Then surprisingly mr Paul looked at his brother saying “” I don’t really understand my brother do you mean you went to Canada all this years returning back without nothing? Is that even possible, I know you must be joking right?””
James looked at his brothers eyes and shade some real tears out of his eyes telling his brother that he had so much opportunities to become a great man while he was in Canada but so sad his friends gave him a lot of selfish advice telling him that the closest and fastest way of making lots of money in this country is by going into selling drugs like cocaines and lots more….
James told his brother saying “” i didn’t want to accept the offer crying but then so sad I was led to do it because I needed lots of cash very fast to become great once I returned back to South Africa not knowing it was going to lead to my downfall in life shouting out loud “” I got deported from the country which the Canadian government took everything I worked so hard for living me with nothing “” then his brother looked at him popping up his eyes, covering his mouth and said to him “” I still can’t believe this James honestly I’m so disappointed at you!, how could you do such a selfish act? What’s your problem…. I thought you moved to Canada to become a great man, why did you choose to live such a very dirty life ??””
James cried out loud to his brother saying “ my brother I’m so sorry for failing our family I never knew my selfish act would lead to this” then mr Paul said to him “” I don’t really know what to tell you right now because I’m so disappointed right now like why would you such a thing!!!! Didn’t you know you have wife and kids? I thought the plan was to work so hard over there and bring them over to Canada why did you do this to yourself “”!!
But yet James kept on shading lots of tears telling his brother that his so sorry for failing the family… then his brother mr Paul cheered him up and told him not to cry anymore, saying so what would you like me to help you with right now? Do you wish to start up a new life for yourself ? then his brother James said yes….
Then James brother Paul said to him “”since you had already sold the fuel station I gave you back then, will you love to take my old fuel station at the apapa village
then his brother James said “”no I can’t brother, that’s actually the smallest and unkept fuel stations you have Why don’t you just give me one of your big stations close to the beach in Cape Town where all the wealthy men with big cars comes around to buy fuel asking that’s the particular fuel station he wishes to get saying “” that one will be more perfect for him”” , also saying I don’t want my friends to laugh at me, you know I just returned back from Canada which I do deserve the best
Then his brother Paul looked at him and smiled saying to him “”I do really understand but already I’ve left all my popular stations under my sons name David, which is why I had to give you the one close to apapa village, besides it makes a lot of sells over there why don’t you just cool off and start up from somewhere haven’t I tried as a brother? I really do want to help as a brother James
Then James said to his brother “” okay since you have put all the valuable properties under your son David how about you give me the biggest fuel station in Cape Town close to the beach so I can manage it properly, I promise that once David grows up I will return back his property to him and treat him just like an uncle would do to his nephew
Then his brother Paul said to him “” I really wish I could but honestly I can’t, I already signed the documents with my lawyer for my valuable properties to be granted to my son David which I can’t change it anymore please try to understand James I still love you as a brother which is why I’m giving you this offer….
Then James angrily jumped up shouting at his elder brother Paul saying”” after all we’ve been through in the past and yet this is how you treat me? I thought we are supposed to be brothers why would you want to break our relationship just because of your son!! Why!!
Mr Paul stood up shouting you can’t walk into my house and insult my family, I tolerated this back in the past when you thought my wife wasn’t going to give birth and here you go again!!!? Was I the one who told you to go into drug dealing back in Canada? Haven’t I given you a fuel station in the past which you sold it? And yet I even tried to offer you another one but simply because is close to a village and yet you rejected it… what kind of a brother are you???? What a jealous human being you are….!!!!!
Then James looked at him and said I regret the day I ever called you my brother… don’t worry I will deal with you, then while he was shouting out loud Paul’s wife Miriam ran out asking what the problem was then James looked at her and angrily went out…. Then mr Paul locked the door and took her wife upstairs to go explain everything that happened….
Then when mr Paul had explained all this to his wife, she cried and said to her husband I never knew your brother has always had this great hatred on me, but why ? What did I ever do to deserve all this hatred? Then miriams husband looked at his wife and said to her don’t worry my love I will talk to him first thing in the morning, now let’s get some rest okay! Then he gently kissed his wife and the both slept happily together

Mr Paul said to him “” hello my lovely brother why have you been ignoring my calls”” Paul spoke to him on a gentle tone, his brother James replied”” just go straight to the point and tell me why you called please I’m not in a good mood this morning”” then his elder brother paul said to him are you still angry? I thought we already talked about this issue why are you still behaving this weird…?

