Nora's pov

Life has been so difficult for my mom and I since my dad passed away.

It happened so sudden and unexpected, he had an accident on his way back home from work.

My father was an hardworking man, he struggled very hard to get us our daily bread, he wanted to make sure I graduated from high school and went to college and become great in future just like he was

He wanted to build or rather buy a mall or grocery store for my mom because of her great interest in business.

He wanted to make our family was a happy and fulfilled one but his plan crashed, it couldn't come to fulfillment

His accident was so brutal that he died on the spot before he was even rushed to a hospital

Dad has always been our breadwinner, but after this whole grief situation mom and I has been striving and struggling .

It got to a point that I had to quit high school and focus on delivering newspaper because it fetched me a little money which we managed

The one who was supposed to help after dad left us wa Cynthia, my dad elder sister but she's not even aware of the predicament that has fallen upon us because we lost contact with her and people who could help us contact her

Cynthia work overseas, Dad had got her a lucrative job over there. it's so unfortunate that we're suffering cus this is not how we were because dad was so wealthy and prosperous but everything fell apart in a twinkle of an eye

I can't believe an eighteen years old teenager like me is already going through slice of life

I got home stressed and weak

I packed my broken but manageable bicycle at corner of the house and stretch my hands and feet tiredly before walking into the house

I'm done delivering newspaper for today I said and heaved briefly

"Oh Nora you are back my mom beckoned onto me

"yes mom back and tired, tired and hungry as usual I complained

Oh my dear we would get over this quickly I believe, she said as she gave me a warm hug

Your food is already on the table I served it because I know you would be back very soon and hungry because you didn't eat anything before you left home she said .

Thank you so much mom I said and disengage from her quickly because hungry has seriously be battling wit me and at the sight of the dish my stomach rumbled and I began to salivate immediately

Nora I have a good news but it is somewhat bad too, my mom announced

"what? I blurted

" What news is good and at the same time bad , I asked her.

she smiled and cane over to pat my head gently

Eat first we would talk about this later"she said and I nodded then went to have my seat right in front of the appetizing meal mom prepared.

I wasted no time to bring out spoon and began to consume hungrily

*******
