Edward made a decision that cost the life of his wife and second child.
Chapter 1 The Regret
On a scorching afternoon, Edward sat on the desert soil.
Stared hopelessly at his three kids.
He was void of ideas, he doesn't know what to do neither can he vent his anger. He was filled with bitterness, he wished he could see his friend who brainwashed him to venture on this journey.
"What have I done!, he exclaimed.
"I shouldn't have brought my kids along, why didn't I make enquiries? Why did I trust my friend? I could have just gotten the tickets myself, why didn't I leave my wife and kids in Libya?
I can bring them to wherever I am after have found a foothold, Am so stupid".
Edward was doing well in Libya, he owned a mechanic shop and his wife was a teacher. Aside from the war that do happen once in a while, he had no other concern until his friend told him about the available opportunity.
He has always wished to move to any European country.
So, when the opportunity presented itself, he sold off his shop to someone else, set some money aside for the plane ticket, paid for the bus ticket and got some necessary stuffs.
The plan was that they will travel to Tunisia via a bus, from Tunisia, they will board a plane to Germany because Edward has a relative in Germany. Though Germany wasn't his bus stop, but as long as he and his family can get to Germany first the rest would be a piece of cake.
His friend requested for their passports, to buy them the bus tickets, unknowing to Edward it was just a show.
Truly they boarded a bus at the centre of Tripoli which is in Medina but they alighted at an unknown place where they were picked up by a driver, driving a Hilux along with other passengers.
