HELLO HIVERS

One faithful Monday morning when mum was taking us to school our car had an accident and mum died immediately, Favor and Ken were badly injured including me, I began to cry and then it dawned on me that something was wrong asked myself what is wrong with me? why is everyone meant to help me dying around me? In the midst of my tears, some men came to the house, because a good Samaritan took us home after a mum was deposited in the mortuary.

They told Favor and Ken to dress up that their father demanded they should be sent out of the country to meet him where he was, and I was asked to vacate the house that they didn’t know me and I wasn't a member of their family begged and begged for them to take me along hence I had nowhere to run to but they all refused, is this the end of my joy? 

What about my school? I took my box of clothes that mum had gotten for me and left the compound that day with bruises all over my body. God where do I go from here I asked myself, then I quickly remembered where I was staying with my late grandmother before mum came for me and I went back there only for me to see that the building was completed and knocked at the gate and when it was opened I went inside and met the people in the house and greeted them.

They asked the young lady what's your name and how can we help her and I told them am Clara. I narrated all that had happened to me and I told them I was staying here before when the building was uncompleted, they asked me what I wanted and I told them if they could help me or take me in as a house help, mind you that I was just 6 years old, the woman said please leave our house immediately what can you do for us? And the man said my darling wife don’t you think God is answering our prayers? we don’t have children, the only daughter we had we lost her, please let's take her and make her our own. The woman stared at me with anger but had to accept me because of her husband.

Again I was grateful to God for coming through for me.

The next day morning she called me to come to help her in the kitchen and when I got there she was amazed at how I could do everything perfectly well so she asked me you said you lost your parents so how come you know almost everything? I replied to her, that’s because my late grandmother taught me a lot, growing up with her she was already aged and so she allowed me to do everything, with a smile she said come my daughter you have really brought me joy, ever since we lost our daughter and we couldn't bear another child it's really been sad for us but thank God for bringing you to our lives’ was so excited that I was accepted into the family but sadly I remembered Mrs. Franca and I prayed and told God to please keep this family for me.

Fast forward was enrolled in school and had finished primary and secondary school. That was all that Mr. Jude and his wife ever wanted, I got into the university to study Guidance and counseling and the reason being that I would help people with lots of troubles and all, I graduated with a second class upper and at the age of 20. I always had the pictures of my late parents and grandmother with me, I always told them I was going to make them proud.

One day I was in my room watching the pictures when mum came in and saw them she asked who own those pictures? then I pointed at my parents and said granny told me they are my parents and this is granny.

Mrs. Jude screamed, honey, honey come quickly come and see what God has done, I was confused and surprised at the same time when her husband came she said honey Clara is our family, what do you mean? 

The husband asked her, Clara is my late sister's Daughter!

Oh my God you mean the one we searched for all the years but couldn't find her? Yes, honey. Clara is your Aunt, when your parents died we tried to get you but we were told an old woman who was barren and a widow took you, so she could feel the joy of a child before she dies, and every attempt to get you were aborted, that woman is not your granny, your granny died even before you were born, No mum she is still my granny she loved me with every bit of her life even till death, may her soul rest in peace. Do you mean u lived here with her? 

Yes, ma! Oh my God, when we were told she took you we went to her house but discovered she was no longer there but it never occurred to us she was in the uncompleted building.

Come here my daughter indeed God has done me well.

After that day I was happy but also sad because of granny and Mrs.  Franca, but I just moved on and decided to enjoy my life as I had suffered too much in the past.

One of the days as I was walking down the street I heard my name" Clara" when I turned to guess that it was! Ken, jess Ken is that you? You have grown so big, yes you too and as I was nervous I asked how Favor and your dad is? Ken replied they are fine, Ken am so sorry for mum's loss I really miss her. Mum is not dead said Ken, "WHAT" you mean, you must be joking, Ken please stop that joke, it's not a joke mum was only in a coma, but as children, we thought she was dead, After dad said we should return to the states we were preparing to leave before the doctor confirmed that mum was still alive and then our uncle kept us with him since mums desire was never for us to go meet or dad, the only reason that permits us going to dad was only if mum was dead but thank God she made it back to life. 

Dad and mum were divorced, Am so sorry Ken but thank God mum is alive, yes when mum came back to the life she searched for you everywhere she even mentioned that the place she met you was built already but she kept trusting God she would see you someday. Yes I can't wait to see her, me too after your uncle's chased me away I returned to see that the place was built but since I had nowhere to go I still went in and met with the people and they welcomed me in treated me friendly and trained me in school, now am a certified counselor, not only that I got to know the woman was my mum's Elder sister, Ken she is my Aunt, God am so happy to know that everyone around me is still alive and happy, Granny may you continue to rest in I love you.
Ken come on let's go home let me introduce you to my family and then we will go see your mum, God u can’t wait to see her.

Friends God showed up for me and proved his love for me, am happy and alive.

                       HOLA HIVERS

Un fiel lunes por la mañana, cuando mamá nos llevaba a la escuela, nuestro automóvil tuvo un accidente y mamá murió de inmediato, Favor y Ken resultaron gravemente heridos, incluyéndome a mí, comencé a llorar y luego me di cuenta de que algo andaba mal. Me pregunté qué pasaba con ¿me? ¿Por qué todos están destinados a ayudarme a morir a mi alrededor? En medio de mis lágrimas, llegaron unos hombres a la casa, porque un buen samaritano nos llevó a casa después de que una mamá fuera depositada en la morgue.

