Chapter 13

...I hated myself for what I did, I had so many regrets in my head, if I had known I wouldn't have called Sharon, if I had known I wouldn't have gone in with Chief if I had known I wouldn't have stolen from the chief, so many if I had known..seeing the money was another problem for me cos it was a constant reminder that I had traded myself for it.

I called my mother later in the evening of that day, mummy please which other person do you owe money I had asked her, my daughter it's an organization for money lending, I borrowed 300 thousand there, with an interest of 60,000, but I have paid 120,000 to balance 240,000, mummy said.....mummy please dress up and let us go there, I said, but my daughter are you telling me your friend's parents gave you that much? she asked concerned, actually bamami my friend's parent is Very rich, when I narrated our situation, they had compassion and gave me the sum 2 million cash, I said.....

My daughter ohh, aha, you said 2 what? Bamami asked anxiously,bamami two million, they are very nice, I said. Rehan I can't wait for you to take me to their place, these people are angels in human form, put a call across to them let me appreciate their kindness, she said, my head was spinning around cos there weren't any parents, you see mummy they left for America today, both of them are going for vacation, I managed to say, okay no problem, call your friend so I can appreciate her, she said. okay, ma, let me get my phone Inside.

Getting inside the house, I quickly placed a call across to Sharon to inform her of the situation at hand, and that she should play along ...

I came out with my phone and dialed Sharon's number, hello Sharon, my mother wants to talk to you, I said and handed the phone to her.

Oh my daughter, thank you very much for what you and your parents have done thank you for helping us so much, I appreciate it, I can't Thank you enough, you are such a good friend, God bless you and your parents for helping us so much, I appreciate, I can't Thank you enough, you are such a good friend, God bless you and your parents with kindness just as you have done for my daughter and me, God bless you, mother kept praying and thanking Sharon for over 15minutes..., in my heart, I was like, if only she knew what the truth was I said within...

Bamami and I went to the place she borrowed money, and we paid completely, getting home we had about #1,556,000 left. I brought out the whole money and handed it to bamami...., this is the remaining money, please use it to rent another shop and start up your business again, I had said.

My daughter, God bless you, you have taken pains and shame away from my eyes, may you know no shame in Jesus name, she prayed..but my daughter takes some of the money, and buy yourself some clothes, shoes, and bag, she suggested out of concerned and love, oh don't worry, I didn't need any of those for now, just start up your business and make it grow, that's all ma.
