👨THE TURN AROUND 1👨
MY name is Bright, and I’m 32 years old. You can classify me as that tall dark skinned man. it’s hard to say, but I’m stubborn and ruthless. My mom ran away when i was much younger and never came back. It hurt me but I didn’t know why. I was raised by a single father but right now I’m alone. I came out with a first class in business management so I pressured my dad to settle me with at least one of his companies, he got tired of me and finally gave me 1 to handle as mine, and I’m doing very well ever since then.
I’m also, let me say, married to Sandra, a sweet lady, but sometimes she gets on my nerves like right now we just had an argument on phone.
Let me explain▪▪▪▪ I asked her to wash one of white tops which I was supposed to wear today but she didn’t, when I asked her why, she gave me no answer. I did what I had to do, and now she’s upset. “what! Bright! u burnt my cloths?” she screamed. Of cos I had to cos she walked out on me while I was still talking to her this morning. Don’t think I over reacted, she’s just annoying. I think I heard a clashing sound and the call dropped. “did Sandra drop the call on me again? well let me get home first”.

👩THE TURN AROUND 2👩
My name is Sandra and I’m 23 years old. My mom lost 3 children b4 my birth and I was the only one who stayed alive. Immediately I lost my dad, all my uncles attacked my mom, they called her a witch who kills her own, they said she spared me cos I was the one to inherit her witchcraft. When the heat was too much for us, my mom took us out of the village to leave in the town far away. We knew no one there but we tried to survive. We leaved in an uncompleted building around a bushy environment. My mom did different odd jobs to keep us. I managed to graduate from secondary school so I went to get my WAEC result from school while my mom was home. when I got back home I started shouting my mom’s name in excitement “mummy! mummy! u need to see this o. ur daughter has passed her WAEC”. But she was not responding, I rushed in and found my mom laying lifeless on the floor. I discovered that she had been bitten by a snake. “Mummy wake up! pls wake up don’t leave me like this” I screamed in pain. I ran out of the house to town.
My heart was beating so fast “who do I run to? who do I talk to? where do I go to? why now!?”. I thought to myself as I walked down the road. Full of thoughts, I was almost crushed by a car cos I wasn’t looking at the road. The driver stopped and came out of the car approaching towards me. “young lady do u realise that u are in the middle of the road? I would have knocked u down by now. watch where u are going next time”.
I responded ” I’m sorry “.
His face looked familiar, yes! i remember him, he was that rich stingy boss me and my mom once worked for, he didn’t even recognize me. He had better talk finish and get out. He was about to leave then suddenly he stopped and turned towards me again ” wait, I know this face, what happened? U are crying. where’s ur mother?”. And that was how my life with Bright all started…
