Matilda is a cool, decent and a girl of good character.She is loved by everyone in her school ,both the teachers,students and also non teaching staffs.
She is the pride of her mother who is a widow. Her father was such a good father and respect's his children and wife but has life will have it ,he passed away due to a fatal accident he had when he was coming from work on a faithful day.
Mr Gideon who was a father of three children was the manager of a petrol station where he got the finances to meet the needs of his family and make them live a comfortable and moderate living standard to fit in to the society. He was doing fine in his work and was loved by his workers and colleagues ,But unfortunately something tragic happened one day on his way back from work.He had a very stressful day at work and was tired too.So he decided to hang around and have fun with his friends , just to chill out the stress before going home, they went to a bar to get drinks and have fun,His friends though some of them are married ,some other aren't married . But they are all womanizers . One will wonder how Mr Gideon could keep such kind of friends , because he was a man of dignity and very respectful . You won't have expected him to womanize,but this faithful day all his friends who were womanizers came with ladies and all of them were having fun together.They were drinking and dancing , Mr Gideon too was drinking but made mistake of drinking more then he ought to. He was not an heavy drinker but today he could not control himself drunk to some level and started misbehaving. But his friends who ought to stop him were not helping matters they gave him more and also sent a lady to him to be with him , if it was that Mr Gideon was in his senses he would have declined but he was already drunk . So after all that like around 11pm . Mr Gideon who was still under the influence of alcohol decided to go home because he did not like sleeping outside his home. His drunk friends too couldn't tell him not to because they were all not in their senses .
Mr Gideon hopped into his car and kicked start the engine , he is eye was dizzy and he couldn't really control him self . He was driving at an high speed and could not control the steering wheel of the car. Suddenly an heavy truck from the side sped pass him , he could not control the vehicle so he crashed into the truck . He lost conscience immediately and on that same spot he gave up the ghost .
Mr Gideon death actually hurt many people . It was great loss to the family of Gideon , most especially Matilda.
Matilda was the favourite of her father and she would miss him alot .
After the death of Mr Gideon,Michael the first son of the Gideon's. Was a carbon copy of his father . He was cool, caring and loving.

Matilda could not get over the death of her father , she loved him so dearly and never loved anyone more than she love her father not even her mother . There was a soul tie between her and her father since her childhood .
The head prefect girl of a model school just getting off the lost of her dear father was left with a crack on her heart . She became emotional and always singing to her self but all this did not affect her academic and school activities she was still doing just fine .
