This chapter is dedicated to Hiszahra ismerheal and Masjid_Alee your comments mesmerized me to update earlier. Thank you so much!
Days turn to weeks and weeks turn into a month. It been exactly three month already, just in a blink of an eye, Alhaji Muhammad agogo became nobody again. His mansion, company, and cars are all collected to refund the loan.
Life was getting harder with each passing of the day, he wish the surgery was not successful at all. He wish to be in his early grave than to face all the embarrassment he felt now__ indeed just has love is not a bed or roses same goes to life too, it is never a bed of rose. Power is something that ends someday, just like life. It is always conquer by a bigger power someday." He thought and sip a bowled of water with so much pain. Not an internal pain but a pain worst than that__ emotional pain, it constricted deep within his soul. His daughter called jolted him out of his thought.
"Dad" She called again. "He uhm snapping out of his thought and facing her.
Dad have been calling you severally but you were so lost, you didn't even notice my entrance. Dad why can't you just let it go. Have faith for once please everything happen for a reason there is nothing we can do to stop it when it been written upon us." She stated getting pissed off with her dad attitude
Dad please be thankful in every situation you find yourself in, my last days at school was a torture and exams were approaching then, there was nothing I could do about it, I became a laughing stock at school, people laugh at me at every moment they sighted me, they mock me, I can't even start mentioning what I face in school back then dad, I never told you any of it so you don't get worried and blame yourself. It was painful dad but I was able to endure it till my signed out day." Tears stream down her face as she remember those horrible days back in school.
I know and believed that one day everything will be alright, this is just a little of our own medicine, it is a karma! I wish I had listen to mum from the beginning instead of you, I wish I had follow mums steps rather than yours, I wish I could rewind the clock back to been my odd self, I wish " She trailed off. Her voice breaking as she cried.
Hajiya Rukkayah who has been eavesdropping behind the door came forward and lean her shoulder for her daughter to cry on. She couldn't entirely blame deejah for how she talk to her dad__ perhaps he will get it right now that his daughter said it to his face. " Is okay khadijah, cry no more." She said trying hard to stop her tears from falling.
"Mum it was so painful to endure, and to just make everything worst Mina distance herself from me. She sa...id she have to...to st..op walking with me because she can't endure been embarrassed or walk with a pe..nu..ry like me anymore" She kept stammering as she remember what her best friend said to her face. She never believed Mina to say that to her face without feeling any remorseful about it but just as it said life is indeed full of surprised__ your best friend who you share everything with today can be your enemy tomorrow.
Mum I'm astray, dad lead me astray. Please forgive me, forgive my every steps,forgive for everything have ever done to you, mum please forgive me for every tears that ever fall out of your eyes because of me, forgive..." She was cut off with a tight hug. "Say no more have truly forgiven you a long time ago, I will never hold a grudge at my child." Tears cascaded down her eyes seeing her daughter this way.
Thank you mum, I promise to change forever and will also make your wishes come true. I will look for them and asked for their forgiveness, I will start joining you in kitchen and I will get married when I find a good suitor immediately after My NYSC " She wipe her mum tears with her palm.
