Ten years of hard suffering ended, but it left a remarkable mark on the beholder. Looking back at the tales from the regretful events that almost took his life...

He thought of what to do – no money but big plans, a perfect relationship but hardship. Akanni went home, bombarded with thoughts of how to win her back.

*Ring* *Ring* *Ring* (phone rings)

Akanni - Hello

Aduke - How are you?

Akanni - I'm fine, how was work?

Aduke - I didn't go to work.

Akanni - Are you sick again?

Aduke - *Angry* Are you crazy? Why would you make such a statement?

*Drops call*

Akanni was lost; the Aduke he knew was gone. Why isn't life fair to him? Most of his friends had progress, he is becoming a joke. Even the girlfriend he loves most has turned on him.

*Ring* *Ring* *Ring* (phone rings)

Akanni - Hello sis

Ajoke - Egbon (meaning Elder Brother)

Akanni - Hope no problem? I already told you I'll be coming this evening.

Ajoke - There is a problem, Mom and Dad finally pushed through with the separation.

Akanni - What? I thought I spoke with them last week?

Ajoke - It was finalized today, so please be around in the evening. Bye.

Akanni - Bye.

*Call ended*

Akanni begins to cry; everything around him is collapsing, and he is helpless. He decided to change his clothes and prepare for his journey back home. While packing, his eyes caught the tip of the rope that he has been contemplating on using to end everything. That's when it happened... Rope tied and stool pushed...

But before the end, starts the beginning... Akanni's Landlord pushes the door open, saves him, and hands over the letter.
