Good reading

Cheikh Gueye

Salam you probably didn't know , I introduce myself my name is Cheikh Tidiane Gueye, 17 years old only son. I lived with my parents in France. I was there since I was 3 years old I think. My parents moved to France because of my father 's work . But for some time he had a lot of worries at work, he came home late , you could see that he was exhausted and lacked sleep .

He always fights to protect us mom and me, my dad didn't get along with my grandparents and my uncles anymore because according to what mom told me he doesn't accept their unions but my dad doesn't . did not see himself married to another girl .

This is me

After the few problems that my dad had in his business, they finally go bankrupt? My dad had done everything to give us back all the luxury and comfort that we had but nothing, and he can't count on anyone in his family ...

After the few problems my dad had in his business, did they finally go bankrupt ?

My dad had done everything to give us back all the luxury and comfort we had but nothing, and he can't count on anyone in his family since my uncles (his brothers hated him, wesh he abused them ) nor his friends here because let's say they were all hypocrites , like when we were rich everyone was there but after this bankruptcy everyone turned their back on us. Really people are mean . And I'm helpless about it. Me who didn't give a damn even at school . What I want is going out to nightclubs with my friends, yes that was my life , chicha evenings , girls , alcohol etc...

After that, nothing was going as before, my dad had sold all our cars , even mums ', we had nothing left.

The day came when my parents called me to talk to me, we were all at the table, I thought it was for dinner , it's true that it 's very rare that we all have dinner together but I had hope and yes something good after all that just happened to us, but no they called me to talk to me.

Dad: know son?

Me: yeahsssssss

Mom: we have something to tell you

Me:?????

Dad: given our current situation, we are having a lot of trouble making ends meet .

We have done everything but nothing is going, well true that I was able to repay some debts but .....................

.....................................

........................blahblah.......

He always go on with his speech

.....reason why we have to go back to Senegal tomorrow inchallah I have already booked 3 tickets do your business

Me: wow.....? Wait what did you just say? Returned to Senegal to whom ? _ Don't forget that nobody loves us over there! I'm not going back to the bled it's out of the question understood

Mom: son , listen to me, you don't understand, we have nothing left here, what are we going to survive on? And I'll tell you I have a bad feeling you shouldn't stay here. Listen to your mother for once please.

Me: May...

Dad: there are no buts! We 've spoiled you too much I think, we 're going there one step at a time, do your business, we're leaving at 9 a.m.

Then he got up to leave

Mom wanted to talk to me but I did n't even listen my parents got me drunk wesh ....

Shipp....

That 's how we landed here.

Arrived there is a car that came to pick us up

I was sitting behind with my mom and my dad in front next to the driver , was so focused on my phone that I didn't know what was going to happen .

Mom scream before I look up to see what's going on heard a boom! Then black hole

I woke up in the hospital but I had nothing just a terrible headache that 's all.

A doctor came to see me

Young man you're fine yes yes

What happened ?

-you don't remember anything?

- tell me, are my parents?

-....

-doctor where are my parents tell me?

I want to go out

- no you still had to remain under observation

- Damn I'm fine I said, I'm getting out of here

Now you understand how I ended up here .

KYA

More than 2 hours now no news from mom, Awa still hasn't arrived

I call Karim to tell him

PHONE CALL _ _ _

Karim: Yeah sweetie

Me: Boy , listen to me, I've been telling him everything since I got home.

Karim: fat but it's not sure to stay alone had to call me from the beginning , I'm coming right away

uh ok see you later

beep beep beep

I hear the doorbell ringing , I think it's mom I'm going to open

One second I'm coming

I open and it was my sister

Her: what mom is still not here

Me: still not and she does n't answer , don't you think we should go to the police?

She: hunnn police no mum must be busy maybe let 's wait !

You see it 's already 9 p.m. , it's getting late and you know that dad will be worried if he can't reach mum, he'll be calling us soon.

AT THE HOSPITAL

Aicha Fall: doctor you had to save her please save it ! Snif is my only sister

Madam , don't worry, we're doing everything we can to save her .

son sheikh was still in his room when we suddenly heard screams

Doctor doctor..my mommy doctor...mommy..don't leave go..mommy..wake up..you sniff mommy....doctor.....mommy mommy don't leave me mommy mommy.. .

And after that nothing more

She had just given up her soul ?

He lost his mother and I a sister ?

............................................

He was shot ndeysannn

to ask about his father when I was told he died on the spot in the accident . And the young man still didn't know

I can't tell him this sad news.

Losing both parents on the same day Allahou Akbar

Life is hard, it's horrible.

He is so young why is life so hard on him.

But I will keep my promises, yes I will take care of Sheikh as if he were my own son.

I don't even know where I put my phone , my daughter will surely be worried .
