Ignited by Education
Sophia Marko has lived life doing the proper thing. She's completed university education and graduated top of her class and is ready for a career in the city. Yet, her upbringing in a rural family prepared her for the role of a wife and mother.
She makes uplifting her family out of poverty her lifelong plan. She cannot falter from paying school fees for her siblings, the reason she shuns romance as a distraction to career women.
Can Sophia object when her father summons her to the village to marry a local schoolteacher?
Marko, a father of six has lived in poverty most of his life, which became worse when he took a loan from a local cooperate society that he's unable to repay. When a teacher from a local secondary school asks to marry Sophia, Marko agrees, a teacher will provide a brighter future for his daughter.
When Sophia objects, he asks her, "Have you considered the proposal from Teacher Cleophas? He's not a bad man, a teacher, sure to provide stability, as always. ...and, with a teacher comes a lot of reassurance that your children will get an education and some extra coaching from home. Have you considered that?"
Sophia's troubles do not end with the demands from her father. At her place of work in the city, Richie Broaders floods her work desk with red roses. She objects but gets desperate on learning that Richie is the son of her employer. She's also aware of the Company's rule on a romance between employees - one of them must resign.
To abandon her job will be synonymous to dropping back into the poverty she has worked so hard to overcome.
How will Sophia object to her father or Richie without straining existing family relationships or threatening her employment?
