A Shadow Behind The Scene
He stood just like a light that covers every other lights and the rock that is bigger than every other rock. He was the only man who is beyond every reasonable doubt in the eyes of men. The one surrounded by the heart of gold.
I'm Peter the son of the wood cutter who was a popular man in the whole of my land. I hailed from a town that is full of hatred. My family is surrounded by a cloud of poverty which I guess would be difficult to come out from.
My younger ones died of hunger leaving me behind. I'm living by the grace of God not until I met this man whom everyone saw as the most difficult being ever. He was feared by his nature just because of the magnet of muscle around his features. He is Danish and hailed from another part of the world.
One fateful day, I was not having food to feed myself and my family had none to feed with as well. I finally met a kind hearted person who happened to be Danish. He was just like a saviour sent to take care of my family and I. Danish has been seen as a tough man but he was not instead was the simple man ever.
After explaining my ply to Danish, he saw things and reason with me. I was about to quit schooling when I was told a saviour has cleared up my debt. I was just wondering who but came up without knowing who. I was only told the person might be my ghost in shadow form following me to see to the end of my success. According to what the management told me, this person wants me to become a great man because he has seen the great light shining in me. I later concluded "it would be my new friend, Danish.
I went straight to his house, which I have not been to before. We were only friend for five days and has giving me a lot. So, I did not trust him initially, but who are my not to trust? I'm just a poor guy from a poor family. What do I have that he wants to collect from me? After pondering on these questions, I finally have trust for him and now fully trust him for what he has done to me. Danish is just a stranger in my life and has done a lot even without knowing me in detail.
When I was done with my schooling, Danish made me rich by making me part of the owners of the company. With much findings, Danish was suffering from cancer. I was just filled with the ocean of tears with huge droplets just as thick as milk rolling down my cheeks. Although, it was a season of happiness as I have been made the owner of Danish company, and at the same time was just like a hated cloud full of water ready to drop.
I was not the happy type as someone who has entrusted his wealth to me would not been seen as part of this world. Death will take him out and I was not myself. He has just three weeks to remain on earth.
I went straight to meet up with Danish.
Don't you have a family? Why did you entrust your company to me?
Danish replied me:
The very day I saw you, I knew you would have a bright future. I have family and I have settled them one by each. I don't have a child and I don't want you to address me as Mr but by my name. This is the reason I asked you to call me Danish. This was because of the vision I have seen towards you. I don't want to tell anyone about my condition, but I have cancer which my days here are numbered. So, the only one who can manage my company is you. Just make sure to always visit my family, although they don't need your money as they have more than enough.
Tears gushed out of my face and I was just left without words other than to say nothing. I began to cry while he was consoling me telling me to be strong.
It's three weeks and he is gone to rest. I am fulfilling my promise to him and what he asked me to do.
