No one's POV
RUKKAYAH FINISHED BATHING her son Abdul when her husband entered the house,the poor man was so tired and sat on the sofa rubbing his temples
"Go and wear your cloth"Rukkayah told her son who nodded going inside the room,she came over to sit with her husband who was busy groaning like he was in lot of thoughts
"What's wrong my dear?"she asked holding her husband hand with her eyes full of worries
"The customs seized my goods Rukkayah,I spent all I had in those goods and right now we are going broke,how will I take care of my family"Suleiman said rubbing his temples the more
"Subhana Allah!"Rukkayah said covering her mouth "what are you going to do now?"she asked
"I don't know,I'm confused really"Suleiman replied his wife "I know someone maybe he might help me get my goods back"He added standing up leaving his wife in the sitting room
***************
Suleiman tried to get his goods back and all effort went to waste,he spent the last money he had and became broke,he couldn't feed his family,pay his children school fees and everything was getting worst so he decided to meet his friends for help
"Khashim you have to help me,things are getting bad for me,Aishah is writing her common entrance soon and I don't have money to pay for her fees, Qadeerah is writing her Junior WAEC too so you see things are cumbersome for me and we rarely eat three square meal daily"Suleiman said rubbing his hand on his head
"This is bad Suleiman,I never thought a day will come and you will be looking for money to do your responsibilities,you were a man who usually help people not seeking help from people and it just too bad I don't have enough to help you"Khashim said and sadness overwhelmed Suleiman
"There's no way you can help me Khashim? I don't care if it's loan I will try my best to pay later,I promise please I can't have my children stop going to school"he begged with desperation
"Hmmm!" Khashim said rubbing his beards when suddenly idea flicked in his head "there is this wealthy man known and called Mr Kandiri,he normally gives out loan with interest,I can take you to meet his friend who is also a friend of mine"
"Really?"Suleiman beamed with joy "thank you so much I will be so grateful"
"Ok then,you can come back tomorrow after I have talk with his friend"
"Thank you so much"Suleiman said leaving his friend's house
The following day came as expected and Suleiman went to meet his friend Khashim who lead him to Mr Kandiri's friend
"Are you sure you will be able to pay this money?"Mr Ismail asked
"Insha Allah by the special grace of Allah I will be able to"Suleiman said
"I'm asking you this because Rasheed is not someone to play with his money,he will do anything to take his money back from you"Mr Ismail warned
"I will be able to pay back"Suleiman said with so much determination
The trio left Ismail's house heading to Mr Kandiri's house,the gate man opened the gate for them ushering them inside the house
