Amaka is a very smart and intelligent manager of a restaurant, working with all her heart and putting everything she has into her job.
She was quite happy because she just got married to the love of her life. The husband worked as a teller in the bank but they did not have much money so they were managing the little they had.
They were discussing one day and the husband told her that one of his friends is requesting him to come abroad because there are opportunities there.
She was not in support of it. She said that they will continue the way they have been managing. The husband was persistent and soon , she had no choice but to support her husband's decision.
She gave him all her savings and even had to loan some money for him to travel out of the country.
On getting there, he called his wife to tell her that everything was a lie. The wife was not happy because she warned him about it but he refused to listen.
“What are you going to do now?”
“My dear I don't know but one thing I know is, I'm not coming back. I will stay here and see whether I can get something to do before I plan on coming back.” the husband replied.
“Okay honey, but please be careful.” Amaka said.
Two months after he travelled, she did not hear anything from him anymore. No calls, no text messages, nothing. Amaka was worried because that was not how she planned to live her life and she was pregnant already.
She could not concentrate at work, so her boss decided to lay her off because of her incompetence. She was left with no job and no one to cater for her and the unborn child.
Life became so difficult that she could not pay her rent again. The landlord kept demanding for his rent from her but she had no money with which to pay.
The caretaker of her apartment was very helpful by talking to the landlord to give her some time to look for the money.
One fateful day, she received a call from an unknown caller telling her that her husband is dead and that forced her into premature labour and delivery.
After her giving birth, she told the caretaker that she will move into a smaller apartment so that she will be able to pay since her husband is no longer alive.
“You don't have to move my dear, I have someone you can split the rent with.” Said the caretaker.
“No ma, I don't want anyone to stay with me because I don't want to have an issue with anyone.”
“What if this person is your friend,” she said.
“Who is she? Amaka asked.
“Don't worry you will see her when she comes.”
“Thank you ma for all you have done for me and my child.” Amaka said with a heart of gratitude.
“You don't need to thank me, I'm doing it for my daughter.” Said the caretaker.
Two weeks after her conversation with her caretaker, she heard a knock on her door and when she went to open it, to her greatest surprise, It was her long time friend.
She was shocked because this was the person that threw her out of her house claiming she stole her man.
She had no choice but to accept her as her new roommate, since she was not able to pay the full rent. But Bisola became a thorn in her flesh. She turned her into a maid in her own house just because she lent her money to start a business with the agreement to pay anything she had.
This continued for months until one day she could not take it again. She reported it to her caretaker and Bisola was asked to pack out of the house.
Amaka started doing home delivery for people from the support she got from some of her friends that genuinely cared. She became happy again and she was satisfied with the little money she was making.
Years later, Amaka became a boss lady and her business was striving. Amaka found love again and she lived happily ever after with her daughter.
