"Good morning Mrs. Jane"

"What seems to be the problem Mrs. Jane?"

"Where is your husband Emily?"

"He is not around Mrs. Jane"

"Okay Emily when he returns back home today tell him to see me at my house this evening"

Emily replies to the house tenant with the Sad look on her face, "Mrs. Jane I don't think Benjamin will return home anytime soon"

"Why?, Where did your husband go?"

"I don't know Mrs. Jane because it has been a week now since he left us home"

The house tenant then asks Emily a question, "So if Benjamin is gone who is going to pay me my rent for this month?"

Emily asks the tenant, "I will Mrs. Jane how much does it cost?"

"It is 1500 US dollars"

Emily startles in surprise and then replies to Mrs. Jade, "What but that's too much for me to pay how are you going to expect me to get that kind of money?"

"It's none of my business Emily but you will have to pay me my rent by the end of this week"

"But how will I be able to find your money within this short period of time"

Mrs. Jane replies to Emily, "Figure it out"

"Sorry Mrs. Emily but I don't think if I will be able to pay you in time by the end of this week"

"If you will not pay me on time I will have no choice but to throw your stuffs on the street the choice is yours"

"Mrs. Jane wants her house rent for this month and she also said that if we will not pay her by the end of this week she will throw our things out of the street"

"Why mom"

"Because from now on i don't even want to see Benjamin's face ever again for what he has done to me and my family"

Justin asks Emily a question,"How much are we supposed to pay to Mrs. Jane this month?"

Emily replies to Justin,"1500 US dollars"

"What?, but mom how are we going to get that kind of money in a short period of time?"

"We will both work together to find that money but don't tell me to go to Benjamin and starts begging him to give me money because I will never do that anymore this time"
