her to his mother as his girlfriend with
excitement inside me

sbe said pointing her fingers in the air..
she dragged her son out of the
restaurant, Angela watched her force restaurant, Angela watched her force him
into the car and they drove off. Angela looked around in shame,…
Everyone had minded their business,…..
This is not the first time her boyfriend has
denied her in public,..but denying her
before his mother is what she cannot
take…… . She thought about leaving the money, but she remembered how far the
money would go in helping her poor
family at home,.. She quietly hid the
money inside her bag and walked out of
the restaurant in shame,…….. She
entered a bike and went home. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

the room half asleep,
” So there’s no water in this house and
you allowed your children to go out to play, where will i get water to bathe now,
…. It’s almost time for my shifting, “the
man asked helplessly
” You shouldn’t be asking me that
question,.. You’re talking as if you dont
