Short Story;-The Turning Point by philoedu(m): 12:25pm On Nov 01, 2017
In the turning point of event was on Monday of the new week, and Cassidy felt very uneasy, but in spite of this, he did manage to get back his focus soon after, without given way to any form of pessimism as a lost in the maize. But one thing was certain, he was anxiously waiting to see Jessica.But when the mom came around, she was alone as she disclosed that Jessica would not be around as she have decided to spend the remaining holiday period in London. At this point, the idea of seeing Jessica to break the news of his traveling soon could not materialize , and at this point Cassidy found himself completely devastated mentally. But in a split moment, he felt a cloud running over the sky for an imminent down pour of an unusual rain fall. The reason was very obvious, she was the type, he likes just to see and feel her presence although, he could never say he was in love with her, even if they do not discuss a great deal but it is -a kind of unique affection.
However, he felt very bad and for not going to see her again, even before she finally leave but he soon, remind himself that after all, he was going to travel out, even though, he was yet to be confirmed when that would be. And he remembered, she did promise him she would come around in one of the holiday whether in London or at home in Nigeria. Nonetheless, Cassidy resulted to self accusation, because he now reflected to remember her worry of his passiveness to listen to her whenever she was talking. But Cassidy would not and will always regard such moment as a distraction, and this may be the consequence. As it were, he promised himself to take it that way it is in other to planned for his coming traveling, he least expected, that may come up soon.
Right down in his heart, he was bleeding, as he found he was actually in love with Jessica but due to his passiveness, he could not recognize it as to make it known to her. In the cause of preparation, Granny took the responsibility of making sure they will be sound and healthy when they get there, irrespective of when they will be leaving to be there in Europe. This was due to the weather that could be very severe depending when they get there. Because Granny has travelled far and wide, even to the U.S.A, of which she was always, jokingly boasting with an excitement with Cassidy, how she stood at the podium of the U.N, as an imaginable experience of a life time. And to buttress, this fact, when she eventually left to America at the time, Cassidy was still in the school, as she left everything in his custody to take care off. During the time, there was this couple who were anxiously wishing that Granny will be the one to make their wedding cake, but unfortunately[b][/b] for them, Granny was not around to do it.
Yet they figure that Cassidy must be the underdog behind it all, since Granny, in realty was quite aged, and therefore, they were not going to back down in the quest mean business. With this mindset, they came to the school to ask for Cassidy, and he was just having one of his drawing class, but he was called out to attend to some individual outside, presumed to be his family members. As he saw them, he immediately intuited what they wanted and without argument about the amount, he accepted to get it done for them without problem in just two weeks time. Then he asked for the advance of the money, to enable him to procure the ingredient to proceed in the making of the wedding cake without close supervision. To be able to make the cake, he knew he must ascertain among other thing, the ingredients and what other things is available. And soon after the school he checked that everything was just there to get it done and opens Granny’s bedroom to hide the advance money given to him under the pillow and locked the door. As it were, he was assign the custody of everything and must be ready to account and take responsibility.
At the same period, there was this coetana, -a town person, Cassidy had assumed with all honesty and to have known for a long time, indientro- far back, who also want a birthday cake but without any advance money paid within the week. Without wasting time, he got everything ready in the first one week, both the birthday and the wedding cake, as he expect they come for them with the remaining part of the money. The couples came to discover that it couldn’t have been more beautiful than what they saw and were very overwhelmed with joy of a life time. But the birthday unfortunately was never paid for but the cake collected due probably of trust which was never reciprocated, if you like a sort of betrayer of trust. Then he kept all the proceed hidden under the pillow, without saying a word to any one, as the only one who have the access to Granny’s bedroom.
When eventually, Granny came back, he simply explicated all what happened in her absence in such simplicity beyond any imagination. But for Granny, who has traveled far and wide for side seeing, knows quite well, what it means to came back with virtually nothing left in her purse, after a lot of acquisitions of one thing or the other, as she presented Cassidy with a wristwatch tag- Bristle. Before Cassidy left her, he simply refers her to a pillow on the left hand side of the bed to pick what was paid for the cake he made in her absence. And he tendered his apology or can it be called misconduct, but in either way, he knew he must tell Granny, he was sorry over what has happened over the cake not paid for, but he was simply told not to worry about it. But when Granny went for the Money, she could not believe what she saw and she simply thank Cassidy and gave him a buck of it beyond his disbelief and from then on Granny was always prepared to stick out her neck to assist him out in whatever he chose to do and the scholarship becomes the avenue to reward his dedication and humbleness.And they traveling was schedule to come in February, that was figure out to be one of the coldest period in Europe, although, depending on which part, as it were.
