Ella wakes up every morning with the thought of not ending like her mother. Mrs Esther, Ella's mum was a woman every one admired and wished to be like, she is Married to Philip the C.E.O of Andrews Fashion, a fashion designing company that has branches all over the States. Mr Andrew was well known and so influential. Everyone sees Mrs Esther as the lucky woman little do they know that Mrs Esther was wishing to be single again.
Ella grew up to see her father treat her mum like a slave, he yells at her at every moment, he would always threaten her with words and the one that pains her is when he opens his mouth to tell her mum" if you don't like it here, go back to your mother and continue the suffering that I took you away from" so, she feels her Dad is feeling her mum deserves the treatment because she can't help herself. Everyday Ella despised how her father treated her mum and one day she decided to ask her why she is enduring the insults and all, what her mum shared with her made her surprised.
Her mum cries as she shares her story " My child, I saw these tendencies in your father,but I chose to live with it. Your father came for my hand in marriage when my mother was sick, I had no money for her treatment, I had a man in my life who was so loving and caring, but was poor, he proposed for marriage and I accepted before your father came into the picture. But Mama's health made me neglect what I truly wanted. I knew your father has no regard or respect for people because I saw how he treated people around him, including his mother but I felt it would not be that bad, so , I chose to marry him.
Your father agreed to help Mama on the condition that I accept his proposal, I had no choice but to do that so that mama will live. so, the things I go through are just my own sacrifice to keep mama alive" Ella rushed to her mum and hugged her as she cries, Mrs Esther started consoling and praying for Ella, immediately, Ella interrupted her and said "mum, you don't have to pray for me, from all indication it's obvious that the only reason why you married dad and you are suffering was because you needed money, so, you neglected what you know is wrong just to depend on him for money" her mum nodded. She continued" mum this is beyond praying, it's about getting established so that when it's time to marry money wouldn't be my reason for choosing a man but what I want in a man. When I have my own money as a lady, I will look out for what I truly desire in a man to accept his proposal and not his money because I have it.
Even if the man is not buoyant enough but has what I want in a man I would easily accept him because I am established and I can help my man become rich. Mum, no man will treat me like this, I will so develop myself that people will see me and know this woman deserves the best " Ella wipes her tears as she holds her mum and encourages her to be strong.
Lesson: when a lady is established it becomes easy to make money secondary in choosing a life partner and VALUES primary. A woman is not meant to marry a man because of his money but his value system. Most ladies end up with the wrong man because they were busy looking for a man they can depend on financially and not a husband and a father, not knowing that the journey of marriage is long and not easy so, the best one can do is to go through this long journey with someone that is worth it.
