wife of his together with their daughter. They came inside smiling like a predator smiling at his already to be devoured prey. " the DPO good afternoon " uncle jimi greeted,smiling,but uncle wale didn't reply " i don't know you are so weak like a new born baby and you were forming boss the other time " he said laughing herrastically this time uncle wale want to say something but he was caution by his wife so he remained silent. I went inside to get my bag " hey prodigal brother now let's get going and for you mr bossy we gonna see later but i want to advise you as my best friend go and get another wife because this witch won't give you child" he said laughing with his wife making jest of uncle wale and his wife. Finally uncle wale voiced out. " jimi i want you to know something, that whatever man soweth in life the Same he shall reap" uncle wale was cut shot by aunty Florence " he will reap nothing dear lets go, and you prodigal son now move" i almost fell down with the way she pushed my head as we scuttled outside. According to the English meaning of my name " my tears has turned to joy" but please my readers has my tears finally turned to joy or sorrow.

CHAPTER 20 SUFFERING CONTINUES " we ought to be focused on where we are going not where we have fallen (be forward )" by StephMide Without a seer telling me i know very well i am susceptible to suffering i was really forlorn. Finally we arrived at my uncle placed, it was as if that was my first time of stepping into the house everywhere look strange to me, though nothing has changed there but i was like a stranger there. I feel like crying when i alighted from the car because i never dream that i will still step my feet into the house, i was still standing there scrutinizing the environment when my uncle shouted on me " you won't enter again prodigal brother" I came back to my senses immediately as i carried my bag from the boot,and tiptoed inside as if the ground will open at any time and swallow me,meanwhile aunty Florence has banged inside with her daughter immediately we entered the compound, i guess she want to start her wickedness again. Well i ve stopped blaming God because i ve know this is my fate and destiny, i was indeed born to suffer. I entered the house only to be welcome by hot Slap, from my uncle i became deaf immediately. " you think you are smart" he laughed at me " i want you to know you can never be smarter than me Because i came to this world before you ,see this idiot am talking to you and you are still standing up, go on your knee my friend, sweetheart get me the wire" What wire? this will be the first time i am going to be flog with wire, my aunty enmarged from the room smiling with a wire on her hands " idiot now lie down flat " i lied down immediately still begging my uncle " shut up bastard " my aunty commanded My good readers the hell i ve been facing all this days was nothing compared to the hell i faced that day, infact i even sustain injury as a result of the fierce beating of the wire, despite all the injuries i sustained my uncle care less Infact to die is the best thing they wished for me at that moment, i too wished i should die that moment, but my soul refuse to die . I went to my room crying only to meet the worst, the room was so dirty more than the first time i came to the house, the pain i was feeling at that moment could not let me think of cleaning the room even the bed was dirty so i slept on the floor. The shout of my aunty wakes me up the next morning " you don't want to wake up again bastard if you like die Infact i will be very happy " she said with a strict face " will you stand up now and sweep the whole house for me" she was about going when she turned back again as if she remembered something " where's the bag you brought from that witch place " Oooooooh God i saw this coming i know this woman will ask for my bag. I was mute because i know she will burnt all the clothes uncle wale bought for me, i know you will think that i was dull that i should have kept some of the clothes but the pain i felt the last night couldn't let me think of it. " are you deaf? " she sighted the bag where i throw it to last night, she brought out all the clothes " so the witch and her husband bought you all this" i nodded in agreement " never in my life will you wear this in this house " i tried all my possible best begging her not to burnt the clothes, but she was adamant, she went ahead and burnt the clothes, i cried when i saw her burning the clothes " God why did you bring me back to this house, i never knew you hate so much like this " i lamented before resuming back to continue the floor i was sweeping. In the evening that day my uncle called me to the sitting room after the dinner, i was shocked when he called me because I thought maybe I have done something wrong again. " sir you called me? " " no i didn't call you idiot now listen to me "" he said with a strict face this time. " tomorrow you will start hawking again but this time it is not softdrinks it is orange, and let me tell you i don't mind killing you because i am capable of doing so, if any money get missing,even if it is just 1kobo. ooooo God you will blame your parents for giving birth to you that day, now vacate here bastard " he said with his wife sitting down beside him like she didn't hear what her husband was saying, i was about entering my room when i heard my uncle calling me again " and tomorrow as early as 5 i want to wash my car for me and i must not see any stain on it" this is really wickedness, i can't believe my uncle has turned into an heartless creature. How will i be able to wash a car in the darkness without stain. I started hawking again the next morning, lest i forgot i was beaten again by my uncle that morning because of some stain on his car " i told you i must not see any stain on my car didn't i" he thundered as i received uncountable lashes of wire at my back. Like i have said earlier i resume hawking again ,i was given 25 oranges to sell and i must make sure i sell above 20 oranges or else no breakfast for me the next morning. The first two days was bad because i could not sell above 15oranges and my aunty kept her promise by not giving me breakfast the second day so i resulted in keeping little out of my dinner for breakfast the next morning. Two months gone by this time i was selling well sometimes i even sell everything finished, i and my uncle were getting better in our relationship he is not harsh at me like before which anger my aunty, until the day she mastermind her evil plan which eventually turned my uncle back against me again. After my hawking that day i was so exhausted because i make sure i sell everything finished that day in which i did, i was in my room when she called me, i quickly rushed to meet her to avoid another drama " where is my remaining money " I was shocked at her question which money is she talking about " i said where is my remaining money or are you deaf" she thundered " ma i gave you all the money " i retorted " you must be crazy my money remained #6 naira" What but i counted the money before giving it to her but i was now surprised at what she is now saying. " oooooooohhh the witch and her husband has taught you how to steal but you are wrong you can't steal my money you will vomit it bastard " she said as she give me a two round of hot slap i feel like slapping her again but i kicked against it because she's my uncle wife " what? you want to beat me, beat me now, bastard i will not beat you , i will wait till my husband arrive " "Yes i am in hot soup " i said to myself when i heard my uncle calling me from the sitting room when he arrived,i believe his witch wife would have told him " heheeeee so you have started stealing " he said as he charged towards me, without hearing my own story my uncle started beating me, i was beaten to hell that day and the worst part of it which i ve been praying not to happen ,happened i was denied my dinner so i went to bed with an empty stomach that night. I moved on after until that day something disastrous happened to me ,i was selling orange to a customer by the road side when a car ran to my side i guess the car loosed control, the car almost hit me but i was lucky enough to quickly jumped over the gutter before the car reached me even though i have some cuts on my two hands, i began to cry immediately not because of the cut i had on my hands but because i lost all i mean all the oranges . Definately am in for it that day, i was blaming the car for not killing me and at the Same time blaming myself from jumping over. I need yha correction readers.

