Gazing at the site where the little dilapidated house used to stand, James couldn’t help but suddenly feel like he has lost something of great importance. To be honest, apart from only glancing at this building alone in the past, James has never entered it before. This wasn’t only because his aunt had forbade him from doing so, but also because James himself wasn’t interested in entering. But right now, seeing only ruins in the place, James wasn’t able to pinpoint the reason behind the sudden loss and sadness he was feeling. Standing by his side was Ronald who was presently gazing pitifully at James from time to time. Of course, his mom has explained vividly to him about James, so he couldn’t help but pity him. He saw James as his big bro, so he couldn’t stand it at all seeing this expression on his face, then after hesitating for a few seconds, he moved closer to him and suddenly patted him gently on the shoulder. This touch instantly startled James awake, then he hurriedly gla
«To my lovely son,If you are reading this letter, then that meant one thing; you ended up not being ordinary after all.Son, as much as I wished to be happy about this news, I wouldn’t because of what was at stake.I won’t be telling you much in this letter though, other than a few things.Son, please make sure to follow closely everything I tell you in this letter, as they are very important.»James suddenly sighed greatly as he reached this point, then he shifted the long leaflet up and continued reading.After the trio returned home not long ago, James suggested for the four people’s family to read whatever the content in the bottle was, but his Aunt Sally who is always very thoughtful stopped that.She told James that whatever is in the bottle should be meant alone for him to read and that them seeing it might not be what his parent would be happy about since it might contain some secrete, so this was how James got here, alone in the room. To be honest, James had thought
“You are leaving already?!” “You want us to follow you?!” Both Aunty Sally and Ronald suddenly questioned James in unison. Only Uncle Dave could be seen gazing at James right now, looking thunderstruck without making a single sound. As for James. Upon hearing the two questions, a gentle look appeared on his face, then he spoke softly to his Aunty. “Yes ma, I’m already missing out on my studies, so it's better I return now.” Aunty Sally's mouth twitched a bit, but at the end of the day, she only heaved a deep sigh before she decided not to comment. Seeing this, James turned to Ronald. “Yes. I’d love to take everyone with me.” “Hun… hold on a bit, hold on!” Completely stomped, Aunty Sally suddenly raised a palm to interrupt James. “What are you talking about?” She asked James with her mouth hanging open. First confused, James finally understood what was going on, then he became embarrassed. Scratching his head awkwardly, James suddenly stuttered. “Hum… aunty, as you can see
The next day, James woke up very early, feeling a great sense of refreshment all over his body.Perhaps, it might be the result of how busy he had been these past few days, which was what made the sleep he had from the previous night till this morning one the best in days.It might also be because of the familiar environment he returned to, which made James almost swear to himself that it had been way too long since he last felt this greatly relieved and refreshed.He stretched his body happily, which instantly reciprocated, making crackling sounds all over.Suddenly, James heard the sound of a bull snoring beside him which instantly startled him.Glancing at his side, a helpless smile appeared on his face.“This dude hadn’t changed even after these years,” he muttered softly to himself as he watched Ronlad sleep peacefully while making thunderous roars from his throat.After a while, James entered the washroom to wash himself and brush his teeth.When he was done, stil
At this moment, although the people oppressing Ado village have already been sent off and dispelled, the village is still as quiet as it has been some days ago. It wasn’t that the atmosphere was heavy or so, but rather because the villagers were still unable to adapt to this sudden change yet. It must be known that they have been oppressed every day for the past few years, so the sudden calmness felt a little too strange for them. The only thing that changed was everybody's faces or most of the villager's faces. Instead of the scared and nervous expressions on them some days ago, their faces were mostly filled with relief and happiness right now. “I was there, however, he dragged Jimoh the devil out from his base like a stray stray dog!” Someone could be seen narrating quietly but excitedly in a corner right now. It was a middle-aged man who looked like a storyteller, and in front of this middle-aged man was some bunch of kids with amazement and shock written all over their face
Apart from the old man Idowu, the mouth of everybody that just came out of the house was utterly wide with shock at this moment.This was especially so for Ronald who has never seen a sight like this before in his life, he was deeply astonished.After the entourage are finally parked, the driver's doors started opening one after the other, then from within the cars, the drivers began to emerge.They first glanced around them as if they were searching for someone, then the moment they spotted whom they were looking for, they all rushed forward with visible respectful expressions on their faces.“Good day, boss!” James became startled while the entire village became flabbergasted.‘Are… are these people his workers?!” One of the villagers that ran along the entourage to witness where they were headed couldn’t help themselves from crying out in shock.“Wouldn’t… wouldn’t that mean he… he owns all these god-level cars?”Everybody began to gasp with shock and amazement
Upon hearing James’ response, although Ronald Immediately wanted to continue bugging Him, he decided against it when he felt his mother's glare at him.Thankfully for him and the entire villagers, it doesn’t take long before the trampoline used to cover the car was removed, then everybody became flabbergasted once again.“What… what is that?!”An old man who knew nothing couldn’t help but question loudly when he saw the fiction-like object with wheels that sat at the back of the tow truck like a king.Thankfully, a few adults and most of the kids in the village knew what it is.The adults that knew what this is couldn’t react at all while the kids, after extracting themselves from their blank state began to jump around and scream at the top of their lungs, unable to wait to go touch the car.“That’s like the toy my mother bought for me four years ago!” A boy that looked to be eleven years old muttered to himself, his eyes shining with excitement.“My mom has also bought somethi
Seeing the shocked gazes gaping at him and not wanting to proceed to give the exact detail about how he got his car, James could only nod his head casually to Ronald’s question, but never had he thought that this response of his would Immediately set off fireworks in the head of the entire villagers.“Wow!!! Cousin, where did you find such a huge amount of money?!”“Do you perhaps hit that thing called jackpot?!.... No… no, I heard that not even a jackpot would provide this sort of huge amount of money for someone. Did you rob a bank?!”Ronald began to ask James tons of questions with a face extremely funny to behold.It wasn’t only Ronald that was busy speculating right at this moment, but everybody in the village.‘How many years has it been since he left for the city, is this how wealth could be easily gained there?!’‘Is it that true that as long as one focuses on their studies and study hard, they would naturally be extremely wealthy?!”‘Why hadn’t I believed this
