Once upon a time there was a man named Thabo in the busy city of Johannesburg. He was a kind and hardworking man with a passion for numbers and a keen eye for detail. Thabo worked at a prominent accounting firm, where he spent most of his days poring over financial reports and spreadsheets. Little did he know that his life would take an unexpected turn.

One morning Thabo entered the office, his eyes met those of a beautiful woman named Lerato. Lerato was a lively and confident woman who works in the marketing department of the same company. Her smile was like the sunshine shining through the office and Thabo was immidiately attracted to her.

Days turned to weeks, as Thabo and Lerato spent more and more time together. They worked together on projects, shared lunch breaks, and they could engage in conversations that range from work-related matters to their personal dreams and aspirations. The bond between them grew stronger and they soon realized they were in love.

However, life has its twists and turns. One day, due to unforeseen circumstances, Thabo lost his job at an accounting firm. He was devastated that he had put so much time and effort into his career. He felt he had lost part of his identity and purpose in life. Thabo struggled to cope with the sudden change and the feeling of inadequacy that comes with it.

Despite Thabo's difficulties, Lerato continued to work at the company. She was the friend Thabo needed during his difficult time, but as the weeks turned to months, doubts began to well up within him. He felt the weight of responsibility on his shoulders and began to wonder if their relationship could survive this challenge.

Amidst Thabo's emotional turmoil, he learnt that Lerato had started dating someone else. The news hit him like a slap. He felt he had lost not only his job but also the person he loved the most. A combination of job loss, heartbreak, and feelings of hopelessness brought Thabo to the breaking point.

One fateful night, crushed by his pain and unable to see any way out, Thabo makes a tragic decision. He decided to end his own life believing that the pain would finally stop and he could escape the darkness that enveloped him.

The news of Thabo's death shocked the office, as well as his friends and family. Those who knew him felt deep sadness and regret and wondered if there was anything they could do to help him through his hardships.

Lerato was devastated by the loss of Thabo. She felt guilty for moving on with his life while he was struggling and wishes she was there for him in a different way. She realized the importance of supporting our loved ones, especially in their darkest times.

Thabo's story was heartbreaking reminder of the impact life's challenges can have on a person's mental and emotional wellbeing. It emphasizes the importance of reaching out and supporting those who may be struggling, and the importance of nurturing the connections and relationships that can help us weather the worst of storms.
