"Amy what I want you to do for me is very simple. "You work for your madam right? "Yes ma",Amy replied. And you also take care of her daughter, Sara? ","Yes ma",Amy said again. "Don't freak out from what I'm about to tell you, "okay ma" Amy said. "I would give you a powder to put into Sara's food, I want her dead and you would help me"."Godforbid ma",Amy shouted. "Please I can't do that to my madam, she has not done anything bad to me, please I can't do it" . "The pay is five million naira, I'm dropping my card, call me if you change your mind" she said as she stood up and left. Amy watched her in shock. She couldn't even imagine doing that kind of thing.


Sara was lying down in her room. She was still feverish. The doctors had said that the fall she had didn't cause any permanent damage and she would recover soon enough. Amy came to serve her lunch. As she was feeding her, she looked at the poor girl and asked herself why someone in her right senses would want to kill an innocent child .She concluded that this world is a wicked world. As Amy was thinking about all these, her phone rang. She answered it

. "Yes,who is this? "."I'm doctor Jones and I'm calling from Peacemaker  hospital. Your ward was rushed in here from school. He slumped and fell and the results are not encouraging. We've found that he's long had severe aplastic anaemia. We would like you to come to the hospital to discuss the details."."okay, I'm on my way" Amy said amidst tears. "But he was fine when he left this morning " Amy wondered. She quickly left Sara room to go and collect permission from Rose so she could leave.


" Madam, your son has been suffering from severe aplastic anaemia"."Doctor please I don't know what you're talking about, he was fine when he left the house this morning, he has never complained of being sick".Amy retorted. "Ma'am, I dont know of your personal issues, what I know is that your son is suffering from a terrible illness, it's in its worst state and he needs a transplant as soon as possible or else it could kill him, and the surgery can't be done in Nigeria. We would have to fly him to India "."Doctor how much is the transplant? Amy asked" It'll be roughly rounding up to four million naira". Amy's eyes widened. "Madam, when you're ready with the money, you inform us so that we can make necessary arrangements with the hospital there in India. Amy silently walked out of the doctors' office. She was quiet because there were many things going on in her mind. She was having different feelings. She was feeling pain, fear, worry, panic, and over all shock. She didn't know the one to express. She wanted to run back and beg the doctor if there was anything he could do for her or even if any alternative but she knew better not to because there was nothing else. She cried as she reached her sons' ward. He was still unconscious. She went in and sat on the chair close to his bed. She looked at him. He looked so much like his father, her dead husband. She started to question God. "Why would you do this to me?, You know I have no money, where do you want me to get this kind of money from?, Lord what kind of sin did I commit to deserve this. It's not fair." she knew better not to question God but she felt the need to after all it was very unfair. She wondered why God didn't look for a rich family's child to throw the sickness upon. Why did he choose her? ,She continued to question. She couldn't get a proper job because her highest qualification was the O'level. She didn't attend the University. So she worked as a househelp in different homes. She wondered," even if she summed up her salary for two years it won't even be close to a million talk more of four million naira. Then she remembered the woman's proposal with a reward of five million naira.
