It's another weekly prompt of the @ladiesofhive community. I will be writing about
What was the most devastating event in your life? Express your feelings and how you coped.
It happened last 3 years but it is still fresh in my head like it happened yesterday, that was how bad the situation was.
It was my friend, his name was Miracle, a dark, average height boy, who was studying in Federal University of Technology Owerri.
School was on holiday when he decided to visit his sister in port Harcourt that's how we met. He was this accommodating and friendly kind of person.
I can remember vividly, it was a monday morning, my mum came into my room and said "Miracle is dead", i couldn't place my heart on any person called Miracle, so i asked" Who's Miracle"?, She immediately explained and that was when i knew she was my talking about my friend.
Immediately tears ran down my cheeks.
How did it happen? We chatted on Saturday and i even saw him on Sunday and invited him for a music concert in my church and on Monday morning i heard he was dead. I couldn't believe my ears, my mum said on Sunday evening he went out with his friends for swimming and he drowned.
Where was his friends when he was drowning?
Did he not scream for help?
Were there not life savers close the swimming pool?
All these questions i asked, but couldn't get an answer, i was just crying..
I just wished i saw everything before it happened and advised him on Sunday when i saw him not to go.
The case was reported to the police and the hotel was shut down for a while, but due to the too much spending on the police case moreover, he was already dead they decided to bury him.
For nights i couldn't sleep, everything looked like a movie, like how will you see someone today, the next day you hear his dead.
I also learnt not to trust anyone, imagine his friends ran away after they noticed he was dead. It was really a painful event to bear.
I invite @zyzymena and
@adrianalara to join the contest.
