THE LONG JOURNEY THAT I WOULD NEVER FORGET IN MY LIFE.

It was so cold and draughty when my father came into my room. He called my Name "Abdurrahman " three times before I noticed he was, I answered "yes Daddy" in a lower voice, and he further continued "my son I want to inform you that your grand father said that he would took you to Maiduguri in the next month in other to visit his uncle who is living there with his family, that they spent many years without seeing each other, since I was 25 year old".And we are know currently in month of October, he turned to my mother "we have to start preparing him before the time " he said. At that time, I was extremely happy because I was never being to Maiduguri before, so I wait until they finished their conversation. In school, there is one friend of mine who was always being telling me that I was born in Kaduna and I would stay ever in it. I was eager to take a leave to school, I took my breakfast and ran immediately to school to meet him. Unfortunately, I meet him with a great joy and shake hands together with greeting each other. We move to class, after we have taken our lecture I called him aside because he was a such friend that keeps a secret to whom he associated with. I told him what ever happened, his face suddenly changed its mood and asked him why? "I will miss you alot my friend" he replies.
