ITALY

    Seon was done packing his bags.smartphone dressed on a sleeve shirt top and navy blue shorts.

“I’m ready” he said to his parents and his buddy. Aiden.

Seon Nichols is the only son of Richard and Monica Nichols.Blessed with riches any one could dream of. Why has he decided to leave all this in search of a job? On his own.

With his father’s wealthy solely his,he never have to work for the rest of his life. But he doesn’t see it that way.

He wants to go out there and struggle like other youths.he wants to start from the scratch and know the value of money.he wants to make use of his certificate. 

And most of all, he wants to forget his old rusty,lusty and womanizing life.

He wants to be somebody.

Not by his father’s wealthy. But by his own sweat.

He has made up his mind.

“I know I can’t stop you..I’ve tried my best to talk you out of this but your mind is already mad up. I just want you to know that whatever decision you take in life am always with you.

You are still and will always be my little boy.

No matter how tall or old you grow….

Always remember your dad and I….

We love you so much”

Monica cupped her sin’s face and burst into expected tears.

“Its okay mom…I know and I love you too..I will always be your little boy no matter how old or tall I grow”

Seen assured pulling himself into monica’s warm embrace.

Seen his really going to miss tgis woman..

He’s made a decision no one understands tge reason why .

But right now,He’s doubt’s. Is he really ready for this? 

Leave his town and go in search of something he already has.

He’s already tired of being a spoilt rich boy.

He wants to learn the hard way.

   He disengaged from his mom and turned to his dad.

”I trust you decision son. I believe you know whats best for you. Am so happy you are thinking like a man which you are already.

You are no longer a kid and we all can see that now.

But don’t forget to get out of trouble. Remember yourur mom and i won’t be there with the money to sabmve you as always.

Be good and show the world you are from a good family.

We love you seon. Go out there and make us proud”

Richard clammed seon by his chest.

“Thanks Dad” seon pulled himself into his dad’s inviting arms.

Monica once more burst into tears.seon hasn’t lived very far from them before.even during colleges, he was always around.

Now her son has decided to travel to NEW JERSEY on his own..

She can’t seem to understand why or what happened gotten into her son.

“I’ll really miss you”she added ..

Son got hold of his luggage and smiled at his mom.

He’ll surely miss her.

“Seon you can still change your mind about the car..at least,take onevwith you . it’s gonna save your cash”

Richard suggested again. Causing seon ti frown.

“Dad i told you before…New Jersey isn’t a place where I’ll go to flaunt myself…I am a nobody there…im starting fresh even though it gonna be hard to cope.I’ll catch up.

I need just my clothes and not cars or money.

I wanna go out there and make good use of myself.

I wanna go out there and have a taste of suffering. I wanna know how it feels like.

I want to struggle like my mates to know if am fit.

You’ve already done enough by securing a job for me at new jersey…Heard its one of the best companies.

Thanks a lot for that.

And mom I appreciate your concern for me.I’ll surely miss you, this home,my friends. But I will come back as a fulfilled person. I believe its possible…

Or don’t you wish that for me too?”

“We do son” they chorused.

“So wish me luck”he smiled hard and headed out of the sitting room.

“Canon Aiden, help me with this will you” he added gesturing a bag to him.

“Goodbye son..best of luck and remember we love you so much” they said as he made way with his friend out of the house.

`~~~~~~~

“I’m really gonna miss you buddy”

Widen admitted truthfully.

“Me too…I wish I could change my mind about this. But I simply can’t. Its just a decision my spirit is made up to”. He clipped.

“No problem..but what about Andrea? Don’t you think she’s supposed to know about this.?? I mean she’s your girlfriend remember.;$he’lo be damn worried”

   Yeah, he’s thought of that too.

“I know she will, that’s why I did not tell her about this. I don’t wanna hold memories of this place. I can’t be thinking of how to survive and also thinking of Andrea.

Besides, she would never have signed up for this shit…

She loves me because of my money, I’ve always got the cash to give her anything she wants without asking twice.

Just imagine how she’d react if I told her. Maybe she’ll try to talk me out of this.

Noe you see my reasons.. If am ever gonna find true love, she’ll love me for who am planning to be. A simple straight forward guy.

Not for my money or cute butt face.

No more hot chicks  flocking around my balls for money. I’m done with them”

He deadpanned.

“Its good to know how made up you are for this.  I trust you and wish you luck”

“Thanks man.”

“And please do not tell Andrea about my whereabout. I can’t handle her face at my doorstep.  I know she’s gonna pressure you but please, you can’t tell her. Hold your ground ..

Please promise me that” Seoned Arched giving Aiden a stern look.

“I promise” Aiden nodded in response.

“Thanks bud” he patted him on his back.

   `~~~~~~~~

Minutes later, they arrived the airport. Seon  Nichols has already booked his flight to New Jersey. His plane would be leaving the next ten minutes.

“The flight to New Jersey will be leaving the ten minutes. All passengers are expected to be on Board..

I Repeat.

The flight for New Jersey  will………

The announcement went on and on…

“This is it man. Good luck from me. I’ve reached my limits”

“Thanks Widen…I will miss you”

He retorted as they both pulled into a warm embrace.

Aiden bade him once more before he left.

Son Heaved out repeatedly as he made way to his plane..  He muttered some words which only himself could hear.

“New Jersey it is…”he smiled

“A new beginning”.
