I walk up to the pavement of my house feeling all sad and down. “So much for today’s luck”. Door opens “mother am back”. “Sam my dear loving daughter, how did the interview go”? “Bad, I didn’t get the job”. “What? I was hoping once you get the job you will get an advanced payment so we can pay the loan sharks”. “Mom we will find a solution”. Bang. “ON YOUR KNEES NOW!!!” “Please, we will pay you the money just gives some time”. “TO HELL WITH YOU AND YOUR TIME. I NEED MY MONEY NOW!” “Sir we made an agree-“ . I saw my mom carrying in pain after one of the goons men kicked her straight in the stomach “mom!!” I ran towards her crying.
“Hello dear sir”. A lady came in. Isn’t she the same lady I saw in the elevator “who are you”. “I am Mrs Anderson, mother to Alexander Anderson, how much in total are they owing you” . “Two million dollars”. “Here is your money I don’t want to see you near her, her mother and this house, got it” . Yes they responded uniformly and left. “Thank you so much madam”. “Mom hold on people like her only do such good deeds because they want something in return”. “wow Sam, I love how straight forward you are and that’s why I like you so much, you are quite right there though, I paid of the loan sharks and I want something in return”. “And what’s that Mrs Anderson”? “I want you to marry my son Alexander Anderson” “ Am so sorry Mrs Anderson not to be rude, I respectfully decline your offer, if you may excuse us I would like to arrange this house”. “No problems my dear I will wait for your response”. She told her men she was ready to leave and she left. “Sam are you out of your mind? Why did you decline that? You would have accepted this offer”. “mom i don’t want to marry based on a contract okay I just want a happy family life plus I will pay back their money”. “You will do no such” . “Mom go to bed you are stressed I will clean up the house okay” mom went upstairs and I was happy she could finally let me breathe but I have to find someway to pay her money back.
Next day
I went back to the A&A company to meet his mother. “umm hi I would like to see Mrs Anderson” “ I’m right here my dear” see said with a beaming smile. “It appears you have finally accepted my offer my child” “Actually ma’am am here to return your money” I handed over the money to her but she didn’t accept it. “If you aren’t here to accept my proposal leave this instant but if you change your mind call me” she handed me a card which I assume it’s her no. Ring ring ring I took out my phone and noticed it was an unknown number “hello pls who’s this” “hi Sam am your neighbour from across the street you need to come home now” I ran out with all the energy and speed I had in me.
“Are you the one that called me??” “yes, your mom-” “what happened to her??” she didn’t respond and I went straight into the house and saw it trashed messed up and I saw her – laying on the ground lifeless, helpless covered in a white cloth. What happened here?? I saw from across the room a letter pasted on the wall stating how they(loan sharks) if I don’t repay their money back. no-n-no-n-no thus can’t happen. I cried in pain, I lost the mother who gave birth to me, the only one true parent I had. Sobs sobs I brought out my phone to see a message from mom. “She must have sent it when I was at work.
My dear child , Sam the only one who brings a long lasting smile on my face, you know I- when I married your father I thought everything would be okay but I didn’t know he had another side of him, I found out he just wanted to have sex with me and leave me but because he found I was pregnant he decided to marry me. I have brain cancer and it’s in it’s last stage that’s why I tend to forget things easily. I just want you to know I love you honestly and am sorry I didn’t give you the happy family life you always wanted. After hearing this I couldn’t get my head straigh, I screamed,cried out loud cause I didn’t honestly believe.
I love you too mom
I reached for my phone and called the person I last wanted to call” I accept your proposal, when’s the wedding??”
