THE SHOCKING HOOK😱 - by Drizzleeagle

A woman in a beautiful dress screaming at a man sitting in the dust‎‎Chioma: Get your filthy wretched hands off my wrapper! Do I look like the kind of woman who associates with failure? You smell like bad luck and old dreams. Get out of my sight before I call the village youth to sweep you away like the trash you are!‎‎By the way 💁; My names are Chibuike Joshua Amuh AKA DrizzleEagle🤗 please sit down, relax and enjoy yourself ☺️‎‎Before I tell you about the day the earth moved in the village of Ochima, I want you to understand who Daniel was. Because it matters🤠. It matters very much 👍.‎‎ ‎Daniel was a man of the soil; He was a builder, the kind of man who didn't just lay bricks but built homes that could withstand the fiercest winds and Flood.‎‎ Ten years ago, he left for the city with nothing but a tattered bag and a hunger to that Lagos(wicked grinding Lagos) eventually turned into gold 🥇 🪙.‎‎He owned warehouses. He had men who called him Boss 🤠. But Daniel never forgot the smell of the red earth after a first rain. He was a quiet and gentle man, the kind who sat in the third row of the church and sang from memory. He was engaged to Chioma the most beautiful girl in the village. Everyone said she was a prize, but Daniel's mother had warned him that some beauties are like painted graves 🤔 lovely on the outside, but cold within🤦.‎‎‎ Daniel decided to find out for himself; He wanted to know the truth of a person’s character when they think nobody important is watching 😱‎‎He arrived in the village not in a convoy 🚘🚘🚘🚗🚘🚗🚘🏎️🚓🚔 but in a dusty bus 🤦. He wore a singlet with holes, cracked bathroom slippers, and trousers that had seen better days. He walked to Chioma's father's compound, looking like a man whose life had been broken into pieces😭😭.‎‎ Daniel: Chioma my love 🙂‍↔️ the city was cruel. I lost everything in a fire😭, I have come home to start again with you.‎‎ Chioma did not offer him water to drink. She didn't offer him a seat. She looked at his dusty hair and his empty hands and her face turned into a mask of disgust........‎‎ Chioma: (responded with anger 😡)With what? I am 24 years old and I am meant for the life of a queen, not to be a nurse for a Lagos reject! Go back to where you came from. I am done with you 🤦‎‎ ‎ Daniel went to the road side, then slumped against a tree, testing the heart of the villagers. Many passed him by, stepping over his legs like he was a stone. ‎‎Then came Amara. (Amara was not the village beauty 😍 She was a girl who sold oranges, whose clothes were faded from too many washings. Her father was gone, and she spent her days caring for a mother whose chest was a battlefield of coughs😭😭😭.) ‎‎Amara: Brother, you look like the sun has been too heavy on you today. Take these🫴‎‎ She handed him two of her best oranges. she needed to sell to buy her mother’s medicine. She didn't see a Lagos man or a beggar, She simply saw a human being in need. She even took him to her crumbling compound and served him a meal on her family’s finest visiting plate 🍽️ ( a plate she kept hidden from the dust).‎‎ ‎ The following Sunday, the village square was full (It was the day of the Great New Yam Festival). Chioma was there, dressed in her finest lace, standing next to a wealthy man she had already begun to court.‎‎Then, Suprise! Suprise!! Suprise!!!‎The gates of the palace opened 😂‎‎ (Daniel walking out in a white Agbada, looking like royalty👑🤴)‎‎ He walked out, not in torn clothes, but in a white Agbada with blue embroidery that caught the light like the sea. His shoes were Italian leather, and his bearing was that of a king. The square went silent. Chioma's mouth fell open, her heart turning into a cold stone in her chest.‎‎ Daniel: Chioma‎You told me you weren't loyal to poverty.‎‎You told me I was trash. ‎‎But character is what you show when you think the person in front of you has nothing to give you.‎‎He turned to the crowd and pointed to Amara who was standing at the very back, trying to hide her old wrapper🤦.‎‎ Daniel: When I was blind to my own wealth, this girl saw me. She gave me her best when she had almost nothing.‎‎He proceeded 👉Amara, your mother will see the best doctors in the city tomorrow. Your house will be rebuilt with a roof that never leaks. Because a woman who treats a stranger like a king deserves a palace 🤗‎‎ (Chioma tried to run to him, calling his name, but Daniel did not look back)‎‎Question ❓ ‎Should he go ahead and marry Amara? or Should he consider Chioma 🤔‎‎Please kindly consider to engage and don't forget that sending tips is your seed of faith 😂.‎‎God bless you 🙏 ‎