Le dijeron a Favor y Ken que se disfrazaran porque su padre exigió que los enviaran fuera del país para encontrarse con él donde estaba, y me pidieron que abandonara la casa porque no me conocían y yo no era miembro de su familia rogó y rogó que me llevaran, por lo que no tenía adónde correr, pero todos se negaron, ¿es este el final de mi alegría?

¿Qué pasa con mi escuela? Tomé mi caja de ropa que mamá me había comprado y salí del complejo ese día con moretones en todo el cuerpo. Dios, a dónde voy desde aquí, me pregunté, luego recordé rápidamente dónde me estaba quedando con mi difunta abuela antes de que mamá viniera por mí y regresé allí solo para ver que el edificio estaba terminado y llamó a la puerta y cuando se abrió, entré y me encontré con la gente de la casa y los saludé.

Le preguntaron a la joven cómo te llamas y cómo la podemos ayudar y les dije que soy Clara. Les narré todo lo que me había pasado y les dije que me hospedaba aquí antes cuando el edificio estaba sin terminar, me preguntaron qué quería y les dije si podían ayudarme o aceptarme como ayudante de casa, eso sí. Tenía solo 6 años, la mujer dijo por favor salga de nuestra casa de inmediato, ¿qué puede hacer por nosotros? Y el hombre dijo, mi querida esposa, ¿no crees que Dios está respondiendo nuestras oraciones? no tenemos hijos, la única hija que tuvimos la perdimos, por favor tomémosla y hagámosla nuestra. La mujer me miró con enojo pero tuvo que aceptarme por su esposo.

Nuevamente agradecí a Dios por ayudarme.

Al día siguiente por la mañana me llamó para que fuera a ayudarla en la cocina y cuando llegué allí estaba asombrada de cómo podía hacer todo perfectamente así que me preguntó tú dijiste que perdiste a tus padres entonces ¿cómo es que sabes casi todo? Le respondí, eso es porque mi difunta abuela me enseñó mucho, al crecer con ella ya era mayor y por eso me permitía hacer todo, con una sonrisa me dijo ven hija mía realmente me has dado alegría, desde que nos Perdimos a nuestra hija y no pudimos tener otro hijo. Realmente ha sido triste para nosotros, pero gracias a Dios por traerte a nuestras vidas. Estaba tan emocionada de que me aceptaran en la familia, pero con tristeza recordé a la Sra. Franca y oré y le dije a Dios. por favor mantenga esta familia para mí.

Avance rápido estaba matriculado en la escuela y había terminado la escuela primaria y secundaria. Eso fue todo lo que el Sr. Jude y su esposa alguna vez quisieron, entré a la universidad para estudiar Orientación y asesoramiento y la razón es que ayudaría a las personas con muchos problemas y todo, me gradué con una segunda clase superior y a la edad de 20. Siempre tuve conmigo las fotos de mis difuntos padres y mi abuela, siempre les dije que los iba a enorgullecer.

Un día estaba en mi habitación viendo las fotos cuando mamá entró y las vio y preguntó quién era el dueño de esas fotos. luego señalé a mis padres y dije que la abuela me dijo que ellos son mis padres y esta es la abuela.

La Sra. Jude gritó, cariño, cariño, ven rápido, ven y mira lo que Dios ha hecho, yo estaba confundida y sorprendida al mismo tiempo cuando llegó su esposo, dijo, cariño, Clara es nuestra familia, ¿qué quieres decir?

El esposo le preguntó, ¡Clara es la hija de mi difunta hermana!

Oh, Dios mío, ¿te refieres a la que buscamos todos los años pero no pudimos encontrarla? Sí, cariño. Clara es tu tía, cuando murieron tus padres tratamos de conseguirte pero nos dijeron que te llevó una anciana que era estéril y viuda, para que sintiera la alegría de un niño antes de morir, y todos los intentos por conseguirte fueron aborté, esa mujer no es tu abuelita, tu abuelita murió incluso antes de que nacieras, no mamá, ella sigue siendo mi abuelita, ella me amó con cada parte de su vida incluso hasta la muerte, que su alma descanse en paz. ¿Quieres decir que vivías aquí con ella?

¡Sí MA! Oh, Dios mío, cuando nos dijeron que te llevó fuimos a su casa pero descubrimos que ya no estaba allí, pero nunca se nos ocurrió que estaba en el edificio sin terminar.

Ven aquí hija mía que Dios me ha hecho bien.

Después de ese día estaba feliz pero también triste por la abuela y la Sra. Franca, pero simplemente seguí adelante y decidí disfrutar mi vida ya que había sufrido demasiado en el pasado.

Uno de los días mientras caminaba por la calle escuché mi nombre "Clara" cuando volteé a adivinar que era! Ken, jess Ken, ¿eres tú? Has crecido mucho, si tu también y como estaba nerviosa te pregunte como esta Favor y tu papa? Ken respondió que están bien, Ken siento mucho la pérdida de mamá, realmente la extraño. Mamá no está muerta dijo Ken, "QUÉ" quieres decir, debes estar bromeando, Ken por favor deja esa broma, no es una broma, mamá solo estaba en coma, pero cuando éramos niños, pensábamos que estaba muerta, después de que papá dijo que deberíamos regresar a los estados en los que nos preparábamos para irnos antes de que el médico confirmara que mamá todavía estaba viva y luego nuestro tío
