Put that ring on

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.

They all discussed that Alia should attend boarding school next academic year.lt was to prevent any mistakes from falling in love with other boys so they choose a single girls'school.

The rest of the money was to renovate their house and also send some to their old daughter Aziiza who leaves in the city.

They all slept with happy hearts.The next day Mr.Bubu went to see the shop owner and rented one.He started to buy everything needed and in one week everything was okay and the shop started to work.Some villagers were envious of him. So they started to point out how the shop won't last for too long but he proved them wrong when it stood firm and operate for years. 

Alia was sent to her inlaw's house.The old woman was the happiest to see her.Alia was also surprised that she was a relative of her inlaws.

Alia and Mozey spent a month together but their interaction was just fair.To be honest Alia didnt feel anything for Mozey and Mozey also was giving more of his time to books.Thus at the end of the month no one felt hesitating to leave the other.

Alia was sent to a boarding school and her parents advised her to always know and remember where she came from before doing something.She put these words to her heart.To always be careful  become her other sister. 

On the other hand Mozey was sent to the United states of America to further his studies and he was to spend there 5years.He was escorted by his family to the airport and they left after seeing that the plane took off.

  Years went by quickly and in the blink of an eye three years have passed.Alia finished her high school.After the exams she came back at her home to wait for their release.

Although she has been coming back home after every end of term but she never felt happier than today because she will take atleast 2-3 months waiting for the release of exams for her to join university.

One week after her return from school,her mother gave her a surprise small party at home.She turned 18 now which means she is a regarded as an adult according to the Ugandan constitution.

The party brought all her childhood and current friends together and they enjoyed themselves.What made her happy was that her elder sister whom she didnt see in the previous two years has also come today.She was so happy.Her mother gave her a set of jewerly which had earpins,necklace and a ring.She loved them so much.She was also given a cutie teddie bear by her sister Aziiza.Her father gave her a bracelet.According to the previous birthdays this was special to her and she loved seeing her family all together.

When the party finished her mother called her in the living room where her dad and sister were present too.

Alia you now turned 18 .l think you still remember this....She took a box from her husband's hand and handed to Alia.

Alia took the small box and her eyes immediately come insight with the engagement ring.She still remember everything until now.Every once in a while her thoughts used to go back to that day and wonder how they will be when her husband to be comes back.She couldnt help but panic some how.

lsnt it time to put that ring on dear.Her mother continued.
