LIFE ON THE OTHER SIDE

Emilia was born with a silver spoon in the family of Mr and Mrs Johnson. The day was a great day to remember. People from different places came to see the beautiful child. The child that has decided to come after so many years, " oh! what a beauty ", Mrs.Anderson who is Mrs Johnsons best friend said. After some months went by, during the child dedication of Miss.Emilia Johnson, people showed how rich they were with the kind of gifts they brought. Some gave in cash while others give in material things. As Emelia grew up she never lacked anything she had everything at her beck and call. Her mum had her put in the best school. She never wanted her only child to attend a common School. But things were taking a drastic turn ,the Johnsons gave Emilia rather too much love. They gave her too much attention, even if they were in the middle of a very important business project, they would abandon it at the cry of Emilia, and it was affecting business especially from Mrs Johnson. One day, while driving Emilia back from school, she started fussing, that she wanted ice cream. Her mum had to get her the ice cream even when time was against her because she had a meeting to attend. After dropping her home and ordered the help to give her food, she went for the meeting and arrived when the meeting was almost over. The director of the company she worked for wasn't happy with this so he called her into his office. " Mrs Johnson,I can see that your daughter is taking most of your time". So I might be a wicked boss if I keep punishing you to come to work, this isn't the first, neither is this the second time I've warned you about this, but don't worry I will make it the last warning, so therefore I will advise you to stay at home and take good care of her " . Mr Thompson who is a no- nonsense man said. "Sir..,......,I..,I don't understand " Mrs Johnson said confused. "What I mean is that you are fired " please leave my office" Mr Thompson said. " Am sorry sir, please it will not happen again, please give me a second chance, please sir", Mrs Johnson pleaded. "Please leave my office" Mr Thompson said. When Mrs.johnson saw that he was not ready to negotiate she left with tears in her eyes. When she got home, she couldn't eat. She could barely even look at Emilia. She almost blamed her for what happened. She cried herself to sleep. When her husband got home and received the sad news , he was down trodden because he had also lost his job. The couples were devastated.
