OH LIFE "I MUST SURVIVE" (FINAL EPISODE)

STORY SERIES

…those shops which only rich women kept. Adia moved round the shop as if she had done so all her life. The children too behaved as if they had been born into much wealth.

A child’s memory is short and Amoda was sure that even Tesa would soon forget that she was once a beggar’s daughter and that the early years of her life were lived by the

road side.

Adia cared for Amoda as if they were newly married. She did not allow her wealth to get into her head. She knew that Amoda had little or no money but it did not matter to her.’

When Amoda had rested enough he decided to go to work. He went to the Building Company where he was once a foreman. The Director welcomed him. Only a few of the staff knew Amoda. The old gate-man and the cleaner knew him and welcomed him.

Amoda started his work as a manager. He made up his mind to do a good job in order to repay the kindness of the Director. Amoda no longer had any money problem yet in keeping his home going.

One day Amoda did not go to work because it was a public holiday. After staying at home for a while he went to his wife’s shop just to keep her company and to help. He was busy talking to his wife when a woman entered the shop. She picked a piece of cloth and started to price it. Amoda looked at the woman. Her face was familiar to him but couldn't remember quickly whose face it was. He racked his brain and wished he had Tesa’s brain.

In Amoda’s curiosity he humbly asked the woman “Madam, I think I know you but I seem not to remember” “sometimes people often confuse other people to someone they know” the woman said. Amoda was still curious. He asked the woman if she ever knew a blind beggar who happened to be heavy with child. “I remember helping one deliver her baby girl some years back and after some months’ time I was transferred to another hospital but when I returned I heard of her death. I felt so bad for the poor woman” said the woman

“Yes! Yes!” cried Amoda. “You are the kind nurse who helped the blind beggar deliver her baby, I remember.” Amoda welcomed her and gave her a chair to sit down. Amoda hurriedly called his wife Adia. Amoda introduced Adia to the woman as a nurse and also gave Adia the seat he was sitting on and went to get another.

When the three were seated Amoda began to tell the nurse the real story of Jarin the blind beggar. The nurse however, did not like what Amoda did but she was happy that Amoda had paid dearly for his wickedness and has learnt his lesson. While they were talking Eta and Tesa walked into their mother shop.

“Good afternoon Mummy and Daddy. Eta and Tesa chorused

Good afternoon my children, how was school today” asked Adia and her husband

“School was fine. I had a classwork today” said Eta

“What about you Tesa?” Asked Adia,

“I didn’t have any classwork today but I was given homework” answered Tesa

“Good afternoon ma” greeted the children in turns after they had greeted their parents.

“How are you? God bless you my children.” Replied the nurse,

“Fine, thank you.” Eta and Tesa both replied.

Amoda called Tesa close to him and said to the woman “this is Tesa. She is the one whom you delivered on that day” “look how grown she is now, how time flies. I remember holding her in my arms as she cried her first. I remember the uncontrollable joy expressed on your blind mothers face as she held you in her arms for the first time. Oh! I remember. The nurse burst into tears and Adia comforted her.

Later on Tesa was told about the woman and what she did. Tesa was glad and she appreciated her saying. “What a kind woman. I love her”.

Since it was a public holiday, Amoda, Adia, and the nurse paid a visit to the cemetery where Jarin was buried. They laid flowers on her grave. Amoda had memories of Jarin, the good times they both shared and everything he did to her and he cried. Adia comforted him.

The woman was showered with a lot of gifts from Adia and her husband. She was so happy. She thanked them for their generosity.

Amoda worked diligently at his work place. His earned a salary more than enough to take care of his family. Amoda, Adia, eta, Tesa and the other children lived happily together.
