chapter one

I was asleep when my brother woke me up at 8 0clock but I was so tired to get up until my brother said the words I have been longing to hear.
“wake up it’s your wedding”
Yes, I have been waiting for this day my whole life.
I got dress the makeup artist did my makeup it was time for the ceremony I went to get my veil until I stumble upon a book I wrote about my life I stared at it for over a minute until my brother came to tell me to read the book to him and I could not say no so here we go.
***************************************************************************
I had the best mom and the worst dad my dad was the worst person I ever met but I still loved him. So one day my mom came home from the hospital and said to me and my dad
“I am pregnant”
I was so happy so that night I could not sleep I kept thinking of my mom’s baby things like is the baby a boy or girl kept running through my mind but I tried to get some rest. The next day my dad told me to go to the market for my mom so I went to the market I was not used to it for but if you go to the market for 9 months you will get used to it. So my mom was in the hospital the doctor was delivering the baby I was too tired to wait for my mom and her baby so I slept. My dad woke me up and the first thing I saw was my new born baby brother I was so happy until my dad said the worst word ever he said
“your mom did not make it she died”
My dad was so selfish that he told me to take care my brother alone. So every day I took my baby brother to the street to beg for food sometimes I go to my so called father to beg for food most of the times he says
“do you think I have food on my head you better carry your baby away from here”
So he stared calling my brother and his son my baby. Sometimes I just felt like crying but I would see my brother and feel better day turn to weeks and weeks turns to month before I could save up to two thousand naira it was my brother birthday so that morning I took my brother to my father to beg for blessing and said
“father today is your sons birthday won’t you bless him
My dad says
“come child”
I was so happy that my father had change so I went closer to him with a big smile on my face, my dad gave me a very hot slap and says
“firstly never call him my son he is not my son he is your baby so get out of my sight now”
With anger I said
“what a selfish and stupid man you are, am going to celebrate his birthday and have fun”
Before I could leave he held my hand and threw me in an empty room preventing from celebrating my brother birthday.
