IN THE NAME OF LOVE🥺🤎
It was supposed to be a beautiful morning,but the shouting and insults from father wouldn't even make it so,not like it was something new,but my little head couldn't take it anymore, why,why,just why do I have to wake up most times to fighting and war,just why would my parents not live in peace like every other couple around....
Useless woman,there is nothing good that I have gotten since you came into my life,you are just a bag of bad luck,father wouldn't stop talking...
Could that be true?,is that even possible,I mean, people always say children are blessings,so definitely my brother and I weren't an exception, why would father say such,I wondered...
If you are not a fool, would you be asking me for money this early morning, wouldn't you know that I would have to go to work first this morning before returning in the evening with something,but of course you don't have sense,so there's nothing you know,father continued...
But dear,do you expect the children to starve, there's nothing in this house for them to eat,the last money I had ,was used yesterday,please,you have to keep something,no matter how little for the children, please,mother pleaded....
You see your life,you are just a liability,and so useless,see I have to be at work,so take your useless self out of my sight, father shouted, pushed her and walked out...
Mother thought I was still sleeping,as I was still laying down beside my younger brother who was very fast asleep....
She sat down helplessly hopeless,it was obvious she had a lot going through her mind.as some tear drops went down her cheeks.....
I was hurting,I knew my mother was,but there was nothing I could do,I was just a child after all.....
My younger brother soon woke up, looking so hungry,,it was his usual behavior,he walked up to mother,,, good morning mummy,I am hungry,he said, bringing mom back from all her travels in thought,she looked up at him and smiled, don't worry big boy,you would soon eat something, mother assured, even though she knew that was a lie, good morning mummy,I greeted, pretending I was just waking up....
Good morning uwa,she replied smiling, how was your night,she asked...
It was fine mother,I answered....
She was looking at both of us,like she had so much to tell us,but our young minds were too young for all she wanted to say,if only she knew I had become very matured in thought,I mean who wouldn't in my shoes,I was just 8,,but with an adult mind....
My brother was 5,he wasn't one to endure hunger,he had started to wear a sad face,I am hungry mummy, Samuel said again...
Other children were getting ready to go to school in the compound,but that wasn't the case with my brother and I,we were supposed to resume new classes,but father had said he had no money for our school,mother was a stay home wife, hence there wasn't anyway she could assist,my brother and I had to stay at home....
My brother and I had our bath, mother was unease, walking to and fro,I Know she was confused,father was nowhere around,and it was way past breakfast.
My brother soon started to cry profusely,he was obviously hungry,I was too,but somehow I knew crying wasn't going to help the situation...
When my mother couldn't bear seeing us in hunger anymore,she held my brother by his hand, while I walked behind her, to the small shop down our street...
Good morning mama Chi, mother greeted the woman who gave her a disgusting look in return....mother stood scratching her head not knowing how to begin her request...
Mama Ade abeg commote from my shop if you no know waiting you go talk...the shop owner said in pigin

My brother was already crying,as he understood there wasn't any hope for a meal...
Mother was pleading in tears,I was heart broken seeing her that way....
I say make una commot for my shop,the woman shouted again.....
Mother took both my brother and my hand, lending us home in tears,when God showed us mercy....
Madam come back,we heard a voice..
looking back it was an unfamiliar face..
Mother didn't know him but she slowly walked up to him with both my brother and I...
Good afternoon madman,the uncle greeted,good afternoon sir,mother replied.i greeted too.
Come and take what ever you'd be needing,he said to mom.
Sirrrrr,mother asked,like she didn't hear properly....
Madam, please take whatever you'd be needing ,these kids deserve to eat,please take anything you need...he said again..
Ahaa!,thank you sir, God bless you,thank you very much,mother said and went to the shop, taking few cups of rice and what she'd need in making it and some garri too....
Thank you sir, God bless you for this,I really appreciate,mother thanked him over and over again....
It's okay madam,the uncle said while mother happily took us home to quickly make the food for us.
In less than 45minutes the food was ready,as it was prepared with fire wood....
Mother served some in a big bowl,while we ate happily, thanking God for provision.....
To be continued..
