Cost For Love - Season 1 - Episode 8

☆☆
”what should i do now” *inwardly* i need to speak with Teresa. Not again, so i didn’t even get to have her number,”.
.
Flashback: i threw the number to you buh, u didn’t turn back, so i left it there. *frank voice*

.
Frank’s voice, gave me the clue on how to get the lost number. I sneaked out of the house around 7:05pm in the night in search of the number. Though the road that leads to my school is hot and busy, buh i have this fear in me that mom might come into my room. I arrived at the school, sneaked in through the back fence, went directly to the place frank said the paper was lying, buh nothing was there. I looked around in disappointment. I was about going home, who i hit my leg on a nearby stone. Although, it wasn’t a serious injury, buh i needed something to clean to little blood that was coming out of it. I used a wrong paper which was lying beside me to clean the blood. I was about destroying the paper with the stain of blood, when i saw a hand writing that looks like Teresa’s. And in the paper, an address was written in it , while the other thing under the address was covered with my blood stain. ”could this be the paper am looking for” , well, the answer wasn’t within me. The answer was in the address. Only the address could tell. I nicely sneak out of the school, back to the house. I was in the gate, when i saw my mom sitting outside the compound, with her radio. It was a dead end for me. I was about giving up, when a thought came into my head. I threw a big stone into the bunch of zincs that was in the back yard. The noise got my mom’s attention, which made her to go into the backyard. I tiptoed into my room, and continue with my sleeping tricks. I heard my door opened by someone. she came into my room, looked at me, thinking that i have been in the house. After covering me well with the blanket, i guess she went to sleep.
Tiririririri, my alarm clock ringing. Since no school was in for me, i ignored the ringing. It was already 7:30 am in the morning, when my mom enter my room and said ”Son you won’t go to school today??” *tapping me on my body.

Oh my God, i jerked up from the bed, rushed into the bath room, took my bed, and was ready fro school. ”you better tell your mom now” my heart kept tormenting me.
I left the house by 8:21am, after eating my food. My mood changed automatically, which got the attention of my mom towards me.

Mom: son, re you alright?

Me:: am fine mom.

Mom: son, is there anything you want to tell me?

.
On part of me wanted to say yes, buh the other part prevailed, which made the answer to be ”No, i don wanna tell you anything.
.
I left the house without saying any more words to her. ”what will i do now that am out of school”, ??? Questions kept ringing in my heart. I was still in thinking mode, when i saw a sign board that was written ”Worker needed at so so so place. With the money i had on me, i transported myself to the location. ”can you do this job” the man asked me.

Me:: yes sir, i can.

Man: if you insist. We do pay on daily basis. So work hard to receive a better money.

Me:: can i start now?

Man: wow., that will be 9ice.

Me:: thank you sir. I really appreciate..
.
I started the factory work , which includes carrying of fertilizer from the main building into the big trucks. Life isn’t so easy. That was also the cost of love.
