Chapter 07
🌹Jennie p.o.v🌹
I woke up earlier than yesterday, I looked beside me, Mona wasn't on the bed, maybe she's inside the bathroom, I stood up head to the living room, I heard a sound from the kitchen so I entered and saw her mum.
"Good morning mum" I greeted.
"Good morning my dear, I just finish preparing the breakfast, would you like to have yours now?" she asked.
"I thought I woke up earlier, I want to help you, but I think I'm a little bit late, is there anywhere that needs cleaning?" I asked.
"I did everything already my dear" she replied and I sigh.
"That means I need to go back inside, I haven't brush my teeth nor take my bath," I said.
"Okay dear, go do that" she replied and I bowed slightly before going in.
I heard the sound of the shower, I know Mona is in there, I need to see Rosa before deciding, I can't just neglect my siblings because of my education, no one will take care of them, and I don't want mum and dad to mislead them.
"Good morning, Jennie why are you up earlier?" she asked with a straight face, coming out of the bathroom.
"I want to help mummy, but I guess I'm late" I replied.
"Even if you woke up earlier than this, she won't let you help" she replied.
She went to her closet and took out a shirt and trousers, isn't she going to school?.
"Are you not going to school?" I asked.
"Today is Saturday" she replied.
Wow!. I don't even know what today is.
"So, why did you woke up early then?" I asked.
"I'm still mad at you, stop talking to me, I woke up early because I need to go and see someone" she said.
"Go and take your bath won't you go to work?" she asked.
"Seriously, Mona the problem is that......"
"Jennie go and take your bath, mum and dad will be waiting, and dad is going to work" she cut me off.
I stood up and went to the bathroom, I don't know why she's like this, after Rosa she's the only person that understands me better, but why she changed overnight is what k don't know.
Thinking about my transport fare every day is even getting me more worried, from Seoul to Jeju by train is 2 hours and 26minutes while the fee is around 200wons, how much is my savings? how much is my income?.
I hope they could just understand me.
🌹Monalisa🌹
I understand Jennie very well but at the same time she needs to think about her future, she can't be with her siblings forever, if she kept getting afraid of what will be of her siblings if she leaves the side she won't achieve anything
in life.
I have a lot to do about this scholarship and I won't hesitate to do so, I don't kind skipping school, she has to go to school, she needs to mingle with delectable people, I know she will be favoured because she's a lucky girl.
After we had breakfast, I told dad to drop me at the next bus stop to her house. My dad is a driver in a big company and he always comes home to the company's bus.
I need to see Rosa, she's her sister and she will know the better way to convince her.
"Do you think Jennie will accept the offer?" my dad asked.
Dad, she will and she must, I won't stop until she accepts the offer, that's why I want to talk to her junior sister about it, and after that I will go to her senior sister's house, if we all talk to her she will accept" I replied.
"I feel her pain and I like her because she always thinks about her family before doing anything, you know she's like the breadwinner of her family, and that's exactly what makes her the breadwinner," my dad said.
"But dad no matter what she needs to think about the hereafter, whether she goes to school or not, make her family's happiness her priority, she will still leave them one day to build hers" I replied.
Well, let's hope she thinks the way we thought, when she's ready to go to school, I'm ready to give her my full support, I gave a friend around Jeju high, he owns a coffee shop, she can be working with him and spending her night insure the coffee shop, I can't advise her to be staying in the man's house because he's a drunkard and you know people like that can't be predicted, so in my opinion, the shop is better than staying in the same house with him" my dad said.
"On their exam, I meant the applicants exam, I will drive her there by myself, we will leave the house early in the morning and I will wait till she finishes the exam then we can come home together" he added.
"Thank you so much dad, she will go to that school don't worry, now that she has even seen wear to where she'll be staying, I know she also wants to go but the thought of how her family will survive is what's hampering her" I said replied.
"Let's hope she understands everything is for her good" he said and just them we got to where I will alight, he parked for men and me got down.
"Drive safe dad" I waved at her before walking briskly to their house, I hope Risa will still be at home.
"Good morning ma" I greeted their mum.
"Good morning my dear, your friend is not at home, hope no problem?" she asked.
"Not at all ma, but I'm here to see Rosa, is she at home?" I asked.
"Rosa? did Jennie send you to her" she asked.
"I don't know when you started caring about us, Good morning Mona, I'm here don't mind her" we heard Rosa's voice.
"I'm off to work, Jin let's go" she added.
"Where's Jin going?" their mum asked.
"I want to start working on weekends" he said and their mum replied "okay".
"That's all she can say" Rosa mumbled and hissed, she led the way while Jin and I followed.
"Good morning Mona" Jin greeted.
"Morning dear, but Jin won't working on weekends affect your school?" I asked.
"It will but I will soon quit going to school and start working too, our school fees kept increasing every day and I think it's the best time for me to quit, at least I can read, write and understand I will be revising at home, I believe there will still be an opportunity of going back to school when the time comes even if it means sponsoring myself" he said.
