When i came back that evening, my parents asked me where i was coming from and i told them.
My dad told me to sit down that they want to have a word with me.
I sat down and my mum sat beside me.

DAD: Chigboogu {that was the name my parent normally call me} what are you planning for your future?
ME: dad, i don’t understand.
DAD: you don’t understand the question or the reason why i asked you the question?
ME: yes, the reason.
DAD: ok, i asked you that because your absence in this house is becoming too much.
You hardly attend school, or even stay in this house for like one hour without doing anything.
Even sometimes, you don’t sleep in this house.
Each time i comes back and ask of you,
i keep on hearing, you went to this, you went to that.
Now tell me, it that how you’re going to be successful in your education?

that’s the condition of the work am into.
DAD: what sort of condition of work is that? That means, if you successfully entered the movie industry fully,
you’ll stop coming home and also quit your education.
you’ll stop coming home and also quit your education.
ME: no dad.
MUM: Chigboogu, do you want to die? Why are you suffering yourself and pouring hot water to our hearts because we hardly rest or sleep whenever you’re not around,
be it in the daytime or at night. If you were paid small amount of money and you spend it in another way round, it have no use to you and us.
Why can’t you withdraw back and stop stressing yourself and concentrate on your education so that our spirit will come down.

ME: mum, what you said is true but you know i’ve spend alot of money on this.
Whereas this is how other peoples suffers before hitting the limelight. I want to suffer onces and get what i want.
And secondly, mum! Dad! I don’t want both of you to be bothering yourselves because of me,
whenever am not around,i’m no more a kid.

MUM: how many are you in this house? Is it not only three? Remember that three of you, are our treasure and the eyes we use to see.
Am not ready to loose neither of you or i’ll die if anything happens.
Am not ready to loose neither of you or i’ll die if anything happens.
ME: Mum, nothing will happen to us.
DAD: Chigboogu, we’ve slept and gave this your ambition a second thought.
We now come to the conclusion that you’ve to quit from movie and face your challenges. Ever since you entered the movie industry,
you’ve not bring any money home or the movie you’ve shot,
atleast that’s the number one evidence that shows you’re in for real and through that,
we’ll be proud of you outside.

ME: dad you don’t have to say so, so many actors/actresses due suffer before becoming a star.
This our work is like someone who is learning or serving someone. He must suffer to get what he want. Mum! Dad! you both have to be patient and give me your support and blessing because i can’t wait to make you all proud. There are still good time s ahead.

** I convinced them and they also pour out their blessings on me.
The next day been saturday, i descided to quit everything i wanted to do to follow them to the farm,
to help them in farm work. My intention was to make them happy…. I switched off my phone and kept it at home.
We went to the farm and came back by 4pm.
Thereafter, i took my bath and ”ON” my phone. Some messages buffered on my phone, one from Christiana, one from my Director, one from an unknown number and also one from Bisola.
I don’t even know who to reply first. I’ve no airtime on my phone so i sent Emma {my junior brother} and he bought it for me.
I first of all, called my Director and apologise to him for been absent in the lecture class{ i due attend lectures every saturday and sometimes sunday to help him to conduct our new comers. And that’s the reason why he sent a text to me that day }. He accepted my apology and urged me not to miss the lecture class any other day or if i wouldn’t make it, that i should notify him on time.
After the call, i called Bisola and she didn’t pick up.
I called her thrice but she didn’t still pick up.
” was she angry or what?” i said to myself.
I kept my phone and went to the bed to take some rest.
After 1hr, she called me and i pickup.

BISOLA: igwe, what happened to your number since morning, i’ve been trying it but it’s switched off?
ME: yes, i switched it off.
BISOLA: why?
ME: i just decided to help my parent on farm work today because it has been long i did that.
BISOLA: that’s ok. Please can you come over to my house now?
ME: ** time check was 5:30pm ** i hope there is no problem?
BISOLA: just come first.
ME: owk…. I’m coming right away.
** I told my mum, that i want to go and visit a friend and i left without calling Christiana to know what her own problem is.
When i got to Bisola’s house, i knocked at the door and she opened the door and welcomed me with a kiss.
She was putting on a bumshot and a top that shows her tommy.
” today na today ” i murmured.
