She narrated the dream she had and they prayed against it as they slept back.

"The week was on fast motion, it ran off quickly."

Next weekend, Happy and Chiso were about to plait there hairs, Mr uche reading his bible in the sitting room while Ngozie was pressing her phone.

Happy and Chiso left before Charles arrived.

"Papa, she said I should greet you sir" Charles whispered to Mr uches ears.

They heard a beep of alarm, so Charles moved towards the door to check who was there.
It was Mr Raj, he was also a landlord in their community and he was so good to Mr uche since when he lost his leg in a motorcycle accident.

He entered "How are you Uche", They exchanged pleasantries and he sat down.

The two children (Ngozie and Charles) left to their room.

"How your health, hope you're feeling good" Mr Raj asked.

"I'm sincerely fine my friend".

Mr Raj brought out a paper and a red pen, they both looked around and smiled softly.
Mr uche collected the pen and signed on the paper, it looked like an agreement on something between them.

Mr Raj put it back to his pocket and these conversations began.

Raj : It has finished like that o.
Uche : So I am almost about to pay it off?  Glory be to Jesus.
Raj : I'm really happy for you likewise for myself, but something is bothering that I want to discuss with you.
Uche : What's that?.
Raj : He moved closer to Mr Uche and said "Give Ngozie to me and I will give the remaining 700 thousands naira to you"
Uche : I can't understand please, what will you do with her?.
Raj: I like her and want her to marry my only son (David).
Uche : So because I owe you only 700 thousands naira? You're wicked and ingrate.

"I will leave for now, beep me if you count it as an opportunity"  Mr Raj said and he left.

Thanks for reading.
God bless you all