"You shouldn't be saying this, you're just thirteen years old" I said.
"I accept it as my fate because Jennie uses to tell that everything we are going through has been written as our fate" he said and I sigh.
"If Jennie wants to go to school, can you permit her?" I asked.
"Who are we to go against her?, even I will support her in any way I can, but I know she can't because of the bills" Rosa said.
"What if she's given a scholarship, and she needs to stop providing for you because she needs to face her education squarely?" I asked.
"Who cares about our provision, is she our parent? she's just doing what a good sister should do for her siblings, she should leave us and chase her dream" Jin replied and I look at him amused, he's such a smart boy.
"Maybe I should share the good news with you then" I said.
"Good news?" they asked.
"Yes, and the good news is that I registered Jennie as one of the applicants in Jeju-si high school" I said and they hugged each other.
"Jeju-si high?" they asked and I nodded affirmatively.
"Today is the best day of my life, you mean she's one of the two hundred applicants?" Rosa asked and I replied "yes".
"When is she going for the exam? I know she will be chosen, she's a lucky girl" she asked.
"In a month time, but guys, the reason I came here in the first place is that"
"Is that what?" Jin cut me short.
"Let her talk Jin" Rosa cautioned.
"I'm sorry" he said.
"Jennie said she can't leave her family, and I should cancel her name and register Rosa instead" I said.
"Which Rosa? she meant me? she's joking, I'm not going to any school, she'd better know that, I don't mind applying some other time but you see this time, she's already their student at Jeju-si high" she replied.
"I told her the same thing, even my dad promised to get her a private teacher and make an arrangement about where she will be staying when she gets there" I said.
"That means no morning shift for all of us today, we need to go see her and make a conclusion before it'll be too late" Rosa said.
"I was planning to go and see Sudan too so that we'll all talk to her" I said.
"Hope her husband isn't at home?" Jin asked.
"No, I texted her and she said he's not at home, but she doesn't know why I asked" I replied.
"Let's go, the work begins now" Rosa said and we headed to where Jennie usually do her first shift.
🌹Rosa🌹
We git to where Jennie usually do her first shift and we saw her cleaning the tables.
"Jennie" I called in a whisper.
She raised her head and I waved at her.
"Rosa? Jin? Mona?" she called and walked up to us.
"Is everything okay? why are the three of you here? It's too early" she asked.
"We came to see you, can you take a day off?" I asked.
"Why would I take a day off? I won't work at all today?" she asked.
"You won't be able to do the morning shift here today, you will come tomorrow if you're chanced, let's get going so as not to miss the second shift" I said.
"I can't do that sorry" she said.
"I can do it, don't worry I will go to the manager's office by myself," I said.
"Seriously?" she asked and scoffed before walking away.
She knows I will do it, I don't care.
"I did it already" she said joining us.
"What's the problem?, Mona is it because of the scholarship stuff?" she asked and I winked at Mona not to tell her the truth.
"What scholarship?" I asked.
"Don't mind her, I don't know what scholarship she's talking about" Mona replied to me and face Jennie.
"Do we need to talk about it after you said you're not interested?" she asked her.
"Forget it, why are you here?" Jennie replied.
"It was Sudan that calls me this morning that she wants to see the four of us" Mona lied.
"Sudan called to see the four of us? what happened again this morning, let's get going then" she said and Mona gave me a well-done smile.
We left the shop and went to Sudan's house, since she said her husband isn't at home, we entered their compound and look around to be sure none of her husband's family sees us or else there will be a problem when we're sure no one sees us we walked to her door and knock.
"Who's there?" she asked from inside.
"It's me Monalisa" Mona said.
"Okay just a moment please" she said and we heard the sound of the door.
"Good morning family, Mona you don't tell you're coming" she said as she opens the door.
"You asked to see us" Jennie replied.
"I asked to see you?" Sudan asked.
"We want to see you" I said.
"Wait I'm confused, we want to see her or she wants to see us?" Jennie asked.
"Let's go in first" Mona said.
"What nonsense are you saying, can't you answer my question!?" Jennie yelled and we all looked at each other.
I hope we don't end up seeing the other side of Jennie today.
