"Not all that glitters is Gold"

It's yet another day filled with so much to reckon with and a lot to achieve given your readiness in mind and the determination you've been able to build for yourselves across the limitedness of the ever elusive time and i hope you also slept well too.

Today i will tell you a story regarding a very pretty blosoming young lady and a friend of mine called Franca and her ordeal in life so we can have a better lesson drawn from it should we either knowingly or unknowingly be toeing the same line of action as did she.

Franca grew up in a family of six (6) as the first child and as at that time, she was duly regarded as the most beautiful of all the young ladies between the ages of 18 -25 years of age which was well considered the "ripe" age for marriage when a lady should have been able to look beyond being a loner by putting herself into the family way.

As the months came and past, Sweet pretty Franca as she was fondly called by those who were so fond and close to her, had many suitors who came around for her hand in marriage but the pretty looking and an almost 6ft tall fairly dark-skinned young lady who sees her beauty a no-match with those of the other girls around, would from time to time turn these many suitors of herself down as it was obvious she preferred staying single rather than being called a mom where she will begin to undertake some responsibilities being a mom.

Maybe, the right to undertake the said responsibilities of every mom that ranges from tendering the kids to ensuring that the home is kept in the right shape and order was her fears but the aboslute truth was that she never even wanted to hear any man come close with such marriage proposal in her parents house.

This unfortunate thing went on for donkey-years even though she was always seen flexing her life with the megarly rich guys who came and drive her off to many notable spots where they enjoyed themselves and salvaged all that she could find around herself at that time.

In fact, she was very much in love with such life styles that she was hardly found at home at the worries and mercy of her ageing parents who had wished her the best by ensuring she gets married and become responsibile with life hence, it must not be forgotten that Franca had be educated at the higher institution of learning (university) where she boasts an accountancy second-class upper honours degree certificate at one of the most prestigious schools in Nigeria at that time by her parents who at that point never really saw why she would decide to toe the wrong path of only flirting around with every guy who could afford to foot her bills whereas, such things were provided for her within their own little capacity and means in life.

How disheartening her parents would have been at that time given her tranveil with life and her decision to just be a wanderer in life rather than making the most out of it by being responsible.

No day passes by without having the scene of too many fleets of expensive cars parked rightly in front of their house to pick her up for what she felt was the best ever life could present to her given her astounishing beauty.

At that time, Franca had had enough dealings with so many men who are either connected in the sphere of the government or who are megarly rich and they have been able to brandish her with a lot of gifts which she flaunts and paraded around the whole place like a sheep without a shephard with the mind that she has been able to make it in life until one day when something bad happened.

"When the day becomes dark"

Franca who at this time had been cruishing round the entire place in an affluence of her own flirtatious life in her luxurious mercedez benz c400 which was bought for her for 40, million naira ($100,000), one day ran into one of her old time male friends that once brandished her with the huge wealth she flaunts around the whole town with and immidately, they both booked an appointment in a hotel for some momebts of enjoyment of which she was promised yet another $100,000 which she is to be used for whatever purpose she deems fit and even more.

At that, they both went to the hotel and aqcquired a room where they did all that they felt was their main reason for renting a hotel room and of which she was given an amount that was more than the amount that was promised her.

Yes, the day became dark for Franca the moments the man who she was with in the said hotel room had left her off with the claim that he's got a quick flight to catch up with for some buisiness trips in quoted places unknown to Franca and just as the said man had stepped out of the hotel room for the so called untrue business trip that Franca began yelling for help which attracted everyone to the room for her groaning became so much unbearable especailly for other hotel room's occupants and that of the hotel management too.

She could hardly open the door when people came trying to know why the groaning and a possible ways of helping her out of her induced problems.

Then at that, all the psersons that have gathered by her hotel room's door only had to the option of breaking the door and look! She's been bleeding out from her private part, a mixture of blood and some white pores and other coloured subtances oozing out of her part and it stinks to an extent that only a few of all the men who had been present there to help her out could manage to stay for the smell became so unbearable which put everyone on their toes to run for their dear lives.

