CHRONICLE OF A MARRIED MAN

There is a popular saying that a person in detention does not know the effort of those out there.

A close friend was locked up recently for an offence he alleged that he did not commit. He had been there for some days before his wife told me. 

Her excuse was that he said she should. it tell his friends, also, she thought she could handle it since she has some relatives who are well connected. She said she also told his relatives but their collective efforts did not yield results and so she decided to call his friends too. I spoke with him through his wife and promised him to do all I can to secure his release, I also told him. that I just heard of his predicament that day.

I went into action, called all the people I know in high places. I called my brother who is a top military officer too. Within two days, he was released. We didn't know exactly who effected the release.

When his wife told me, I called him to rejoice with him but what he said shocked me. Instead of him to thank me and other friends for our efforts, he told me that his wife really tried for him and that she was the one that secured his release. He went on to shower priases on her and told me that if not for her, he would rot in detention as he does not have any other person.

I was dumbfounded. I quickly ended the call. Later, when I regained the use of my mouth, I called him and told him all the strings I pulled, I also told him that other friends tried too and that his release may have come from one of us.

 I told him to call and thank everyone no matter where his release came from.

 Stella and bvs, this man cussed me out very well. He called me useless and warned me never to call him again. Then blocked me.
I'm still pained.
