My father sent me to one of his old time friend living in China to learn sea business which comprised of shipping in goods and exporting purchased goods in and out of China through see.The living cost was very high and it was not easy on my parent's they were responsible for the up keep of me and my little brother John.They did all kinds of job just to see me through college and now i was done with my secondary education and my little brother John was still in his first year in college.My parents did not have enough money to train i and my little brother, so after i graduated from college, they asked me to go and look for job, and also help them in training my little brother from school.I went to China as my father introduced me to his childhood friend Fred, who was a business man.Uncle Fred accepted to train me as his own son in the sea business as my father explained to him on phone that things were really tough for us at home and we may be homeless if nothing is done soon as w
I woke up the next morning very tired as the previous day was very stressful.I called my parents and informed them that i am now in China and Mr. Fred has promised to come and pick me up the next day.Hello daddy! Hello Sam! How are you?I am fine sir, daddy i called to inform you that i am now in China though still in a hotel.Wow, that is a good news, but hope you have called Mr. Fred?Yes sir, i called him yesternight and he informed me that he was out of town, so i should wait at the hotel for him, that he will be coming to pick me tomorrow morning.Ok son, you have really done well, God bless you. But son!Daddy!Do not forget that the reason why we asked you to go and learn that work is so that you will be able to learn it properly and start up your own.You know you are the only hope your little brother has now to further his education as i and your mother will be retiring next year from work and you will have to take care of all of us as a family.So put your whole strength
Mr. Fred called, Sam!Sir.Ehmm...you smell nice, i guess you found my son's favourite perfume.Yes sir, i saw it behind the curtain, i am sorry sir.No! It's fine, i am just glad you settled well even though you smell like my son.Everyone laughed and little drop of tears started flowing through his wife's eye.Oh dear, you don't have to cry, it will be fine.Not really, i never thought someone will ever love what my son loved since he died and here is Sam, even his smiles reminds me of Jeff.Honey! I know.I'm sorry for ruining this beautiful moment but you made me remember how he used to smile while coming from his room anytime i was the one who made dinner and before he comes down, he will make sure he is scenting nice as he loved his sister to acknowledge his presence and appreciate his handsomeness.It's fine ma, i am glad i didn't cause any trouble. I am really sorry to bring back those beautiful memories you guys shared together and refreshing the healed scars.It is ok, let's

The remaining days of the week was normal, no too many going outs and all that.Just that Angel made sure that we spent each minute with each other.I woke of one morning thinking about her and all the time we have spent together, it is really cute seeing that i found someone who could make me happy with ease.Am i really in love with Angel or i am just fond of her?I really do not know what to say but i truly know that i love Angel and moreover she makes me happy.I tried to fight the feeling because it seemed i was over reacting, so i stood up from my bed, went to the shower and had my bath.I was bathing when the thoughts of her started flooding my head as a river. I could not concentrate.I came out of the bathroom and realized i have spent close to 2 hours in there, that is really strange.I went downstairs after and had breakfast before returning to my room, i just avoided having to talk to her that morning because i don't know how i was feeling.I didn't want to say, it is love
The next morning i woke up very early and started preparing for my first day at work.I was really excited, i took my bath, dressed up and went into Angels room but i realized she was still sleeping so i decided not to disturb her sleep. I went downstairs to have breakfast and as i got there i met Mr. Fred on the table already and his wife serving him a cup of tea and few slice of bread.I greeted, "Good Morning Mr. Fred", "Good Morning mummy."I called her mummy because she was nice to me for the one week i have spent with her in the house.Good morning Sam, she said."Oh, you called my wife 'mummy' and you are calling me 'Mr. Sam right?" Just be ready to work your as* out today.No sir, it is not like that, i am sorry."Good morning daddy." I corrected smiling."Good morning my boy, how was your night?" It was fine sir and yours?"We thank God."I sat down close to Mr. Fred and his wife served me a hot cup of tea and three slices toasted bread.We ate in silence and when we were d
I woke up the next morning early as the company's alarm rang for all workers to wake up.After taking my bath and dressing up, i went out to work and everything continued as the previous day.In the next 5 years i was done learning and Mr. Fred spoke to the CEO of the company and he decided to employ me.I received my employment letter and started working in the company and i was happy with my monthly salary which was US$200 per month which after I'm paid i do send US$150 to my parents in the United States of America.My parent were retired and had no pension to keep up and my brother John was seeking admission to enter the higher institution.I tried my best to send to them US$150 each month and they managed it.One hot afternoon, i received a call from my brother John.And i asked him why he was calling me with my parents phone and in the afternoon. He told me that my father was admitted into the hospital.I was nervous and i asked him why and he said the doctor have not told him w
I informed Mr. Fred as we got to the house that i will be travelling first thing tomorrow morning to give the doctor the money for the surgery and he gave me some words of encouragement.I went inside the house as he was packing his truck.Angel met me and asked me how it went.I told her, let us go into her room and we went into her room.I explained to her everything thar happened and my intentions to travel the next morning to give the money to the doctor so that the surgery can commence.She encouraged me too and asked me to always call her and tell her the recent development.I promised her that i will call her everyday until i get back.She followed me to my room and i went into the bathroom and took my bath while she helped in packing my stuffs for me.The next morning, i woke up very early but i realized she slept off in my room last night.We were discussing until both of us slept off.I carried her and dropped her on the bed and went into the shower, after which i dressed up
