short story

I'm with my friends now ... I just came back from billiards, I didn't go straight to school because it doesn't matter if I study, right ... and there I saw my father pushing his cart .... there are he sells street-food ... I would have ignored him but one of my friends went to my dad just to buy street food .... I feel sorry for papa in his condition now he is very sweaty because maybe he is pushing he ... he was busy cooking when he suddenly looked at me ... I could see the tiredness in his eyes ...

"Daughter ... you are right here, I cooked a dish for you..come along with me

I looked at what he was carrying but I also stared immediately because he was going to lend me sardines ?? here at school ??

"Who are you? I do not know who you are, why do you call me a daughter

"One after another I told him .... I saw how his smile gradually disappeared because of what I said ...

"my gosh friend I think that man is crazy why did he call you daughter?

Sherlyn laughed

"I also don't know maybe his crazy"

I said calmly ... when I turned to papa I saw how his tears slowly flowed ... so I invited my blockmates to go back to billiards ...... we just played with the one who played and sometimes flirting with the boys when we talk about clarisse's birthday tomorrow .... she decided to celebrate it with her parents, and friends said they need to be formally worn tomorrow so I'm stressed as to how I can find what to buy .. ..so I immediately thought of papa ...

* on text *

: papa ... I need money..I have something to buy for school "

papa replied immediately

: daughter I only earned 400 today..you will be patient but I will give it all to you

: huh !!! 400 that doesn't fit what I want to buy!

: don't worry daughter I will try this morning to find money ... papa loves you very much

: tsk !!

I turned off my phone immediately after that ... I felt nervous but I just ignored it because maybe because tomorrow many people will attend ....

when I woke up I hurried to look at my phone if papa had a text .... I was disappointed that he said he would make a way !! so I looked for him all over the house but he did not go I went to papa's room I searched for money ... and there I saw 50,000 in an envelope I took it immediately to buy what I wanted .... my friends went shopping after I bought the gown I was going to wear ... when I got home I was ready for later when I look at my cellphone I remember someone emailed me earlier..I just ignored it because it doesn't matter ... but I decided to read it know ...
