so do you think we have always lived  in this beautiful and expensive house

yes of course well as far as I  remember we have always lived here

then you need to hear this story pay attention

I want to talk to you about a very sad event in  my life something that I could never forget never  

it's hard for me to tell this  story but I'm sure you must know it

it happened many years ago  

I had told you before that my parents  got divorced when I was only a child  

I was 10 years old the separation of my parents  affected me a lot but not in the way you think

I mean I was not sad because my parents got  divorced they had been fighting too much and  

I had to see that every day my siblings and I had  to watch them fight all the time it was horrible

that's why when they decided  to get divorced I was not sad  

but what really affected me was the fact that  my brothers and my sister and I had to separate  

two of us could go with my father  and the other two with my mom

I was very close to them we grew up together  we always played together and also cry together  

when my parents fought I was happy being with them  that's why it affected me a lot when we went apart

anyway my father stayed in my house with my sister  and my younger brother and my older brother and I  

went with my mom to live to a different place  we rented a room in one of my mom's friend

but we didn't have much money I remember my  mom used to pay 50 dollars a month or that  

room it was more like a favor I think because the  owner of the house was one of her best friends

soon we have to move to a different place because  that house was too small for the three of us  

we were growing up and we need  a room for me and my brother  

so we moved to another house  this time it was bigger

but we could only stay there for a year because  after that the house was going to be sold well if  

there for a year and then we could take a piece of  a land near there many poor people used to do that

it was a group of poor people living in that  place it was like a mountain there we had to  

sleep on the floor at first because we didn't have  a bed or furniture we were really poor remember

we had to live there in a very small place with  four walls without a bed or furniture we didn't  

even have a kitchen or a stove so we had to buy  food from a place which sold food at a low price

I remember it cost one dollar soup main dish and  fruit it was not delicious but at least we could  

eat something we had to go there every day on  time otherwise they could leave us without food

anyway we had many shortcomings but we were happy  I mean I had my brother by my side and I used to  

visit my other siblings every week it was not the  same but at least we could play together sometimes  

while we were living in that mountain  my brother and I made a lot of friends  

we used to play together all the time every day  

my mom used to get mad at us because  we stayed out playing until night

but we were happy anyway soon the side directive  I mean the people who were like the presidents  

of the town where we were living had to make  an inspection they had to check some things

they had some rules that we had to abide by if  we wanted to live there the main rule was that  

if you wanted to live there you wouldn't have to  have another house or your own house you get it

my mom didn't have her own house the other house  where we used to live was my father's and he  

stayed there he was living there so I thought  now we are not going to have any problem right

so we did not care about that matter my mom used  to sell medicinal herbs natural things to heal  

people or help them with some sicknesses she used  to work in the market a little far from our house

we had to help her every day I remember we used  to wake up very early every day we woke up at  

four in the morning because we had to go with her  to buy some products to sell four in the morning

so we used to take torrents I mean My Brother and  Me one day my brother and the next day I was in  

church of going with my mom to buy those things  it was very tiring but we had to do it anyway

our routine was in the morning we had to  help my mom with the products she used  

to sell in the afternoon we went  to the school and in the evenings  

we had a little time to play with our friends

one day I came back from a school I  remember that day very clearly it was Friday  

I got to my mom's little store  and she was crying I asked her  

why are you crying what happened  tell me but she didn't answer

then she told me we have to go to the house  right now come with me let's go I didn't know  

what was happening I just told her okay let's  go but calm down tell me what's going on here

she didn't answer she just told me to hurry so  we went running to our house my mom was crying  

all the way home I just wanted to know what  was happening but she didn't tell me anything

when we got to our home I got it I understood  what had happened my house our home was not  

there anymore it had disappeared there was only  a rubble where our house was supposed to be

I was shocked I just stood there without saying  a word it turns out that we had been evicted  

they the leaders have just destroyed our  house and it was all my father's fault

these leaders had gone to  visit my father to his house  

there they asked him about my mother  and he said that she was still living  

there with him and that that was still her  house too because they were still married

my mother collapsed and broke down  in tears where our house used to  

be I was there consoling her hugging her  telling her everything was gonna be fine  

of course everything was a mess at that moment

after that we just moved to my father's house  my mother took Revenge by throwing him out  

of his house that's what he deserved  it was too mean to my mother and us  

but that's another story  I'll tell you some other time

the thing is that we haven't always lived in a  beautiful house like this we have to go through  

difficult times get this house to buy this  house we had to work hard and do many things

that was very interesting I want to  know how you came to buy this house

sure I can tell you but that would have to  be in the next video that's all for now I
