Life of an illiterate - S01 E09

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 9

5 years flew by in just a wink. Juliet and Janet graduated from secondary school and had finally gained admission into the University. Although before they had gotten in, they worried about their brother and tried pleading to their aunt to try getting him a lesson teacher but she paid deaf ears. All their efforts to convince her he was sorry all went to drain. They’d know they had try to how all the ways they could but their effort wasn’t enough to refine him.

“What is your talent? ” Janet had asked him one evening alongside her sister who had been smiling all the while.

“Meaning? ” he asked skipping through a textbook in search of what it meant.

“It is not in the book silly. By the question I meant, what are you capable of doing without anyone teaching you. What do you like doing all the time? ”

“O! I love repairing things. Like cars for example” He replied with pride in his voice.

“Wow! Nice English. My brother has gotten an A+ from me” Juliet said with joy as she pinched her sister on the arm. Janet frowned.

“That doesn’t mean you will have to punish me. I wonder why you are so stubborn” Her sister grumble giving her a stern look. “Anyway back to my big brother, I think you should be a mechanic”

“What does that mean? ” Chris asked with interest.

“I am serious. Try becoming a mechanic. Try being independent so that you can save some money to take care of yourself and go for adult education. You should not depend on aunt all the time. I mean aunt has to stop giving you money” She tried explaining to him. He didn’t seem like the idea.

“Do you think I can do it? ” He asked.

“Come on big bro, I am very sure you can do it! With a sister like me, I am sure you can surpass all difficulties. Your boss will die as soon as he sees how beautiful your younger sister is” Juliet replied just before her sister could. Janet gave her one more stern look. She only twisted her nose. “Conversation is getting annoying. I need to leave”

“Hold on Juliet. You don’t have to joke with matters like this” Janet had let her know.

“Just listen to yourself Janet. You want my brother to be a mechanic. How pathetic.”

“It isn’t pathetic Juliet. It is also a job too and human beings like you are into it. Let him start from what he knows and upgrade from there. I am sure he is intelligent enough to learn fast. Don’t worry if education won’t get him there, skills will” Juliet finally nodded getting what her sister was actually trying to say. She stared at her elder brother and patted him on the shoulder.

“I agree with Janet. Start from there okay. You are going to proof to all those mechanics whose brother you are. You aren’t just anybody. Okay? ” Chris nodded and drew her closer for a warm hug. Janet joined in.
