Real Touching Life Issues : Young Graduate Tells Life's Ordeal

My issue began One day, when we were having morning devotion, my father's phone rang and he hurriedly answered the caller, saying he was in a  important meeting with his family then hung up.

After the devotion, as I was about entering my room,I saw my elder sister sneaking out of my father's room and she motioned on me quickly to come and see, I followed her, as I was eagered to hear girls gossip which I regret I ever did.

I enter into the room with her and she brought out my father's phone  trying to point out to me, that she had a suspicion that the call my father received during the devotion  was a woman he is having extra-marital affair with, or why will someone call so early and the way he responded, I tried to clear it away when she suggested that we use her number to dial the person’s number which we did, immediately we type the number it brought out the name of her best friend Chika. We both nodded our heads in disbelief  as it was just so impossible because I was deeply in love with the girl (Chika) and have been asking her out for more than two years which she always turned me down saying she is too young for a relationship, also my mother loves this girl so much she sees her like her third daughter, so to me this was a mistake and also this is my sister's childhood friend. 

 As I was pondering on the impossibilities involved, My elder sister out of shocked then suggested that we tried to use my dad's phone to make the call to see if it was something irrelevant and unsuspicious, as we dialed the number she picked while I and my sister remained mute to listen.She picked up the call and said 

"Honey,I'm sorry I called so early,couldn't sleep all through the night , was just thinking of you,I hope you are not angry with me, sweetie, answer me nau" out of shocked we hung the phone.

Drop the phone in my father's room and headed to this girl house and warned her life never to step her foot in that house and if we see her  close to my father we will disgrace her  publicly, for goodness sake my father is 56 years old and you're 18 years old, I even tried to persuade her that I will forgive her and would take care of her, forgetting everything because I was so in love with this girl, I tried to convince her that my father is too

old for her and she should open her eyes and not waste her life.

In the evening my father angrily entered the house, summoned on  me and my sister to his front and punished us, ensuring my mother was ignorant of everything and warned us to stay away from his girl or we will see his red eye and his other side, then sent my sister away, he then looked into my eye wickedly like he never gave birth to me and laughed so loud ,warned me thoroughly not to step on his feet thinking I would get away so easily and discharged me.

Disregarding his words because I saw it as an harmless words  as he is my father, I moved on with my life.

My father stopped sponsoring my education, enrolled my younger brother for Waec and Jamb while he denied me all access to funds , he always claim that there is no money, when I notice that he did not want to help me out, I decided to work at all means to go further with my education.

 After enrolling myself in Jamb and PostUme , I gained admission into University  to read  Accounting while my brother whom he sponsored didn’t met the cutoff mark of Jamb.

What surprised me was the sadness on his face when he heard I have gained admission through my mom. He tried to control himself but could not hide his jealousy and anger.

I struggle through my first year and second year in the University as he still refuses to help me with money, my mother struggled to ensure that  I went to school and not drop out.

At the end of the Second Semester in my second year, I went home for short break, when I learnt that the landlord had given us quick notice and my father was laid off from his work and cannot afford the rent.

 I moved with pity tried to let go of the past and stand by him because he is still my father.

As we were moving out of the house into my mother's shop, we sold all the chairs and furnitures because the shop was a tiny space that could only allow our heads and not our properties, I stumble on  a payment receipt my father made for Chika’s admission into Madonna University dated two days ago.

I was shocked to see that as we are going through hell,this man that cannot feed his own home is sending a small girl to university who is not his blood when his own daughter had to quickly get married in order to hide the family's shame and her head.

I went off in anger to confront him and threathen to expose him to my mum and everyone that must hear this , as soon as he heard it he began cursing, tapping the ground and threatening to destroy me

I ignored all his words.

On the last night in the house I was forced awake by a strong hands pressing my chest down and mummings, only to wake up and saw my father on top of me with his two hands on my chest close  to my heart he was speaking out some words , immediately he saw I was awake he jumped down and said he was just praying for me to change and be a better person in life but what was strange was the look on his eyes and the black substance on me and in his hands.

 I couldn’t sleep, I just mentioned a small prayer because I was very weak as I doze off while praying.

But I noticed that since that day my father has been so happy and I over heard him bragging to his friends that I am just going to school to waste my time that nothing will come out of it.

I still ignore this but was internally disturbed as that incident couldn’t just clear off my brain and I tried to stay off his way since then.

The issue is that I have graduated from  school for four years now, but no job.Something always terrific always happen any time I'm to go for an important interview.

I almost commited sucide when my father called me that can't I see things for myself, I should stop parading that worthless Cv and go and do bricklayer's work.

I cried and begged him  to undo what ever he had done,  but this old wizard didn't even deny doing something bad that fateful and unforgettable night but he refused bluntly telling me that I want him to remove the curse so that I can become rich and snatch his lover from him.Whatttt?

I'm just so confused as I have told him that I no longer have interest in his girl but he insist that I'm lying.
