AM I RICH?

Everyone wants to be rich at some point in life and everyone desires to find the treasure in life where everything is just is to get as breathing but not many people get to the destination, the road to wealth has a lot of dirt and potholes for the faint of heart it makes you wanna quit and yet a few has gotten to the dream land, how I want that freedom. I once asked my father what it means to be rich, what is the benefit, how I that feeling? is itt a place to wanna be? my father said "Being rich depends on how you gat there, their those they weren't right and the never sleep with peace, there those who worked hard and never slept and they achieved it and after that they don't know the peace of relaxing anymore, there those who gat there through transportation 'inheritance' who don't know the value and lack morale which makes there sleep not that peaceful and there their as who sleep peaceful, have loving family, friends, loving jobs and we are just fine. so listen here my son everyone is rich and everyone is poor it depends on what you have or what you don't so if your chasing anything decide where you wanna be." and that is when my heart wanted it all I wanted the peace and the everything who said it was hard to get it none the less I couldn't listen or settle for an 'alright life'. when I was 14 that's when I decided to start my everlasting money kingdom make money for and my name I wanted the respect I saw that comes with money to stay in my generations name, don't care if my son or their sons after will make it go away all I knew is that I will live a life with luxury and peace who would tell me otherwise. fast forward to 4 years later and my life hasn't changed a thing am still a child and jobs weren't as easy getting as I thought am nearly 18 and my plan is failing terribly on my face as I watched all the crashed dreams and hopes until I met this lady "Zafar is the name, am a writer looking for new talents unfound talents would you by any chance be a writer?" its like she's an angel sent from heaven to be honest, in my life have never thought about writing a book apart from school essays I had nothing creative in my bones but here is a chance here is my door to greatness, yes it will take time but its something more than nothing in my response "YES! yes I am a writer it's like sent to me was just giving up on being one" straight down I knew it was a lie heaven's forgive me but ain't letting this one go. I gave her my number and she told me to expect a call from her within a couple of weeks after some business trip and whatever, that day I was all over the internet reading everything there is to know on being a writer am a book reader and am thinking of writing oooh help me God! read a lot according to me and I saw a familiar word 'movie' wait a minute all the movies I see there written and acted out? that doesn't sound hard how is that hard? I have watched a lot of movies to be able to write one its as simple as riding a bike and now am focusing on what its like to writing a movie which in my surprise was harder that it seemed though I didn't give up this thing looks promising and nothing has been in the last past 4 years so am giving it my energy. Days passed as weeks went by came a month then 2 as am still waiting for my h****n to find her way to me, am still not letting this go and I'll learn this till she comes back. did my research as still as am studying still in junior high and each day I came out of school am with novels, ebooks everything in my life became books and my parents noticed the change around, but the thing is am always with books and my grades seems not to be going up am as just as they left me they didn't as a thing but I would over here them each time I brought a paper home from school, I started loosing hop as time went by 4 months down the line and she has never called back. It was on the 12th of October on a very hectic afternoon when I saw a non saved number calling in my mind this were just those con men who do this kind of things I wasn't to pick up but I wanted to have some fun if it were them so I picked the call and the voice of a tender lady with a baby voice called out my name "Am I speaking with Lance?" I got confused and just kept quiet and went on a faze for a while then after a couple of 'can you hear me?' from the lady I answered back in a very akward manner "It is he" which I regretted as soon as it came out of my mouth, she introduced herself and we continued on telling me why and when she wants I writer, it seemed I was still in luck as she spit out the magical words out "I want a script writer" my heart raced and I got emotional all of a sudden as I just sat there and said "I have an unfinished movie script right now I can send you a copy" all I heard the next was if I would know that name I am already hired as if its a small about of people who knows what's that is ,she told me to send her a copy and my bank or anyway I want to be receiving some money from her and I just told her I do mobile banking, gave her my details and sent her the copy as just that all that has happened it seemed like a dream to me just sat up and prayed I wasn't dreaming. later that evening as we were having dinner was just bored there listening to my day trying so hard to impress all of us with how he loves his job as a plumber and how it pays everything in that house and they argued with my mother saying her saloon job was better and 'not stinky' as my dad's and we all were just there playing along. My phone buzzed on the table and there was a no phone policy while having family