The Family Secret

The four friends sat in stunned silence, trying to process the revelation that they were brothers.

“How is this possible?” Korede asked finally, his voice shaking with emotion.

Mr. Johnson smiled. “As I said, it’s a long story. But I’ll try to give you the short version.”

He leaned back in his chair and began to explain.

“Your parents, the ones who adopted you, were all friends. They were part of a tight-knit community that believed in the importance of family and friendship.”

Ayo’s eyes widened. “So, our parents knew each other?”

Mr. Johnson nodded. “Yes, they did. And they made a pact to raise their children together, as a family.”

Lekan’s eyes narrowed. “But why did they separate us?”

Mr. Johnson’s expression turned somber. “That’s a complicated question. Let’s just say that there were circumstances beyond their control that forced them to make a difficult decision.”

Tunde’s face was scrunched up in thought. “I don’t understand. What circumstances?”

Mr. Johnson hesitated before speaking. “I think it’s time I showed you something.”

He pressed a button on his desk, and a large screen behind him flickered to life.

The four friends gasped as they saw a video of their parents, smiling and happy, with four baby boys in their arms.

“This is us?” Korede asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

Mr. Johnson nodded. “Yes, it is. And this is just the beginning of the story.”

The four friends sat in stunned silence, watching as the video revealed a shocking family secret that would change their lives forever.
