This is a true life story. It is not a fiction.
I knew her to be a very funny lady the first time I met her, looking at her from a distance will make you judge her base on how she looks and dress; but that's not true about her; even though I once judged her with her facial look. An adage says, "don't judge a book by its cover".
She is her dad's choice, she is loved by everyone in her family. While she was young at age five, all her thought was that she will forever be the baby of the house, but she was gutted. Wow, What a day she can never forget.
It all started when she noticed her mother put to bed, the news left her with a broken heart. She said; "This baby has come to smash away my right and my joy". Her best mother in the world became her greatest enemy since the day she knew her mother was going to give birth to another baby.
The day her mother gave birth to twins, was the day the heart got broken finally; I felt bad within me when I heard her story; because she never thought she could have another sister and brother.
She refuses to visit her mother while she was in the hospital, just because she thought her mother was her enemy. This was really the symptom of a broken heart.
A few days later, the baby was brought to the house; that was where her story changed because her relationship with those innocent babies was like the fight between the cat and a snake. She knew her mother will not look after her like the way it uses to be, this made her situation grow worst; because she was unable to talk for like one year; everybody in the family was confused and frightened. Her family tried a lot to make her talk, by giving her what she loves most, she was taken outside the country for vacation and shopping, but all was like a man chasing the wind.
This I know that: " happy is an absence of joy in the heart"
It was in a very cool day, while she was sleeping, her mum was in the kitchen preparing their meal for launch. She woke up due to the aroma of the meal she perceived. she stepped out of her room and she saw her dad sitting in the dinning room preparing to eat, dad glanced at her, he said, "baby come and eat" she walks up to dad, she looks at the food and she felt a great joy inside of her while looking at the food, she said what she was unable to say for over a year, she voice out and she shouted "Eba", dad said what did you just say now, she said; "Eba". Immediately her dad called all his family members and friends, to celebrate the heart of her baby that was restored through the voice she regained.
This is not just a story I want you to read without knowing its purpose, it really has a lot to teach. One thing I want you to know is that, no matter how life may be for you, don't stop being happy, because happiness has a lot to do with your progress in life;
" A broken heart can lead to a broken destiny".
The world might take away our joy, but when we do not give up in life, our joy will surely be restored.
