THE REVELATION (THE BEGINNING OF THE END)
A knock came on Blessing’s door around twenty past 4 in the morning as of him he wasn’t even in the house his thoughts where far off in the future, he was day dreaming visualizing himself living in that big mansion on a leather couch watching himself as the video of his song came on Channel O. Then suddenly this girl had appeared out of nowhere to pull him back to reality with tears and sorrow of reality, he quickly jumped off the sofa in shock of hearing her spill her broken heart with tears. He rushed out running faster than a kid chasing an ice cream truck bumping into chairs in the house and tripping on the her mom’s only old brown carpet fell down, picked himself and ran toward the door, quickly opened it with so much vigor, then when he sat his eyes on her and what she held in her hands he suddenly stood still liked he had seen a ghost. Thoughts suddenly started spinning all over his mind what was this should he be worried but as for that moment he thought “I’m overreacting its probably something else”, but still the thought still rang on his mind he didn’t know what to believe in that moment but like . When confidence had built up enough to speak he starred deep into her eyes, and said it in a crackling voice he was running out of breadth then said,” sweetheart I wanna know what’s happening?, can I?”.. She then looked at him confused on her feeling with a chill down her spine she thought, “What would happen if he knew? How would he react to this? Will he still love him as he did all along? All these were questions that dwindled in her mind. She pushed him off her then stood up with tears and mucus on her face then started to explain to him how she was chased away from home she kept on going on but as she kept going on he paused with both hands in his head everything they had done that lead to her pregnancy. Like a dry pile of grass set fire it all started to make sense the thought came into his mind as fast as a gunshot “no, it can’t be” he thought maybe I’m destined to have this misfortune then tears rolled down his face, when she saw this she cried even more then she sat in a distance. WHY WHY it kept on ringing in Blessing’s mind why would this happen to him of all people finally he had set his mind to being someone I his life but this world proved him that it is more complicated than he thought. Know he didn’t know how to deal with this situation let alone Lassa was more confused than he was but what was obvious is that he had given up on his dreams because he had no idea how to be successful with the huge block that stood in his way. Together they had to figure out something fast real fast to take care of this mistake this child named “Kix” although they didn’t know it yet. .
That’s the story Kix he would always hear before he went to sleep, the story of the single mistake that placed him on this planet. He never believing in the impossible a little more like his father before he’d met Lassa but he took the compassionate side of his mother. Kix was good at every sport a naturally talented child as his teachers called it, but he never practiced let alone had love for sports he just did what any average kid was doing he never wanted to be on top he preferred to stay in the crowd where it was safe. Lessons from his parents had told him not to dream too wild and expect much from the world “it will disappoint you son” that most of the words his father said mostly when he was drunk. Kix was raised by parents who were cautious of the so called ugly and dangerous world that eats you if you’re not wise enough so they made sure they taught their son all they wish they knew at his age. Both Lassa and Blessing did all they could to help their son get what he wanted in life who were now called the Kaondes. Blessing (Kix’s father) was now working as a waiter at one of the nearby local owned restaurants and his wife Lassa she was working as a hair dresser. As much as both they’re happiness were concerned, Lassa was happy as she was a person who could adjust to situations while his husband Blessing was confused he had been so hurt with his dreams failing to work out so he opted to alcohol. Sometimes he would come back home drunk penny less, while on some days he would be a good husband who would cook breakfast for his family and come home immediately after finishing work as rich man with tips from customers for well-treatment. On his good day he would keep his weekly salary and give it to his wife for safe keeping and to fund university for Kix’s future.
Lonely as others called it while he preferred it to be solitary ingenuity his mind was wild untamed but full of fear that chocked any creative idea he would try to tell anyone. He would go a full day without being discovered his whereabouts and when he eventually appeared he would say he was in the public government library or sometimes they would find him there so they got fond of the idea of his being a reader. Kix became reader spent countless hours starring into books at the library and when he was old enough he would come with them at home. By the age of 6 he had finished the children part of books in the city library. At the age of seven he could understand the way the world works in a theoretical manner. What troubled him the most was what happened to his parents after his father had found out his mom’s pregnant and also why he was he never talked to him that much? He came to his mother on Saturday afternoon after fishing the classical Romeo and Juliet tale” mom would you die for dad” he asked then she answered ”yes I would sweetie for the both of you I would go to the ends of the earth” . Then again he asked “mom would you give me away if you had the chance to I mean I’m a mistake right?” She dropped the plate she had in her hands then rushed held him on his shoulders and softly said “son I love you and much as this makes sense to you you’re the best mistake I have ever made”, then before she should finish her sentence he interjected “why do you tell me to avoid being at the top of living my life shouldn’t I?” She could not believe what was coming out of this child’s mouth it was amazing phenomenal. She thought for a minute how if his son had to understand this had to first learn of what had happened, then she said ,“son let me finish the story of what happened after your father found out that I was pregnant, it goes like this…………………
