BEFORE LOVE

EPISODE 4

What did you find I asked zack who just returned from the streets where he went to execute my assignment, boss she's no reach for a model, the information I gathered says she of 17 years old, she dropped out of school cos her mum is really sick and there fore can't afford to pay her school fees, sir they are suffering from a whole lot that's why had to take the job as a bar dancer just so they could feed and also buy her mum's medication.

What of her father or siblings were you able to get any information about them, I asked, rumours says that she has no siblings and no information was passed regarding her father. Sir I really feel sorry for that poor girl, I know what it feels like to be the one vested with the responsibilities of providing for the family lest more a.......enough I said, go get my phone I added and he left immediately, he knew better than to allow me repeat my self. I surely would help her, I would show her a new version of life she did never expected, I will give her a reason to smile once more she has suffered enough already.

I was helping mum with her medicine when we heard a knock on the door who could knocking on our door today, I know it's weird thinking in this direction but the truth is that no one cares about me and mum, no one cares if we have our break fast or dies in hunger, indeed a lonely world. I stood up to go check who's on the door after giving mum the last dose of her drugs. Who could be this gentle looking man, he seems to be in his late twenties, he's very tall just of my height, he's not quite skinny but he looks good, what could he want from our family, hope he knows we have nothing to offer. Good afternoon I greeted with a slight bow, good day hope am speaking with miss Nelly Green he asked wow his ascent is really nice not that it's better than mine, it shows his really educated. Yeah l replied, okay am Mr Mich from Brown's international High school he said, wow that rich kids school what's he doing here hope he knows i can't even afford to feed proper lest more afford the fees.

Okay to what do I owe this visit, I asked, well your name was submitted to our office this afternoon that you have been offered admission into our school in this bag contains your school outfit and everything you need to know about the school, you are advised to resume tomorrow to avoid missing more lectures he explained, I never wrote any scholarship exams so what are you talking about I asked in such a confused state. Well am as surprised as you are but like I told you it was from an unknown source miss, your school fees and every other fees you would be needing to pay has been cleared also, I would advise you take this opportunity as an avenue to complete your senior high school and if luck is on your side you will get admitted into college, our school gives scholarship to the top five best graduating students every year good bye young lady hoping to see you in school tomorrow thank you he said and left. He left me in shock, what's happening, am I dreaming I pinched my skin to confirm my suspicion, wow favour from an unknown source, should I take it or leave it?, no i can't I have waited for an opportunity to complete my education even if it's only senior high school it means a whole lot to me I will take it Yes I have to. Nelly who's at the door mum shouted from the room, I ran quickly to the room I don't wanna keep her suspicion high. mum you won't believe I just got admission into Brown's international high school I said on reaching the room, what, how, did you write any scholarship exam that I don't know of she asked, of course not mummy am as surprised as you are, mummy see the uniforms here oh no there's even a a school bag, socks and shoes for school I screamed out as soon as I opened the content in the bag, wow my daughter am happy for you but the question here's who's doing and to what is the person doing it for, also why is the person hiding him or her self. Mum I've taught of that too but what matters to me is that I would now be able to go to school.

I can't wait to see her in school tomorrow I would now see her every single day, I won't have to go to the bar just to see her but wait, what if she rejects the admission, would she? No I don't think so, well it only takes tomorrow to find out, I believe this night is gonna be a special one, am not gonna work today I don't want something that would spoil my mood tonight.

Finally am going back to school after waiting for so long, just wish I knew the good samaritan so I could appreciate him or her but I don't, neither ways I know the person's gonna remain blessed. Am so happy to be in school yeah I just arrived and right now I am so confused and excited which route do I go the building is so big, oh did l just say big no it can't be cos what am seeing here looks just like an estate of it's own. I was still wondering about when some one touched me from behind, it took me my last strength not to fall to the ground. Oh it's the young man that delivered the message yesterday at the house, is it Mr Mr... Mich, sorry for the stammering just trying to recall his name. Hi sorry I scared you he apologised, common is apologising, he came just at the right time, oh no problem it's fine just wondering which way to take I replied, you seem to be an early comer right? he asked, what's this man saying do he know what this means to me, I have lost hope of schooling and now from no were opportunity comes and he wants me to waste it never, yeah I replied.
