Left At The Mercy Of No Other!!! by Marytony(f): 11:13pm On Oct 25, 2017
Valentino never said Hello,
Valentino never worked but he was a hero on whom wealth bestowed heavily and pride was his alter-ego.
Valentino barely walked but whenever he did,his earphones will suit the stroll because he couldn't bear a "zero-human" saying hello,his fellow was himself.
You want to dance to his tone? Come tomorrow, the Eagle's song is how he rolls you just can't follow!
Valentino is the only son,
No one ever said, 'No' to him, no matter how old except they wanted to be named after sorrow.
Jude!
Jude was the only son of Ruth,always went on foot,
Though Jude was born cute,there was hardly food to make his looks cool.
Ruth and Jude laboured hard so he could go to school, Jude had no boot but he was too full of dreams that he never really noticed.
Jude finished with secondary school and needed to further but the toils of Jude and Ruth soon turned spoils as Ruth could continue no more because she was terribly Ill.
Jude soon noticed cracks in his world and wondered why God could just stand and watch the Devil place the stamp of suffering when he thought he just started coping.
Jude had to get a job, but all to no avail. He kept searching and scrambling for even less than a job but it became more confusing...
It seemed his place in the world was mistaken and that was why every job seemed to have been taken.
Luckily he stopped at the gate of Valentino,
While he zoomed out,for the first time he managed to notice anyone but himself.
With a frown,he beckoned on him. Though his soul almost jumped out to hit a pole nearby, Jude managed to smuggle out a smile as he approached Valentino.
He greeted," good morning sir!"
Valentino replied, " you are ruining my park with your presence,you tout! "
Jude looked down in dismay as the words pierced deep.
On his breath he replied," I am no tout sir, i'm only a poor boy whose mum is in relapse,in search of a job so she won't graduate to relaxing in this relapse eternally."
Immediately, away went a resounding slap that pounced on his face,no mercy!
Valentino withdrew his hand from his face and drycleaned it on the shirt of Jude.
"Get out this minute and don't ever come here again,not even your spirit!"
Jude sobered up and set out for home. As he staggered from stress and a pain-pierced heart,he supported what was left of him with a purported poise as he embarked on the quest of what to tell his mum so she won't worry her health to death.
He got home and saw a couple of women gathered in front of his house. His thoughts flashed through the embarrassment he has endured with his mum as regards actions of creditors demanding their money and his face glowed in rage! He dashed into the fire place nearby and reemerged with a machete and at the top of his voice he yelled!
"You stupid women dare disturb my mum in her ill state over the money she owes you? Have you all lost your consciences?"
He Zoomed towards the women,ready to behead anyone that came his way and they flared for safety...only for him to see his mother lying helplessly on the ground,he shook her vigorously but her body was too cold even for him to expect a bye, he stooped down, cupped his face really hard and stewed in sadness. Ewwww...life has finally duped him, God be sued! His mood turned sour as he shook in pain...even his guardian angel wasn't spared the slightest blame... after all,he stood by and allowed poverty choose his route because had penury not imbued his path,he would have puked his mother off the illness that took her life!
He cried his eyes out and felt his heart burst open but still his heartbeat won't seize!
**...years rolled by...***
On a faithful day, Valentino decided to take a stroll,perhaps to remind himself once more that the world he owned.
He felt so proud as he walked and sweet melodies flourished his heart as the sound of his wealth seemed so loud.
Soon a pound landed on his face and he felt his mouth pout to the south, and BANG! he sat in a boot forcefully where he was put like some fool and he remained mute.
He felt the sudden urge to scream but noticed this tool near him and figured out it was a gun,and even two! Then he kept his cool...
They got to a place and he was dragged out by his suit and soon the Boss came out. As he stood to catch a glimpse, he was pulled down; and on a kneeling posture he found a soothing relaxation.
Finally Jude removed his glasses and peered deep into his sorely eyes and saw,
' WORRY'. Valentino on the other hand peeped at Jude and saw, ' SCARY'.
Some moments later,Jude was informed by others that Valentino was the one in the picture and orders have it that Jude should kill him at once!
It downed on Valentino that there was no negotiation whatsoever, this same Jude he never treated like a brother, how he lived thereafter was never a bother and now he was left at the mercy of no other.
In a teary tone,he screamed, "SORRY!" and Jude introduced himself properly, "I remain your humble tout! Can we have that discussion now? How do we start? "
Valentino was shivering and said nothing. A moment of pity seized Jude as he stared down at ALMIGHTY VALENTINO, being marooned by even wealth itself as it failed to save him for the first time.
In a tone so loud, Jude ordered, " run out of this place,you are ruining my breathing space! Keep the pace, I don't want to see your face ever again! "
**...Curtain falls...***
