FATHER'S SACRIFICE

Unlike any other maiden, elena was born into a very poor family, where they find it hard to eat a complete three square meal. The house they lived in was the oldest among other house, it was an abandoned house made with block which had holes along the other side given way to leakage. Despite the circumstances, elena and her family lived in peace and unity despite not having the necessary things of life or so we thought. elena has always dreamed of becoming a successful musician an insect practicing right from time. her father even though did not have much make sure that she was happy and with his little income it was able to enroil her with voice training class. "Elena i might not have enough to give you but as long as dad is alive, i promise to give you the word and everything you need just to make sure you progress because since you successful will be the day i will find this satisfied" he said with a smack on his face why rubbing her hair gently as little elena kept staring at him while smiling "and daddy i promise to make you proud by enemies i will make sure to make you and mom proud i promise" He nods in agreement everywhere was quiet for a while when her mother rachel storms into the house looking pissed off as she drops the growth in her hand, working straight to where elena was playing with her dad and put her away standing before her husband she began shouting at him. "look steven when exactly are you going to find a job to give us a better life because this insults i am receiving is getting out of hands now." she continues shouting on top of her voice why he tries to calm her down "Rachel i thought we've discussed about this before that i will soon find a job and we will go back to how we were living before all i need is a little more time and your support" He tries explaining furthermore but rachel quickly shut him off. "so how long will i continue to wait for your big break cuz that's what you've been saying and is what you have been telling me since but still no result, do you really want me to die in poverty is that what you want answer me stephen roberts" steven turn and notice elena staring at them with cherry eyes, a quickly gives rachel away high signal for her to keep quiet but it seems she don't care. "why should i keep quiet oh oh i see your plan, your plan is for me to keep quiet so that i will continue to suffer in silence but let me remind you something because i know you might have forgotten i was never born poor, my generations were never poor, before i met you you were not poor and that's the reason i even agree to marry you in the first place my skin is not meant to suffer or experience poverty so you better find a solution now because i'm allergic to poverty and it's already affecting me" " well steven i don't care whether she's watching us all i'm trying to say what is the way forward because for me if things continue like this i'm not sure i can continue with this marriage because i'm too beautiful and sexy to be suffering" she walk towards frightened elena and kiss her on her forehead then she said "don't worry my little angel, your dad will take care of you when i'm gone then when he becomes rich again which i doubt then mom will come back for you" "rachel don't you have any shame i mean shame even if it's a little bit of shame look at what you are saying to our little daughter" he angrily said and drags little elena away from her. "get away from my daughter please you don't deserve to be a mother and do whatever pleases you i'm not begging you at all" steven tries to hold back his tears on controllably "Steven roberts i can say that you are still making mouth, claiming right when you know i'm only trying to help you, your mate are out there working hard to give their family a better life but you are here playing like a little child" Rachel said laughing " rachel robots you and i know that i have given you everything all that you desire, you ask for a car i bought you a car for you and your mom now just because i'm going through rough time you are now overreacting like i never did all that for you is that how ungrateful you can be". he looks at her with a disappointed face " i never expected such from you what happened to all the promises you made to me, what happened to all the memories we want shed won't you talk answer me woman". his voice starts to c***k " so you're now raising your voice on me right stephen you are not raising your voice on me because i'm telling you the truth people are laughing at us, they speak ill of us can't you see and is affecting me mentally is draining me emotionally cuz even my friends are now disassociating themselves from me because of how poor we are now" " i don't care about what people have to say about us and how we are leaving and for those you're so called friends they are not your friends because if they are truly your friends then they won't have left and distance themselves from you in your difficult time so stop stating nonsense and go make dinner rachel" " so you think that this is a joke so what i'm saying now is now a joke to you well i care what people are saying and i'm tired of people insulting and gossiping about us because of how bad things has become and honestly speaking i can't be at again". she went inside packs her things and came out she then takes a deep breath and then continue. "i want a divorce steven you are too poor and richard to take care of me mr bingo dog" "divorce, why rachel you promise never to leave my side what i'm going to is just for a temporary period of time please don't leave you know that i love you and can't live without you". steven pleaded as he went on his knees but it seems rituals has made her final decision "steven i'm leaving so you have to learn how to live without me when things get better you can contact me and i'll consider coming back to you because i cannot continue suffering with you my skin needs some princess treatment till then don't you dare stop me or else i will show you not to mess with me mr whatever they call you." rachel said with a grumpy face then rolls her eyes like she don't care "if you leave this house rachel then don't consider coming back to this house ever again" steven threatens "are you threatening me what the f*** as if i want to return to this poverty striking house i'm so beautiful to be stuck with you" she said and works towards him "listen to me carefully steven i've never return to your house ever again you are going to hear from my lawyer" she works out of them despite elena calling out her name why crying saving tries to cheer elena up and she asked him "dad, is mom coming back" She asked crying. " no your mom is not coming back it's just the two of us now don't worry dad is here for you" he takes her back to her room and returns to the sitting room while trying to figure out solutions to his problem.
