“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
