The Journey…
Hope smiled with tears in her eyes, she couldn’t think of anything else,
except that he was going away and she might not get to see him again. She
hesitantly took a step then took his outstretched hands and hugged him. She
couldn’t explain what happened to her in that short moment, she just knew she
quickly pulled away.
“I wish you the best,” she
said.
“Yeah, me too,” Lanre replied,
with a sad look in his eyes.
“You have to leave now Lanre.” She started to walk inside the compound. “…And thank you for coming,” she added and disappeared inside.
This
is a story of a young girl, who lost all her family members in a ghastly car
accident and was left all alone in a cold world. Hope Eze, came out of a coma,
to realize that she had to live and survive without a family. Her life took a
turn after she met Mrs. Bakare who decided to take her in, like a daughter.
Everything was going on fine for her, until Lanre Bakare, the only son of the
Bakares showed up.
Hope
was faced between two decisions of going for what she wanted and what she
needed. She headed in a direction which
launched her into the next phase of her life. It was a journey of pain,
sacrifice and a twist.
Edith.
