Eeeei!!! are you still in bed? It is almost 7:30am and you're still sleeping! How can a student sleep and snore at this time of the day?

Hey! Lovia wake up! Can't you hear me?

(Mercy went out for cold water and poured it on her sleeping daughter)

Oooops! Mum how can you do this?!! Shouted Lovia... why should you force me to go to school whiles you've not paid my school fees? I am tired of schooling...the headmaster said I shouldn't step a foot on the school's compound again because the amount I'm owing, even if I'm given hundreds years to pay, I can't and you're here shouting at me. See what you've caused, you've wet the whole room where we cook, eat, bath, dress and sleep. The whole place is messed up. Don't ever think of telling me to wipe and clean up the room. I am tired of school!

"Mercy begins to cry and calls her husband's ghost"

Owh! Why me! Why me God! Otaniel my husband if you can hear and see me please come to our aid. "Hihihihihii" aaaaah! Ever since you left us we've been suffering. You couldn't leave any money for us. What we will eat has become a problem now Lovia has been sacked from school. If you really my daughter and I then do some miracle for us.

Mum it's okay stop crying...."they both sit on the ground to weep"

My daughter is God not alive? Why is He seeing us through so much pain.

Mum don't say that, God is only testing our faith....

Till when Lovia..

Mum we will make it one day. Let's have hope. Everything will be fine.

Are you not going to the market today?

I will go but I don't know what we will eat this morning.

Mum don't worry. Let's go on an empty stomach. By 1:00pm, someone will come and buy so that we use that money to eat.

Lovia what if your ulcer rises? I don't have money to take you to the hospital ooh.

I will be fine mum. Dress up and let's go.

They all went to the market. As at 2:pm, no one has come to buy some of the Charcoal. As they were sitting, Lovia started running to hide as soon as she saw her class mates.

Mum!mum!!mum!!! I'm coming!!!

Lovia come back where are you running to?

She returns in 15 minutes later

Eerh mm ahh I'm tired.....mum are they gone?

Which people?

Ohh so you didn't see them? My class mates. They use to laugh at me when ever the headmaster asks me to go home. So I don't want them to see me here too.

Awww this is all my fault. If I have money to pay your school fees, this wouldn't have happened.

Mum let's go home eerh if no one is coming to buy. I'm feeling hungry.

What are we eating? Where are we going to get money to even buy the food.

Wait here, I'm going to ask a friend if she will can give me money.

My dear friend how are you doing?

I'm fine sister mercy. How is your beautiful daughter?

Oh by the grace of God we are all fine.

Please I came to seek your help.

Oh we are all sisters. What are friends for? How may I help you my dear sister.

Since morning we came here no one has come to buy. We don't know what we are eating today so I came to ask if you can help us with any amount of money to buy food.....

....owh sorry sister mercy. Take this and use it to buy food for your daughter ok. If I can't help you with anything not food.

Thank you so much Nora. God will bless you forever. I really appreciate everything.....I will take my live then, bye.

Bye my dear...it shall be well

Lovia have you packed the things?

Yes mum.

Then let's go. Looking at the weather, it might rain. We need not to waste time.

Mum please did you get some of the money?

Yes ooo....may God continue to bless this my friend ooooo

Amen!
