Isaac Came Back Empty Handed.

avatar

Isaac was kneeling right in front of his mother while she was giving him the warning of his life. She said;
You’re never going to be an artiste. I see the way artistes draw tattoos and show off their bodies just because they are celebrities and I do not want you to be like that. The only thing I want you to do is go to school and come out and flying colors so I can get you a good job his mother yelled.

Isaac left her presence and went to the room to cry his eyes out because he really wanted to be an artiste. Isaac is very brilliant in school and that is why his mother sells him all the time to keep studying so she could get him a job he finishes his education. He sometimes calls his family members or the friends of his mother so they could persuade her to let him become who he wants to be, but she never listens to them and unfortunately, she started falling sick and the doctor made her know that she’s hypertensive. Henry said…
Mama Isaac, it will be good if you can reduce the way you shout or totally stay away from anything that will stress you

Those were the last words the doctor said to Mama Isaac but she went home again always shouting at Isaac. Isaac got tired of the way his mother yells at him all the time and he felt the best thing he could do was run away from home since his friends advised him to run away from the house. Also, Isaac has listened to so many songs or stories that artistes say that the ran away from their homes to become better people and they eventually went back home to make their family proud and take care of the home.
His mom actually tried her best to look for him, and she even made a promise that if she eventually finds him and brings him back to the house, she will let him do whatever he wishes to do and she’s never going to dictate for him again, but he was nowhere to be found.

Do you know where Isaac went to? Henry went to meet some guys who promised to help him earlier but when Isaac became a part of them, he got to know that all that glitters is not gold.
Before helping him, they asked him to take an oath with them to know that he’s fully ready. He did that and they introduced the next line of action to him which was him having to smoke some substances so he could be high. They saw that as a means of inspiration. Once you’re high, you should be more creative. That’s their thought and belief.
Isaac has spent three good years with those guys and forgot that his mother might be somewhere looking for him. He got so addicted to the substances that he can’t go a day without taking them and can’t even release a good music without taking those things. He didn’t become very famous but gradually, he was becoming well known.

Someone can be well known without having a lot of money. Instead of Isaac to save up a lot of money from the little he’s making from his songs, all he could do is buy more weed for more inspiration and he will still spend the money he makes on weed again. What a life!
After four years, his boss asked him to go his mum. He said;
You don’t know how your mum has been living for over four years that she hasn’t seen you. How do you think she will feel right now? You need to go home!
He threatened Isaac to go back home.

The poor boy went home to see his mum and got an information that she is late. He felt bad and regretted ever leaving his mother even though he knew clearly that she was hypertensive.
It’s even worse that he could not get his mother the cheapest thing on earth while he was going to see her.
What’s the point of leaving home for over four years? He had a blind ambition and didn’t care about what happens to his mother who was the last person he has on earth.

He went back to his boss letting him know what has happened. Eventually, he became very great and visits his mother’s grave almost all the time to forgive him for having a blind ambition.

Well, my own intake is that Isaac's mum should have tried to guide him through. Once you start to notice that your child has a talent, the best thing to do is to guide him or her through that talent, if you don't he is she will learn somewhere else, and trust me, he or she will learn the dark side of it

She tried his best but he was just so stubborn and felt the best thing to do is run away from the house
