Father and the federal road safety

My father had this Federal road safety corp as his friend .

Each time he goes to drop me in school, He will stop by and check on her.

This was because she did her job by the road opposite my school.

I became fond of her that we usually cracked jokes together.

My  father began stalking on her.  I always told her I would become a road safety corp one day and I won’t spare anyone who didn’t have their complete driver’s license.

She will just smile at me and nod her head.

My mother was just a petty trader who sold minor foodstuffs like onions, Rice, salt, Pepper etc.

She was indeed a strong woman who tried to cater for the family.

We didn’t really have much customers coming to buy from us and as such we loosed a lot but I always gave her some words of encouragement.

My father always mocks us for this telling us that we should close down the shop and that we will never succeed with anything we do in life.

He will just  rain unfair abuses on us.

I will say my father wasn’t even a real man cause it was my mother who always contributed to the family upkeep as well as always  bringing food to the table.

She was the one who gave him most of the money and he uses it in drinking and smoking without her consent.

I became so disappointed in my father when I caught him sleeping with Miss Rose the federal road safety corp.

This took place while my mother was away from home. I went to remove some clothes from outside when I heard some noises coming from  the direction of his bedroom.

I peeped though the window and saw Miss Rose and him  making love on the matrimonial bed which is suppose to be for my mum and him.

” Daddy” I shouted as he became afraid, Immediately he  stood up and wore his trousers.

Miss Rose tried covering herself with the bed spray and I could see the guilt all over her face.

I stared at them as tears rolled down my eyes. My mother doesn’t deserve this.

He then ran to me and handed some money over to me so that I won’t report to my mum.

I collected his money and threw it on his face telling him that I’m not in need of it.

My mother is too good to deserve such unfair treatment.

She doesn’t worth such incompetent man after all the struggles she had undergone for him to be happy.

I informed my mother about it and she was unhappy. She cried and lamented and I told her not to worry and that everything will be fine.

I stand for nothing but the truth.

I stopped speaking to Miss Rose. I didn’t even want to see her anywhere around me.

Even when she knew that my father was married she still went ahead to make love to him.

My mother was heartbroken. It’s better to be a single happy mother than a married sorrowful woman.

My mother doesn’t deserve an ingrate like my father.

My mother ended the marriage as we packed our belongings out of the house.

We rented an apartment with the little money she raised and we stayed together.

My mother was an educated woman, She always spoke fluently and I loved her for this.

 This turn around for good as my mother was called to work as a news caster.

This has always been her dream.

I was very happy for her, One of her childhood friend, Mr Prince gifted her a house and a car.

He was indeed a God_ Sent. We packed into the new house he gifted us.

I’m so happy to see her smiling again.

My father called my mum and pleaded for forgiveness and that she should come back to the marriage and not just abandon him like that.

Well he’s time has expired, There’s no going back.

The people whom he said wouldn’t make it has succeeded in making it in life while he was still there receiving bad treatment from women who had strong heart.

Indeed a shameless man.
