Whatever It Takes - Season 1 - Episode 31

☆☆☆

Looking for Sally was almost proving futile . Each time I thought I had seen her, I ended up losing her in the crowd it was as if i was hallucinating.

But I was adamant. In fact I wanted to seek out all those that contributed to my well being.

It was by tagging along Sally’s trips to school that exposed me to education in the real form. Otherwise I wouldn’t have managed to eavesdrop to every lesson
like that. I vividly recalled what happened the day I was caught and taken to the head teacher’s office.

What was meant to be my doom ended up to be my salvation. Yes I had found out a while
ago that the head teacher was the one behind the last alms we ever collected, the one that literally changed our lives. I had gone to look for her and I was told she had been transferred to mutende
basic school. I wasted no time as I rushed to find her.

I believe as much as there is a reward for good doers in heaven, I feel if you can help it, you should show your gratitude to people who gave you a leap of faith and possibly be a solution to another problem they may face. If not to the same people then you should uplift others the same way you were uplifted and keep the chain of faith
going you can even do it anonymously just like Miss Kaoma had done.

so it was only right that I see her and thank her for jump-starting our journey to success and so she could have an opportunity to see that her hand did not labour in vain, that her money gave birth to more destiny helpers something that we probably couldn’t have done had we continued
begging on the streets. I had taken time to find out the best way I could help and I thankfully succeeded.

I gently tapped on the office door and she called me in. ” Good morning madam!” I said and she
seemed not to have recognised me at all as she fixed her gaze on me before responding.
” Good morning please sit down.” She gestured and I took the nearest seat. ” How may I help
you?”

” My name is Kasuba Mwenya…” I began and paused a bit to see if my name rang a bell but it didn’t. See people who do good things without expectations tend to forget about those good acts which of course the Lord does not forget at all.

” Have we met before?” She asked wonderingly
I slowly helped her recollect as I slowly narrated how I first met her omitting the fact that I knew
she helped us with our start up capital.
” Wow ! You have really grown. I honestly couldn’t recognise you. ” She stood up and came to
embrace me similar to the manner she had done all those years ago. I could see that she had
aged quite like fine wine as she maintained her slender figure and her face barely bore any
creases.

” It’s been ages. How are you?” She asked after we had settled down in one sofa together
” I’m fine thank you and how have you been? ” The lord has been good to me and I’m grateful. So tell me about yourself. Have you completed
school or married? You look splendid by the way.”

” Thank you so much and thanks to you and others who have come to our aid, I have completed
school. In fact I just graduated over a month ago with a bachelor’s degree.”
” Congratulations! I knew you had what it took the moment I la!d my eyes on you. What have you read?”

” Statistics, economics and finance BSc”
” Wow! that is truly impressive. I’m so proud of you.”
” And it’s all thanks to you!” That seemed to ring a bell she was a smart woman after all
” Wait, how did you know?”
” I met one of the people whose face I couldn’t forget. So I approached him to thank him and that’s
when he revealed that he was merely used by someone who chose to remain anonymous then I
remembered that the time coincided with the time you offered to help us out financially.”
” You are indeed very smart.”
” I have brought someone here to see you if I may.” I asked her as I stood up to go and get my way of repaying her
We walked back into her office and the shock that she registered was evident on her face.
” Annette!” The man called the head teacher by her first name . She stood up and froze like an ice
statue ” I’m so sorry I was so hard on you. The truth is my life has never been the same. I couldn’t
remarry because I was so hang up on you.”
She walked to where he was and stood inches away
” Jeff! After all these years? Oh God! I can’t believe you are really here. God knows I have
repented for my actions. I did you and your child wrong, when I accepted to be with you I should
have understood my role of being a mother to your daughter and I’m so sorry for what she went
through all because of me. I’m the one that should be asking for your forgiveness.”
” Kasuba how did you know?” She turned to me and asked me ” People had been talking about how horrible you are as a human being and so I decided to find
out why because I knew a side that most didn’t know and that’s when I came up with this
information. It wasn’t so hard locating Mr Kaoma but convincing him to meet you was the hardest
.”

” Thanks young lady! ” They said at once
” I have to go now and I will be seeing you around.” I excused myself to give them some privacy.

proud that I atleast did something good for her by reuniting her with her husband.
I decided to drive to kasasa market for some refreshments and that’s when my luck in my search
for Sally changed. I made the sign of the cross and thanked my lucky stars before I stealthily
followed her ……
