A lot many thoughts passed through her depressed brain as she spoke to herself. "Brother! How can you commit this blunder? You did not even think of the family?" she cried and wiped away the tears that had fallen on her pink cheeks. "I've not even seen 20,000 dollars all my life. How are we going to pay all this money back? I am sure, Grandma will have a heart attack after hearing all this! What do I do? God please help me! Please! she cried again.
