Not long after, we learned their mother had died while giving birth a few months before. Their father, overwhelmed with caring for them, could not manage, so he brought them to their maternal grandmother, who then enrolled them in the school.

I eventually left that school and never saw those kids again.

Over the years, I have bumped into some of my former students, now big boys and girls, but never these two.

Today, on my way back from work, I stopped by my tailor’s shop to pick up a dress. I was not in a hurry to get home, so I decided to walk the long distance.

When I got to the area where that school once stood, nostalgia hit me. But nothing prepared me for what happened next.

Just as I was about to leave the street, I saw a familiar face. The same boy. He is taller now and thinner, but the face was still the same, only different in a way I wish I did not have to see.

He looked dirty. His eyes were bloodshot. The stench as he walked past me was suffocating. He did not recognize me; he walked on casually. But, i never forgot the face of my student.

His lips were dry and cracked, and he was sipping straight from a sachet of gordon’s dry gin.

It broke my heart. His condition looked like substance abuse.
