I just finished preparing lunch, it wasn't well spiced like the food the chefs made at the restaurant but it was something a human could eat, I made spaghetti.Getting something to eat everyday has always been a miracle after the death of my mother, it wasn't like it was so easy when she was alive but at least I had a helping hand from her.I didn't have a job that paid me much neither did she but together we always found a way to put food on the table and fix our leaking roof once in a while.I always get scared when raining season is drawing closer, it leaves most parts of our house wet with puddles, most times I come home from work after a rainy day to meet my clothes wet.I placed the food on an old table, the only table in the small living room located at the right side, I sat on the long bench taking a deep breath, at that moment I wondered where my sister had gone, there was nothing more to eat apart from this food so I needed to share it with her.An

"Where on earth am I supposed to get $200,000 from?" My hands and feet were shaking with the thought of the huge sum of money.I took another glance at the paper staring closely at it wondering if perhaps I saw wrongly but I didn't, it was exactly $200,000, I gasped in fear feeling totally frustrated. My salary wasn't even up to $2000."Are you okay?" My colleague Maryann asked looking concerned.I nodded, I wasn't ready to bug anyone with my issues, I was sure she couldn't help me.She shook her head "Selena you don't look okay to me, what's going on? You were late to work today."I sighed looking up at her oval shaped face "you're right, I'm not okay, my sister is sick and she needs urgent surgery but the fee is so expensive, I can't afford it."Maryann sat beside me "I'm so sorry about your sister, but how much is the surgery?"I handed the paper over to her, I didn't know how to say it to her."Oh! My God! This is a lot of money! Where are

"Are you okay Louis?" She asked peering at his face.He nodded "sure mother, I'm good."She shook her head "I know that look on your face, what is bothering you son?"Louis sighed "mother it's nothing, you shouldn't bother about me."He stood up to his feet stretching himself, he had a long day at the fish market"I would go to bed now."He walked into his room without saying another word to his mother, he didn't find it cool to disturb him mother with his relationship issues, they had more than enough to worry about at home.Louis walked into the small bedroom and sat on the bed, he shared the room with his two younger brothers who were fast asleep.He took a deep breath lying on his back "I don't know what it is but I have a feeling that Selena is hiding something from me" he thought shutting his eyes.Few minutes later, he dozed off."Dad..." Stella called out walking into her father's bedroom.Mr. Chancy had was standing close to

"Hahahaha" I laughed within at the curiosity in their eyes, I heard some girls at the corner yelling.. "Say yes girl."Great! I said yes and that was quite a beautiful scenario, I doubt if I slept that night."Maybe I should excort you home" he said turning me around as he placed his hand across my shoulder.My eye widened in fear, I didn't want him to come anywhere close to my house for the mean time else he might find out that I was hiding something, Louis is too smart."No Louis, you don't need to worry, I'm not a kid and I can always go home on my own" I said putting up that baby face.He chuckled on seeing the look on my face tickling my cheeks.I smiled, yes I did, I couldn't believe I could truly actually do that especially with what's going on in my life at this moment.It was really so impossible to resist smiling when I'm around Louis."Stop! Stop!" I cried out bursting into a loud laugh and he joined me.He stopped as he stared

I was quite for a few minutes, so scared of mentioning the amount and wondered what he might say or think of me for asking him to help me which such amount of money.I cleared my throat when I finally found my voice, I was about the speak before I heard my phone ringing from the small silver purse Mr.Chancy had bought for me."Excuse me sir..." I said reaching into the purse for my phone.I stared at the screen and gaped "not now.." I muttered taking a glance at Mr.Chancy who couldn't get his stare off me not that I knew why but whatever it was, it didn't make me feel comfortable having him look at me that way.Mr. Chancy noticed the look on my face "it's your boyfriend I guess."I nodded looking away "how could he have guessed right?" I wondered arching my brow. Well... every boyfriend ought to check up on their girlfriends especially one that is an orphan.He shrugged "he must be so caring for you to be with him, go ahead, pick your call" he urged.
