Good morning/ Good afternoon/good evening to everyone here all over the world and how was your day

You and I is a story of a young man who thinks God has forgotten him because he couldn't find a job after he graduated with a good grade from the University but God has a way of surprising everyone at the right time, stay tuned.

Jerry was a graduate from the University but ever since he signed out of school he has been looking for a job but he couldn't find any and he doesn't want to go back to his mother's house knowing that she's expecting him to take care of her, meanwhile, the main reason he chooses not to go back home is because he doesn't want to add to his mother's problem since she's just managing a very small business to feed herself.

Jerry then moved in with his friends which he got to know at the youth service though he doesn't know much about them but he thinks he can cope since they are all guys, one morning Jerry dressed up to look for work all around the city but all his efforts were wasted because he trekked miles back to his house where he is managing with his friends.

When he got home he didn't knock since they are guys he just enter only to find out that the 3 other guys smoke and drink but he couldn't say anything because he has no say over anything in the house he just went straight into his room and packed all his belongings together to leave for his mother's house since nobody pursues him in his mother's house.

As he went back into the parlor all of his friends were already drunk so he couldn't say goodbye to them then he left since he doesn't like what they are doing, we all know it is the kind of friends we move with that people will use to judge us and he doesn't want that at all, all he wanted is a cool life working class and living a low key life but with all of these friends that can't happen so he has to leave to where there is rest of mind for him.

On getting home his mother was so happy to see him again because ever since he left for youth service he hasn't returned back home, they both hug each other so tight after that they went inside then his mother started asking about work and Jerry nearly cried as he narrates all his efforts been in vain and what those guys have been doing to him then his mother said to him: "there is no place like home" meanwhile don't forget that "when there is life there is hope" says his mother

She then went outside to cook for him after he finish eating he now went outside to sell market with his mom because that was where she gets money to send him to school so Jerry wasn't ashamed of his mother being a pepper seller, after arranging the pepper he swept everywhere and clean the blender they use to blend for people.

His mother felt happy to see her son doing all that without complaining or irritating simply because some other children in the street that she has seen won't do that for their mother so she look up to the sky and said: "Lord I thank you for the kind of son you gave me" Jerry looked back and smile then he continues taking care of his mother's shop.

When he finish washing the blender he stretch his hand with a bowl of water to pour on the road only to find out that he pour it on someone's body he couldn't look up to see the person's face he just went on his knees and start begging because he noticed that the lady came down from a big car to buy pepper from them so he was so shocked that he pour pepper water on a rich lady's body

please ma am so sorry I never look back if someone was coming please am sorry ma says Jerry on his knees in front of Jessy.

Jessy just said: it's ok as Jerry heard her voice he melt because the voice was too sweet then he began to beg her more please madam am sorry by that time his mom has knelt down with him to beg the lady whom Jerry poured pepper water on

But she kept on saying: it's ok you two can stand up am only here to buy pepper so they both stood up his mother package pepper for her while Jerry gets prepared to blend it for her and he couldn't look at her face because he was feeling guilty of what happened.
