Day2
Our HomeI heard of a woman who had two children but unfortunately her husband was a drunkard.
This woman was an illiterate but has the determination to make her children learn the westernal education to any stage.
At a point, her husband abandoned her and the kids all alone. This woman kept struggling day in, day out. At weekend, She'll woke up, ask her children to read all they've taught during the previous week, to her hearings, she can't even comprehend any word from what her children read, yet she'll make them read.
Whenever the childrens are sent out of the class for school fees she ran helter-skelter, from one house to another looking for who needs an assistant to watch cloth or do the house chores for them to be paid after the job is done, just to fulfill the school payment.
One day, a neighbor who hates seeing her for nothing sake, pretended to send the woman an errand, as the woman got to her door step, the neighbor then shouted on her. "Help! Help! Help!, Thief! Thief! Thief!" All the other neighbors came out, they met a pot of stew in the woman's hands, wondering what's happening with the surprising look. "Iya Tunmishé what happened" a chorus question from the neighbors to the poor woman, tears suddenly rolls down from her eyes with shame, "she was the one who sent me to the market to buy pepper and other ingredients to make stew and also asked me to prepare it with the hope of paying me afterwards". Some people aborted the blame on Iya Tunmishé, while some murmured saying the neighbor created the scene as a bait not to get Iya Tunmishé paid for the work done.After years, the both children of Iya Tunmishé (Tunmishé and Tobiloba) has grown, they are now well okay with wealth. Tunmishé is a certified Engineer and Tobiloba is a brilliant heart surgeon.
It's time for Tunmishé's wedding, he has prepared enough to make the day a Memorable and remarkable event ever. He then requested to his mother to search for his father to be present on this joyous day. Tunmishé's mother didn't agree but cried and made him realized that "I have suffered a lot over you guys, I should be the one alone also to sow the fruits I've long time laboured for, as I've bared the pain consequences over you without his present, but with God alone, I survived".
Tunmishé stood up to invite their relatives to plead to his mother, but yet she never go back on her words.Afterall, the wedding went by without Tunmishé's father. Tunmishé and his wife left the country for Dubai for honey moon to spend 5months before they return back home. Suddenly not quite long after the wedding, Tobiloba felt sick, serious sickness. That he's short of blood and need a donor to donate blood for him. His mother wanted to donate her blood, unfortunately, her blood can't be used because she's a sickler. "Now let have his father's blood or any other relative's" the Doctor said. Iya Tunmishé had no choice but to hunt for his husband who has been supporting himself with stick at his village. He was shocked to see his long time wife coming down from a luxury jeep with some of her relatives. They plead to him and begged him to follow them to donate blood for his son. They explained everything to him, he then cried and realized his bad past. He followed them to donate his blood for the child and he survived.
Tunmishé arrived back from Dubai to Nigeria after he received a letter from the Doctor that his wife is 2 months pregnant. He was happy and glad when he also get to know that his father has been found and now returned to live with his mother. He was told how the whole story goes. He got home and tell both his mom and dad that, they planned the whole scenarios. from Tobiloba's sickness and the fake blood test result of his mother, just to place everything in order and for his mom to bring back their father back home, and he patiently and wisely acquire what he had long time desire, and now they all live as a united and happy family.
