I accept

Cherry

Today was very stressful and hectic I packef my stuffs back into my bag fully changed out of my work outfit I started walking out of the changing room I meet Molly and Margret at the hallway

" Gosh girl that man nearly shifted my womb molly exclaimed

" Mine wasn't that strong but the pay was cool Margret added

" Hey girls I said strolling out

" Hey cherry only one beauty queen molly screamed

" Hey miss beauty our Virgin Mary Margret added

I rolled my eyes they're used to making gest of me most times they call Me naive beauty sometimes baby

" See you girls tomorrow I said walking away so they won't start up with their madness

" Alright bye they both replied

I wonder how they really enjoy sleeping with different men for money sighing I strolled to the counter

" Cherry Ms Fiona called

Not again with this woman I walked to where she stood " better think about it your brothers life is at risk she said tapping my shoulder before leaving

I left the bar with a heavy heart

I got home feeling so tired and confused I met ma'am rossy at the seating room she was knitting

" Welcome miss cherry she said smiling I walked to where she sat and hugged her she hugged me back patting my back

" I went to the hospital today she said I freed from the hug staring at her

" Me too I said painfully

A tear dropped down her cheeks

"C'mon not now ma'am rossy I said hugging her

" Where are we supposed to get that huge amount of money from she cried out I just have $60 here but it's not even enough for the surgery she sniffled

" It's alright I will just find a way out I said

She tapped my head" silly where are you going to get that huge amount of money from

I bit my lower lips

" I guess I will just borrow from my Union ma'am rossy Said

"But.....

"No but child just go upstairs freshen up and come down for breakfast your sister is not yet back from school ma'am rossy concluded

" That's true haven't set my eyes on her I will be upstairs I said heading upstairs thank God my father was able to secure a house for us

Getting to my room I sat down on my bed trying to digest what Ms Fiona said to me today God like how will I give my body to a man that's not even my husband talk more of my boyfriend just for money like how

But I can't watch my brother die no way

I will do everything possible to save my brother I don't mind if I lose my life on the process

I picked up my phone dialling Ms Fiona's number luckily she picked up on the second ring

"Hello dear she said from the other end

"I accept I said a tear dropped down my cheeks

" Am sorry dear I wish there was another means for me to help but I don't even have that huge amount of money to give am so sorry but I promise to link you up with someone that would help Ms Fiona said from the other end

"It's alright I promised my brother to save him and I will do anything and everything possible to save him good night Ms Fiona I said hanging up not even waiting for her reply I know that was rude but I can't discuss further

I took off my clothes and dragged myself to the bathroom staring at my reflection on the bathroom mirror more tears rolled down my cheeks

Dear body am so sorry but I have to save my brother he is the only family I have and I can't stand the chance of losing him I have to do it

I used the back of my palm to wipe my tears before turning on the shower I breathed in heavily and out before shutting my eyes so the water can settle my nerves