time at the dinner time so I ignored but it wouldn't stop it was a message after another until it cut my dad off and he angrily told me to read those messages and silence it. I took my phone from the table and looked through the messages and it was Zafar who emailed me my movie back but it was done it was completed but I never did, with thousands of messages telling me she loved it and one of the messages came as "loved it sold it" another one followed "Look forward to another one" the third one made me feel as if the world and my mind were playing tricks on me it read like this "You have received 100,000 usd from Zafar" I couldn't believe my eyes went direct to my account and took a look at my account and it was there, I quickly excused myself and went to the nearest shop just to make sure it wasn't just a fake bought myself just a dozen soda bottles and tried to pay them off and it worked, I quickly called Zafar and she was as excited as I was she had news as like the guy she sold to needed 2 others and we should split the work it was okay and I was down for it, if just one got me a hundred grands I want more. Went back home with my sod cans and put some in the fridge and took some with me it work night, I did not sleep that whole week as of we were on a school break and it gave me more time to focus on my newly found jobs only to find in that week how on writing a book or movie is difficult by the end of 2 weeks I had a finished movie and 15 others unfinished....it was hectic sent it to my boss who wasn't in a hurry with me and at least now I can sleep peaceful knowing I got no ones job left unattended to, as of waking up around late afternoon went out to spend the money I had recently gained and had just sodas with it I now wanted to get myself a working tool a laptop a good phone and a good wi-fi connection there one my dad paid for was limited now I wanted to get an unlimited for just 100 bucks money wasn't a problem to me now this was my first reason on wanting money to spend it on me, came later home hiding my things and just thank God nobody was around after all that mission impossible stuff I just pulled out there. Night time felt and went to dinner as usual and after we had dinner we went into silence and that day we were all on our phones nobody had nothing to say only for my elder brother to start off "We won't just be like this I gat to ask now...." we all looked at him as if saying 'bro shut up' but it was now too late we just had to listen to this person ruining more screen time, "Dad and mom has been quiet and they told me to ask for the past 2wks who brought home soda can and put them in the fridge?" wait a minute I bought those soda cans for the whole family and there be laying there for the past 2weeks without you touching you people touching it I was so very offended but I had to keep my look and I just cleared my throat and was like " It was me I bought them for all of us I just didn't think there was any reason to tell you its your if you find them you gonna have a drink" it like they were waiting for the sentence to be over and the all rushed to the fridge and brought them out and gave it to everyone as we were all enjoying dad asked where I had gotten the money from and for a fact I cant say how much "around last week the supermarket was short on people to unload packages and I helped out and got payed I go there from time to time to check things out and get paid really well" they didn't have an issue and it was a good picture as I was the last born and already so mature. Minutes later my phone rang and knew what or who it was I just pulled it down as everyone was talking and stories just to see if I gat another 100 on me...read all the exciting messages from my boss and now reached the payment message I didn't know if I should open it to feel like the last excitement and I would now be having an account reading 150k was I ready for that balance in my account? if I did the work I got to see I didn't even go to the received first went to the balance only to my surprise it ain't the 150 I expected tears started to form in my eyes I felt like bursting up in joy...I wanted to scream to the world to hear me and a new message popped up and said "Enjoy yourself that's your bonus and the remaining fee from the last job and the job of the one you sent me enjoy" I looked at my whole family and just felt like sharing but not yet let me get to where I want let me get to that destination and with this amount reading at this level I know ill be there soon I know everything gonna be fine I know my dreams are coming to pass I could even buy a house and a car I in my neighbourhood but not yet not my time yet. I couldn't hold on the tears excused myself and went as we crossed as with my mom she saw me and after a few minutes on getting into my bedroom she was right behind me, but I can't say a thing write now I just can't be that guy to have big promises then fail lemme hold my horses 850k isn't that much. That night I just that there looking at my achievement in two weeks was praying this to be real was just be like God who knows me guide me on spending this money. As midnight approached the time I started to do my work I had to unbox my laptop and the phone and activate the wi-fi so I shut the door and locked it unboxed everything and set everything up within 10 minutes am busy writing as usual....every idea I had I would write email and save now money started to pour in everyday is a payday every idea is a money idea every single breath counts and now I had to look for even businesses to start with less