THE ACCIDENT " your challenges are your stepping stone to your success " StephMide. Back to my story. Yes i guess you still remembered how the incident happened, i told you i was selling orange to a customer by the road side when a car ran to my side and how i narrowly escaped death If i knew Death house i would have go and meet him since all this days but alas death have no house. My thoughts at that moment when the accident happened was that i should die. Please my readers look at it very well don't i deserve to die i mean with all these suffering, if only i could see death i would have gladly ran into his arm but death was no way near me. Everything was still a shock to me especially the way i escaped the being hited by the car, even the passersby were congratulating me that God is with me but if only they knew what am encountering at home they won't say that. The car have some damages at the front as a result of how the car hit the gutter, if not for the gutter the car would have ran into the barbing saloon nearby. I guess you will be wondering who is the driver, me too i was wandering who is that Wreckless driver, i who wished i should die some minutes ago was now in rage with the driver that wants to kill me. I feel pity when i saw the driver, guess who

The car have some damages at the front as a result of how the car hited the gutter, if not for the gutter the car would have ran into the barbing saloon nearby. I guess you will be wondering who is the driver, me too i was wondering who is that Wreckless driver, i who wished i should die some minutes ago was now in rage with the driver that wants to kill me. I feel pity when i saw the driver, guess who is, i was thinking the driver would be a drunk man but alas i was wrong, the driver is a woman but why would she be driving like that,she is cool, her face looks so innocent, and besides she didn't look like someone who is drunk. She came out afraid thinking she has killed someone but she was relieved when i stood up to challenge her. " ma do you want to kill me? " i asked with tears in my eye " i am sorry i don't mean to harm you, it was my fault but i am sorry i can never killed you" she said with fear. "but you almost did few minutes ago" this time crowd. Have filled the scene watching the drama between i and the Estranged woman. " yes i made a mistake that is why i came to say sorry" " na only sorry you go say? " one guy said from the onlookers I began to cry again when i sighted the already wasted oranges on the ground, i could Not utter anything i was just crying and at the same time pointing to the wasted oranges on the ground "won't you pay for the oranges you wasted? " another person shouted from the onlookers. " do you want another oranges or the money? " over my dead body would i prefer oranges to money, i quickly told her i want money not the oranges. She asked for the price in which i answered her, but she complains of not having up to that amount with her only if i would follow her to her house, without thinking twice i agreed to follow her because i must collect my money. We trekked for like Five minutes before we get to her house because she could no longer carry her car so she parked it to the accident spot. Her house was beautiful to be candid three bedroom flats with fence,the house was painted in Brown color,but a notice was pasted at the gate saying private teacher is needed. We entered, my plan was that i will collect my money i leave, but instead this woman went inside and brought out first aid box, to treat the cuts on my hands. After treating the cuts she went inside guess what she did this woman brought out boiled yam and a fried egg, jezuz i wanted to refuse the food at first place because i don't know her maybe she wants to use me for rituals perhaps she want to finish what she couldn't finished the other time but another side of me want to eat the food, so i agreed after a lot of deliberation beside i really want to die before . So i rushed the food and within the twinkling of an eye i have finished it, she requested if i am satisfied in which i say no because i don't know if i would ever have this opportunity again in life even if is to die i am ready. After the food, the woman requested for my name in which i told her and she told me her name is mrs Williams, well i too i was wondering where is her husband and children, she noticed the look on my face as i scrutinized the house " i guess you are thinking about my husband and child?" i nodded yes " well my husband is a business man he is not in Nigeria presently he went to Germany for his business partnership, my only daughter is yet to be back from school " later she gave me my money and told me to always hawks to her side everyday. i was about going when i remembered the notice at the gate " ma i saw a notice at the gate, i mean the private teacher stuff, i want to know the class of your daughter ma? " she looked at me for some seconds before she replied ' yes i pasted it there my daughter is in primary 4 i want a viable teacher for my daughter not just any teacher" well looking at me nobody will think i am brilliant, i told her i can do it, the next question she asked baffles me " do you go to school at all i mean secondary school? " "yes i did ma i wanted to write my waec when my mom died so i came to lagos here to write it but i resulted in hawking " she was sorry for me " i am sorry for your mom but how come you never write your waec? " " nobody to sponsor me ma" " i am sorry for everything Ekundayo concerning the private teacher i will give you a trial tomorrow " "thank you ma i promise not to dissapoint you ma" " alright take care " she gave me additional money to buy drugs for the cuts on my hands. I was about leaving when her daughter entered, she was 8 years old according to her mother ,she is a carbon copy of her mother only the big ass her mother has differentiate them i get to know later that mrs Williams is a nurse. I need your comments (correction ) please.

