Once upon a time in a small community called kannia there lived a girl called Salma, she was a very beautiful girl that every guy in that community want to have her as theirs, Salma was the first born in a family of four kids, her father's name was Mr Kabba and her mother's name was Abibatu, the kabba family lived in a two rooms apartment for that was what they could afford, Saloma was a very brilliant girl and she was so popular in
any school she attends her parents were so proud of her and every body in her family too, Salma's parent were not educated but they tried so hard to give their children the best education, but the children were not so happy in that family, because there parent we not just the best at all Mr Kabba was a very strict man he was strict to the extent that his children were not allowed to make friends and they were not given the privilege of building that parent -children relationship, so for this reason the children find it boring whenever they are home, as time passed by the strictness of Mr Kabba become worse by the day when Salma was already 16years of age, one faithful day, Salma was invited to a friends birthday party and the party was 500meters away from Salmas home and she thought it fit that she should attend but forgot to tell her dad even though her mom was aware of it but was warned not to stay till the party is over because her Father may have returned home, Salma stick to the promise and came back earlier than expected few hours later, her father arrived from work and everyone was home Mr kabba didn't notice that Salma left the house for a party since she was home before he arrived. The next morning, Salma's friend brought her own share of the birthday cake since she couldn't wait for the party to end, unfortunately Mr kabba was sitting outside when Salma's friend came with the cake as they were discussing, Mr kabba noticed that Salma went to a party the previous day and so for that reason, Salma was flogged by her dad, but whilst flogging her, Salma noticed that she was bleeding from her head and she shouted "daddy my head is bleeding" before they know it Salma was already lying in her own pool of blood. She ran outside the room to search for help to her neighbors upon her arrival, every body was so scared that she might bleed to death in the next minutes, her mum was adviced to report the matter to the police but she refused rather she took her daughter to the hospital for treatment, hours later when Mr Kabba was asked why he did that to his own child he said " I don't know what came over me" Salma was admitted for some days and later discharged from the hospital few days after her discharge, Mr Kabba died, he wasn't sick he never complain of anything disturbing him to anyone, it was a very sad moment for the kabba family, after the funeral, no finance was left to take care of the children again and things started becoming tough for this family, so because of the situation, Salma decided to quit school and help her mother to take care of her siblings, Salma started selling boiled egg in the street after a year passed by, Salma decided to go back to school at least let her get her WASSCE result even if she doesn't go to university she believed that she could start somewhere with her WASSCE result, she started going to school again she studied very hard to ensure she gets a better result at the end of the day.
