Tears of a child episode 22 – finale

THE TEARS OF A CHILD 😢

Episode 22
The final.

The very moment she pointed at Uncle Nonso I felt rejected and unloved. I felt like something very precious in me has disappeared.

“What your father did to me nearly cost me my life. At first I thought all men were like him , until I found James my lovely husband, who came in to my life and gave me reason to smile again ” mom spoke out with tears rolling down her face.

I wasn’t paying attention to what she was saying to me, but I felt her pains . I was just thinking why my father , my own blood, whom I had spent fourteen Good years without seeing will deny me right before his wife and children .
” Is everything ok?” Uncle Nonso asked , as he approached to where mom and I were.
” Elizabeth Why are you crying ?.

That was the first time in my wh0le fourteen years of knowing my mother’s name . I never knew her name until that special moment uncle Nonso called her by name .

I looked at uncle Nonso deep in to his eyes , he has my brown eyes . Grandpa was right when he said my father has the same colour of my eyes .
” I am fine Nonso .” She replied , with her eyes w-t . He noticed the looks on my face and became speechless.
” Can I talk to you aside for a minute please?” He begged, as he dragged mom behind his car.
I began to wondered what was it he has to say to her in private , I was worried because he made me feel like a stranger before my own very eyes.
If my own father could do that to me , I see no reason why I should call him father . I waited for close to an hour but still I see no signs of them coming . I decided to go find out what was keeping them so long.

As I was approaching to the car, I began to hear some murmur. I went closer enough where my ears could hear them properly, when I heard uncle Nonso’s voice.
” Elizabeth, I know I have wronged you in so many ways , but you just have to forgive me and take Ben with you. He can’t stay with me in my house , I can’t stay in the same roof with him now .
No, not now biko. I don’t know how my wife and children will feel about it . You shouldn’t had told him I am his father. I wanted to tell him myself when it’s the right time.

” And when is the right time? Tell me Nonso , when is the right time? That boy has suffered a lot. He grew up without someone beside him to call Mother .

Instead of we should be the one to find him , he came for us . Isn’t it enough reason for you to accept him as your own son? OOh!!, you have no idea how it feel to grow without parents ” Mom triggered at him wrathfully.
” Elizabeth , I don’t know how you gonna do this , but the truth is that , I can’t take him back to my house ” when I heard him said that , i left there and looked for a quiet place and allowed tears to pour out from my eyes .

Some minutes later, mom left Uncle Nonso behind the car angrily and took me by the hand in to her restaurant. I sat down and bent my head to the ground before Uncle Nonso walked in .
Mom brought a plate of food and dropped it right on my table with a smile.
” I am sure you want to have something to eat. I actually made it specially for you ” she spoke in sweet voice .

I didn’t uttered a word to her as I kept on looking at the ground with my head bend.
” Are you alright son?” She asked , as she raised my head. My eyes were already soacked , as tears dripped out from them slowly to the floor.
Mom and uncle Nonso were shocked and speechless as they both watched me cry .
” I am sorry Mom, I don’t want to be a burden to anyone of you.” I cried out. ” You are married and so is Dad. I am angry with Daddy , because he lied . He lied to me mommy, daddy lied . He told me he is my uncle and I believed him. He said he is uncle Nonso and I started calling him that.
I spent two weeks with him and he didn’t open up . I spent fourteen good years without seeing my father , thinking when I finally do, he will welcome me with an open arms. But today, I have seen it all. I didn’t come to stay with any of you , I only came to see my biological parents . For seeing my biological parents has been my pryer point . I have seen you both and i just want to say thank you, for giving birth to me , for if it weren’t for you both , I wouldn’t be here ” I spoke in tears .
Uncle Nonso who is my father , heaved a deep sigh and held me on the shoulder and said ;
.

” I am sorry son. It’s all my fault . I left your mom when she needed me the most for another woman . I lied to you that am your uncle . I am your father Ben, I am your Dad. I noticed that you are my son the very moment I saw the colour of your eyes . I did what I had to for peace in my family.”

When he said for peace , I remembered aunty Amara who accused me of stealing her family joy away from them .
“Uncle Nonso, I want to go and spend the rest of my life with my grandparents, that’s the only place in this world I think I can find love .” Uncle Nonso glanced at me as he stammered.
” I am not your uncle ” he said . ” I am your father”
” Uncle Nonso is what you introduced yourself as to me, and it has gotten used to me already . Mommy is the only woman I can call mother . Uncle Nonso, I want to go to my grandparents.
Besides, grandpa used to say; people lie to people they hate to protect the ones they love. So you lie to me for the sake of being afraid to loose the ones you truly love. ” I spoke bitterly with tear.
Daddy and mom tried to convinced me to stay with one of them but I made my final decision to stay with my grandparents.

I was taken to my grandparents and ever since then I have been with my grandpa and grandma.
The end .
This isn’t just a story,
but a life story .
That’s why some
call me Grandpa son .
