And What Is This - A Freewrite
After work, I like to walk a bit before taking a taxi to my house reason is because I sit too much at work. One of these days, as I was going, I met an old-time friend.. Waooh, we greeted each other and I asked her what she was doing there. She told me she was waiting for her son, who is going to school (university), and she wants to give him some cash before he leaves.
SourceI told her she won't be able to get a taxi at that spot, so she decided to join me on the walk. We were talking as we were going, it's been a while now, just to ask about her well-being.
She is a single mom of two, not by choice though... Funny, but I remember when one of her husband's relatives came to beat her in her shoe. Hmmm, this time she was no longer with the man ooo... The accusation was that she was using diabolical power on their son... Can't curb my laughter no,w but it wasn't funny then.. As the journey continued, I decided to ask her if she is hearing from the ex-husband I terms of taking care of the children, and that question brought the greatest shock of my life. She told me the man is in the hospital... I was sad..
What happened was my next question, she said the man had an accident and broke his hand, and the hand was amputated.. Jesss ... (the man is a driver by profession) I screamed.... She continued and said the wife (the man's second wife) said she is not going to stay again since he has been amputated, so the same man's family that beat her up came to her to apologise for her to come back to the man.
I was sympathizing before, on hearing what she said, anger rose within me like What the hell is that.... didn't they have shame and at a point kept quiet because I didn't want to do anything thwouldill look abusive. So we departed, but couldn't get over the situation.
Like people have courage ooo the same people that beat and pack her load out came back to beg her when the story as turned sour...taaaah.
