Chapter one

On a very sunny afternoon , Sophia set out to buy groceries.It was a busy day,her mind went to and fro about the health of her mother and the financial state .She closes her eyes and breathes in as she recalls that unfateful day,she remembered jogging happily from school and announcing her arrival .

She remembered her father's teary eyes and Edwards reassuring hands on her shoulder as they broke the news to her , living with a Cancerous patient wasn't something she could ever imagined could happen .

"Edward I'm home ." She announced as she entered but she got no response ,then she heard faint whimpering coming from the room,she gently opened it and saw her dad and Edward holding her mother's hand .

"Dad", what's going on ,she asked Edward gently took her hand and squeezed it as gently reassuring as he could.

"Mum's gone Sophy , She's finally ended her suffering ."

What do you mean gone , Sophia asked like she didn't understand what he meant.

"It's okay now Sophy, we won't have to see her suffer anymore".

But Sophia didn't want her mother to die ,she cried out to much for that , even though it pained to the bone anytime,she looked at her mother's hairless body; although it was selfish she still wanted her mother around her ,she wanted to hear her voice and feel her touch but not now ,it was all over now ,she was gone.

Being a poor family,the funeral was a bit shabby one and after that Sophia had to find a way to later for herself so she became a dry cleaner to cater for herself and her family.

Everyone in the neighborhood loved her because of her kind nature so for a while she lived in peace.

Well not until that encounter at a subway station , when she was peacefully stiffening her belly with a really chessy hotdog then she spotted a richly dressed classy lady impatiently waiting for something and that moment she envied her .

"What a life , l wonder what's making her so pissed".She said to herself then all of a sudden ,she began walking towards Sophia's direction,total concentration on her phone but she didn't notice the open drainage hole in front of her .

"hey"!! Sophia called out , but as expected She didn't hear ;

"Why are rich kids always like this, she ran just before the next step would have sent her to her maker , Sophia pushed her away from it in the process smeering the expensive cashmier with cheese .

"You okay?" Sophia asked when she saw Charlotte's bewildered face .

"What just happened."She asked slowly

"well you were just about to fall into a pit so l was kind of...??

"No, no, not that ,did you a random stranger just touch me on my skin ". She asked again .

Look lady l don't know about you but if someone is saved this way,the best thing to do is to thank them isn't it ?"

Charlotte closed her eyes in disbelief.

"I don't think it requires touching does it ?"

"I tried to tell you but you didn't listen or hear me.

"And l guess you just had to soil a 2million dollar cashmier with those junks you eat " pointing at the yellow stain on the arm of her clothes .

"l'm sorry about that it wasn't intentional ". Sophia apologized .

"I just hope to never see you again ".She cut in and entered into the awaiting car that just arrived.

I'm very sorry ... I'm late ma'am the car..."

"Just shut up and drive "

She interrupted she swore under her breath .

"Of all the luck , l choose the best dress for him today just take me home okay?"

She said widely .

"Not even a thank you !,such an arrogant tramp "

She said to herself .

Hey Sophy !! " A voice called Sophy looked up and her lips parted with a smile
