**AKPOS SAD STORY** EPISODE ONE [1] I remember vividly, how it all happened. Then I was only ten years of age. My mum had been away for over a week and I missed her badly. My mum was my back bone. I was more closer to her than my dad. We were more closer than the gap between two teeth. My mum was my best best friend. I had no sibling. On that fateful day, I didnt stay for extra lesson in school bcoz I badly wanted to see my mum. When I got home, there were quite an unusual number of people. I was shocked at first but then I thought they came to say hello to my mum. Where are u mummmmm? I yelled, jokingly. Go change ur uniform, an elderly woman said to me from amongst the visitors. Your mum is on her way and will soon arrive, she added. I quickly changed to my mofty and relaxed outside. I wanted to be the first to see my mum on her arrival. While I sat outside, patiently, I had a strange feeling about my mum. I felt cold all of a sudden. JUST then, an elderly man, a very close neighbour and family friend, walked into our compound. So mama Akpos is Dead! he said, shivering. The other visitors at our house tried to tell him to shut up. But it was too late. I already heard it. The visitors already knew; they tried keeping it away from me until the atmosphere becomes cool. I remember that very day; I couldnt cry. I was way more too grieved that the tears didnt drop. My mum, my backbone, my hope, was gone. Gone for eternity. When I heard the dreadful news, my legs became weak abruptly. My head became hot. My stomach ached. U could describe me as a living corpse. The sudden departure of my mum, shattered my destiny. *sobbing* WATCH OUT FOR EPISODE TWO (2)
