When I was 19 and my mother, too, wasn't working, and it was dad working and he died. You know I regret a lot not listening to them.
So, now. Father is gone and mom, too, is not working to take care of me, so I have to run on the street before I eat. You know, because of what I did. I became the biggest enemy to my real family and my mother never wanted to see me home. So, I became a street boy, doing everything on the street because I had nowhere to go, like my home.
My mother said she can't take care of me at this age. So, I left home and slept at my friend's house and outside. You know I did that for years, till I one day had the opportunity to work for Mr. Wilson as his personal driver and here I am.
Hey, I am not saying your parents will die like my "fam". No dude, but anything can happen in this life. So, once, you have the opportunity to continue your education. Why don't you man?]
[Lefah sighs]
"Hey, man. I am sorry about everything that happened in your life, man." [Lefah]
[Jack, snickers]
"Hey, I am cool, man. That's just life and I get a lot to tell my kids dude." [Jack]
"Yeah, man. And I am the first person to know your real story. Lucky I am Jack." [Lefah]
"Hey, we're there now. Just get out. Isabella is waiting for you inside." [Lefah]
"Okay, Jack." [Lefah]
[Car door opens]
"Hey, man. Thank you so much for your advice, Jack. I really appreciate your voice, man." [Lefah]
"Hey, this is nothing. Don't make a mistake like I did and close that fu*k door for me kid." [Jack]
"Hey, Jack. Whose car is that one? And it wasn't here the last time we came here."
"Yeah, that car is for Miss. Erica, Isabella's mother. Maybe she is here too. Why?" [Jack]
"Oh, that's nothing, Jack. Just asking."
"Okay, man." [Jack]
[Lefah smile]
[Lefah] "Okay, okay. Bye Jack"
[Car door closed]
"Hey! Lefah." [Isabella]
[Lefah] "Hey! Isabella"
[Isabella] "Why don't you run fast here? You know I really miss you."
"Hey, how are you, Isabella?" [Lefah]
"Are you, serious right now? Just how are you and the last time we met here; you promised me a kiss. So?
"Mm-hmm" [Lefah]
"Is that a "mm-hm" like you overheard me right or a "mm-hmm" like I should "shut up" baby doll?" [Isabella]
[Lefah snickers]
"Yeah, that's what I mean "shut up". Why do you want us to meet Isabella?"
[Isabella] "I told you about my mom last night, and she said she wanted to meet you and talk with you. Hey, this is the first time in history my mom agreed to meet my boyfriend. She never wants to see me around any boy." [Isabella]
[door opens]
"And do you think she will like me? And hey, come here. Why didn't you tell me that I am here to meet your mother, just to dress nicely when coming. You know, in this dress, your mom may think I am like those boys on the street, but I am not like them."
[Isabella snickers]
"Silly boy. Just come in, she is waiting for us." [Isabella]
"Okay, fine."
[door closed]
[Isabella] "Hey, Mom. This is Lefah."
[Miss. Erica] "Will you "shut up" Isabella. And I have asked you a question, young lady. Why don't you allow him to talk to me, Isabella?"
[Isabella] "But he is my boyfriend, Mom. Okay, I am sorry Erica."
[Lefah] "Good morning mother."
"Yeah, my son. How are you and your family? Hey, your name again, young man?"
"Please, I am Lefah from the old street."
"Wow, guess you are not part of those gangsters in your town, right? Young man."
"No, mama. I just stayed there with my "fam". Uh..., sorry, my family."
"Hey, what's the meaning of that? "Fam", young man?"
"It means family, mom." [Isabella]
"Oh, don't worry my dear boy. Mommy got this Lefah." [Miss. Erica]
[Miss. Erica] "Hey, young lady. I think I ask you to "shut up", right?"
"Sorry Mom. But the question is too much, Mom. Why don't you talk about why you asked me to invite him over, Mom." [Isabella]
[Miss. Erica] "And what do you think I am doing right now, Isabella? If you open your mouth again, you will live us right now, okay?"
"Okay, Mom." [Isabella]
"Good. Now, young man, what do you do for a living?" Like, working or maybe a student." [Miss. Erica]
"No mama. I don't work, and I am a student and just yesterday I had my admission to college, and I'll be going to school this weekend, Miss. Erica. [ Lefah]
[Miss. Erica] "Wow, I am really proud of you, my son. Maybe you're not like that stupid girl sitting there. She never likes to call on college. Maybe you should talk to her, my dear."
"Okay, mother. Please I'll." [Lefah]
[Miss. Erica] "Thank you so much my son. I think we should continue this chat next time. But I would like to see you home before you go to school, my son."
"Okay, mother, and thanks for the invite, I'll try and come home before I go to school, Miss. Erica." [Lefah]
[Miss. Erica] "Hey, I even forgot to ask you young man. And don't lie to me, Lefah."
"Yeah, mama I won't lie. I really love Isabella, and you don't have to worry about that."
[Miss Erica smile]
"Good and hey, how did you get to know what I am about to ask you, young man?" [Lefah]
"Don't worry about that, Miss. Erica. I got this please."
"Okay, fine. I am having a meeting to attend now, so see you guys' later kids. [Miss. Erica]
[Lefah] "Thanks for your time, Miss Erica."
"Oh, nice and it is good that you know my name already."
"Yes please. Isabella told me about you the last time we met."
"Okay, that is fine. You guys should have fun. I am running late." [Miss. Erica]
