I wish I could turn back the hands of time

Source

I wish I could turn back the hands of time to that fateful day when I made the biggest mistake of my life. I was blinded by greed and a thirst for power that I never knew I had. I betrayed a soul who had stuck by my side through thick and thin, just to get ahead in my life. It was a momentary lapse in judgment that cost me dearly. Now, years later, as I look back at my life, I see the many missed opportunities, the strained relationships, and the loneliness that is my constant companion. I realized that I had traded my soul for a fleeting moment of success. If only I had known then what I know now, I would have resisted the temptation to sell out my values and stood by my friend.

This is what happened. I and chisom had been childhood sweetheart. We grew up together in the same neighborhood and attended the same primary and secondary schools. We were inseparable and everyone knew they would eventually end up getting married. However, the temptation of money and power was too strong for me to resist, and I betrayed her in the worst possible way. My friend, Chuka, had connections with Chief Okoro, a wealthy businessman who was notorious for using young girls for rituals. Chuka convinced me to introduce Chisom to Chief Okoro in exchange for a large sum of money, without knowing that it was for ritual.

I knew that it was wrong, but the lure of the money was too strong to resist. He approached me and convinced her to meet with Chief Okoro. I promised her that it was just a business meeting and that she would be safe. Chisom, being innocent and trusting, agreed to the meeting. The meeting with Chief Okoro turned out to be a nightmare, as that is the last time I saw and talked to her, if you asked me what happened, I don't know, if you asked me how I lost Ada, I can't explain, up till now my spirit does not rest due to the wicked act I committed due to money. This is exactly what happened and up till now, my soul can't rest. I wish death would come and overthrow me but even though I die, my soul will never rest in peace.

I wish I could turn back the hands of time to that fateful day when I made the biggest mistake of my life. I was blinded by greed and a thirst for power that I never knew I had. I betrayed a soul who had stuck by my side forever. Though the damage I caused is irreparable. All I can do now is to learn from my mistakes and never repeat them. I may never be able to undo what I did, but I can choose to live my life with integrity and honor so that when it's time to meet my maker, I can hold my head up high and say that I did the best I could with the time I had.
