      They say the best things in life are free. However I, child of the soil, have always found it difficult to relate…

      Sad Reality

      Chapter one

      It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon and there I was just sitting on a pavement on Mpofu Street. Its one of the famous streets in Joburg, Gauteng. It was always good, and I say it again, to just chill alone watching different people passing by.

      Sometimes such moments could be depressing but I hardly took notice of its effects. If I survived my entire life without knowing my parents, I could surely survive anything.

      As I was sitting on the pavement, I could not help but recall the pain of growing up on the streets. There were times during those cold days when I regretted running away from the orphanage.

      Growing up was not easy. How can I forget the day I even considered eating Cockroaches. Hunger and desperation is something very painful. Those were the painful days. Complaining about them now won’t make the past any better.

      Before I knew it, two hours had elapsed. Expectations were high when I arrived to the pavement but nothing much transpired, which was a big let-down I must say.

      Beautiful girls passed right near me without uttering a greeting or just a mere wave. It made me feel a bit irrelevant. How come they don’t recognise me? Why can’t I be like other people who get likes on Facebook, and are followed by a lot of people on Twitter and Instagram?

      I made a silent promise to myself and tried to put a smile on my face. These lonely moments have to end soon, I said in my heart.

      Just when I had decided to get up to leave, a tall lady with an exquisite body and chocolate-coloured skin approached me. You would swear she had been eating honey since childhood, to possess such good looks. Her smile triggered all my nerves. When I first made eye contact with her, I was caught up in a lot of emotions, which kept rising as she slowly came closer to me. So many thoughts were running rapidly through my mind like a springbok being chased by a pack of hyenas. Before she could even greet, I had an assumption that she