🌹The young billionaire and the industrious girl🌹Chapter 08🌹🌹Sudan🌹When Mona texted me this morning if my husband is back or not and I told her he isn't, I thought Jennie was coming to see me because I don't see her response after that.I dressed my son up and made his food, my husband mightbe useless when it comes to taking care of me but he always make sure our son is okay, anytime he's coming back from America, he would get his foods, clothes and toys and I'm always grateful for that, even though he hates me, he still cares so much about my son.I was done feeding him, I couldn't watch any other thing than news, my husband refuses to subscribe, I'm tired of watching the news every day so I took my phone play a game when I heard a knock on the door, I asked who it was and Mona replied it's her, I went to ope
🌹Jennie pov🌹My lesson started yesterday, my teacher was friendly and encouraging, everything she taught me seems like gibberish to me because I'm yet to understand. But no matter what I will make them proud.I sat on the bed with my notebook, she gave me an assignment which I will tender before our lesson commences tomorrow.Before our lesson starts, she searched for the past questions of Jeju-si high and the subjects they teach there, that was where and how we got the idea of the topics she's teachings me, she goes deep into an explanation, and I commend her for her patience.My assignment looks like punishment to me because I don't get it."Monalisa" I called."Yes ma" she answered jokingly.Do you wonder why she isn't by my side earlier? that was because dad warned her not to get too close to me for now, and that's the only thing that can
🌹Jennie pov 🌹"Yes" Mona said happily when I agreed that we should hang out with her friend Shane.I can't believe I'm skipping tonight's shift for pleasure, that sounds funny though."What should we have first? we have a lot of snacks shops around" Shane asked."Jennie, choose for us" Mona said."Huh?" I asked nervously."Yes, you're the new friend here" Shane replied and I look around, the snacks were salivating."Why don't we go for banana pancake or black bean noodles" I said."You have a nice taste, let's go for black bean noodles first, then we can go banana pancakes and the remaining yummy snacks" he said and lick his lips.I chucked."That's great, but what are you doing outside in the first place, I forgot to ask earlier" Mona said."I came out for a fresh air becau
🌹Rosa pov🌹"Which of Mona's friend?" Dad asked and I scoffed."The one that brought what you were eating" I said, he looks at mum."Why are you quiet all of a sudden" I asked when they refuse to talk."Tell him we said he can't, why will he said he wants to sponsor his education, how old is he" dad replied."What are you saying, dad? his age doesn't have anything to do with the help he wants to render" Jin said."Will you shut your mouth! why will he send you to school? where does he see his own money that he wants to be oppressing people like us with it, as young as he is" mum said?"Oppressing you? he's just trying to help what's the big deal?" I asked."Help us? who needs his help? did we say we're not good with our condition? did you tell him you're suffering?" dad asked."Are we not suffering?, I'm not good w
🌹Jennie pov🌹"To me it's right, but honey why did you said it's wrong and what can be done to make it right?" Mona's mum asked."Let's have a sit, Jennie" Mona said and we sat across her parent."It's wrong and to be frank with you that's the response I'm expecting from them especially her father, Shane is a young boy whose parents are still paying his bills, and they don't know his parents what if he isn't as rich as they think, what if he stole the money he wants to use to sponsor their child's education, don't you think of what the outcome will be? or his parents don't even support it?""What I think can be done to make it right is that Jennie's parents should consult us first because they know Shane through our daughter when they get here we will invite Shane and ask him why he wanted to support Jin, we might also invite his parents but they are the busy type, so instead we will tell him to call the
🌹Jennie pov🌹"Jenni..." Mona's mum tried to call when I left the kitchen in rage, but I think she stopped because of the door that cracked open."Jennie?" Mona's dad called."Jennie, you need to hide I saw your mum coming this way, she might be coming to our house" he said.Mona and her mum rushed out of the kitchen."OMG!" She exclaimed."Dad I thought you left for work already" she said trying to catch her breath."I'm still around waiting for my breakfast, you look scared what's the problem? Anyway, Jennie go inside now, your mum will soon knock on the door" her dad said."Dad, I want her to see me, Shane informed us earlier, but I intentionally came to the living room because I want her to see me here" I said.I want her to see me, there's no point in hiding from her, I think it's time to follow Rosa's st
🌹Monalisa pov🌹I should have logged into the school website to check if Jennie is among the finalist but I was scared, I don't want to imagine if she isn't among them, how to break the news to her will be hard for me.Sudan asked and I told her what has been hindering me to check it, she promised to check it for us, so when she called me earlier that was what she told, I don't know why but instead of me to be smiling I'm crying instead."Mona, stop being dramatic and tell us what happened, did anything happens to Sudan or her kid?" my mum asked impatiently.Jennie just sat down looking at me. I'm sure a lot is going on in her mind."Jennie passed the exam" I said as I finally found my voice."OMG!" my mum exclaimed."Congratulations daughter" she said as pushed me lightly away from Jennie and hugged her tight.
🌹The young billionaire And the Industrious girl🌹Chapter 15.🌹Sudan pov🌹He left with my phone and after some minutes he came back with it."When the person I called on it calls back tell him I said he should get the car at the airport, come and get my son's cereal" he said and pecked the boy's forehead before leaving the room.I thought he came to stay, but all the same I'm happy that he's leaving now.I followed him to get the cereal, he got some toys and diapers for him too, I took them all out and he waved at his son before entering his car and zoomed off.At least he should tell me why he's here in the first place, but who am I?.I went back in to make some cereal for myself and the boy, we were eating it when the person he sent me to, called I told him he said h
