SIX YEARS AGO
It was 6:40 PM when a loud noise came from Kisha's room, She was jumping around the room with excitement and teary eyes of joy.
Her mother came rushing into the room after she heard the noise, to see what happened, and found Found Kisha running around the room screaming that"I made it".
What happened here? Mother asked
Mom look I made it. she said by bringing a laptop right into her hands, This is the administration letter of the school that I applied to and I am accepted with half scholarship
Which course? mother asked
Fashion and designs. she said with a big smile on her face snatching the laptop from her mother's hands
So you were celebrating this big making neighborhood uncomfortable for the fashion and whatever? she said with an annoyed face
Isn't it good?? I've been dreaming about this since I started high school, I want to have my brand and be my model.
Oh! so you want to officially become a prostitute? she smirks
What do you mean?? Kisha asked
your father was a lawyer and I was a good lawyer too after all of that you want to be a stupid model what's that? can't you even think of the status of your family than your stupid ideas? what people will say seeing you there walking naked? I don't want to gossip about this family you better change the course before your father and your uncle know about this.
Mum this is my life I don't expect anyone to understand what I want, let me do my things in my way, you asked me to study the course that I had absolutely no idea about and I did it for you and uncle and now it's my time to choose what I want to do.
Hmmm.. until my last breath I can't allow you to be a prostitute in the world's eyes. period
Kisha's mother walked away from the room and went back to the living room, Kisha sat on the bed and starts to cry while holding the pillow, She sat on the couch and took the phone to call someone.
Hello Fred?
Hi sister?
Guess what happened to me?? I found Kisha in her room celebrating that she got accepted into fashion whatever school. she said with a smirk
Your Kisha?
Yes my Kisha
I thought she was wise now I guess I am doubting about her brain, she was smart in school, and she should be a journalist, lawyer, or something else to make us proud, anyway, I will pass by after work and talk to her about that.
Yeah, I am waiting.
The day went well nothing special happened until Fred's car showed up. Kisha was still in her room thinking out loud about what she can do to not miss the opportunity. Fred went into the house to find his sister watching TV, they greeted each other and sat together, they talked a little bit about Kisha's issue and they decided to call her.
Kisha heard her name in a harsh tone from her mother, She quickly wipe the tears and put them together herself, and walks out of the room.
She gets in the living room and greets her uncle she grabs a sit and they started to talk.
We were talking about you. Fred said
Talking about what? Kisha said as if she didn't know what they were exactly talking about
She told me that I want to study fashion stuff I don't know what it is. Fred said while Kisha's mother was preparing and arranging food in the dining room.
Well, I think you should reconsider, you are a smart girl you can do better than that, the career you want is for prostitutes where will you find a husband while u walk all of your life naked? which clothes will you make while you can't even put back the lost button on a shirt? Anyway, that's not the reason we are here I want you to think of something else to study in college, not useless catwalks.
But.....before she yet finishes to talk
But what?? there is no but either you study what I am telling you or better have another option not that one, I don't want to repeat myself again
Kisha took some minutes silently, thinking about the answer she have to give to both her mother and her uncle, Fred, and his sister went to eat and have a chat while Kisha was in coach thinking out loud what to do, she stood up, gets closer to them and said" I now know what I chose not to study fashion I am going for journalism"
Her uncle and mother both looked at each other and smiled, and Kisha looked at them and smiled too which was fake. she came to sit with them at the table, and they had a little conversation and tell them that she will change the course but not a country and they all agreed.
After 3 months Kisha was ready to go abroad to study, after she canceled the scholarship her mother and uncle agreed to pay her school tuition and all her needs while she will be abroad. Kisha went UK.
After a week she was already getting used to school, She got some friends and she was getting used to the climate also which is far different From the African climate,
One day she was sitting at the cafeteria around the corner of the school when her teacher was passing by and notices her and said"hey Kisha I loved the dress you made yesterday so school there is a competition I was thinking maybe you can join" Kisha got exited and took the papers to look for more information.
Wait, what? I thought Kisha is a journalism student turns out she went to the school that offered her a scholarship 3 months ago, what happened?
That night when she was quite thinking about the course her mother want her to study she suddenly got a new idea about how she can tell them what they want to Hear and make a plan for herself.
