Small Town Girl Story

I wake up early morning to meet up with the time for work, I say my morning prayer and head to the bathroom to do my usual routine, after that I went to the dining table I met my mum, my dad and my brother are about to go to school, I greet them and sit to have my breakfast and after I finish my breakfast I say my goodbye to them and my parent wish me good luck.

I get to work on time and I met other employees that are working there and the owner introduces me to them. I start working and some people that come to the restaurant give me tips and the work is somehow stressful but I just have to do it, it is better than sitting at home without anything. That is how my work is going and sometimes I take an extra shift if one of my colleagues did not come, the owner will ask me if I can do it.

After several months of working, I later enjoying going to work, one day after I come back from work, I met my Aunt at home and I am so happy to meet her because it has been like 5 years that have seen her, she is living in California. I sat beside her and we talk about a lot of things until she asks me which years am I in College, then my mum explains everything to her and she feels so bad because she knows how I like going to school because I believe that if one is not well educated, no one will allow you to work in a good company. I don’t know about other people but that is my own belief, when am I high school my school mate that are from rich families normally abuse the kids from poor families and I am also among the student that are abused. So when the night comes we have our dinner with my Aunt and she went back to her place.

After one week that my Aunt came back from California, she called me on phone and ask me when I will be at home that she wants to have a conversation with my parent and she want me to be there, I told her that I will be around on weekend and we talk about something

During the weekend, my Aunt came to our house as she promises and my parents are also around, my mum made some snacks for her, after greeting and eating the snack, we gather in the living room to discuss.

"Jenny what did want to discuss that make you gather us all together?" my dad said

"Ok, I will go straight to the point, what I want to say is that maybe you can allow Bella to follow me back to California, why I said this is that first, she can apply for a scholarship there second she can work and received good payment more than the payment she is receiving from the restaurant here, even she can do two jobs with shifting time and the little I and my husband have we will support her for her school fees," said my Aunt.

I won’t lie I like the idea and I am smiling right now but now I am looking forward to my parent reply most especially my dad because since I was born they never allow us, I mean me and brother to go on holiday or to visit anybody and stay more than 2 days, my dad will say I don't know what is happening there or what they are doing for you, so stay here with me, he will take us out to park, watch movies, and eat ice cream sometimes my dad takes us to some restaurant to have family dinner and sometimes with our mum alone.
