AFTER

Thirty six years passed and Kaleb came out of Jail as quite an old man. He was about 54 years by then.


His jeans were tattered unfashionably. His facial hairs overgrown and nasty. He was very thin and wretched.


He went home and was told his mother died two years back.Tears flowed as he thought of her.


He had to start life from scratch. What could he possibly do at that old age?He roamed in search of a job as a gardener. Since he was quite skilled at that.


He got a job at a very lavish looking office. Little did he know that the office belonged to his friend turned enemy who used to be a renowned superstar.
The longer he worked there the more information he got to know about what happened while he was away. He never saw John though.


"Our boss used to be a great superstar back in the day." One of the workers praised.
'Some of his songs which are still played today are "dancing in the rain" and "my amazing muse".


Kaleb realized that most of the songs were his original songs."I see,that's wonderful" he managed to say.


"Oh and you should see his wife,Madam Laila,she's so pretty and smart,she's a doctor." The man continued.


"His wife?Laila?!" Kaleb exclaimed."Yes that's her name and they have five children.Such an adorable family.Is there a problem?You look shocked." The man asked.


"No no,no problem at all,I have to leave. Please tell your boss that Kaleb Rockson has resigned and that congratulations on his marriage,but none of his kids will be prosperous and that's a curse."


He left the worker in astonishment.


As he walked home alone,sad and exhausted,he thought,what was his fault in this world?All he wanted was to end his misery by becoming a famous superstar. Was that too much to ask?
