“Don’t cry anymore Mum, I’m not going forever, I will comeback to you in a little while, my reason for leaving is dictated by unforseen circumstances beyond our control, nevertheless, you have to understand that fact that there comes a time in a human’s life when one would have to wake up in order to leap for treasure, for what shall it profit me if i continue to abide here, looking up to you for my three square meal. A man like me!”

“I understand that perfectly well Mum, and that is why i would not stay long before i return. As soon as i arrive there, I will surely write to you, if i happen to see anybody coming home, I will send down messages, and more importantly, immediately i secure a job, I would have to visit home, I am definitely not leaving you in a lurch. So Mum have patience because everything would soon be alright” he assured her, but deep down he wasn’t sure about what was waiting for him over there.
