MY DAD'S PAST STORY

There was a man in his ending teens, he has long dark hair, cascading down to his back, he has those brown eyes, that are very captivating, with, plumb lips, well carved eyebrows, and a pointed nose, he was very handsome,he was wearing Blue shirt, filled with dirt,and some shorts, he sat under the tree as he felt his life easily slipping away from him, he has tried so hard, his body cleched, wrapped himself up in a ball, as he allowed his tears flow like the July rain drops, he cried till there was no more tears, there was nothing he was feeling at that moment but rather an unmeasurable pain, that can't be cured by any doctor or Psychiatrist , as he remembered , how he is feeling this raw emotions of unquenchable pain.

"Noohh...nohhh.. please why me, I said why me, why me" he shouted into the cool breeze of the morning, he allowed the last stench of his air to slip away as he succumb to the darkness, he immediately fainted like that was his last energy that he used in shouting to no one in particular.

MY DAD'S POINT OF VIEW

I sat down on the wooden couch, as I stirred at my dad, he was the type of dad would always give me peace when my mind is always in turmoil, he secured me when am not protected, he guides me to the right part, when am going astray, he leads me to the gravity of what life cn carry, he assures me everything am losing hope on myself, that was the kind of  dad I had.

I went outside our small house, the house was very simple, it was simply built because we have that tranquility between my family despite the fact I never hada many privileges like my peers, but my dad would continue to assure me, that everything would be alright, everything would turn out to ne better eventually, then I'll believe him, as long he was the one that told me that.

Not until everything changed that was the day that became my worse nightmares, the day I'll never forget no matter how hard I tried, no matter how hard I tried to assure myself that everything would be alright, as my dad would tell me.

I swent outside and feel the cool breeze, the fresh air that that can calm my emotions, and bring my thoughts together, then I went to the gardens to fetch some fruits, as I was already starving, I know my dad was in the room watching TV, while my mum was knitting, that's her work and she enjoys it ,when I plugged an a ripe apple, I wanted to go inside the house to start some house chores, I'll also wash this apple so I can munch the appetizing flavor, then I hear a voice in the background like it was talking to someone, I sneak my way closer then I heard the voice clearer, it said

"Let's go inside I heard,he was keeping two thousand dollars, for his son, so his son can have a good education,so let's go there and force him to tell us where the fuck is the money, so we can become filthy rich,if he doesn't give us the money then let's kill I'm, anyone who tried to oppose us let us finished them," the man with black and a black mask said.

"Yes boss, but what if they'll call the Corps?" The man with blue and black mask asked.with a hint of fear.

"Don't worry, we won't allow that" he said confidently.

After hearing their conversation I immediately ran to the sitting room and told my dad to aboyt what I just heard he immediately told me to go inside the basement, which I blatantly refused, Because for Christ sake, how'll leave my parents at that vulnerable situation, yeahj yeah I know am not as strong as him, as agile as him, but I'll try my best to protect him, the way he has been protecting me,

"son I Know you want to be brave, but I promise you son I got this, you have to believe me this This, please" I hear my dad pleaded desperate so I can understand, this is so hard to understand, but for today I just have to understand, i Hesitated before I obliged, when I entered the basement I heard my dad started calling my mum, I think he was calling her so she can join me in the basement, I went the door like I was forcefully broken, but I just have to keep quiet,just because my dad told to me so, or nothing else, TheN I hewrd my day saying"what did you want with my family, Haven't you done enough already?" My dad asked in pure frustrations, and he shouted menacingly.

"No we're are not done yet, with your family,we need the two thousand dollars, that was kept for your boy, besides old man .. where the fuck did you keep him, I can feel him in this house, but where Is he" the man in black clothes and a black mask shouted in frustration.

"And you bastards think I'll tell you.... ?"my dad asked rhetorically as he laughed hysterically.

"Tell me where he is or I'll shoot your wife"theman in black clothes and black mask threatened.

"Then what are you waiting for, shoot her.."

"Forgot about the money just hand over the cash then we would be out of here" the man shouted with a hint of fear, because of my dad's confident yet intimidating aura.

"Besides which money is my parents talking about, so my dad has a huge amount of money,yet we're are scarcely feeding?" I asked inwardly, i never knew I'll eventually live to experience this,but did the robbers say, that the money was kept for my education?, My dad is alive he don't need to gather the money for my education? Is there something am not aware of? Right now my head is spinning with turns of unanswered questionsi sat down feeling light headed, as I rest my head on the wooden basement wall, it involuntarily made a huge sound, that let me in immediate panicK.

"Who's there, I said who's there.."the man shouted at my direction, I felt scared, terrified, that's right now this might be the end of mei know I ha messed up a few times, but i thiz moment am totally screwed, I don't know how to start or where to go, but God please have mercy on my family,and spare us just for today.
