chapter 14

   Same day, Karena on the other hand was leaving life running away from a man she knew was constantly behind her back to kill her and trying to be good on her parole so she can maybe be given freedom with out having to go back to prison. At the time, she stayed  at a friend's place and was apparently the most useless person you saw. She left the place and set out to find a job. She was going to get anything she can find.
She was out the whole day for hours upon hours and she didn't get anything. So, frustrated she went back home. On entering she met her friend sitting in the living room.
     "Karena, you're back. Were did you go girl?"
" I had to look for a job"
" what! You go to look for a job and you didn't even tell your girl. What if I had a job vacancy in mind?"
Karen's eyes grew wide as she rushed tower her friend. " you know were I can fine a job?"
" now why would I want to tell you"
" come on kendra tell me. "
Kendra lifts an eyebrow.
"OK fine I'll tell you why I went to prison"
   " now you're talking. So now?"
" sure now." Karena follows kendra out.
  They took a taxi, And when they arrived at the place, they got out of the taxi. To Karen's greatest surprise, she saw a big bill board on it was clearly written CTF BANK. She watched  in shock as  kendra  climbed the stairs. Out of a sudden, she reached forward and pulled kendra back.
  " where are you going? "
" I am trying to get you a job as planned " she said giving Karena a suspicious look. " what's wrong Karena? "
  " you know what, I don't think I need a job any more."
" what!"
Kendra exclaimed at a high pitched tone. " what do you mean you don't need a job? A moment ago, you could kill for a job and now you say you don't need a job. What's going on"
  " I just changed my mind OK. Or don't I have the right to?"
" not letting you off that easily girl. Spill or I  make you spill and I mean it."Kendra stares intensely into Karena's eyes.
  "OK fine. I scammed the manager with James and that's why I went to prison"
" oh my God. Girl. It's you every body has been talking about " kendra said as she raised her hand over to cover her mouth
   " you see, I can't possibly work here "
  " yes you can. No body knows how you look like "
  " but your boss does"
" so what? Who cares?"
" I do" Karena said with a firm tone.
" look, you won't even cross eyes for as long as you work here." 
" what's the offer for anyway?"
" ummm....... Janitress "
" I ....."
" want the job or not?"
" OK OK"
"At least I will get to come to work with my best friend."
   "That's the spirit. Now let's go see the person in charge"

   The two friends walked happily into the bank. In no time, Karena was  in and having a job. Which was more of a head ache than prison life because she had to sneak in and out of the bank paying close attention to the movements of Noah so as not to collide with him. Who knows what may happen if they collide.
She was equally confident she won't be there for more than a month. She was surely going to find another job since she worked at the bank and did her Job search.

Back to Our boy Michael who had dragged himself to Nathan's house.
     He rang the bell and next thing it was Andrew who came to the doors and opened it
   "I'm looking for the teacher"
Andrew seemed to be paying more attention to  Michael's swollen eyes. But Nathan heard the voice.
   " Andrew. Let him in."
" sure dad." Andrew answered as he watched Michael come in slowly.
   " Michael it's nice to see you...but why are you so teary? what's wrong? you look broke."
  Nathan watched as tears began to well up in Michael's swollen eyes.
" let's go  to my office "
Nathan said as he motioned for Michael to follow him
When they got into the office, Michael sat down facing Nathan.
   "What's wrong?"
Nathan asked.
"  I lost her. Why would God allow something this terrible to befall his own?
    "What exactly happened?"
"She said i was nothing and that I was boring and...."
The tears began coming like a river  ".......I don't deserve any thing Good.... I loved her. But she kissed another in my presence. Why did God let me see it? I never get any thing good in life not a good father, not a good mother And now I can't even get a good fiancée."
    On hearing this Nathan was overwhelmed at his sorrow. He knew just the right thing to do. He told Michael to wait while he called his wife to handle this case. He new that if a woman handled this one it will have more impact on Michael. While Michael waited, Susan came in having the most charming grin ever. She walked up to Michael and gave him the best hug he had had in years. He never imagined a hug could make him feel so loved and warm. After few seconds of quietness, Susan took a seat .
    "So Michael, what's wrong?"
" she broke up with me and cheated on me with a good for nothing guy in which I actually fine extremely not manly enough and not to mention his face.... You know I...."
Susan cut him short.
  "Michael,Michael. You should calm down. How do you feel?"
"I feel terrible and completely incompetent. How do you call a guy who can't even keep the girl he loves."
He said calmly as his countenance fell into a soar look.
" you are not incompetent. You must equally know that you can't keep any one who doesn't want to stay. You've got to let go. If what you just said is true then she is not worth it. Fine the lady that speaks to the king in you."
" but how could God let this happen to me "
" I think you better start thanking him. Would you rather that you know she is unfaithful  when you are  married or on your wedding day or worst?  The Bible says in every thing give thanks to God. He never forsakes his own. He is preparing a great girl for you." She pauses then continues. "But you need to fine a job."
  " yes ma'am  I'll do my best to. thank  you."
