His Rejection And Regrets

Alia baby you look stunning in this outfit.You know its a descent one and compliments your figure well.Said mrs Babu Alia's mother.Alia was confused the moment she came  back from school,she was told to wear the dress.Although the dress is beautiful and she liked it,she doesnt understand why her mother is this excited today.lsn't it just a dress? she thought to herself.Being curious for a while Alia couldn't take it anymore so she went on to ask her mother where she got this beautiful dress.She knowns that their financial status isnt that good to buy the dress which looks expensive.Dear l will explain everything to you when your father comes back.For now go to have your food l have already placed it on the table.And yes be quick we have visitor's in the evening.Alia said ok and went to her room to freshen up and eat her food.While having a bath,her mind went back to how her mother was weird and she felt something might be wrong somewhere but what is

The dinner was served and everyone enjoyed the meal.Alia and her mother cleared the table and they came to sit in the leaving room afterwards.Mr.Ouma and mr.Babu were at one side of the leaving room discussing the price fluactuation of agricultural products that had occur recently.lt had affected many farmers in the village. They had yielded a lot of agricultural harvests but the prices of also decreased. This left farmers sad and some lost interest in continuing to go to their gardens. And mrs.Ouma her eyes were glued to Alia.The more she looked at her the more she liked the girl. Recently when the women were gathered for their developmental organisation at the village square, they talked about how this Alia was well mannered,calm and sensible compared to her fell teenagers.She recalled every word they talked about her. One woman even said; lts too bad that my son is five years young than Alia l would have requested for them to be engaged

Dad whether the money is mine or not we can just use it as a family.l dont have anything that l want money for.So you and mum should decide what to do with it.Mr .Babu lovingly pinched Alia's cheeks and said my daughter is really sensible.He looked at his wife and asked about her opinion and Mrs.Babu said; Husband recently there has been new constructed shops for renting near the village square.How about we open a shop there.We can keep the money as well as gaining more profits.ln this way we can also relieve the Pressure Aziiza has to provide for us.Mr .Bubu said wife you have a point there lets make something productive with this money.We are not going to waste it. The villagers are looking at us with sharp eyes. If we don't invest it properly, we will be the talk of the village in the future. That night they made budget for the 6millions they got.They concluded that some of the money should start a family shop near the village square.

Two weeks later Alia was called by her former school.They informed her that she had won a half bursary to Makerere University which is the best university in Uganda and the second in Africa.The caller also informed her to go for admission any day from tomorrow.She couldnt be any happier than this.She shouted even more.Called the name makerere like hundred times.She was with Robinah her best friend thus she said;Robinah my friend pinch me l think am dreaming.But its day light.Do l day dream? she asked herself.Robinah pinched her so hard.Ouccch it hurts you dont have to extert all your strength on it.Alia snapped.Serves you right... said Robinah with a smile.Alia couldnt believe it that she is joining that university.Her friends all wanted to join but the tuition is too high.What about she only have to pay half.This is unbelievable. She voiced out loud. She danced again and singing as well.Yeah,yeah am a luckychildYeah,yeah God lov

That night Alia couldn't  sleep.She kept tossing in the bed.She finally managed to sleep late in the midnight.She had a dream.she was walking too speedy and as if trying to catch up to someone.But the person who she was after too was also walking on a very high speed.She frowned trying to stretch her legs to move faster but couldn't. She stopped chasing him and he disappeared in the dark alley.She felt sad and her mind was sure that the person was very important to her. But seems that he didn't care about her at all. When she turned to go back to where ever she came from,She met eyes with her grandma who said to her.Dear things always happen for the reason dont panick always be calm.Dear also some things may become like a mistake but they may also become for the better stay strong.She woke up.Alia was confused about the dream.Who was the man she was chasing?