However, a decision was reached by the hotel management to contact the police so that the situation could be made very official which will as well, remove them from the inpending case involvement pending a conclusive investigation by the police.

At this time after the 911 had been dialed and without much delay, the police responss team had arrived the team with an assigned hospital ambulance that came to evacuate her from the hotel room where she would be taken to receive some medical help.

Getting to the hospital and after a closer examination given all manners of tests that was conducted on her body in order to acertain what was actually wrong with her, the results that came forth proved that her contracted disease defilled all medical proofs and at this point, she was taken to a specialist whose tests also revealed that her disease defiles all medical proofs given his own rounds of tests conducted as well so as to acertain the real cause of her problems.

Oh how time flies! What has suddenly gone wrong with sweet pretty Franca, the said same girl that paraded herself in so much affluence of her own flirtatiousness and pride given the many avanlanche of the wealthy and the high and mighty men she's had an undue encounter and relationship with?

With that in mind, her parents and siblings were contacted and were advised to take her to a local harbalist or a church which were seen as her only last resort if she is to survive cos medically, the battle to save her life could not be won after more than half of all the wealth she had amassed for herself was used in carring out those hospital tests and medically checking her up was to no avail.

Her disappointed parents as much as her siblings then took over from there and rushed her to a local harbalist or a seer who of course told them on a plain note after he had consulted his oracles that her future had been messed up and her womb destroyed for life, not only that, that any man who comes close to her in any form of sexual intercourse will definitely die and that every thing successful would rather be too far than smile even for a little while for her just the moment she had had just that round of a sexual intercourse with the said man who now happened to be at large.

Then her parents and her siblings after hearing what sad fate it was that befell and as such awaits their daughter and sister, started crying profusely for she has wasted her life in a mere flirtatiousness having ignored her father's warning and dispised her momther's wise counsel to desist from such life style and become responsible by making the most best of her life given the fact that she had been schooled already from her father's little means in life, how disheartening her ordeal is!

"Her end result"

Just as the saying goes, " the end justifies the means", Yes, her end has justified her means and she had now been left at the mercy of life and death which are in the percentage of just 5% chances of surviving and a whooping 95% chances of dying except she's otherwise lucky.

More over, the concussion by the local harbalist wes prepared and the journey to saving her already ramshackled and decayed life was kick-started and on a daily basis, several huge amount of money was spent to an extent that all her physical money in the bank was used up remaining only her house as her only physical structure she could easily fall back to when the day finally becomes dark as was her case now.

At that, everything she had owned and worked for in her frivorities of excessive ugly life style from the many expensive cars she cruised in the whole place with to all her houses and jewellery were all sold on a cheap just to give another try in salvaging her life and as luck would still find a place of smiling to her, she was eventually helped by the local harbalist whose conjuring meant saving her life but the bad truth is that hence she's being helped to still manage to stay alive, she was still dead on the inside as her life never remained the same again given the sets of conditions she had been told initially by the local harbalist that her chances of a getting married, birthing a child or even being successful in life again is placed at a confirmed zero percent (0%), and with that, tears began falling down from her eyes like drops of hard sow. Oh! How badly she has ended up and in a serious mess as well for life!

"From heroine to villain"

Without any iota of doubt given the placements of those ugly conditions in her already misearable life, sweet pretty - ugly dying Franca then ended up and settled for less in life to an extent that she began hawking just about anything she could lay her hands on from Oranges to Mangoes to Pinenapples to Apples and many more other goods of perishable nature while all her suitors back then with both a genuine intention and those that only needed her for some marathon run of sexual intercourse all ran away thereby leaving she herself alone to suffer in her newly found fate hmmmn.

She even did all that coupled with some nanny jobs of helping take care of a woman's baby while she hawks all the perishable items for her livelyhood. Oh! If and only if she had paid attention to her parents wise counsel, then her life would surely not have taken this much of twist.😕

What a lesson that was for us and for all the other teeming young girls and even the boys who would defy all parental guidance and warning to stay free from all difficult life inducing moments of being pinned in a trouble of a life time.

Yes, that was a lesson learnt in the most hardest of ways.
