They all laughed at one another .mum couldn't believe her ears .she screamed and shouted that she won't be alive to see her son been used as a sacrifice in their cult. they told her she will die that, as long as we have what belongs to them they will not allow us know no peace.A week later mum fell seriously sick .she was taken to several hospitals to no avail .we even took her to native doctors house yet nothing was done her sickness became worse day by day.that was when she told me what dad did just to have money to be among the well known names in the country.i wept and wept and asked why will he go to such length just because of material things .there was no answers to my question .mum died the following day and was burried here. A week later dad's company caught fire,the house I was staying and other properties was taken away from me. I was left homeless and helpless waiting for death to come .when I met you I knew there will be hope for me to live and love again. But then I saw you kiss another man I felt rejected ,confused and used .so I decided we go out to visit my mum's grave yard .but in my mind I have come to die because nobody loves me.no barry don't say that.i have always love you with all of my heart .I care alot about you. Barry: no you don't care. If you do we will both die here . Because this is where my love was burried and I want to be close to her.
