Freaking finally! A small smile crept to the corner of my lips as I read my acceptance letter to NYU over and over again. At last, my dream of becoming a certified nurse was going to come true!

Dear Miss Braxton,
On behalf of the Dean and the committee of admission, I want to congratulate you on your admission to the school of nursing science of New York University for the autumn semester of 2022. For...

"Janie!"

Dad walked into my room with a bag pack strapped over his shoulder. I stared at him with delight, because he always found one way or another to make me happy. And now, wasn't an exception. He told me last night that one of his friends offered to lend us my tuition fee. Immediately, my once sunken mood elevated into an excited one.

My acceptance letter came in one week ago and there was little or no hope for me. Dad wasn't financially stable, He sells fish at the market to sustain us every day. But these days, his fish business sales weren't that impressive.

On the other hand, the savings he kept in case of any future and urgent situation like this, got stolen from him. Yes, he was defrauded after investing all his money into a small profitable business. Although, when the sad news got to me, it shattered my heart into a million pieces. But I had to shrug it off to console dad. If I showed how furious and sad I was about the loss. I would make him feel worse.

And I do not want that.

I always believe in this notion that; no matter one's mistake, do not dwell on it. Rather pick your shit together and keep moving!

Ever since mom died six years ago, he had been the only one there for me. We prayed together, ate together, and laughed together. I even tag along with him to the market to sell fish.

"What's up, Dad?" I asked, folding my acceptance letter neatly, then I kept it back into the brown envelope.

"What do you mean what's up?" He arched a brow at me. "I thought I told you about my friend's place last night?"

"Of course," I responded with a smile. "I'm done, I just decided to sit here and wait for you to get ready."

"Alright let's go." He instructed and walked out of my room.

Taking a quick survey at myself in the mirror; I grinned in satisfaction and followed right behind him.

We walked out of our rented apartment and dad locked the door with his key. Afterward, his hand latched around mine as we walked hand-in-hand to the busy road to get a cab.

"Like how much is your friend willing to lend us, Dad?" I asked. "You know our rent will soon expire and that creepy old woman would come to rant our ears off."
