Chapter 79

"Congratulations to you Mrs Lisa, we now own a house in our estate, '' the head manager said to her as they both shaked hands together.

As soon as she was done buying the house, I needed to call her friend immediately.

"Hello babe how are you doing? Just purchased the house and it seems to be a very nice place." She said to her friend on a phone call.

"Really? Congratulations my friend, it's very nice seeing you have just met and I promise you will not regret it." My friend responded.

"Yes, no one would ever imagine that you live in that area." Her friend said again.

"God please I need a favor from you and it is quite important." Sharonsaid to her friend.

"Really? If it's a favor then I can render it to you." Lisa's friend said.

"Ok, I would like you to come over to my place, you know that I did not want anyone to know about my relocation, that is why man you decided to beg you instead, please I really wished you to come help me." Sharonsaid to her friend.

"Are you serious about this, like I really do want to know if you truly mean what you have just said?
Like, they're bloody friends for crying out loud, why on earth would you beg me before you tell me that I should help you out packing your things?
You know that I'm really disappointed at the sound of that? If I cannot help you out with just a little thing like that then what are friends for? Please I did not like that." She said to get a friend as happens to be a bit aggravated after hearing her friend beg her before asking her for help.

"Ok, I'm sorry if I asked you with the wrong method of approach, I only did it that way because I felt you've been very busy lately, and you would not have time to help me with the stuff." She said to her friend.

"No! You shouldn't have thought that way, no matter the condition I find myself in, I would always try to help my dear friend out." Her friend said to her,

"Ok dear, see you in the evening'' she said to her friend as they both ended the call.

She walked down the street immediately after the estate, she covered our hair alongside her face with a headscarf, it was capable of covering her from people on the street to recognise her,
She was even able to buy some stuff around and nobody could see her face that easily, the ones that could see how we were not able to recognise her at all.

The street reminded her of her past days, when she used to have some friends on the street, they used to play and do a lot of fun stuff together, and it's already over 15 years now, she 's not mature and can not do stuff like that again.

All have sinned and are not rich and do not live around the street anymore, most of them are company owners and some have turned into celebrities, while some have gone to meet your heavenly father.

"I remembered when I said the death of Daniel, it was so sad because you used to be very close friends, I cannot just imagine that the guy died so young, he died because of poverty, people around the poor neighborhood couldn't help his parents, all they could do was soon laugh at them,
Daniel was so sad, he decided to make a way for himself and his family, but there was little or no opportunity for him, when he went around searching for job,
Some guys gave him an uncertain work to do,

He didn't know what the job entails, but they were willing to pay him as much as he asked for, he wondered how that would help him on his poor family, he decided to collect the job and do whatever they want him to do, they gave me some bags and told him to deliver it to somebody with a very dark and scary Street, he carried the bag I'm seriously going to the street, she wasn't scared at all and you was ready for the worst because, we focus more on the money he was yet to receive when is done with the job, they gave him a particular time to be done.

Aside from the fact that they did not tell him to what the job is all about, they did not fail to tell him that it is a bit risky, and immediately as he is done delivering the bag, he should starts his bike immediately, and leave that area as fast as you can, they told him not to spend even a second after dropping the bag.

He was told not to discuss anything with the person that will collect the bag from him, and she tried to make his face strong, and not to let them know that he is quite young.
He couldn't do stuff like that but he had to try his best because, it was a matter of money, poverty castrated him, it makes him more eager to do anything, she did not even care to know what anybody was about to tell him anymore, he tried to focus more on the money that he would collect, and how supportive it would be in terms of helping his poor parents.

There was a day he walked up to me, he told me that life was already so we can see him and his family, and he is ready to do anything in order to embrace life and the people it bears in him.

He even asked me for some money but, at that point in time, my parents had not even given me my allowance, so I was not able to give him anything. I only gave him some food to eat, and sheltered him a bit with some clothes I bought for him at the supermarket.

He told me about this job, and I told him that I wasn't sure about it, and I do not like the way it sound at all, although, you have him telling me about it does not mean that he was going to change his mind about anything, he was only telling me because she knew that I would be a bit annoyed, if anything goes wrong and I did not tell him earlier.

He went on with his plans, and did not listen to anyone that told him that the job was not straightforward, I came to visit him that evening but it was so unfortunate that he wasn't around,
I went to our school, I search for him around your place but I couldn't still find him anywhere,

I literally went around the entire village asking people show me he was but unfortunately for me none of the villages or rather people in the street knew where he was, I don't know why but I had a very bad feeling that something bad might happen to him and that was why I did not even have a good night's sleep that day, I wondered myself about his whereabouts, and it was so painful that I had no information about where he was, I did not even for a minute get my head off the thinking about where it would be and what he might be doing what baffles me the most was that his parents had no idea about whereabouts.

When I met his closest friend, I asked him where his friend was, and all he could tell me was that his friend told him before leaving that he was on a journey of hustle, and he would not be returning this night, be back home the next.

Patiently for him to come home, not even close my eyes throughout the night, I jumped up from my bed. The time was already past 10 in the morning, and I slept during the night. That was why it was so hard for me to wake up.

My parents were wondering why I was so eager to leave the house so early in the morning, asking me but I brought a lot of excuses, I told them that I was only going to the gym center,
They did not believe but, I have never been serious like the way I was that morning, and that was why they did not bother me again, they gave me the permission to leave, and when I left the house it was already 11:00, I will lost down to Daniels house, and when I got there what I saw was a gathering of people in tears, and a boy who was lying flat and dead on the floor.

I could clearly see the hole that day bullet left in his head, and I was left with no other choice than to cry, when I got back home I told my parents about everything, and how the innocent boy has just died because of money, right in their phones I made a vow that I would never see any other person die like that because of money, I was practically going to help everyone who suffered in the street, even though I might not have enough finance to bring them to the top, I hope them with a great business plan rather than them going into a legal businesses.

My parents were in full support of that, and my dad was ready to help me financially.
It was how I was able to raise a lot of my friends from the street to where they are now, but it's a pity that only a few of them even remember that I once helped them."
Sharonsaid to the woman that she had come to buy some stuff in her shop, a discussion came up by a few women in that same shop, and Sharoncould not keep it all to herself.
She had to share her own experience.
