So I usually give my neighbor's son, Jeremy, a lift to school whenever I am going to work. He knows I leave home by 7 so by 6:30 he is at my gate waiting for me to take him to school.
He is always on time and never comes late. I felt the mother was helping him keep to time as well but I never asked. Me and her has never spoken or talked before. I rarely see her because she leaves home as early as 6 am and returns late at night.
Something bothered me.
Anytime I drop Jeremy at school, he says thank you, Dad embraces me and runs off.
Haa!
I felt it was strange. I wondered why he called me dad instead of Uncle.
So I asked him one time while taking him to school.
"How about your daddy?"
"I don't know him. Mum says he is somewhere and she doesn't know where."
"So why do you call me daddy when I drop you off in school."
"Well because I see you as my daddy. In my school, everyone's dad drops them off at school. And you drop me off at school too."
I smiled.
I understood where the dad thing was coming from.
On Friday, while driving him to school I noticed he was not happy. He was very quiet all through the ride. I asked him what the problem was and he told me.
"Our school asked our parents to come for an important meeting on Monday. Mummy said she will not be able to come because she will be busy in Monday."
"Is that why you are sad?"
He nodded his head.
"Everyone father and mother will come. My mother will not be there."
I asked him to cheer up.
On Monday morning, after I dropped him off at school. He came down and said bye Dad.
I noticed he wasn't happy.
I drove off and by 9am I decided to return to the school to attend the meeting.
When his mates saw me, someone shouted.
"Jeremy, see your daddy. He shouted and ran to embrace me."
He held my hands and took me to where the meeting was being held.
After the meeting, I left.
He was very happy I showed up. I could see the pride in his face.
This morning, I waited for Jeremy and didn't see him. I went to his house and was told he had gone to school.
This is the first time in 2 months he is going without me.
I am just worried.
Really worried.
My name is Eze chibuzo and I am the best at what I do.
