Chapter 2: the beginning

Emerald

I met him at a party given by a friend from college. When he saw me, he didn't take his eyes off me all evening. I was flattered that such a sophisticated man was interested in me. At the end of the evening he asked for my number, but I didn't have a phone. he then gave me Rémi his third cell phone so he could contact me, I was so happy! Finally a rich guy is interested in me. The next evening, he called me so we could meet up. I jumped for joy, I got ready to go, in the room, I think about where I came from. I come from far away, I am an orphan of both mother and father, it was my aunt who raised me, she has two daughters, but despite that I did all the housework, I became the maid to do everything. To pay for my schooling, she sees me in all colors, I did people's laundry and the money was used to feed us and if there was any left, we could pay for my notebooks, for the books, we didn't have to think about it , I borrowed books from my neighbor so I could study. How hard it was! When I got to college it was even more difficult. When filling out the orientation file, I asked to be oriented to Abidjan, because we live in San Pedro, a coastal town on the Ivory Coast. The Lord heard my prayers, I got my BAC. And I was sent to Abidjan to a large local school. To be able to start classes, I worked during the holidays and hid a good part of the money. When I told her that I was going to Abidjan to continue my studies, she and her daughters made fun of me. - Look at her ! How much money are you going to go to Abidjan with? And with what money will you pay for your schooling? Here's a dreamer standing up, what do you want to show that you can go to college and my daughters can't? Here's the road, go ahead, but don't come back and ask me for money, because I don't have any. Have a good trip, then it's to come back here with a pregnancy, I'm not going to raise bastards. I remained static in the face of all these nasty words, his first daughter is currently pregnant, she already stopped her studies two years ago, the second stopped this year because she was not cut out for studies. So I understand his feelings. She doesn't want to succeed where her children failed. It is with a resolution that I arrived in the economic capital of my country, I am a beautiful girl with a fair complexion, the result of a crossbreeding of a Fulani mother with a very fair complexion and an Ivorian father, a beautiful hair, and beautiful shapes. I need money to continue my studies, I am intelligent and very hardworking, I will see with my schedule if I can work for be able to feed myself. Luckily for me I was able to get a room on a local campus. This freed me from looking for expensive accommodation. This is how I arrived in Abidjan, my roommate quickly adopted me, she is really kind, she decided to help me by giving me information, where to go for registrations, who it was worth seeing , she is in the second year and I have just arrived.
