My ambition for money

Episode 1

It is essential to make decisions in real life, always targeting wise choices. The future remains uncertain, it is therefore important not to envy others. It is best to focus on what life offers and working for your well-being. By investing in your work, you avoid experiencing jealousy towards others. In the end, it is the work that allows man to free himself.

I was an ambitious girl who hates working. I was trying to lead a luxury life without having to provide efforts. My absolute dream was to become a great lady, an influencer recognized around the world. I aspired that everyone bows to my passage. My greatest desire was to get everything I wanted in life without having to take the difficult path.

I was far from imagining the consequences that would result from my decision when I made it. I completely unaware of the repercussions of my stupid acts. I did not imagine that it could lead me straight in the grave. What really happened? Here is my story, I invite you to read it.

My name is Safilia, I am 20 years old when it all started by switching to my life. We lived very happy, my family and I, until my long eyes led me on the path of perdition. I was in ignorance, I didn't know what I was doing. My father left us early. My mother fought to ensure the education of my little sister and I. I just got my baccalaureate.

I was very excited at the idea of finally being able to leave this cursed village. I can't wait to discover the city of Cotonou. I have often heard of this magnificent city, there are beautiful things there. I will finally be able to live the beautiful life that I have always dreamed of. I am really tired of this cursed village.

__Felications my beautiful, I am very happy for you.

__THERED LUC, I can finally pronounce the word: magic.

Luke is my boyfriend from the village. He loves me very much but he is a really poor guy. It does not meet my expectations. I don't want a poor guy like him, in addition, he is nothing other than a country. In any case, he is not my kind of man. I deserve much better than that. Before I went out with him only because he gave me money. It wasn't much but I still manage with it.

Luc came to congratulate me as soon as he learned my success.

__Luc now that you congratulated me, you can leave. I don't want my mother to come back to find you here.

__My love, why are you talking to me like this? I often come here to you and I have already met your mother several times but she had never pushed me back or forbidden to come to your home. Or is there anything I need to know? He asks with his innocent face.

__Non, just respect my decision and go from here before things get complicated for me. I said, turning his back on him.

__But I still don't understand why you send me back like that when I'm just here to congratulate you. You know very well how much I want your success. Do not deprive me of this important moment of your life. I just want to be there for you. I like to see you happy.

__ET then what else? What did you not understand? Do you want me to tell you in which other language that I don't want to see you here in the minutes to follow? What is the problem with you Luke?

I start to cry about him. In fact, I do not understand why I suddenly became arrogant towards the man who was always there for me, who sacrificed himself for me, who supported me permanently and who has never stopped handing my hand. I really wonder why it happens like this. Perhaps I realized that I no longer need him now that I am about to realize my dreams. It is time to clarify things, but for the moment, I must first express my joy.

Luke hasn't said anything anymore and leaves. I think it's best for all of us.

After Luke's departure, I put good music and I start dancing.

My mother returns from the market. She was surprised to see me with so much joy.

__Qu are you celebrating here? Ask my mother asks by placing her handbag on a chair that is right next to me.

__Maman, guesses a little.

__You succeeded, is that right?

__ Bravo mom, you know how to guess. It worked for me and you don't know how happy mom I am.

I say by jumping into my mother's arms. The latter hugged me strongly against her chest. I feel so good in his arms.

__ Congratulations my daughter, I am happy for you. I don't even know what to give you as a gift. I knew you were never going to disappoint me. Your late father would be so happy with where he is. He would be very proud of you my daughter.

__I know mom, I am filled with joy. I must also thank you for everything you have done for me and for my little sister. You fight for our future and I promise you that we will succeed to get you out of poverty. I will work hard to be able to realize my dreams. I promise you mom.

I trust you my daughter, and you know that? I'm so proud of you. Thank you my daughter, you pride.

__The the good dear maman.

__Viens in my arms my love.

She still hugged me. My little sister joins us later. We had a very nice evening together to celebrate my success. This night was very magical.

The next day, I am well dressed to visit my friends.

__Maman I go out to see my friends.

__Who my daughter but come back quickly. I need you at the market.

__Who a mom, I will join you later.

I leave the house and go to Lalia and Ruth, they are sisters. We have been friends since our childhood.

__ Hello my darling, how are you here? I said with a slight smile before introducing me inside their house.

__ But who do I see like that? Said Lalia throwing herself into my arms.

__ gently Lalia, you hurt me. I say trying to detach myself from her. She is a little too stuck to me and I don't like it.

__ Sorry, I was only happy for you. My joy has been overwhelmed since I learned your success. Congratulations my beautiful.

__ Thank you my darling.

__ Congratulations Safi, we are all happy for you. Said Ruth before moving my hand.

__ Thank you my beautiful, I answer by shaking her hand.

__ And now what is the next step? Lalia asked.

__ I will be able to leave this village now that I obtained my baccalaureate diploma. I always say, always keeping my smile.

__ If I were in your place, I would think about a small activity that could bring me money instead of wasting your university time. All this is useless in my opinion. I just advise you to think well about what you are going to do because ...

__ enough, enough of all that.

I didn't even give him time to finish his sentence. No, but what is the problem with Ruth? This village will never change. What activity can I undertake in this damn village to be able to get my family out of poverty?

__ You get angry yet I tell you the truth. She continues.

__ I said Ruth enough, no, but it doesn't go head? Look at me well and tell me if I look like someone who can continue to live in your cursed village? Just tell me you are jealous of me because I was lucky to study and you no. I know what you are playing. You're just jealous of me, Ruth.

__ Me, jealous of you? And why then? I just tell you the truth but if you find that I bother you with my words, then I apologize. She said before turning my back on me.

I breathe deeply after departure before turning my heels. Lalia catches up with me to the portal.

__ Safilia please don't go because of my sister. You know very well how it is. Don't get angry my beautiful, I'm going to talk to her.

__ Yes, you better warn her next time when she is going to talk to me about anything, she has to think well.

__ You're right, don't get angry, I'm going to talk with her.

__ Very well, I'm going, she annoyed me. I wanted to share my joy with you but your sister spoiled everything.

__ forgive it, she doesn't know what she says. I myself am already tired of this village. I just wanted an opportunity to open for me so that I can leave this village. I can't take it anymore.

__ You are my best friend, I can't let you down. As soon as I leave this village, I will come back to get you so that we go to live in town. Just give me time to put things in place before you make a comeback.

__ Are you really going to help me leave this horrible place?

__ This is a promise and I will hold it, count on me.

__ As I am happy, my beautiful, you are the best.

__ please, well I will go home. My mother would be waiting for me.

__ I take you away then.

__ as you want.

Lalia and I have made the way together until I arrive at home and what do I see? Luke, who is waiting for me at home. What I don't understand, he even chats with my mother when the last time, I was clear with him. What does he don't understand? I don't want a poor guy like him.

I approach this old man who believes herself everything allowed and I shoot him by the arm.

__ Can you tell me what you don't care about at home?
