Ordeals Of Life - Episode 12
yes you are brother.
I knew it since you bear my surname but i don't want to rush.
Tell us what we don't know then and claim back your blood.
Adaku said.
****************
Thank God, his related to Janet, I love this just like Janet loves johnbull and i seriously can't imagine me loosing Jacob to either Janet or Jennifer.
Well as for Janet she obviously can't be her brother's lover and Jennifer seem not to be interested in relationship for now.
She is too empty to think of it now.
So am the favourite.
Joyce thought and smile silently.
She was thinking about this when Jennifer's sound brought her back to the presence.
*******************
Are you serious about this Janet? Jennifer enquiries.
I am very serious.
Once upon a time in our house in Oshogbo, my father showed me a mark in his arm where a snake bite him when he was very small.
I once scared and surprise at the same time because i have that mark toe also, and i can't imagine me been bitten by the snake then i asked him what happens to my toe.
He said it is tradition, any baby born into our family will encounter the snake. But nothing will happen to the child.
When i knew Jacob bears my surname, i never took it too seriously until i noticed the mark on my his toe tonight.
I knew his my brother.
Jacob was astonished with the story he had never heard of in his life.
The only strange and unfamiliar story he had listened to all his life was when Adaku told him and johnbull one cold morning that his not their biological mother.
He listen attentively to the story of how his mother died in the desert.
He had wished since the beginning of his new life to meet at least one of his family again, he love family seriously.
One cool morning in the desert.
Adaku begins.
We were very hungry but we had nothing to eat.
It is just me and my friend feranmi with the boys.
We heard sound of the train from faraway and we ran to the rail road.
We let the babies behind.
Fortunately we got food from the passenger in the train.
Isn't that really great.
We got back to where the babies were but what we saw scare us to the toes.
A snake cuddles itself to Jacobs and his leg was bleeding.
What surprised me was that Jacob was smiling.
But we were very scared.
I have never see that in my life.
The snake went away and we carried the babies and leave the spot.
Feranmi died the following week leaving me behind with the boys.
Jacob, congratulations Janet is your sister.
He was just staring at Janet.
Johnbull, you remember i told you how i ran away with you leaving your twin sister at the hospital with your mother? Johnbull nodded a yes.
That is your sister over there, Adaku pointed at Jennifer whom was smiling already.
They hugged themselves crying and smiling at the same time.
The sat on the flour and watch themselves in silence.
I love you................

in fact, writer, your story is nice but you keep mixing the characters and so makes it so confusing. and some scenes are not found like how janet's parents died and the rest. please always let's your characterization be consistent.
