Read Read: SEASON 1 EPISODE 20

Where do I get that kind of money? I had only 15,000 naira in my account. If I added the money Tola gave me, it still wouldn’t be enough to purchase the dress. I really wanted it. I picked up my phone and called my mother.

‘Mum, please I need some money. I promise I’ll return it once I receive my salary.’

She hesitated. ‘How much are we talking about?’

’40,000 naira.’

‘Ah, where do you want me to see that kind of money? I just sent finished paying your brother’s WAEC fees.’

‘Just send what you can, please.’

She paused. ‘I’ll send 30,000 naira.’

‘Thank you mum! I love you.’

‘I love you too. How are you coping with your new job?’

I stepped out of the boutique. ‘Fine. How’s the factory?’

‘My dear, Baba Ranti has started his own pure water factory. It’s getting more competitive by the day. Sales has been a little slow but we are pushing it. We need another truck.’

‘Mum, when I get settled properly, I’ll send money home.’

The next day, I walked out of that boutique with my dress. Then I stopped by a beauty shop to pick a perfume and eye shadow palette. I also got a foundation and some wipes, By time I stepped out of the shop, I remembered I needed a pair of shoes and bag but I haf barely 5k left in my account.

How much does a good bag cost? What about a pair of shoes? How do I survive the rest of the month?

My head ached so badly that I had to stop by a Pharmacy on Tola’s street to purchase some pain killers.
