One can never know how painful and scary something can be until when you found yourself in that situation.
On a different times,I have hear people saying they were victims to robbery,i only imagined how it could be.
ONE LIFE EXPERIENCE I CAN NEVER FORGET.
Years has passed by but it always feels like it was just yesterday.
It was during the summer period all school children were all at home,some children were attending lessons to stay away from home.
One fateful night,my brother has come back home from work, he's a business man.
After we was done eating and was already laying down,the kids was already slept including me but a very heavy noise waked me up, hearing a wailing voice at next room,one of their children were sick then so I thought maybe the sickness became serious.
As their mother was wailing with a low voice,that was how we heard a knock on the door to breaking the door that was when I knew something else was involved but didn't really understand till I saw a very fully grown guy on a black attire with something covering his face to keep the identity hidden.....with gun pointing at my brother giving him commands on what to do.
I was shocked infact beyond that because it is my first time seeing and witnessing the incident,been a victim to robbery,I hide myself from them seeing me because it was not just one person that came in meanwhile I've heard about how arm robbers used to rape peoples in the process of robbery and my brother's wife just put to bed.
I was just shivering all over watching from how they
I was just all shivering watching from how they dressed and the gun pointing at my brother because that was just my first time and seeing how they were commanding my brother requesting for money they didn't give him got me more scared that I wanted to scream out to cry while my aunt cover my mouth with her palm.
I witnessed how my brother how pained he felt to give them the money because they will requesting for all meanwhile while the robbery was going on,other members of them will also checking the next rooms but unfortunately it was just only our room they took money from, others they couldn't meet up with time.
After they left,I couldn't sleep again because I was terrified even after they have left the whole house.
Any slightly noise I will get up and start to call my brother that they have come again,he tries to reassure me telling me they have already left and it won't come back but I insisted that was how everyone was awake for me till day break.
Since all money was gone,the following day was Sunday I could not stay out of where my brother was because I kept on seeing their faces vividly as the covered it.
After the incident happened,my brother fall I'll and got diagnosed to be suffering a partial stroke.
It took me years to over come the trauma because I used to think they will come again but my brother's sickness became worse as years processes, unfortunately he was unable to survive it after all money was spent on him.
His passing away caused so much pains to the entire family at large
Despite how much more I tries to forget it to keep going but my brain keeps imagining things again.
I don't get to panic much about such situations again but rather makes a calculative ways.
Regardless i have to let go because the hand of clock can't be changed again
but I never wish to witness where robbery happen again.
Thank u for reading.
Pictures are all mine.
