Buea 2008

"Mom what's wrong, why are you crying?" ask the little boy as he sees his mom with red puffy eyes and tears rolling down her face.

His mother replied to the little boy that everything is okay and that she isn't crying it's just that water is flowing out her eyes of her eyes.

The boy little boy wasn't convinced so he asked mom again "Mom, I'm sure something is wrong, you can't be crying and say you that you are not crying. I know something wrong, please tell me. I'm a big boy now I can help you."

"I know you can help me my little treasure but with these you can't help me. It's way bigger than what you think but as you're a big boy I'm going to tell you I just lost your little aunt Jessica" replied his mother.

"Mom I don't understand why did you lose her, but mommy told me that big people can get lost so what's happening I don't understand" ask the little boy in his childish voice.

" I know my boy I know but she's gone to a place very far and we can't see her again" replied his mommy still crying.

" But mom she's gone so she'll come back" replied the boy to his mother. " No my boy she has gone up to the Stars into heaven and will never be coming to say 'Hi' again."

The little boy was puzzled and said in return "Mom, so she went to the Stars? I saw in the movie when they said if someone goes to the stars she can look down on us and she always shine on us so Mom if she's in this stars we can always look at her every night and

" I know she'll look at us in the stars and we will look at her everyday, she would protect us, shine on us and make us happy, we can talk with her and she will talk to us" said the boy.

"That's not how it is, things aren't the way you think they are, they're more complicated than you think. You're still young so just forget about it" reply a middle-aged man at the door way before his wife could answer.

This man was Leonard Bahumi, Angela's husband and the boy's father.

He is a handsome man with a clean curt black hair, clear brown eyes and a fair complexion. He's a man always having an amiable and kind smile but today what marked his face was one of sadness and grief.

He walked into the room he ruffled the child's hair and he consoled his wife by giving her a hug and wiping off her tears.

"Crying won't make her come back, so stop crying you are going to get sick and you're making him sad" said the husband to his wife

" But what should I do. She was only one left, Mom is dead, dad is dead who is remaining?! Nobody! I'm the only one remaining so why am I here for."

"Stop saying that, we are there for you. He's there for you. I'm there for you. Worry not, we are going to get to the end of this. I have my doubts about who did that to her and I know she couldn't have committed suicide. So take hearts I will try my best to get to the end of this"

" But with all these people who have power and money. What do we have, no power, no money, and no connections so what can we do in this country full of corruption. People are abuse their boss and nothings is done what are we supposed to do?" reply his wife

"I know we can see do something, they can't get away with this and I assure you they will pay for everything they have done. They can't touch our family and go on hurt so please stop crying you are making him sad"

" sheesh, sheesh, it's okay it's okay stop crying" after 20 minutes of counseling his wife, she fell asleep then he took the child and close the door.

When out the child asked his father if he said something he shouldn't have said because his mother was more sad than, ever and he as begging his dad to tell him what is wrong.

The father seeing how pitiful the child looks with his teary eyes and sad he took the boy to the his room and he set him down on the bed.

"Okay you are a grown up, my boy now so I hope you can understand mom has lost aunt Jessica and she's very sad now" said the father to his child.

"How did mom lost aunt Jessica, didn't she just go somewhere far away and will come back soon?. She didn't go somewhere far, she's dead do you know what it means? asked the Leonard to his child and the child shock his head indicating that he didn't not understand. "It means we can't see her again, we can't talk to her again and you can't get anything from her because she's no longer living"

"sniffing" "sniffing" "sniffing" the child started crying and said to his dad "So aunty Jessica is gone forever but I liked aunty Jessica. She love me and she used to keep me sweet things and play with me a lot so I can see aunty Jessica again" the the boys started crying and sobbing and fell in his father's embrace.

His father consoling him said "Don't cry it's okay, it's true that aunty Jessica is gone but she'll be there in your heart and anytime you miss her just think about the good things you have done together, the happy time you spend together so stop crying go to bed and sleep. Good Night."

The father stayed with the child in his embrace for 30 minutes until he fell asleep he placed him on the bed and left his room.

He returned into his room to meet his wife no longer crying but really looking sad sitting on the bed with a empty gaze staring of the wall, he embraced her from behind startling her from her thoughts

"You know being so sad won't help but doing this with deteriorate your health. It makes him sad, you know" said her husband.

"But what should I do? The Jessica I knew won't have done that, committing suicide is not what she will do. Jessica sometimes may be depressive but never, I say never in her life or her dreams will she think of committing suicide so something is wrong and I have to go to the root of all these."

"I understand you and I'll help you, you need to understand he's a little boy he may act tough but when he sees you sad he get sad and start crying. and I have already asked some of my people and friends to go and get to the end of this, I'm waiting replies from them by tomorrow.

"We must have something concrete on who caused her to commit suicide, why did she commit suicide and what really happened so just trust me. I've never failed a promise and this is a promise so just be courageous and take heart. I'm there for you, he's there for you and we are there for ourselves" said Leonard.

"I know you will do as you say and thank you for always being there for me. I have thought about something which is to put him into Martial arts training classes like Kung-Fu, Karate or Kickboxing. I can lose someone else again like this, I want him to be someone great with a big heart and courageous."

"Okay! Okay! I've gotten you but it's not the time to think about this so let's go to bed. Try and catch some sleep, tomorrow we'll talk about the burial and funeral and see how we can give her a proper rest in the embrace of mother Earth" with that the couple went to sleep. *
