Clifford

“What should I offer you? A snack or the main dish? “Alma Mom asked.

” You don’t have to, am fine and moreover, Alma would have prepared something for me. ”

I don’t know why I added the last part, I just feel like I should.

“Wow, but that won’t stop you from eating some snacks and drink here.”

She said before walking off to the kitchen.

“I wish my mom was still alive.” I was so lost in staring at her that I didn’t realize what I just said.

“She also wish she has a son like you. You her just like the son she never had. ”

I heard her Dad said and I realize I was staring at someone else’s mom

“Huh?” I asked not really sure if what he just said.

“You just said you wish your mom is alive and I said you are like a son my wife Never had. ”

He said again and I smile before looking away.

We started talking about different things and I got to know he is an engineer.

In construction field. Like I can’t believe it.

” The government has been searching for someone who they can give the contract of building of a university he just wants to open in a rural area.

Like he said, he wants both the illiterate and literate should have the opportunity of free education. “I said

” Yes, I heard and have tried it out but you know how those ministers can be.

If you don’t know someone, they won’t give you the job. “He replied in a sad tone.

” Don’t worry, I will give you someone’s address and number.

You can contact him and he will help you from where you stop. “I explained.

” The snacks is here. “Alma Mom called out while coming down to the living room.

We started eating and talking when her dad suddenly cleared his throat.

“I know you don’t only come here just to talk and eat, there’s something you are dying to ask. ”

He said making me gaps in shock. Like he can really read me like an open book.

“Well yes, but I don’t know if it would sit well with you for you to discuss this matter with me. “I replied.

” There’s nothing too hard to say son. “He replied.

” It’s about the new memories Alma remember, that same memories that has been taunting her. “I said.

Their facial expressions changed but never the less, they started explaining to me.

It’s a really sad story unlike mine because they where clearly humiliated.

But mine was my mom who died but with their story, I prefer death to humiliation.

I can’t believe with everything they pass through, they can still smile.

The guilt am feeling right now is more than what I felt before I heard this.

I have humiliated Alma and wrongly accused her.

No one she passed out when I mentioned if she was once rich in her, it would be snatched away from her cause she doesn’t Worth it.

Only God knows how I will beg Alma now. I wonder how she would see me.

I bid her parents well fare and left for my house.

But not without thinking over and over who the man is.

His name really sounds familiar to me … TBC

Who do you think this man is?
