It is better imagined than experienced, what would have been the fate of Frank Limbo without his looks. Frank Limbo, popularly known and called by his friends as Frankie is a teenager who just graduated from high school, born into the family of Mr & Mrs Jack Limbo, a very small family who resides in one of the countryside. Growing up as a kid was not fair to Frank because his parents could barely afford all he needed for him as a kid so he found himself struggling everyday to get through life.
He is believed by many to be a replica of a god that existed before man as he has got all the attributes of a perfect man according to ladies who admire him. Frank is tall, muscular, has blue eyes, broad chest, a round face and succulent lips which every lady dreams of having a taste of. By the time he was 17 yrs old and rounding up his high school, he has already had older ladies flirting with him and most times, gifting him and each he tells his mom about the attention he was getting from the ladies, she would always advise him against it telling him that it is morally wrong to have anything to do with a lady at his age so Frank had always kept to his mother's advices and even at school, he had girls fighting over him but because he was well brought up, he barely acknowledged them and as a result, pays little or no attention to them because he was so focused and determined on liberating his family from poverty. At age 18, he had already spent a year at home with no plans of him getting into college due to lack of finance from his parents and at this point, he felt he was old enough to fend for himself and that was how it all started.
While at home, he has spent a lot of time in his room pondering over life and how he could be of help to himself and his family. After a long thought, he finally decides to make a suggestion to his mother about going to the city to live with her aunty who happens to be her mom's younger sister. Now, there was a beam of smile on his face knowing fully well that his decision to move to the city would be of great help to his family. Finally, Frank decides to let the cat out of the bag by discussing his idea of going to the city with his mom.
In the sitting room, he walked up to his mom.
Frank- hello Mom
Mrs Limbo- hey Frankie! The mother replied
Frank- Mom I need to talk to you about something, it's been bothering me for sometime now and I just felt I should let you know.
Mrs Limbo- okay! Am listening boy
Frank- Mom! I am 18 already but no plans of me getting into college so I was thinking of traveling to the city to spend some time with aunty Sherri. Maybe I can get something done over there and possibly help out at home just to relieve you and Dad a bit.
Mrs Limbo- I don't think your father will approve of it because you're too young to go out there
Frank- Come on Mom! I am 18 now and no longer a baby, I can take care of myself
Mrs Limbo- it's not a bad idea but…..
Frank- Come on Mom! Please I can do this and you and Dad have to stop treating me like a baby
Mrs Limbo- Okay boy, have heard you but have got to talk this over with your dad and if he agrees, we'll put a call across to aunty Sherri so you can go spend some time with her but for now your request is pending till your dad gets home okay?
Frank- Alright Mom but you've got to help me on this, you know dad could be difficult at times.
Mrs Limbo- I will see what I can do okay
Frank- Alright Mom. Love sooooo much.
While in his room, he knelt down and started praying that it would work out because he was desperate to help his parents and he knew moving to the city was the only way he could do that.
It was already 4:30pm in the evening and it was time for him to go for his volleyball training. Just like his looks, Frank is an athlete and a lover of sport and plays volleyball. He could play all day without remembering that he didn't have anything to eat, he was determined to be a professional but there was not much support for him growing up in the countryside.
It took 2 days for Mrs Limbo to convince her husband to allow their son to spend some time with aunty Sherri in the city.
