ONLY SON

Hard times

Rahman!! What do you need such an amount of money for??? I gave you more than half of that amount few days ago and you're back again demanding for more.
Mum!! I'm a big boy and you're not supposed to know virtually everything I do with my life.
Big boy right??? Then go work hard for your own money, ion even see anything good you do with that money. Moving from one party to the other, causing troubles here and there , do you wanna kill me???
Mummy!!! Are you going to give me the money??? I'm not ready for your preachings, you're not strong so please don't worry much about my life, I'm okay, just give me what I always ask for.

Bun!! I'm expecting some money from some costumers I supplied beans to, I promise to pay your fees immediately I get it.
Why don't you let me go to dad? He can somehow assist us with some amount. I do think about that but ion want that witch he calls a wife to maltreat you. You know she doesn't like us so she uses the least chance she gets to hurt us.
I can call him on phone, I just pray he acts nice because we don't really depend on me .

Daddy!! Please Friday is the deadline and I need to pay my fees. Bun!! Do you want me to steal?? I said I will give you the money when I get some so please don't force me, I'm busy at the office now.
Rahman?? What are you doing here?? You're supposed to be in school. Dad I need some money , I'm broke and I can't stay in school without money.
What do you do with such huge amounts??? I spend a lot on ya and I see no good performance in your results, are you serious at all??
Dad!! The teachers are not qualified so I don't understand what it's been taught at school.
Why do you have the administration?? You can report any problem you have to them. I had wanted to transfer you to a different school but you keep stopping me all in the name of " my school is the best " and here you're complaining about your teachers. I need to come to your school,my money can't be going waste, I don't pluck them from trees, I work hard to get them.
Just give me the money I'm asking for and I promise to improve next term.
Go to school, I will transfer some money into your account but I will still come to your school.

Mummy!! Tomorrow is the deadline and I still haven't paid my fees, I can't afford to resit till next year, it's going to be my fifth time of resisting.
My friends have already completed the university and some are even in their final years. Mum please do something, I need to move forward too, help me.

Memuna's POV
Tears rolled down my cheeks as I heard such piercing words from my daughter. It's never my wish to see her that way, it just hasn't been easy single handily taking care of seven girls. Bun has still not graduated because I can't afford her fees, Farida just entered the university after spending almost 23years in high school,Iman, Isa, Kabirat, Tamiya and Mubash are in Shs 1, Jhs3, jhs 1, class 6 and class 3 respectively. They've all outgrown their classes but lack of money has made it difficult for them to move on. It got to a time when they all had to drop out of school to help gather some money for their education . It's not my wish to see them suffer but there's nothing I can do to help. Jalaal doesn't help matters at all, he only supports when he feels like and his support is not enough to even cater for Mubash.
Ya Allah!! I've been patience for long, please wipe my tears, I'm beginning to loose hope, my strength is dying out.
My rent is almost up and I need to renew it, Bun's final year's fees is on my neck, I need to pay my debt before I can be given some beans to sell, the other kids would be resuming school soon and I need to pay their fees. Suicide would have been an option but my kids always give me reasons to stay. I know everything is going to be fine but my problem is when? Everything seems to be delaying, I need to be happy too Allah, I'm your humble servant.

I don't think you wanna be a member of this gang, you can't smoke a common weed, so why are you here?? Do you think it's all about paying membership fee?? We need hard guys in this group and not daddy's pet. Smoke this weed or we're going refund your money and kick you out.
Remember Rahman! This is only gang that keeps the school going, it's a privilege to be apart of us so don't miss the opportunity . Be wise and do the right thing, opportunity comes once and is hardly recognised until its lost.

We need to visit Rahman's school Ruki, he's just 13years and i need to know what he uses such huge money for at school. His results keep moving from bad to worse, I see no improvements, he barely stays at home and I have no time to check him. You being the mother give no fuck about him , he's our only son doesn't mean he should misbehave.
Jalaal you talk too much, give the child some freedom,allow him to enjoy like every rich man's son does, don't stress my boy for me. We're in the 21st century and you expect everything to be the same, technology has changed the world so deal with it, you can get him extra tutors at home to help with his studies.
