She grew up in the countryside of her nation, her parent took good care of her, she wasn't the only child but it happens she was the first child among others, her parent and sibling did all they could to send her to the city for her to further her education in the city.

After she left for the city, her parent advised her to always seek opportunities in the right place.

The city is a place where beasts take the form of humans, be careful how you relate with people, don't allow pride to take place in your heart if you achieve anything, and always remember home and where you came from, don't forget your family, we will always love you.

Her parent advised her

Lia left for the city to make something out of her life and be the breadwinner of her family, little did she know about the beast her parent was talking about, she thought she would recognize them by the beastly appearance they show.

During her studies at the university, many people keep away from her because she's poor, no one wants to be friends with her, her accent is that of the countryside, her dress is one thing that drove guys away from her, no one asked her out or even try to talk to her, all this broke her spirit but she used it as a motivational tool to focus more on her education.

After 6 years of study, it was time for her to make something of her life and make her parent proud, they have helped her to a level she has to make decisions for herself, on the job search, Lia applied to different Jobs ventures and office job but none of them have called her.

One day, on her way to get some toiletries from a store not too far from her house, she met one of her male friends with which they had studied together, he was one of the brilliant guys in class, ladies are always around him so she didn't bother to look at him twice but looking at him now, she understood why ladies were always around him, his dressing, she could see his muscle through the shirt he was putting on, she decided to call since they were friends back then.

Lia: Daniel! Daniel!!

He turn back to check where his name was coming from, as he turned towards her direction, he recognized her immediately and waved back at her, as she walk towards him, he did the same and walk towards her.

Daniel: how have you been Lia, it has been a very long time

Lia: come on, it hasn't been that long, probably 2 years after we are done with our study

Daniel: And you think that's not long enough, anyway, how have you been, do you stay here, where do you work, what are you doing in this street?

Lia: calm down with all this question (she answered as she smiles with her full mouth) though I live not too far from here, I came to the store to get some things, and I don't have a job yet.

Daniel: (In shock) you mean the lady that top all the class hasn't gotten a job, that's very bad, the lack of job in the country is getting worst day by day. Well, I wouldn't mind helping you to talk to my boss, he is a good man.

Lia: (so excited) thank you so much, Dan, I really appreciate this.

Daniel: so let's go help you get your some things that you want to get from the store.

They left for the store and exchanged numbers.

2weeks later, Lia was called to a multinational company for an interview, before going, she prayed, told her parent about it, prepared well, in fact, she bought new wears for the interview, on the day of the interview, to her surprise, the number of people waiting for the interview would be more than the total number of staff working in that organization, people of different caliber, people with connection all over, she was about to turn back, her inferiority complex hit her again, on her way out, she met Daniel.

Lia: Daniel, you didn't tell me this is how it will be(with tears almost running out her eyes)

Daniel: come on, you need to be strong, tell me, who was the best graduating student in our class, that's you, who always gets the right answer, you, who did an extra class for the student after the lecture is over even if no one wanted to hear what you would say, that's you. Most of your extra lesson was what brought me here today, I'm sure you would do great.

She cleaned her eyes and gain her confidence back, she went into the hall and have her seat, after hours of waiting, she and three more applicants were called upon to seat for an exam, she did the exam and proceed to the oral interview.

As soon as she spoke and the board of interviewer heard her accent, they all stop what they were doing to listen to her talk, series of questions was asked, she answered well but to her surprise, they weren't putting down anything to indicate if she's doing well or not. She was asked to wait behind after the interview was done, the human resources manager walk up to her, and she stood up immediately to welcome him, he asked her not to bother with a smile on his face.

H.R: Hello Miss Lia, we would like to offer you a place in the countryside as one of the managers, you see, people there have been demanding they want someone that can understand them and their language, everything needed will be provided, a house is there also for accommodation, an official car, and a driver........

As the human resources manager was talking, Lia was lost in thought, is this a dream, you mean I would be a manager just like that, is my accent that special, but people hated me because I'm me, my look, dressing and way of talking, you mean all this quality is what is helping me now? As she was lost in thought, the H.R tap her

H.R: ma, are you with me

Lia: yes I'm with you

H.R: so would you take on the offer

Lia: Yes, I would gladly take it (with tears in her eyes).

The End

Beautiful write up that's why I do tell people never to look down on yourself there's something unique about is that we might not know, and others are interested in. There was one of my friend that time that studied yoruba studies and we use to make Jess of, but after graduation πŸŽ“ he's was employed in Canada as interpreter to organisation there and he's doing great.

This is a Typical example of "Every disappointment is a blessing". See how her neglected nature got her into a position that required high profiled individual. Such is life.

Ofcourse, I'm joining the masses to request for what happened between and Daniel. If it's fictional, go and crack your brain for the remaining partπŸ€“
