It's another wonderful working day for mama as the morning breeze blows slowly and the sun has started rising gradually, The old woman glanced at the clock on the wall and looked away
"It's just nine o clock, the sun rise earlier today" mama muttered to herself as she dragged her leg to the bus stop, waiting patiently for any bus,after few of waiting,a napep stopped by for her to come in while the driver started stating his charges,she simply nodded her head and get in side,she was trying to balance herself when the vehicle started moving.
Mama got to her destination and stretch fifty naira to him
"Please my son,I don't have enough money on me accept the fifty naira" the old woman pleaded to the napep driver looking apologetically
"Who is your son mama! I know who my mother is...and I know how many kids my mother gave birth to,don't tell me that..I said it before leaving the bus stop that hundred naira is my transport fare,you don't talk all this while,we naw get here,you are telling me what is not right! I will collect my full money" the driver shouted throwing his two hands up in the air while mama mood changed to sober mood
"Please dear accept it,you won't know poverty all your life" mama prayed
"Mama or what are they calling you?you are wasting our own time here o,we have allot of places to get to....stop taking our time and give him his money or what's all this"a young lady rudely interfered frowning her face.
"My daughter,am sorry for keeping you all waiting please help me to beg this young man to accept my money" mama pleaded once again.
"When you don't have money,u supposed not to come in or what kind of thing is this early in the morning" the driver complained
"I will pay for her" a young guy said
"Mama keep your money,I will pay everything" he said while mama thanked him before leaving.
She got to where she normally work every day and met mama cook the owner of the canteen in front of her shop waiting for her to get closer,she could sense the rage in her eyes as she keep getting closer to her.she held her chest due to fright and dragged her weak legs faster.....
She didn't know what to expect from her boss
Hope she won't send her away this time around?
Those questions run through her mind ....
