A small, beautiful, and peaceful city called Banama is located in a country named Balma on the continent of Araban. Banawa is a well-known city in the country. They are known for their good work, and they have a lot of amazing sightings such as gardens, mountains, beaches, companies, factories, and many other amusement areas you can think of. It is a very blessed and industrious city where any kind of business survives and thrives. This city was loved by everyone, and everyone lived peacefully. People of different states, religions, and tribes far and near have relocated to live in Banawa because of how blessed the city is. The people of ikiye village had to purchase plots of land in Banawa city to farm because of the blessed soil they have. Not just that, people travel from different countries to explore the city and its beauty and also do different kinds of business. Everything was going on well, fine, and peacefully. Until a certain scientist named Quevo relocated to the city. Quevo is a young, cute, vibrant, and inquisitive man. He was born in a village named Olama. Olama is known to be a poor, underdeveloped village in the same country as Banawa. A lot of residents of the village had to relocate because nothing was going on there. A lot of people wished the village was blessed like Banawa City. Olama lacked riches and good soil for farming, amusement areas, business areas, and many others. So, this was the case with Quevo, the scientist. He grew up as a very inquisitive child, always ready to try out new things, not minding the outcome or not. He grew up as a lonely child, raised by his aunt, Melissa, after the death of his parents in a deadly accident. He was so passionate about achieving so many things in life because he was denied so many opportunities as a child. Melissa was so wicked and cruel to Quevo growing up. She made life miserable for him; she denied him from going to school, starved him of food, treated him like a slave, and made him a slave to her kids. Things continued like this for years until Quevo decided to be responsible for himself and make something good out of his life. He made up his mind to do all it takes to achieve his dream of being a scientist. After all, was said, he decided to take the step of faith. He started going from house to house, door to door, asking for menial jobs he could do for them in exchange for money. He kept going, but nothing came forth; people would chase him away, insult him, and mock him, and he was frustrated and downcast. These continued for months, and Quevo was on the verge of giving up. On a hot afternoon, Melissa returned from the market with her kids, whom she had picked up from school, and stormed into the house like someone with fire under her skirt. Wondering what happened? She got to the market and realized that the money she kept in her bag wasn't complete; she was so sure that Quevo took it because she has never liked him if not that her husband insisted he stay with them. She was so furious, screaming at the top of her lungs like a lion released from its cage. Everybody in the neighborhood came out of their houses wondering what the issue might be. Quevo was shivering and shaking because he knew he was in serious trouble. He was so nervous and crying so bitterly. Melissa’s husband wasn't around, so apparently no one would stand for him. Melissa beat the living daylight out of him to the point that people began to beg; she refused and didn't listen to anyone, with her kids rejoicing and applauding her for a job well done. She throws him out of the house after she has done what her mind desires and doesn't care where he goes. Quevo cried, begged, and pleaded that he was innocent, but she didn't listen. Well, after the plea, he took his bag and left. His aunt and kids were rejoicing; later, the eldest child told his mom that he was the one who hid the money, so she would chase him out because he didn't like the way their dad was always on his side. Quevo focused his life on the side of faith; he was devastated, thinking of what to do next while dragging his bag on the road. He got tired of walking, so he decided to take a rest very close to a farm. He fell asleep because of how tired and exhausted he was. When a stranger named Edy woke him up, he flared up and was scared. He narrated all he had been through to Edy. Edy took him in, and Quevo started living with him and his wife. Edy and his wife had no children, so they took Quevo in as their own, and everyone was happy. Quevo started school, and he was so happy that his dreams were finally coming true. He was making so much progress in his academics. He was so smart, cute, and intelligent, and he had a lot of girl crushes on him. He moved from one step to another in delight; everyone in the community took him as a role model for their kids because of his outstanding results in school. Things went on and on like that for Quevo. At age 18, he got admission to the university, where he studied chemistry. He was so good at what he was doing. He was loved by all and gained a lot of favor with people. Everything was going smoothly and fine for Quevo; he was fulfilling his dreams and living the good life. He was on about his scientific research going from one laboratory to the other. He became a famous scientist in his department because of how creative and outstanding he is. He started exchanging his knowledge for money, and he was doing tremendously well.
