Chapter 48: Visiting Uncle Dale.

I never wasted time to get ready in the morning, immediately I heard the sound of my alarm, I jumped out of bed and started running to get prepared, it didn't take long for me to finish up and jump into my, then took off.
The time was 07:00 A.M. when I got there and I can see the busy tight security watching, there was a banner near the gate, it wrote visiting hours starts by eight in the morning and ends at five in the evening, that means I have to hold on for an hour more before I can move in.
I heard the buzzing alarm immediately it rang eight, I opened my eyes whilst lying in my car, I came out from my car only to see eight missed calls from my manager, that has to wait for later.
I was sitting in the chair when I saw the policeman bringing Uncle Dale in, his face wasn't looking happy, not that he ever will as far as he was imprisoned. He haven't seen me, and I can't tell the level of pissed he will be immediately he sees me. Immediately his eyes met mine, he was stunned, like he just paused there, taken aback by my presence, I can see the way his heartbeat goes up and down as fresh tears came down his cheeks, I have never seen Uncle Dale cry before, but now, I have just made him cry for the first time in my presence. What is he thinking?, Is he that pissed and mad at me?, His face doesn't look like he was, but the fact that I can see the tears still in his eyes shows that he's going through emotions right now. 
I never knew I was crying too until the drop of my tears fell on the back of my palm, I sniffed in as I am trying to be a man like I was taught and hold it all back, I should be his rock right now, I shouldn't cry if I wanted him to remain strong as always, but as much as I can't understand all this feelings, I let the tears flow down.
We have been talking about the career I made for myself for some minutes now, our hands were both resting on the glass demarcating us, I told him how I started with life there, how I got to catch up on Mr Caleb, how I got to build my gym like his own, how I got to train quite a number of people who are now chasing after their career, how I even got to learn stunt driving and how long it took me, how I got to become an actor and almost won an Oscar, how I am handling and living the life I had created for myself and I am glad hearing my achievements from my own lips so far.
“ At first, I had the thought that I am about to get myself into a new trouble when I went to get you through an illegal process, I was happy after the deal was over and I was ready to train two sons instead of one, but as time goes does I realize that I was training a man and a boy.... The day I began seeing you as a man was the day you taught me something I never thought of, I have always believed that life is about making a decision and taking responsibility for that decision, that was something David never had, making decisions, and with no decisions, there's no responsibility, you came that morning, changing your mind concerning leaving from my house, I automatically became disappointed in you for going back on your decision and failing to create a responsibility to create, I was blaming myself as a horrible father until you said those words and your reasons for changing your mind overnight.... I learnt something new then that a man can change his decisions and create a responsibility to take from it, you challenged me right before my face and told me about your rights, you made me believe that I can still hope on David becoming a Man in the near future and when I heard you ran away, that's when I complimented myself for raising a Man in my home, you were always the son I ever wished for.....”.
He's proud of me for running away then, I thought that I ruined everything by running away not knowing that I made him hope that he can still do something with David whom he spoke as if he never believed in.
“ But I can't seem to understand this uncle Dale, David was a figure I also looked up to, he was also my role model when I lived under you and you was always his hero, what changed?....”, I asked tearfully. He just smiled and waved his head negatively, eyes down as if he found it embarrassing to talk about him.
“ You see Jones my boy.... David lived by the rule, not by his decisions, this is something you've to know, life in school and life after school are a total different thing, you can see a student always taking the first position in class only to graduate and ends up miserable in the future, then you will see a student who's known for his illiteracy, after he also graduates, he ends up becoming a millionaire, not in an evil way, but in a hardworking way because that's the decision he made for himself, both of them were once a student but after being a student, that's when the final results comes out, in school we acquire knowledge, in reality, we live by practical, school teaches you lesson and gives you test, but life gives you test and teaches you a lesson, never forget that my boy....”.
I still don't understand All he meant, but our time is almost over, guess I will come back to see him when next I create such opportunity for myself, but until then, he should live well.
