PRESENT TIME**
"Mum pls don't leave me now," I cried " am to young to live without a father or mother let alone a brother...you can't die now mum " I said in between sobs as I watch my mum take her last breath in the hospital bed...
****Flashback***
My name is Chijioke but my mum and every one else porpularly calls me Cēē Jāy
Cj
...
I wasn't born with a silver spoon as other kids,I had to struggle almost everytime to get what I want and that made me a strong kid while growing up.
My dad tried his best to give me a bright future and to give me the best life any kid would dream of but life in 9ja no make am easy for the man...I was the only son..
But things became to take a different turn 2 months ago. My dad became ill and it was very serious..he also found out that my mum was cheating on him and she had contracted HIV on the process and she passed it to my father unknowingly which resulted to his sudden immune failure and illness.
Few weeks later my father died..my mum surprisingly lived until last week when she broke down with malaria but now I cannot even explain how she grew slim day after day. We took her to the Hospital and the doctor said the HIV has advanced to AIDS. There was no money on ground to sustain...
I went to various type of menial Jobs to raise some money but I wasn't able...
****back to present day****
"I tried mum I tried to raise some money but my effort just not enough" I cried
"Don't bother your self son use the money to take care of yourself" my mum suggested
"But wait a minute mum, what if I tell the doctor to take some of my blood and give you so that my healthy blood would keep you alive for me" I said even though I know it not possible I just wanted her to be alife is that so much to ask" I said but got no reply
"Mum,...mummy...mummy" I called as I tried to wake her up..
"Mummy" but she did not still reply
"Doctor, doctor" I shouted. The doctor came in with a couple of nurses..
The doctor checked her heartbeat with his stethoscope as he removed it he shakes his head sadly..
I just stared at him not even understanding his actions
"Am sorry but we lost your mum" the doctor stated
I was speechless, it seemed as if my whole world came crashing down, was I born to suffer...
I walked out of the hospital a broken shattered kid I was just 18 with no father or mother. I just finished my secondary school,where am I going to start from..
My house wasn't far from the hospital but at this moment it seemed as if I was trekking from port harcourt to Lagos, a journey I can't finish...tears streamed freely down my eyes...
Many people stared at me but I don't give a damn..
I WAS HEART BROKEN
