Forlorn Hearts

chapter 3 The old man

                   <<<<<Ameel's POV>>>>>

As the Chinese looking girl walked pass me I feel her melodious but stressed voice bade me "goodbye"

Her name was called but I did not quite hear it well

I smoothly reply with an agape mouth "bye"

I finish emptying my own trash and walk home remembering the event that occur earlier between me and "that thing"!

FLASHBACK

I woke up as early as I could before the adhaan for subh was called and finish the early morning routine of cleaning the stable and the horses,feeding the cats and making sure they are healthy, cleaning every inch of the house and making sure that "that thing" wakes up in time and procced to the masjid for subh

I prayed to Ya rahman,Ya rahim to make me be able to endure this for the time being, for I know verily no condition is permanent, every thing will surely come to an end.

Upon exiting the masjid I meet an old man by the masjid side from all indications something was bordering him and I asked may I sit beside him cause I really wanna know what was bordering him he looks quit pitiful he answered "why not" and I took a sit

"sir may I know what's wrong with you please" I ask with best manner he just look at me a and give me a sweet smile that makes my entire day making me remember the last smile I saw on my dad's face. "SABIR" was all he could say, "my sabir is still not back",

I give him a confused look and he proceed to talk "I am waiting for my son sabir to return "he said with a shaky voice,"from where"? I asked confused, I don't know where he is, he just told me to wait for him no matter what and continue praying for his safe return,he told me he was going to make life easier for us,he'll earn and make us happy and complete again as we are since we lost the love of our lives his mom, my beloved wife he said the last word in tears.

I suddenly remember my queen mom and my eye became watery

I was speechless because of the heart breaking story I've just heard from the poor old man "don't worry am sure were ever sabeer is he is in his way to being successful,I wipe the tears that were rolling down his cheeks and hug him allowing him cry on my shoulders which make me feel at ease knowing he's okay now and I offer him the last card in my pocket 500naira at first he refuses to collect but I insist

Surviving uni is hard enough, I also have to survive sukaina

And then I spot her coming angrily, am dead
