It is now 4 months and people moving on so let me forgive that drunkard in peace. One afternoon on Sunday June 19 2024, I borrowed a bicycle from a boy called John and ride from church to home. A boy gave me a bicycle told me that he will come later to get his bicycle back to his house. I traveled by riding the bicycle to my house. I left that bicycle and I went into my room and changed my clothes. After changing my clothes, I came out and wanted to ride down to a field where they played a rugby ball. Within a second, the bicycle is not moving, while I turn my head around and noticed drunkard pulled bicycle back. I didn't know where he come from, I told him please I want to go just leave me. Drunkard replied, Give my bicycle back to me. I replied, this bicycle belongs to John. He's waiting for me outside the gate. He force to claim the bicycle and I told him, if you need a cigarette I'll buy for you and I put my hand into the pocket and busy taking money out. He swing his fist and elbow removing my teeth. I was felt unconscious. Five people watching us doing this and confirm that bicycle is not belong to the drunkard. He just claim nothing but bicycle belongs to John. Next day I go to Police station put an OB report and Medical report as well. I informed my people about the issues but they're not concerning that matter. And lastly, I don't want to force people to do this and that for me so I forgive that drunkard because I don't have money to go by law as now everything is to do with Money.

It sounds like you went through a very difficult and upsetting situation. It’s unfortunate that you had to deal with violence over a bicycle that didn’t belong to the drunkard. It’s commendable that you chose to forgive him, especially when you felt that pursuing legal action would be financially burdensome.

If you're still feeling any lingering effects from the incident, physically or emotionally, it could be helpful to talk to someone about it, whether that’s a friend, family member, or a professional. Forgiveness can be a powerful choice for your own peace of mind, but it’s also important to ensure that you take care of yourself and seek support if you need it.

Remember that you have the right to feel safe and protected in your community, and it’s unfortunate that you didn’t receive the support you were hoping for from those around you. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, prioritize your safety first and don’t hesitate to reach out for help.