What a story

A LITTLE HOPE "If the frying pan is not heated up the corns cannot pop( no pain, no gain, no sweat, no sweet)" StephMide - 2016. A singer once sing it in her song that God should suffer her to her success. Everybody you see succeeding today all have their rugged and rough past, dont be discourage by the challenges that is facing you now, just believe they are your stepping stone to success, be strong ,be determined, be focus,you will actually get there. I will like to thank my readers at this junction, those who comment and those who didn't, StephMide says 'i love you'. Back to my story ,hope you remembered where i stopped, i mean my new found helper, mrs Williams let me tell you little about her. Even though i didn't know her age i guess she would be around 28-30 , she is fair in complexion 5.6ft tall, she is not that fat, but she is okay. She is a cool , gentle and humble woman . To be candid this woman is wonderful, i told in the last episode that she said her husband travel to Germany and he will be back in five months time. She and her husband are from akwa ibom state but moved in to lagos immediately after their wedding nine years ago. Yes i resume the private teacher job next day, thank God, i sold all the oranges quickly, out of 25 i sold 22 remaining three, i would have sell the remaining three but i preserved it for mrs Williams who later bought the three . Sorry I forgot to tell you Mrs Williams daughter name ,her name is Phebe. Phebe is a brilliant girl, with the level of her intelligent she should be in primary six not four, she had a high sense of humour i love her with this, within two days we were found of each other, the only problem i have with her was that she is too troublesome, she can play pass anything most especially rough play, i still remembered that day she almost broke her leg. So i became a full-time private teacher to Phebe all through this time my uncle and his wife were Not aware of my secret job and I was saving the money i realized from there. Sometimes at home my aunty will just intentionally denied me my food, just to punish me, well little did she know that i no longer relied on her miserable food again, sorry i didn't tell you that i now eat food from mrs Williams house, that is why i don't depend on aunty Florence food again, besides i have money to buy food for myself. " for you to survive in life it takes the survival of the fittest " so to succeed in life i acted wisely by saving out of my secret job money for my waec, with my calculation i will realize enough money if i continued like that for The next ten months. Well the money i was getting was not that small but it is manageable, mrs Williams was even ready to help me when i told her about me planning to write my waec. Well every wife must know this for sure that it is not everyday that her will be commending her for good food. Like the title of this chapter A LITTLE HOPE. Yes it is really a little hope for me my joy and hope didn't last long when everything just dashed away, it was like a dream to me, well but such is life. After my hawking that day i made my way to mrs Williams house, on getting there i met the shock of my life. I was about entering the sitting room when mrs Williams came to meet me with an unusual look " hope nothing bad has happened to her" i prayed silently what she said almost make faint " what do you want rapist? " What rapist, did she just said rapist, something is wrong somewhere. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm my readers something is really wrong, guess what really happens the next episode. Thanks for reading .

rapist ke!..someone had probably wanted 2 rape her daughter nd she thinks its you

hey @sonshine, where u at..bring d reg..new episode ere
