CHAPTER 2 🎗️ 🎗️

🌺🌺 Lily Pov cont'd 🌺🌺

"When I was just a little girl,I faced the bad part of life in my early stage,I am the only child of my parents.

I really wanted to have a happy family the other way other children had but circumstances said something else. When I was six years old,my dad lost his job,my dad had no relatives to run to and mum was a great liability to him because she was an asthmatic patient then up till now.

My dad didn't allow mum to work , mum was a degree holder in Marketing and Finance but dad didn't allow her to work in any organisation,to worsen it her didn't allow her to set up a trade,she became a full house wife with no job but to clean the house and do the homely duties expected of her.

So when dad lost his job things became really difficult ,I hardly go to school ,all the Money dad got from selling most of the valuable things in the house and all sorts of menial jobs he did was spent on mum condition.

When I turned ten mum condition worsened and I stopped going to school finally. I did all sorts of job to assist dad at my tender age.

I worked in a restaurant ,I worked as a cleaner in many organisations. I even worked in the cafeteria in my school so as to make all ends meet.

When I woke up in the mornings by 5 am then,I would go the restaurant close to our house and leave by 8 am when it is time for lunch I head to the cafeteria in my school,I get to serve my mates who are older than me and those that are younger than me.

I work there during the period of lunch then head back to a hospital that I was worked as a cleaner,I move from there to the other restaurants I worked,I can't even remember how many places I worked they are up to six or seven where I worked then.

I continued in that situation for three solid years so when I turned 13 mum health improved a little and I was able to go back to school.

My mates where ahead of me when I got back to school. I still worked in a hospital to be able to afford mum medication. I worked and read very hard so that I wouldn't lack behind in the class I was.

It was where I worked as a cleaner in the hospital that God lead me to meet Mr Frederick.

It was a sunny afternoon that fateful day,I was really tired and due to the fatigue my vision became blurry and I bumped into him,through that incident he helped me a lot when he heard about my predicament.

He helped me so much in a way that I would be forever be grateful to him. He took care of my mother and payed all bills for her surgery. He took me to a good school and through him I went to university Successfully. He got dad a good job and everything went back to normal.

Tears were already dripping down my eyes freely even more than before. Mrs Dorathy heaved a huge sign.

she looked at me with pity and brought out a handkerchief for me to wipe away my tears. she stood up from her seat and consoled me,her firm hands stroked my long wavy hair.

"sorry Lily what you have gone through is really enough from your own view of things not to get married easily,am so sorry but I would love to ask a question".

"go on ma'am" I replied she sat down on the table facing me directly.

"What did you study in the school"

"i studied law"

"wow a nice course,so do you intentions of setting up a business of your choice or you want to get sources from being a lawyer"

"I wish to have a business enterprise and also continue my career in becoming a lawyer"

"OK what plans do you have,the business first or the career?"

"If I can be called to the bar right now I would accept it and if I can raise a little amount of money I would set up a business equally,It's a option of which comes first".

"I can help you in the raising an amount of money for the business if you would like"

My face lit up immediately,I sat upright.

"Tell me ma'am how can you help me"

"Well there is a contest or let me say give away going in. Different companies joined together to set up this contest,I didn't know every details about it but you can try your luck. The prizes are amazing and you can be the lucky winner and if you are don't misuse the money".

"Ma'am can you send the details of this contest"

"sure I would do that" she looked up to me and smiled,"why can't you tell Mr Frederick" she queried.

I looked at her and shook my head negatively

."I don't want to tell him,because I love doing things on my own"

she took my hand and rubbed it with her hands

"Dear Lily you need to be a strong and you need to get married as soon as possible too you are a woman,I understand your pain but please make sure the decision doesn't affect you Marital life in the future"

"OK ma'am thanks very much"

"You are welcome dear"

"I would be on my way now"I told her

"OK dear,you would see the message on your phone before you get home"

"OK bye" I replied

"bye" she said

I went out feeling relieved,this is the first time Sikh my story to somebody,Richard knows but not the way this woman knows.

My phone beeped and as I took it out to the message,I bumped into someone.
