Papa was just back from church, Momma met him and helped him take off
his one and only suit which he wear on special occassions. i greeted him, he answered with a smile, "how are
you my son",he said. I was about to escape from the question i saw
coming before he called me back, I walked back and stood in front of
him.
I am sure you have goodnews for me, tell me what was the result? , Papa asked; i stood in front of my Papa still and dumb, i was not sure if i wanted to tell him the result or lie. I really want this Job.
"Papa you know" i started talking softly like a dying man saying his last wish. You know i need this job Papa, i need this job to help in raising funds for my Tertiary education. "Yes, you do and I know that very well", he said stopping me from beating around the bush.
Papa, I looked down as i tell him the result " i got a job in a sex worker hotel, i was about to tell him the wage was his annual income, N25000 when he flared up, No No !!! he shouted, My daughter is not going to work in a sex worker hotel, i will never concur to that he shouted. I saw the anger in his eyes and I left the room.
Momma was sitting on the other edge of the bed, she couldn't say a word, she was on the fence.When i told her about the Job and the pay, she just became dumb even when she finally say something, it was "when Papa come in the evening he would give the final decision".
Taiwo came to call me after some minute that papa wants to see me, I saw Papa on the bed he was now calm and settle. I was happy but not sure, hoping Papa had consented when he finally opened his mouth he said, " Kehinde, I know you want this job badly but in life never give up your believe and Dignity because of your want or need else you will loose it all".
LESSON TO LEARN: never because you are in trouble give out yourself because you all keep on loosing. look at the story of Jacob and Esau and you would know better.
