BEFORE LOVE

EPISODE 2

As days passed by I kept on going to the bar not that am now a fan of the bar but I can't just avoid the incredible dance steps of the lady. What could be the reason behind such beauty ending up as a bar dancer not even as a super star dancer with all the skills she has. I must find out more about this lady, what made her waste her beauty in this manner and why she chose dancing in the bar as an option, oh no why am I thinking of this lady every now and then, why have my mind made her my priority, why do I feel like I wanna know all about her. No no no, I need to concentrate yes I need to on things that Matter and not some random girl that dances in a bar. I need to focus on my company in growing it more than my father was ever able to, I need to also win the contract it is gonna go a long way in making my company more famous am gonna get more clients and for sure if I win this contract it's gonna give birth to lots more, it's gonna put me at the top, mum's gonna be proud of me, dad too just wish he was alive to witness this great success his son has acquired within the short time of his departure. It's so painful you know after all he was able to achieve he still ends up in the grave as a dead man.

You know life is really unfair good to many and unfair to others which I myself belong to, some times I wonder why it's so. I remember when I was still working in an eatery a family or couple comes and spends money worth more than what we can ever afford within a period of ten months. Yeah I know that's weird but it's actually the truth, imagine a family when we could only afford a two time meal in a whole day, not that the meal would be richly prepared, it's just a total description of what some rich people feed their dogs while others won't even consider it as an option for their dogs. Mr Blair being a kind hearted man gives me something to eat some times especially when a guest gives him extra cash for being able to find such great dancer like my self and when his bar pulls more customers,then we could have dinner that night and some times we preserve it for the following day. Only if things were still how they used to be, only if every thing never changed, only mum never went down in illness Yeah when mum still works I was opportuned to be in school, I was given a normal life like my fellow kids, I still remember when me and my mum would go to the eatery just to have burger with vanilla or chocolate ice cream which was actually my favourite. I got stop fantasising about what am not sure of tasting even once more to the end of my life, I know it's not good being negative, yeah don't blame me for that when we're in a world were the rich keeps on getting rich and the poor keeps on getting poor, while I was schooling I used to have this friend we were actually best of friends....

It's so hectic you know, schooling and running two different companies just can't wait to f*****g graduate, 'graduate' oh no I can't be more funny am actually graduating from senior high school I still have college to attend wow so stressful.

I really need to take a bath eat some thing then rest my head a bit, I won't be going to office today cos my body needs rest a lot of it.

I was half done dressing when the door bell rang, that must be the cook, yes come inn, here's your food she said bowing after she 've served the meal on the serving stool, that's what it feels like being rich respect from all corners despite the level of seniority. You can leave i said and in the same motion she left, out of all other cooks I prefer her cos she was also dad's favourite and she has this special way of spicing the meal that others lacked.

We did lots of things together, went to the places, did our home work, study, and even went to school together but things changed after mum got down with illness, when I stopped school cos mum was unable to work, she would suddenly slump on the floor while working so her employer sacked her, she looked for work in several places just so I would not drop out of school but it all proved abortive,even when she was accepted she would be sacked after her sickness shows itself in the public.

It got worst over time and all mum's life saving was spent on the so called sickness, many tests were conducted in several hospitals and yet none of them are able to detect the name of the illness, so strange right, yeah that's actually the kind of hospitals we could afford so we took herbs(natural medicine) as an option to sustain her life. Little by little her savings dried up, I had to look for work myself although mum wasn't in support of that but what would you have me do, we were out of stock mum had to take the natural medicine, she needs food, I myself have to stop cos no transport to finish the term. I stayed a whole month not attending classes my mates in school visited but Sophie didn't come, I was bittered because I never expected that from her she didn't call even when I called she she still doesn't pick up until the day I bumped into her when I was in search of work in her estate. Sophie what happened I asked, I don't understand she answered rudely, you are my best friend, you heard my mum is sick, Sophie I haven't been in school for few weeks now yet you didn't even visit, are you done with the riddle she asked rudely again throwing her face to a different direction. Sophie did I ever wrong you in any way? am sorry if I did but still it wasn't proper avoiding me that way at this point I needed help support and encouragement i said, are you done ranting see let me tell you what you don't know, there is clear difference between light and darkness.
