My name is Cindy, and I am a living definition of the prodigal daughter. Unlike the famous prodigal son, I didn't just run away with my shares of the family's properties, I ran away with everything the family ever owned in order to fulfil my own ambition. I wanted to be a music artist. I thought my family did not understand me, I felt the whole world was against me. According to them, my rascal style of music doesn't suit me, but my boyfriend thought otherwise. So I listened to him, got influenced by him not realizing that I was fulfilling someone else's ambition instead of mine.
In order to promote my music, I sold everything my family ever had, hoping to repay in 10 folds immediately I made it in the music industry. Everything was going as planned, until after two months, when I realized that even though I was getting a good number of streams, I was getting nothing from music. Reality dawned on me when I went to talk to my boyfriend about it. I wanted to understand what happened to the money we were making, so I decided to branch to a supermarket on my way to see him, hoping I would get him something alongside a surprise visit. But to my surprise, I Saw him with another woman and child.
To think he didn't even flinch at the sight of me, but called his wife and introduced her to me. It was then I realized I wasn't just played by a man, I was played by a couple, or should I say a family. My rent would expire in a month, all my albums are under his custody, the money from them always went to the man I loved, now I have nothing. With shame and tears I have come back to the village, where my family now lives because of me. I can't look my mother in the eye, and she can't look at me either. How do I mend my ways, I lost my father to a heart attack due to my waywardness, my mother cries everyday because of the pain I put her through, how do I atton for my sins, who would beg my mother.
