Successful Life Story at CALM (Part 5)

A warm welcome was given to me with a very nice meal. After the meal, my grandmother who had accompanied me had to go back although this gave me a great blow in my heart because knowing her as my mother she was the only person I was free with in my life.

Time went by and I waited for her coming but she never even paid me a single visit all the time I spent to my Aunt’s place. Life was sweet like the first wine offered to the bride during wedding ceremony although it was missing the taste of my grandmother. I made new friends and I got a quite number of them. I became used to the place but the more I got used to it the harder things became on my side. Work at home increased, rules became tough every now and then, restrictions were made here and there, missing school became normal behind the knowledge of my aunt, hard labor I had no option to it, I became hungry of food at the village and at home, beating was extended to me as the way of straightening my path of life, she would beat me until she is tired. Fear increased in me and I tried to work hard, as a house boy, for pleasing my aunt. However this was like forcing a goat to take water.
