"Mama, I believe that God will help us. I will find ways mama. Just pls. let me study" Cherubs pleaded.
"Mama, I've heard there is a school that offers scholarships, we just only need 500 pesos for the enrollment." Cherubs continues.
"What? 500 pesos? we don't even have 100 pesos today." her mother replied.
Is that how poor are they? she thought.
"Mama, we can still find ways. Anyway, we still have a month to look for that amount." Cherubs stated with much of determination.
"Ok, today, you go to your Aunt, try to borrow some money for your enrollment." her mother suggested.
Cherubs aunt is known to be a rich woman in their village. She used to run different kinds of business. All are legitimate bussinesses.
When she borrowed a money for her enrollment, her aunt always tell her "Why will I let you borrow? your parents are not working in a company!"
Cherubs heart sank. She was humiliated by her own aunt.
