Written By Stephanie Egberike

☆☆☆

Emeka’s father had always been the man he was, a serial womaniser amongst other things, an occasional beater when his mother did wrong and a strict man.

It became worse when his father began to roll in bucks. He didnt care about his wife nor his son anymore. .and by the time Emeka was in his third year in school…his father had kicked him and his mother out and carried other women to enjoy the wealth his mother had suffered with him for.
Emeka and his mother survived the streets for years, eating from hand to mouth and sleeping under the bridge. Barely alife, barely living.

Amongst other pains was the fact that the girl he loved broke up with him because she felt he won’t amount to nothing, but all she saw was a boy whose usefulness to her had been outlived, so she moved on to other things, breaking the boy who loved her wholeheartedly without a care in the world.

Emeka, with the pain of a broken home, a father who never loved nor cared for him, a father who saw his mother as a punching bag and finally ousted them out of his life and their house and sent to die on the streets, to the pains pof a broken relationship with a girl who he considered his escape in his chaotic world. Emeka, a boy had to become a man, to care for his sick mother, to roam the streets, to survive for him and his mother, for months into years they lived on the streets of lagos.

The only other thing that kept him going aside his mother, was the fact that he had vowed to pay his father for what he did to them, and like a wound it feasted in his heart as he toiled day and night with his mother by his side.

Ten years later,Emeka is older now, running his own company when a man is ushered into his office for a partnership. It was his father..and his father had no idea who the young man was. He was determined to punish him for all he had done..especially for the pain his mother went through.

As though his luck didn’t stop shinning. He ran into Diana, his ex , the same girl who had left him because she couldn’t date a pauper, and she couldn’t believe her eyes..and she decides to come chasing him back.

He was determined to make his father pay. .and make Diana feel the pain he felt when she broke his heart.

Will he be able to give t-t for tat…or be swayed by his mother’s love for her husband and his featherlight heart for the girl he once loved?.
