THE TALE OF LOVE (Episodes 1) ~ Endurance Seth

A true love is a paradise of happiness clouded with sorrow and misery, A true love never dies for even in the after life their spirits shall be re-united again, only those who patiently seek for it
shall taste it, A true Love is like a pure glittering Gold in the heart of a burning flame, it shines and sparkles more even when the flames rose hard to burn it.

My Name is Richard, i was born in 1991, into the family of a poor farmer, my parent have three children i am the second born, a family of two boys and my younger sister.
My elder brother have to drop out of school in primary Six (6) for me to continue, because my father wasn't financially buoyant to sponsor the both of us at the same time, since i am likely to
be more brilliant than my brother, the family
decided to work hard in order to pay my school fees.
After my brother dropped out One of Our
neighbour took him to Onitsha to learn trade so that he will be able to assist the family in the future.

It only took God's grace for me to finish my
secondary school successfully because of our financial contrains.
After my WAEC i began to patiently and
hopefully wait for my result, though i had no
hope of furthering my education, but atleast I pray for my WAEC result to be good so that my parent effort during my Secondary school will not be a waste. I was a loyal and a humble boy who will not look into my parent eyes two times if they are talking to me, indeed my mum and dad were so proud of me, the villages were so jealousy of how i am helping my parents to do all domestic work and even their farm work. My
family was proud of my humility, my mother will never cease praying for me every day and night.
I and my mother was going to the farm one
morning when we saw a Car driving towards our
directions, we stood at side of the road waiting for the Car to by pass us before we move because its a narrow road, as we were standing and waiting, the car stopped at our front and a young handsome tall man of about 45years came out.
Mama let follow the other side and go, i said to my mother. Then we heard greetings behind us, Goodmorning Mama Richard, the man greeted. I saw in my mother eyes that she was amazed because she probably do not recognize that face again.
Goodmorning my Son; how are you? My mum responded.
I am fine. Mama Richard didn't you recognise me again? I am Ezekiel the son of Abada from Emagaba's Village, you and your husband saved my life 20YEARS ago when i fell from a Palm tree near Ubelle River.
Oh! my mum son forgive me, you know you have grown older, since your father came and took you we didn't hear from you again! Thank God you survived it that accident was meant to be fatal.
Yes mama God saw me through, is this your son? He asked? Yes this is Richard, mama responded.
He is now a big boy, he was just 5years when I was receiving treatment in your house.
Richard how are you?
Am fine sir! I answered. Which class are you? I just Wrote WAEC last two months sir. That is good, Mama how about Baba? He ask my mum.
He is at home, he is not feeling too well so he couldn't go to farm today. Mama responded, Mama i need to see you and Baba urgently, i will be going back to the city tomorrow.
So mama you both shuld enter the car let go back home, no farm today.
My mum agreed and we enter the car and he drove home.
After the exchange of pleasantries between Mr Ezekiel and my dad. We all sat and was waiting for what he has to say.
Baba and Mama am sorry for not coming back to thank you after saving my life that day, it was because immediately i was healed, my elder sister took me to the city, since then it has become like a depth to me, thank God i came across mama on her way to the farm today.
I lived in Abuja with my families, am a business man, i import and export goods, now that Richard has grown i will like to take him with me to handle my shops. That is the only thing i can do to relieve me of the depth i owe your family for saving my life. My mum and dad was shock and suprise.
Ezekiel my Son thank you so much, we will not resist your offer rather than to thank you, but promise us you will take care of him, Richard is the hope we have, my dad said slowly.
Yes BABA i promise i will take care of him like my own son. Mr Ezekiel responded.
Richard how do you see what mr Ezekiel said ? will you follow him to the city? My dad asked me.
