Steemit Engagement Challenge (week 2): Not all that glitters are gold || by @yakspeace

Hello stemains, I hope you all had a wonderful day, I'm so delighted to welcome you all to blog and I'm so happy participating in this steemit engagement challenge contest. In today's contest i will be telling you a true life story about my friend which I titled not all that glitters are gold, just relax, cross your legs and enjoy my story.

I woke up one beautiful morning only to hear that my dear friend who's name was Priscilla had broken up with Daniel her spouse. I was shocked to have heard such story, I was wondering what could ever break a six (6) years relationship? a relationship that they build for long,they trust and respect each other so much. I was asking myself, could it be that Daniel has cheated on her? oh! no, Daniel is not such a guy that cheats, he is not into ladies, I know him to love only Priscilla and no one else. Despite the fact that he is every woman's dream. he is tall, handsome, hardworking, intelligent and fair in complxtion, yet he chooses to love only Priscilla and avoid all other ladies who throw themselves at him. Even though he was not rich, he was a hard working with a bright future ahead of him, moreover a graduate. I asked Priscilla what caused the breakup, but all I got was silent, my friend could not open up to tell me what happened. I was disturbed because I felt my friend is letting go of her 6 years relationship, a relationship I supported not because of anything but only because Daniel has proved to be supportive and caring towards Priscilla. He was always there for her, and out of the little he had, he always remember to make her happy by providing her basic needs. I won't forget the day Priscilla's mum was hospitalized, there was no money for her treatment, and no relatives was willing to support them financially, all they say is, we wish you quick recovery or get well soon but, there was nothing to show as support for the poor widow. oh! what a world we live in? a world full of wickedness and stinginess. To support the poor widow, Daniel sold some of his properties and even clothes just for Priscilla's mum to be given attention in the hospital. as a matter of fact, Daniel made me believe that love truly exist, he has shown it even though he wasn't yet blessed.

Few weeks later, everything around Priscilla began to change. old clothes were been thrown out, shoes that I can only imagine of getting them in future were everywhere around Priscilla, their house was renovated and all the necessary equipment needed for one to enjoy life at home were made available. oh, what a beautiful place she now lives. life was beautiful and amazing to Priscilla. Her mum was happy to see how her daughter suddenly changed things around. Priscilla has become a blessing to her, and she is now living comfortably in wealth. what a sweet life in a beautiful world for Priscilla.

I now realize why poor Daniel was heart broken. Priscilla has gotten a rich guy that she has always dreamt of. a guy who buys anything of her choice, a guy who can show her to the world and take her around the world just to catch fun and enjoy life. Priscilla was given a car and even a driver who can take her to places around the town. indeed Priscilla was living in heaven here on earth. what is it that a lady would ever need in life that Priscilla does not have? I believe they was nothing at all because she has it all. To add to it, Priscilla moved permanently to stay with her new spouse.

A month after she moved in with her new spouse, Priscilla was found dead by the road side. What! dead!! why my best friend? why so soon?. I could not control my self seeing my friend dead in an abusive way. the mum fainted at the mention of the bad omen and was helpless. In my thoughts her only daughter is gone, the girl who has given her hope, the girl for the reasons of all the changes around her is now dead. who again will be there for her? It was a tragedy, Priscilla is all she has. to my greatest surprise, the new spouse was no where to be found, he had disappeared and no one knows where he lives neither do anyone knows his relatives. Questions were asked on what exactly killed Priscilla, little do we know he was a ritualist. Priscilla was used for ritual. Was so sad for my beloved friend, what have you done to your self I asked ?, you left a guy who truly love you for a ritualist!. In my thought all that glitters are not gold, today you are no more, you have left the living to be among the dead may you rest in peace and not in pieces till we meet to depart no more.

In conclusion you don't actually know what you have until you have lost it, sometime we make mistakes that ends in sorrows without knowing the remark and damages it will make in our lives, contentment is a great sacrifices of which we must bear and hold on for better things to occur, not everything that glitters are gold it might be a snake and ones you use your hand to pick without being careful you might end up dead by just one bite, so learn to watch your back!.
