Charles
Three weeks and still no sign of Ruby. I was worried, restless, having sleepless nights, constant headache from over thinking, tensed. Constantly loosing focus and couldn't concentrate on anything.
All I thought about was my missing daughter.
A child that was young, unmarked by anything was out on the dangerous streets of Lagos. A state that consisted of twenty million people. With plenty of visitors from all over the globe.
We searched all over the city, but we couldn't find her. As the days went by began undergoing a great disorder of uncertainty. With great fear that I had completely lost her.
I cried, in my heart. Because I was a man and couldn't cry out. Tough men didn't cry right? Even if their life

As if I would.Mother's could be frustrating at times.You were still a child to them, despite being three decades and a few years.You were always wrong, no matter what you did.

CharlesI was pissed. Max refused to let me have more than two bottles of beer. He had said he didn't want me to get drunk.He was a good friend and cared about my well-being, but that didn't stop from having this urge to continually punch him in the face."Give him a fruit juice like limeades with ice cubes in it. He needs it to cool his brain." Max told the bartender and I shot him a death glare."Stop doing this to yourself, man. Ruby would want you to be strong wherever she is. You're acting like shit.""You are shit." I insulted."You're making a big mess of yourself."I knew he was right, but I just ignored him. I was tired of repeatedly hearing such words. I just wanted Ruby back
