" Can you stop crying and listen to me." I said.
" Okay Williams."
" Listen properly to me. I have warned you before hand but you failed to take my warning. You had a good fortune to start you a good life and your education was going perfectly well for you. Unlike me who was kicked out of the Vatican. If anyone should cry about how bad things have turned out for them, it should be me and not you. Why do have you choose to live your life like this?" I asked her while nursing the pain of having to path with more of my strained budget.
" We all make mistakes don't we. I messed up real bad I don't claim to be any better. But I want you to believe me. I have refused to sell most of my coins even though they keep on loosing value by the day. I know they will rise some days. It's not a prerequisite to squander money, but if I have nothing, I have those, and mostly, I have you Williams." She said amidst her sobs. They were to deep for me to listen pass them. They made me weak and I knew I had to help her all over again. If I ever expected her to be serious in her life, I had to make it clear that I was lending her money so she needed to work hard to repay. The truth was that I knew she could never pay up.
" It's only going to be a matter of time before you drag me down to your level and the two of us would have nothing at all. This would be the last time I will lend you any money. I also have my life to live. Don't be selfish. Think about me to for once in your life." I said and was quick to come to a realization that I may have hurt her the more with my outburst. She was silent and said nothing.
" How much do you want to borrow this time around?" I asked her in a more empathetic tone that was befitting for the last sibling I had left.
" I can't say. Maybe fifty, maybe a hundred thousand. I will take whatever you give me and make the best of out it I promise you. This would be the last time I would ask you for money. Trust me Williams this would be. Things are going to get better for me soon." She said in a solemn voice. I didn't believe her, I should have. Perhaps she was a prophet who saw the future, all I know is that she had been right with her words. It was the last time she called to ask for money again.