Paul said”” you are becoming too weird lately my brother, what’s come over you? Why the sudden hatred and jealousy toward me James? I thought I already promised to offer you one of my stations in apapa village to manage why you being so ungrateful my brother, besides the fuel station in apapa sells well too!!!
James said “” no no no!!! I can’t Paul, I deserve even more, what do you even think my friends will think of me if I turn out to have such a local fuel station, don’t you get the word I just returned back from Canada which I deserve to be great and not belittled? If you don’t want to offer me the big fuel station in Cape Town city close to the beach then you forget about it!!!
Paul said”” you are so ungrateful James how could you be this awkward filled up with hatred, jealousy and selfishness, well I will tell you something I’ve tried my best for you but since your big eyes still wants what you never worked for then forget about everything, I no longer care anymore besides I was never the one who told you to go into drug dealing that made you got deported from Canada so live your life the way you want it, I no longer care…!!
Then while on call James said”” I will never forget this and I promise you something “”you will never live to see your son great in life for taking what rightfully belongs to me and giving it to a little boy who never helped you work out what you are today!!! You will definitely regret this Paul I promise you then turned off the phone call
Once Paul had already finished up the call with his brother, mr Paul’s wife miriam walked into the sitting room and held her husbands hands telling him “” honey I heard everything that happened and you know what? Please don’t get worried a lot okay?
You’ve tried alot for your brother to make him realize you still care but so sad his so ungrateful forgetting about everything you did for him and his family in the past, believe me honey you are very strong, brave and kind my husband which no one can bring you down not even your brother okay? Now come and have your breakfast darling, I prepared your best dish this morning fried eggs, with tea, sliced bread mixed with friend fish and bananas, I’m sure you love it darling right?

Then while paul was having breakfast he asked for his son which his wife said “” I’m getting him dressed up for school, you know his taking his exams today my love which I have to prepare him immediately so he will meet up with the school bus, then paul said okay my love and continued eating having thoughts of his brother James in mind
When David had already finished dressing up for school then his mother took him to the school bus giving him a peck on his face telling him make me proud my boy, I promise I and daddy will get you a new bicycle once you pass okay? Then young David smiled and said mummy are you serious!!!! His mum answered yes my son then David happily rejoiced assuring his mum that he will definitely make them proud waved at his mum saying goodbye heading straight to the school bus
After Miriam had already dropped little David at the school bus then she got back home and met her loving husband eating and asking him about his brother if he was able to talk sense into his young brother but then paul replied “” I did all I could but my brother James always thinks he can control me, honey can you imagine his threatening me to give him the biggest fuel stations in Cape Town close to the beach! A station I had already put my sons name to take over once his of age….
Miriam said”” omg are you serious?!! Why would he say such a thing, why all the sudden jealousy from a man you call your blood brother, I hate to say this but tell me honey are you sure James is really your blood brother? Just asking because if truly he is he won’t be going this far to an extent of threatening you for a property he never worked for to an extent of even bringing our child David to this matter, I feel so disappointed, I just wish this can be sorted out because this really gets me worried a-lot my love, you both are supposed to be one for crying out loud!!!!
Paul said” Baby but you know I tried my best in talking sense into him but yet he kept on saying trash and definitely I would never give him what he asked for because he was never there when I was struggling, I call him my brother but he can never reap where he did not sow, I gave him lots of opportunities in life, gave him his first fuel station but then he sold it and left to Canada and go messed his life up joining a drug gang and here he is back in South Africa…
He should be so ashamed of himself, believe me honey I can’t go much further with this matter I have a-lot in mind to sort out right now, I will never allow a boy I made to threaten me all in the name of brother, you can imagine what he even told me that I will regret everything….
But I always tell myself that who God has blessed no man can curse, so there’s nothing to worry about my love James is my junior brother which I know the best way to handle him, so just relax okay?
I need to prepare for a meeting darling cause I got a call from my co- fuel station owners that we will be having a board meeting consigning the price of fuel so once I return back we will talk about this okay?
