A Succesful Skit Journey
#WritcoStoryPrompt21

'My dear child,
I know you had your doubts about your birth. I couldn't tell you while I was alive so I left you this letter. Your real parents live in...'
I stared at the unfinished letter in shock. How was I supposed to find my true identity now that I'm left with no one?
I told myself not to give up, but to be a good child. Due of this, I had to get myself involve in comedy show with my real name ( Johnson Frank), so that I will go viral. Believing that when my biological parents view it or hear about me on the radio, they will try contacting me through the number I left in every skit we create with my crew.
Though it wasn't easy sponsoring myself after my adopted parent died, without me getting to know the truth of the matter. But with the help of my friends who pitied my poor situation, I was able to live an average better life.
I keep polling through with a strong faith in my heart that one day i will meet with my biological parents.
I and my crew, we normally move from one house to another to make skit. Some journey we get rejected and some comes to our favor. Our last skit setting was in Abuja at Alhaji kano's house, who accept I and my crew wholeheartedly and even hospitalise us. It was about a rich man who used his family for rutaul, but lately get his repercussion. I was the one who took the rich man part, James took the herbalist part, and Samuel took th Angels part.
I keep shooting skit for 10years, but o never get to meet mine parents. And its almost skipped my mind, just one day I was about to write out next skit. I heared a strange voice saying, 'In one of the skit you're about to create, you will meet your parents '.
I couldn't believe it, as I bust into laughter. Saying 'What I have been expecting for many years but never see, is going to be now? '
Though I never lost hope, as I continued writing. Our next skit was set at Kano in a hostel we lodged. It was about living a fake life, Prince acted th role of the guy who tend to live a fake life. While I and samuel played the role of a poor boy.
After our last skit at the hotel, our next skit was to be set in Cross river. But we got rejected and that was a great lost, after spending alot of money. We didn't let that distract or spoil our day, so we agreed to make the next skit in Lagos.
After three weeks time, I and my crew went to Lagos for our next skit. But it was like the ghost was after us, we got rejected in 5places. we already lost hope, and was about going back, but on our way we saw a beautiful building which we feel in love with and. Stopped by to talk to the owner of the house, I didn't follow my crew in for that. I was outside feeling disappointed, but my friends came saying that the man agrees to let them in. It was like a dream, I came down and we packed our equipment in for the skit. When I pass through the gate, I felt as if I new were it was meanwhile I don't.
When we were about to start, the man an his family came out to watch us. Lo and behold, I heard the madam of the house called my name 'Frank'
I was shocked and wondered where I knew her, but I couldn't recollect. They interviewed me with questions, at the end I came to knkw that they're my biological parents. I was shocked and overwhelmed, and that was the end of our skit...
.... The End
