THE BAPTISM OF FIRE

THE NASTY RAGE

Anger should be contained so that decisions are made during the cold light of the day, when one can think rationally, and this will circumvent an inevitable destructions. I had an old friend by the name Philip. He worked in the brewery industry as a clerk. He was never in the manager's good books, he met a drastic punishment from the manager at the slightest errors. The manager's mood was mercurial to Philip for the unknown reasons. He kept castigating Philip and warning him that his work was not up to the scratch and that he should shape up or ship out but in the really sense, his work was excellent. Nelson the factory manager, worked with his wife in the same factory. She was an electrical manager and they both had spiteful feelings about Philip as they were a couple. Philip was wise, and with his cultivated reflective faculty, he realized that his cuteness was a nail in the coffin, and women got easily infatuated with him. This was cooking his goose because the manager got jealousy. One day morning, Philip was sacked by the manager, condemning that his work was not up to the standard. He went back home with a puzzled and pensive mind. He decided to stay indoors for a week. After his meditation, he figured out a nasty destructive solution out of anger. He had no remorse and sympathy for what he had planned to do to scatter the manager's life. He organized a gange of bandits and kidnapped his wife. They absconded with her to the border of Kenya and Somalia, and put her in a dilapidated hut where they met Philip. He kept r****g her for a whole year he held her in his custody without moving out of the hut and plenty threats. She plunged her to a family way and finally got birth to pouncing twin baby boys. She already had two daughters with her husband and this made up four children. Her beloved husband searched for her in all nooks and reported to various police stations but she was nowhere to be found. He was heartbroken that he could no longer work very well and ended up being sacked. He went through the mill, agony and pain which took toll on him. The world w..as turning into hell. His children were mentally tortured, traumatized and becoming a bag of skins and bones for missing their mother. They were transferred from prestigious schools to the ordinary schools because their father had lost the job and everything went down on its knees. Philip organized with the same bandits and returned the manager's wife home with the two twins. Her healthy was breathtaking, it deteriorated due to malnaurishment and mental torture. She narrated the whole story the way it happened. She looked so heartbroken but her husband accepted her back with her sons and consoled her. He took her to the hospital for the mental therapy to help her recover from the trauma. Her two daughters shed tears of happiness for the return of their lost mother alive, even though she was in a poor health.
