Seated in the same living room with everyone else, I am still finding it hard to believe that David the muscular guy I always looked up to was now looking miserable, both physically and mentally, he's a mess.
If Uncle Dale was here, all this wouldn't have happened, he shouldn't have left, if he was here right now, he will possibly say, You boy should leave this room, you're no longer welcomed in here unless you come to the Gym at least three times in a week, at this point, I miss Uncle Dale more than ever, he was the father anyone could wish for, a father who would go any extent to see his son become a Man, even if it requires going to prison to make that a reality.
David once told me the difference when a Mother raises a son and when a father raises a Man, I guess all he did was cramp that from uncle Dale's words but never put it into practice. David was a gem to be, a young man I can look at and see the father instead, but now, now I can't put words together to speak because what I am looking at is a Man who became a boy, and from a boy becomes a girl who wants nothing but to be showered with love.
“ So I saw your movie man, you was dope ”, he said, sitting on a chair where his body took in every single space of the chair, yet in his hand was a bugger which he's still about to unwrap, should I seal my lips and just watch this continue or should I act like someone who was trained by Uncle Dale and speak senses into him?.
He was seated there waiting for me to speak while I watch him with disgust in my eyes. Was his Mother doing this on purpose to ruin him because that's the only way she thought she could stab on Uncle Dale's back or was this just how woman train their son, eat as much as you can so you will get big, I will show my friends that my son is eating healthily, is this healthy?, Is this before me f**king healthy?, I don't think so.
“ I think I'm in the wrong house, maybe my friend is dead.... Only if I wish I can see him again even for once...”, I said with a displeasing look on my face. 
“ Wait, What did you say?, Are you trying to say my son is Dead when he's right here looking at you?....”, she came to me and slapped my face, growling with anger. That's something Uncle Dale can say and I don't regret saying it even if it's rude and disrespectful.
“ Get up and leave my house now!.... You're no longer welcomed here....”, she screamed at me, Jackie was the one standing between us right now so that she wouldn't strike again. I turned to David to see his reaction about what I just said, but there was nothing there, he was Just biting on the bugger in his hands but slowly as if he was pained with what I just said but wouldn't do anything about it.
Thanks to God that I brought Jackie with me, because I might have done something that will land me in jail, she will possibly acuse me of assault or something else which would ruin my image like that of her son and get money out from me like she did Uncle Dale.
“ You're nothing but a piece of trash David, I'm disappointed to see a once friend of mine in this miserable situation, I can never believe that you would end up like this after all I have learnt from your old self, you never missed a step in becoming a better man, your father hoped that one day he will be happy that he gave birth to a boy but succeeded in training up a Man, but no, no, right now all I see is a Man who has lost the drive, a young man who has no goals, a Man who's delusional with love and affection.....”, I left the building as Jackie followed me out of the door, immediately I heard the sound of the door lock behind me, that's when I let go of the tears in my eyes as I fell down on the floor, resting my back on the wall.
I failed, I failed as a brother, I couldn't even protect just a single brother I had, how can I ever build a family?, How can I ever become someone as strong as Uncle Dale when I can't even lead my only brother to a good path?, I looked back at the door which was sealed shut, “ Oh God.... What have I done?....”, I placed my hands on my face, really breaking down in tears in front of Jackie.
She stood there quite, knowing that she can't do anything about this. “ I don't know whether I am about to say this right Jones, I might be totally mistaken, but with the knowledge I gained from you, I know that I will have to say this.... If I should be Uncle Dale you have always loved and cherish, I will tell you this, you're being a fool son, would you sit here crying when the problem is still there watching?, Will your tears solve the problem?, Why would you quit and cover your face in shame when you never tried your best, even if you tried your best Jones, as far as the problem is still there staring back comfortably, you didn't try enough....”.
I opened my eyes to see who was saying those words, is this really Jackie or am I seating weakly before Uncle Dale?, I stood up immediately, looking into her face, tears smearing her makeup while watching all this.
She's right, I just showed Uncle Dale that I can't fight when he's down, no, that's not how I was trained, that inside that room, I will have to fix.
