"Hmmm… that's seemed like a good reason to get educated"
"The certainty in her voice when she says things like that scared the shit out of me."
"Yeah, those people of old actually believed it and there is nothing stronger than belief. Nothing."
He exhaled deeply. His voice was low and emotional as he continued, "One night, she prepared my favourite meal and while I ate, she told me that someday, all of us will die but we will return to continue from where we stopped. To which I responded ok and asked whether she was about to die? She assured me that it wasn't yet her time. She bid me goodnight and retired to her bed. I woke up the next morning and my food was ready. I ate and went to school but when I came back, grandma was no more."
"Sorry" Uche gave him a soft squeeze on his shoulders. "I guess you saw that coming."
