The Turning Point

Love comes in the least expected ways, and true love catches you off guard. However, one still needs to deliberate natural consequences that accompany falling in love and ensure that the passion of the moment takes subordinate while natural consequences take precedence.

A wise teacher at a secondary school fell in love with a learner that he taught was beautiful, but it got ugly when she fell pregnant. Both their lives took a sharp turning point for the worst. For the man, he lost his tenure, his marriage was in shaky ground, and he suffered all the misfortunes that he felt were a punishment from the Almighty. For the woman, she lost her youth, she left school, she was no longer considered for marriage, and she carried the burden of raising a child by herself.

At the end of every tunnel, there is light. The baby was the light because she grew to be very strong, motivated, ambitious, and most of all, her mothers hope. When the girl reached womanhood, something peculiar happened when she came home to introduce her boyfriend to her family. Her boyfriend was the spitting image of the secondary teacher. Could it possibly be his son?
