Listen to NF- Oh Lord🎧

**Knock knock**

"It's me Mom, Babygirl I know you don't want to see me or anything but please come out and let's talk. I know I haven't been the best mom recently and I really want to make this work," Shenelle's mom enquired pained.

***Silence***

"Shenelle please answer me. I really love you and I don't like us to be this way. Today is the day, the day that everything changed, The driver is waiting to take us, Please come out,We are getting late."

***Silence***

"Today is your Dad's Memorial,Looking back I never wished it happened, If life gave us a choice to make, I would have never chosen this. Never!! Shenelle he would never had wanted us to be this way, Not even any day in particular but this,on his Memorial. Today is a special day, let's make this work at least for him. Please say something, please!!!"

**Dead Silence**

Finally Shenelle's mom mustered courage pushed the door Knob gently, The door knob she had rarely touched. In as much as she respected her daughter's privacy, she had to barge in now.

To her Outmost shock, Her daughter was no where to be found. She is always in here!
Now alarmed, she scanned through the room and realized that Shenelle's wardrobe had been rummaged and her clothes Scattered all over the floor. Indicating Shenelle had packed out, She searched around for a note or something of assurance but still nothing of that sort.
With a million thoughts flooding through her head,She gave out a loud wail.

"She hates me now,She doesn't want to see me, she's gone". Her eyes welled with tears as they begged to fall out of her lacriminal glands . "Mrs Walker you are not worthy of that name anymore", a voice in her announced.

She tried calling Auntie Naana and other friends of Shenelle, but to no avail, Shenelle was indeed no where to be found.

The house help, the gate man and the driver were all shocked. They had never seen their strong boss breaking down with tears before. It was like a great Wall being shaken. She was confused, She needed someone, Someone to talk to, Someone who understands her no matter what.

"Take me there", She weakly asked the driver

Seeing the inscription,

In Loving Memory of
Mr. William Fiifi Walker
1975-2020

Broke her. It broke her to a million pieces.Many pieces that could never be brought back together.

"Fiifi I've failed, Why did you leave me??
I can't do this all alone", She wallowed.

She lay on the grave,curling her self up, forgetting of how hard the surface was.
Not like she cared!

"I miss your presence, your words of wisdom, I miss you. I get up every blessed day, not knowing how tomorrow will be. I thought I could do this but I just can't."

"Shenelle has changed. Ever since you left she has never been thesame. The house has grown more quieter. I have never seen her smile in a long while. she is always drawn to herself, she hardly talks anymore. I thought giving her space would help both of us heal, but I was so wrong. She has rather become distant.

"Willy, I can't find her. I'm sure you are so disappointed in me. She is no where to be found. I've lost our girl! I've tried everything humanly possible. I just can't find her, Please look out for her up there in heaven, I really need you".

"The Doctor says her heart is failing, Honestly I don't know what to do. She wishes I had died instead of you, You know what I think she is right. I'm tired, I'm so tired and fed up."

"I've always tried to be strong for her, so that she could get a lap to cry on, but it looks like I cannot be strong anymore. I give up!!"

"I remember the day she was born, 20th of August was the best day of our lives. I remember you smiling and cuddling her in your arms. You said she had my bright eyes and she had your lips. Perfect combo isn't it?
And yes, the day she took her first steps, This brought tears to our eyes. Everytime she stood she fell back down, but then you gave her a back push, and there she took that leap! Never falling back down again!

"Willy I know you are silently watching and smiling down at us from heaven. We always envisioned how heaven will be, but still I never expected you to leave this early.We had retirement plans so why now??.
They say we should never ask God why but each day I'm tempted to do so!"

"My health too is deteriorating by the minute. I had to miss Shenelle's review because while In the states I needed to check what was wrong with me. Hmmm. I was diagnosed of having Lypophrenia, Darling I'm so scared!
How I wish you were by my side."

I've never said this but I am so proud of you. I am proud of how hard you have worked in aligning Shenelle. I perfectly understand why you always got angry at me anytime I cancelled family for my business meetings. I have realized I was wrong, I'm so sorry forgive me dear. From now I'm making a conscious effort to be the best version of myself."

"Willy sharing all these with you has eased my burdens, Thanks for granting me a listening ear. You are my best friend forever"

She placed her colourful wreath down. Then She placed another wreath down on behalf of Shenelle. Then she whispered the words, those parting words,

"Da yie wate. (Rest in Peace)
You came, you saw and you conquered.
Till we meet again
I love you and I always will."

Is Shenelle Okay???
I just hope she is.

This chapter has got me thinking alot, And mehn I'm so thankful to God for all I have.
