STRUGGLE OF IMMORTALITY AMIDST POVERTY

CHAPTER ONE

It began like a wave,until we could believe it's eventuality.In a village where hope was not hope neither by dawn nor sunset.Miyare ,a little village in the rugged slopes of Milima ranges,a hostile rural land,fertile without fertilizer,a place where determination between youth and adulthood had no transition,there lived a young exquisite lady named Phenny. Phenny was so determined to fight the odds in a slope where the floods of immortality had watered the hope of survival.
One cold morning,she left home to fetch the hope of food from a nearby goldmine,being a gorgeous lady,she was determined to earn from her beauty (in mining areas the beautiful earn from there body but not hardwork).She had that option since she was hardly chanced to see classroom.She was charged to feed the family and her siblings after the departure of her parents at an early age.
In a village where men were superior to women(the nature could tell)Phenny had to be a polygamous woman in order to sustain the family.This became Phenny's hobby, feeding men on her own body,sure, poverty always open room to immortality.
Phenny  was the pride of youth to Joab and Whitney.This family was at it's epics of poverty.A family where a day was determined by the feeding on a single meal.The only gift they had was life.Against all odds,Joab worked all his means to better the family status.He woke up before cork crow,and turned to sleep at the burning of a day.To fulfil the scripture,"Man was made of dust and to dust will he will return,"Joab died leaving behind a single woman with three kids.John,Job and Phenny.It did not last before Phenny's mother could succumb to stress due to the departure of her love.It was deep sorrow to the family and much to the fruits of their marriage.At the departure,Phenny was only 13 years.Her two siblings were 10 and 7 years respectively.
All the promises at the burial ceremony became a blur,and no one cared for this orphans.Life had to continue and so it did.
Phenny who was used to casual labour entwined with her brother John to get a meal.This was the worst of all experience they could have .
Due to lack of providence and defense to property,Joab's younger brother claimed his possessions with little consideration to his family.
Phenny had to get out of her comfort to at least take the parenting role.She begun from being a maiden and since this denied her chance to nurse her siblings' wounds,she opted out to begin snack supply to the nearest goldmine in the village.The little she could raise could only suppy regular food but other basic needs were assumed.
Due to the oppression of poverty,one day as She was walking through the street hawking her snacks,she met on tall,dark,rich old man,who came to spy the mine."Hello?"The man saluted."Yes sir...how may I help you please?"Phenny answered with a trembling voice.
The man busted into humour and asked in a sympathetic but sarcastic manner,"Good woman,are you serious?What's your name?Where do you come from?"She was surprised,she made an attempt to address each question but before she could even say a word,the man shouted"See this stupid daughter of Joab","Your mother Whitney thought she could succeed in her marriage after devoicing me for that poor,urgly man,now see,you are walking like a whore to feed what themselves could not feed,school what they could not school,the best they could do if giving birth"The man spoke
Phenny knelt at the man's feet,with deep pain and pleaded"Please don't look down on me,I am but a young girl,deep in sorrow,but I am optimistic to live to the fullest of life,my lovely parents burnt there oil to make ends meet,but we're met by the obstacles of life,dad,yes was poor but so loving,so caring,he died due to a chest problem that rose from heard labour,yes he went but still lives in our hearts,mom,the woman you said, succumbed to stress after the death of my father an  we were left three: I Phenny,Job and John"She was down on tears at the moment
The old man become but a little sympathetic and said unto her,"Young girl,Phenny,take heart,just do what you can to make ends meet,but please offer me your virginity and I will have to wash you with upkeep funds."This seemed a light after darkness to Phenny.She accepted the offer,went down to the man's heavy engine and the car speeded off.

CHAPTER TWO
That evening, Phenny got back home so exhausted but jubilant.She carried with her many delicacies.John couldn't withhold to appreciate her for her great achievement.She went in,took longer, before getting out from the house.When she got out,John asked"How has it been with you sister?",she answered "all has been well,maybe you?","Me too" John answered before and interruption by their younger brother Job."Yester night,I met mom,she was adorned in beauty,with white garments.She held me and begun to sing,"lala toto lala×4,mama yuaja na mchele",when I hesitated to sleep,she rubbed me on the shoulder until I was a sleep.""Did you also see her?"He asked his brother John,"She has give Phenny the food."He concluded without allowing any other to respond to his question.
It was from there where Phenny begun to narrate the entire incidence at the mine
"Today,the experience at the gold mine was not fair.I couldn't sell any of the snacks and as I was walking by,a old tall man appeared.He was so hash on me at first but after narrating my story to him,he had mercy on us and gave me the money to purchase the delicacies now with us.Glory be to God of our fathers!"She ended."God really loves us,that man must be a good one, finally today we may forgo the usual vegetable!"John projected leaving all off them in humour.
That night it was joy.It had been a century before having a taste of (fulu) the Phenny took advantage of the chance of merriment amongst them to ask his two brothers if they would love to join school.John denied "Who will pay the school fees? , I can't also go to be a laughing object of my mates due to my patched clothes." On the other hand,Job accepted eagerly.
It became Phenny's task to convince John to accept her proposal.It took weeks until she finally accepted to go to school,do his best and one day be a surgeon
Job at his tender age aired that he wished to be a lawyer and prosecute everyone who had denied them their belongings.
Such ambitions amused Phenny but she was amazed on how this dreams would come true since many a dreams were cast to the grave of warthogs.
Before sleep,they offered a pray to God .They believed their prayers were answered since their parents would plead with  some supreme being who their father was more stronger than and grant them their needs.

CHAPTER THREE
"John!John! Come and help me,John! This people want to chop my neck"A loud cry was heard .Since they were sharing the same mat,John hearing his name shouted stood up and shook Phenny to wake up since nothing was wrong.She woke up,Job too did.The three cloned together sharing the warmth of each other's body.It was almost the middle of the night.Ensuring their safety,they return to gather more dozes of sleep.
Morning came sinner than expected.The sun rays penetrated through the widow making tiny tinges on there faces.
The cows moored,the corkscrew evidence that it was yet morning.Hiting hammers could be heard from around.It was so sudden that Phenny had risen at sunrise that day.
She decided she couldn't prepare snacks that day but would go to the nearby school which was approximately 3km from there home.She then made her mind she could persuade the administration to allow her brothers as she try to ensure their study and dreams would come true.
John and Job asked to accompany her to school.She tried to ignore there request but Job was so persistent which made her give in to their request.
They washed their face ,took a portion of the last night's meal,prayed and left.
After two hours,they were at the school gate.She did freeze with fear on how she could conceive the teachers to accept her brothers.
John motivated her and they both went in all through to the head teacher's office.
"Tik tik,tik tik" They knocked in unison.A voice that Phenny recognized well allowed them in.
The secretary, a brown,tall seductively curved young lady with curled hair asked them to wait at the waiters desk since the headteacher was still making some phone calls.
They both patiently waited.
Soon,the woman who had asked them to wait told them to proceed to the headteacher's room.They got in.
"Good morning ?"The headteacher saluted them.Phenny was so shaken that she couldn't gather the courage to respond.This was the man who had speeded off with her the previous day.
John answered despite with much struggle "Good... morning...sir"
"Why are you so tensed beautiful girl?" The headteacher asked Phenny,"Forget about yesterday and speak up." He added.
She gathered the courage at once,told him about the brothers who were immediately admitted to Bidii Primary School.
