I'm not going to wait forever for my cousin's response to Pog. This morning I got up with my file in hand and went to try my luck near Owendo. I went to the port, I visited all the companies there. under the sun, on an empty stomach, I walked throughout the area. Then I walked to Sobraga.
_Not co ? Not co ?
I was too angry, too hungry, to want to see someone who was going to do nothing but waste my time.
_Not co ?
I ended up turning around and looking to see where the voice was coming from. It was Emile, a former bizz.
Me forcing myself to smile: oh Emile!
Emile: since I called you. Where are you going ?
Me: at the station.
Emile: what to do?
Aah! You annoy me ! Even if I tell you what will you do?
me: I'm looking for work.
Emile: come first, let’s eat.
When we say to always be courteous to people. I was going to insult him when he was going to solve one of my problems. I got in his car and we went to a small restaurant nearby. he allowed me to take what I wanted, I still took dishes at affordable prices.
Emile: a pretty girl like you is looking for work. Mister does what? You have to stay in the house while he suffers under the sun and at the end of the month you eat the money.
me: I am old enough to take care of myself without relying on anyone.
Emile: let me see your file. What kind of job are you looking for?
Me: all kinds. I take everything.
Emile reading: I see. Well, let's eat first.
ah Lord thank you for sending me someone to feed me. After eating we returned to the Setrag (railway company) that's when I understood that he worked here. The men didn't mind looking at my ass and the women craned their necks to look at me. he took me directly to the HR manager.
I left this office with a job contract: train ticket seller. I start next Monday.
Me: thank you Emile, you don’t know how you save the day for me.
Emile: do you have money to take a taxi?
I'm also not going to push the envelope too far.
Me: yes thank you.
Emile taking my hand: you know that you can always count on me.
Me removing my hand: thank you.
Emile: see you Monday. You come find me I will accompany you to your post.
Me: see you Monday.
I can see from his look that he wants something but he won't get anything. At the moment I'm trying to sort out my life so I can get my daughter back. I don't need the fine words of a liar like Emile.
At home I went to the back of the compound to get some sorrel leaves. This lunchtime it’s a can of sorrel sardines with good white rice. If I could, I would add a nice ice cold coke but alas. When mom came we talked about this field story again.
if we invest in it, where is the proof that it will not come and take it away from us? The land is Anita's but she will not have control of it until she comes of age.
We decided to rent the studio and use the rest to plant crops. we're going to rent out mom's house and the rent will be used to fix it up. And we will build a house on Anita's land to live in. Time for me to make money and build my house on my mother's land.
