Chapter Nine

"Mum. Mum" screamed Sarah in excitement as she dashed into the living room. "What's it" asked Sarah's mother who was watching a show on TV. "I've gotten a job. The pay is #380,000.

"When are you resuming work" asked Mrs Smith. "On Monday" replied Sarah.

On Monday, Sarah resumed work. She was a bit nervous on her first day but at close of work that day, she got familiar with one of the doctors whose name was Doctor Stella.

Doctor Stella was a widow with three children. She lost her husband years ago. She became so helpful and nice to people as if her husband was the hindrance to her kindness and humility.

Out of all the doctors Sarah met, Doctor Stella was the only person her mind went with.

"Our 27-years old doctor. Doctor Sarah, how was work today" asked Mrs Smith staring unflinching at the TV as soon as Sarah came in.

"It was fine mom. Erm... I have resolved in my mind that after I receive my first salary, I want to get my own house" said Sarah dropping her handbag on the table and sitting beside her mother.

"That's a great one, dear. Which type of house is it" asked Mrs Smith caring.

"A bungalow. It is #300,000 including damages fee. What do you think? It's on the fair side, right" asked Sarah.

"Yes, it is, dear. When will you relocate" asked Mrs Smith. "When I receive my salary, I'll pay for it. I will be happy if you can lend me some money to buy electronics and other household utensils. I'll pay back as soon as I get my salary" said Sarah pleading.

"Ok. I will give you the money. You don't need to refund it. You can tell your dad. He's in" said Mrs Smith smiling at her daughter.

"Ok, ma" replied Miss Smith as she went in to inform her dad.