money now I wanted to have paydays from everywhere, is this how it feels to be enjoying your work? is this how it feels to be that guy? as we were get back to school I had made an estimated worth of 2.5 million money made in 2 months I had made it to the millionaires circle but nobody in my family had a clue....school now stared to be seem boring a teacher coming to tell me how to make it in life with education am making it jut fine while am getting education, every break I got is movies, synopsis, ideas, business now I was a full blown business man with no single tie nor suit. Now I get it, I have money rash all over me I got more mature more serious now all I want to here from people is money making ideas. One day a followed my business teacher out of class and asked her how do I get the perfect idea for a start up business and her answer did answer me the way I wanted but I cooked up her words to get my own start up, later on went to my dad and mom to have a word with them so that I can get permission to start my business if they would support me. The energy in me could only be shut of by my father saying I finish school first I can't do both the same tine, but I have been doing that now over 3 months just that I couldn't tell them that but who said they got to find out anyway? went to there nearest agency and rented out a stall to start up for over an year and a half which costed me a lot by the way, bought some clothes online at cheap prices and washing machine and did all of them, ironed them to and they were as new as they come. I knew I wouldn't be able to manage this and now I had to hired maybe 3 to 5 people coz it was that big for that....my big brother and my second brother were fresh out of school and before mom and dad could get them into college they needed jobs and I could count they needed it what I had to search for is just a manager and 2 other workers plus me now I'll pose as am hired. It took me a week to start if off and I got everything ready to open, it did and now I had to tell my 2 brothers which went according to plan...so after school I would always go there pose as if am working get paid as them I had an arranged salary of 500 per day plus commission on selling and by night am going on with my writing, at the end of the month the store brought at small budget after stock and whatever it brought 300 thousand which was alright goin by that time it was still good money and its still money in my pocket. 2 months passed and the rate am at this money isn't still enough and the restaurants in my town wouldn't know what hit them....I customised a very breath taking restaurant and this time it needed more workers than the last now this one is a job for my more not as a cook as a manager my sister was another person in the edge of dropping out of college coz of lack of fees and student loans wasn't doing anything for her so she is a perfect fit now the whole family expect one of us who is nearly out of high school is working, my father working at his plumbing area which didn't pay nearly enough, my two brothers working for me getting good money after there surprise raise now my mom working as a manager in my restaurant getting nearly 50 thousand as a manger under qualified my sister getting a roughly 20 thousand a month as the highest paid waiter in town and me as the secret millionaire holding my family together from being crashed by the hardness of earth. As days passed my dad called a meeting on a Sunday when everyone wasn't working and it was as a shock to us when he told us he lost his job and he needs everyone's help before he gets a new job....we all went into silence then our eldest spoke and said "we all got jobs here expect for Steven there so here is what we are going to do everyone is to contribute 5 thousand each month coz I know we all got enough to last us up and Steven will look you for a job or you do it while dad does that too even after that's what we are going to do" nobody had a say and everyone was benefit coz we all living under where we are getting the money out. Sure it was tough for dad to stay at home the whole day as mom and everyone went to work and as me and Steven go to school and be left all alone, at that point I wanted to let everyone into my little secret my how do I do that they are okay with life so me making my grand entrance isn't the right time or place, it wasn't even my dream yet am still at my parents house am still an year to finish high school so I just have to wait a little longer....my bank wasn't even near the 100 billion I had planed for it was just around 80 million if we count the online shops I opened online and the shipping and the virtual shoe shop I had....within a period of 10 months when I got the 100 thousand I had made it to top class millionaire which my family did have any idea as we were living on the mid class level. A month came where the writing went on a stand still and to thank God it wasn't my only source but the supporting source the other business did okay on there own but the writing was pushing it on making me pocket raw money from both investment. And I had an idea on how and why....called Zafar with a planned speech which didn't go to plan as I expected but it worked, why di we ever write to specific writers like us while we could build a brand not for film but for selling script..it was fresh it was crazy enough and we did it...we agreed to be equal partners as long as we put equal investment on it the idea didn't pick up at first coz of the branding and the marketing I didn't understand since I was still 17 at the time.
