It's another Monday morning and Amy has dressed her daughter up for school.

She bonded her hair into two pairs and smile at her before taking her out.

"Let's get to the bus stop on time before the bus arrive". She said holding her daughter's hand while helding her lunch box in other hand. She had promised her daughter to visit her school with her. She wanted to stop the bullying part.

They both arrived at the bus stop and there were people also waiting for the bus. They were much today and couldn't fathom the reason why any bus isn't forth coming.

'"excuse me sir". Amy said leaning towards the man beside her.

"Do you have the idea of what might cause the scarcity of bus?".

"I heard that there were gridlock along the way which is holding other buses. They will soon be here". The man responded.

"My daughter is running late to school". She said looking towards Hannah.

______________

Max is also stuck in the gridlock

After a while, The way is through while he drive more faster.

He was approaching the bus stop when something was thrown to the street. He quickly step on the brake to avoid stepping on it.

He got down to see a lunch box in the road while Amy rushed down to take it away.

"Watch whatever you are doing in the street WOMAN! You almost cause an accident. What kind of a thing is that?".

"I am so sorry sir, I had no idea that my daughter will throw the box to the road". She pleaded

"Your daughter?".

"Yes sir" she responded while Hannah walk towards them. Other people in the bus stop keep murmuring to each other.

"I am sorry, uncle". Hannah said.

Max was touched by her sweet voice.

"It is okay, is she going to school?".

"Yes sir".

"Is it along this way?".

''it is along this way". Amy explained

"Get in the car and let me drop you off".

"No sir, I don't want to bother you....just like last time".

"Last time?".

"Yes sir, I still remember your face. You are the person that gave us money that night. Thanks for the other day sir". She appreciated.

"Oh! You are the woman from that night. I hope you are both doing okay?".

"We are doing fine sir".

''let me drop you guys off". He insisted while they both hopped into the car.

Amy and Hannah both sat at the back of the car.

He started the car and drove off.

"You look different from that night, I hardly recognize you". Max said

"We were both coming from work that night, we look rough but now, we have cleaned up". She responded smiling.

"You look beautiful today than that day. Why did you guys work that late. It's late that day".

"It's our only ways of survival, so, we both work so hard".

"That's good. I like hardworking woman. Let me know once you get to your destination". He said changing the gear.

They all arrived at Hannah school while they both drop off. Max gave out his card to Amy.

"If you ever need any assistance, you can give me a call". He said slipping the card into her hand while she nodded her head before walking towards the school gate.

Max watched both mother and daughter entering the gate before driving off.

Amy went to school Hannah school teacher while Hannah stayed in the class with her class mate.

"Those kids bully my child alot and they makes her remember what she ought to not remember" she complained bitterly.

"I am so sorry mrs wood, I will do something about it. That habit will stop from now on". The teacher assured her while they both walk back to the class room.

On getting to the classroom,

Hannah is already crying.

"What happened over here ?".

"It's the recycle girl mother". One of the student said.

"What! Amy exclaimed.

"I'm so sorry mrs wood". The teacher interrupted and scolded the student.

"This is what I just complained to you miss. I was called names just now".

"I'm really so sorry, I will report to his parent. He is been a pain in the neck".

"Let me talk to him myself". Amy insisted and move towards the young boy.

"What's your name?".

"My name is John".

"John, hnnn....how old are you?".

"I am four years old".

"You don't look like a four years old boy. And your tongue is too sharp for a small boy like you. Didn't your parents taught you courtesy? Or you don't know about respect? Listen! I and my daughter may work for a r recycle company but that doesn't give you the audacity to talk down on us. We are living an honest life and I didn't come to your parents door step to ask for any financial assistance so, keep your dirty mouth shut! You don't have any more right to bully my daughter. If she complain to me about your bad habit again, I am going to report you to your parents".

"And to other students too, you must stop bullying her. Do you all understand?".

"Yes ma". The students chorused.

"What should you say, John?". The teacher asked.

"I am sorry ma". He apologized

"That's good of you".

Amy hugged her daughter before leaving her school.

She has accomplished her mission for coming to her school. Bullying should be stopped from now before it escalate to something brutal later. She won't watch her daughter self esteem shattered at younger age.

She board a bus to her place of work and other workers are getting ready to get more waste.

"Why are you late Amy?". Her boss asked

"I am so sorry ma, I had to attend to one or two things before coming down here".

"Your lateness will be deducted from your salary". She said while Amy lost her voice.

"She doesn't earn much from her work but deducting money from it can ruin her expenses. Thanks for the money that her helper gave to her that night, she won't have nothing to spend on.

Oh, that reminds her...

He gave her his card.

She reached for her pocket and brought out the card before putting it back in.

"Oh you are here" her boss voice interrupt her thought while she looked up to see her boss husband. The average man licked his lips on sighting Amy why Amy looked down.

"You should have informed me before coming hubby".

"I want it to be a surprise to you dear, how is work?" Leonard asked.

"Work is good as you can see. Come and sit here". She said pulling a chair out for him while he sat down.

She went to get some stuff outside when Leonard called on Amy.

"I'm sorry sir, I have to follow others to collect some waste".

"Stay with me! Leonard said while she waited.

"You like avoiding me anytime I came to your boss work. Don't you like me?".

"Sir, I am not interested in any relationship for now and you are my boss husband".

"How does that mean anything? My wife knows that I love women. So, she won't be bothered. Let me take care of you. I can even make you the new manager of this company".

"Sir, I am not interested in whatever you want to offer me. If you will excuse me please". She said making her way to the door when Leonard voice stopped her.

"If you move an inch from there, you are fired!.

"What else did you want from me? I said I am not interested. What did you want your wife to say if she see's us together".

"She can't do anything". He responded moving closer to her. He dragged her to himself when her boss came in.

She dropped what she bought on the floor.

"What is happening here?. Amy, you and my husband".

"It's not what you think ma".

"Your came late and you are still seducing my husband".

"It's not what you think ma".

"You are fired! She said while Leonard look away.

Tears streamed down Amy face while she pleaded to her boss.

"It's over Amy. I can't stand an husband snatcher like you!.

All pleadings fall on deaf ears.
