The atmosphere is in a calm State quiet and gentle, the sun look down the Earth with a huge smile, the cool breeze blowing in and out like it has a Vita message it wants to pass across to a homestead that dwell behind a gorgeous mountain around the western cape of a rural community.

The people shared likely everything together, their livestock, laughter, conversation, time.etc. the children playing around with their wireless scrab cars made with cartons and sticks with plastic wheels.

Wisdom is one thing that is inherited among them, it passes through generation to generation

Bruno a smart and intelligent boy was trained by his grandmother just got through with is matriculation and left home for school leaving his grandmother and two younger brother ( Franklin and Christopher). His grandmother couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes as he leaves the house.

Bruno's mother died after given birth to Christopher the last child and after ware their fath ran away leaving them to the care of their grandmother. She trained those boys to be a good smart and obedient children with her warm embrace.

Studies has not been easy for Bruno from his first semester, at St Bethel University UpTown, to study mechanical engineering. There have been alot of challenges. For Bruno it was another world entirely, practicals and lectures took most of his time and he barely make friends.... He was doing massively great in his studies and passed through lot of promotions due to his hard works and striving to win.

Samuel Jackson a guy of the same level with Bruno, who took notice of Bruno intelligence and quietness finally got in contact with him in one of the eateries in school. He discussed with him and then smoothly they got along, becoming the one and true friend Bruno had in school...

Bruno matriculated with a bachelor's degree with 8 distinction, and so with Samuel Jackson. They got a job at an Automobile industry and they were doing just fine.

Bruno never forgot where he came from, he was so much fond of his grandmother and siblings that he took it unto himself to send money home every month end. He someday met the love of his live and everything was just perfect, Susan was so much in love with Bruno that she does everything he ever asked ao her...

Most times, it's quite foolish for one to be so sentimental and emotional to try separating two drunkers from fighting. Bruno thought of Susan all throughout the day and on his way home with his friend, they came across two men fighting, he quickly went to separate them but unfortunately one of the fighters on trying to shoot his victims shot Bruno on his forehead. Samuel ran to him trying to call for the ambulance but he died before they could come.

Bruno died without saying goodbye to his grandmother, his siblings and even his lover. The last time he saw her was the picture of her that kept on appearing to his face at work..
