CHAPTER 1. ( HOME)

JULIE POINT OF VIEW (POV)

Home is a beautiful place , I mean a place that gives u comfort, peace of mind and where you can run back to without being rejected, that's what I call HOME.

I was just imagining the change I would see when I get home.

Have been gone for more than a year, and I couldn't stop thinking the hug I would receive form Mom, Dad and my relatives.

The Bus came to a stop, I came down from the bus, and decided to take a walk back home.

I know I should take a taxi but nope, let me take a walk so I could have a good view of the whole area, how it had changed and how many people would still recognize me.

I actually love surprise. And I love Surprising people too.

But when Death surprise us by taking any of our love ones without giving them time to say Goodbye, it hurts.

Those are not the type of surprises I want to have, I need and pray for exciting surprises that can even make me shed tears of Joy.

I was just walking home and was greeted by a lady who was carrying a Baby, I responded and continue my walk home.

I saw some kids playing around.

I just remembered when me and my cousins would be playing hide and seek.

it's amazing to finally be home.

the road looks different to me, when I left the trees by the side of the road where just growing small. But now, it could provide shade for people to sit under.

wow it's nice. A fast growing plant indeed.

I noticed the grasses where dried but those trees where still greenish, cause they have their root deep into the soil.

Anyways I couldn't stop thinking of how surprised my parents would be and I laughed out loud thinking of when we would sit and I would be telling them how my school life went.

And a busy body guy, who couldn't mind his business said;

"What are you thinking that your laughing out loud"

I just looked at him and didn't say anything. I just kept moving and he was following me.

He then asked after some minutes of silence "what's your name"

and I said "Julie", Because I didn't want to be rude to him.

But I kept moving even faster.

He was like "Don't you want to know my name?"

I told him "Next time"

And he went back saying " It's Fine"

And all thanks to God I was in front of our house.

I just didn't care to know whatever he had to say, I just entered into our compound.

I was surprised to see that the carpet grass where still greeny and I knew immediately that my parents have been watering the carpet grass. it was beautiful.

This was the Harmattan period, so it's normal to see the grasses dried up.

And crops are now being watered to survive.

My mind went to how greenish my mom garden would be , so I speed off to the backyard and it was as I thought.

"Beautiful" I screamed out loud.

Oh how I love and admire Nature.

it's beautiful and Amazing.

well let's get inside and surprised everyone with my presence.
