2- Tragedy at its peak-

Adanma was high on himself on writing the poem he composed for Jennet and the wristwatch he gave to her on her birthday and said to himself “The words of a poet are venomous. They spread quickly to the heart of the hearer” and smiled at what he just composed. He was having his dinner alone at home in their parlor as his parents were not around. On finishing his meal, He went straight to his room to attend to his school assignment. He still couldn’t get his mind off the early occurrence of the day.

‘knock, knock’ a voice came from the door. It was his parents at the door! Adanma opened the door letting both his parents into the house. ‘how was school?’ the heavy voice of his father boomed in the living room. ‘it was fine dad’ he replied absent mindedly. ‘While I was on my way from the market’ he added ‘I met your mother, and we came home together’ he ended his statement while his wife agreed nodding her head. ‘Food is ready’ he said. seemingly tired of his father’s gist. He led them to the dining room after collecting their bags and dished out their foods and his. ‘Father, thank you for providing this food oh lord, continue to provide for this family’ he prayed and they all chorused ‘Amen!’
