Day 192/365: Like A Child

Festus almost broke down in tears as he felt his daughter, Ada, stir from her short-lived nap. He had barely gotten enough time to celebrate her sleep and now she was awake.

« Daddy! Where are we now? », She asked for the thousandth time since they started their journey from Abia to Lagos.
Some of the other passengers chuckled as they heard her voice. She had no doubt been a delight since the journey started, singing and dancing on the aisles of the luxurious bus.
He almost rolled his eyes at his five-year-old terrorist but she looked so cute and tired and he couldn’t help but keep his eyes in place.
« We’re in Benin », he replied almost grudgingly.

« How long before we get home? », she asked in obvious fatigue. Ada always called everywhere home, all that mattered to her was four walls and a bed.
« Soon », he replied curtly, indicating that the conversation, especially her loud questions which generated chuckles from the passengers.

She seemed to get his message and kept to herself, staring out the window and singing tunes from her favorite cartoons.

Even though he felt bad, Festus chose this period to catch a nap before she finished sulking.

 » Daddy, Daddy » he heard just as he explored the fount of sleep.

« Ada, what?!!! », he answered in irritation, his voice, louder than normal.
She panicked, visibly shaken and tears brimming in her small eyes.
Still, she pointed outside the window, to a scrawny man begging. He was in tattered garments and looked like he had not eaten in decades.
« Daddy, please give the man money », she muttered.
He felt touched at the purity of her heart as he pulled her in for a hug.
He obliged her innocent request as did the other passengers who reached for their wallets and purses.
The beggar grinned as he sang thank you.