In 3 months she was planning how everything will be done smoothly without her mother, and uncle knowing, She found a way to make fake emails from her friend.
Every 2 days Kisha received an email to show her mother pretending it is from another school she was looking for which has to course her mother wants, she added the school fees which she thinks will sustain her during 3 years of studying.
She went abroad to the school she was accepted to and all the school tuition from her uncle she kept in her bank account, she had another plan of opening her own business after she finish her studies. Kisha did her best in school, she attended a lot of motivation meetings, and sometimes she was a model for her college and sometimes a model for her designer the money her mother sent she always kept for future use.
AFTER 9 MONTHS
It was a Friday evening when music was playing and everyone looking stunning, the parking was already full of cars and everyone was enjoying the drink and some were chatting a little bit. It was "A Gala" at Kisha's school they host a fashion event every year and invites a lot of people including influencers, journalist, people from the government, parents, and many more, that event shows a lot of things from fashion and the newest designers and new designer through modeling.
Kisha was backstage getting preparation of modeling she was at the exit glancing outside and walking around the room, the time for modeling had started and the event officially opened, she did well on the stage as a model and came back as a designer, everyone there was amazed by her and how multi-talented she is, after modeling she went to change into a red long gown for party and black heels with some jewelry on neck and arms, she also changed the makeup and hairstyle too, she looked completely different from her earlier look, she was walking on an event looking around and have some chit chat with some VIP's and her college colleagues.
After some time her feet start to itch from her heels, she went outside of the event and grab a sit with a glass of white wine in hand, she started to recall what happened earlier how she was nervous and after all, she made it that makes her smile more often, while she was sitting there she heard her name in deep tone "Kisha". She glanced to see who it was it turns out it was a black tall guy in a black suit and a white shirt with mixed colors tie, he quickly stood up when that guy said" it's okay you can sit" She didn't listen to him she walks towards him and said," you called me sir".
That guy smiled at her " no I am Jack, drop that sir" She smiled back and agreed to call him by his name.
So why are you sitting alone? Jack asked
well I was just taking some air and thinking. she replied
But you look stunning actually, girls in red look different. He said in a flirty tone
Well I don't think it is only color the shape matters too. she said with laughter
Hmm, that's the fact.
So sir why are you outside too??
First of all, don't call me sir, the second is I don't feel like being inside.
Oh, I am sorry jack.
It's ok, he said
They both sat and started to talk, but they h different conversation some was personal and others were general, they talked until the end of the party they didn't even realize that it was done until Jack's friends showed up to tell him that it was time to go, Jack stood up and before he went he asked Kisha her phone number and he went.
On his way home, he was having a conversation with his friend who was teasing him from the start
Boy, I saw you with that model girl, what do you want from her?
You know what I saw in her?? she is not a just college student, She is also passionate and talented and is ready to fight for herself.
This is the first time I see you talking like this about a woman.
No, she is not an ordinary woman, she is beyond according to her mind she is too smart, I need a girl like her in my life.
Do you need a girl? or should I remind you that your parents can never allow her even to be near you? The best advice I can give you is don't even think about it let her go you will find another one with the same status as yours.
No, but status can be built but being smart? that's a talent bro.
Whatever, just don't you already know the reason why.
Oh, God! I can't even choose who I want to be with only because of my father's status, bro I hate this kind of life being a politician is another burden especially when you are African.
Dude, there is nothing you can do about it, just do what your father wants and keep the family's name clean.
They continued to chat until they got home and everyone went to his room. Jack undressed too quickly and took his phone and starts to talk to Kisha, they chat all night until one of them fall asleep, They eventually become friends, starts to hang out every weekend, help each other emotionally, knowing each other very deeply.
After a few months they started dating even if Jack's status didn't allow him to date a girl like her who was a model and designer mostly a college student, it was sweet and lovely everyone wanted to be like Kisha and Jack. After a few months, Kisha graduated from college with jack by her side, She started to work for companies as a designer and part-time jobs as a model.
One night Kisha fainted at Jack's house, They took them to the hospital to check what happened to her.
Doctor, how is it?
Well, she needs to rest, she fainted because of stress and exhaustion.
Will she be ok?
Yes!
