It was a special day , it was my birthday and i was turning 14 on the 3rd of September 2014 , as usual , after school i have to walk to my father's store , which is only 2 blocks away from school , and i know he has something special for me , my dad always buys the best gifts , i trust him on that one ...
'happy birthday my sponono (my beautiful girl) , you are growing so fast , happy birthday my big girl ", my dad welcomed me with a big smile , and i noticed a cake on the counter . I call my dad a "business man" , my dad is very smart , he owns two clothing shops in town , hence i consider him a business ma . He is very responsible and makes sure that his family is forever happy .. i jumped and hugged him to thank him for the cake and the birthday wish ..
Mandi: Thank you Papa (dad) , i love you , .. dad let me go to the rest room , then il come help you around the store ..
Dad: okay my angel , hurry up i have a surprise for you .
I tossed my backpack on the table then i hurried to the rest room ...... i could hear the door of the harshly closing , i got dressed and hurried back to the shop ... as i was walking closer , i could hear my dads echo in the hallway , "please dont kill me , take anything you want ", i heard 2 unfamiliar voices , swearing and yelling , i was confused , and scared , i walked closer and closer , and peeped to see whats going on... . whenever i close my eyes , i still see the man that took my dad away from me , while i was watching , in splits seconds , and 3 gunshots , my dad fell on the ground while his spirit was exiting his body and asscending to heaven , while the men took the money and all the valuable things , i sat there ,crying silently , till they walked away ... i still remember the cruel eyes of the man that killed my father , i dream about this every night ...
