00:00Zuri was the only daughter of her parents. They lived in the village of Odenta.
00:05Her parents spoiled her so much that anything she asked for, her father would give to her.
00:11Her parents loved her so much that they never noticed her bad behavior.
00:16Every morning, while other children were leaving their homes for school, Zuri would stay in bed and refuse to wake
00:22up.
00:23Her mother would try to convince her to get up and get ready for school,
00:27but she would say, I don't want to go to school today, Mama. I just want to sleep.
00:33Her father, hearing this from the other room, would say, let her sleep, and that was how school would continue
00:40without Zuri.
00:42In the village, Zuri was disrespectful to everyone, including the elders.
00:47She walked past them without saying hello.
00:50People say that she once shoved an elderly woman to the ground for stepping on her at the village market.
00:56At the river, she was always involved in fights, and she would always be the first to smash people's water
01:03pots.
01:04Whenever parents in the village complained to her father, he would simply wave his hand and say she was just
01:09a child.
01:10He would take out money and pay for the broken pots.
01:14He never warned Zuri or tried to discipline her.
01:18Zuri kept behaving that way until one morning when tragedy happened.
01:23Her father was climbing a palm tree to collect palm wine when he lost his footing and fell.
01:30He was quickly taken to the village healer, and they did everything they could, but the healer could not save
01:36him.
01:37He died that evening.
01:38The family grieved for him for many days, especially Zuri, who was very close to her father.
01:46Zuri wept more than everyone else in the village.
01:49She fell onto the dry ground.
01:52Papa, Papa, please don't leave me, she cried, but the dead could not reply to the cries of the living.
01:59The villagers stood around the home, murmuring to each other.
02:04Some slowly nodded their heads.
02:07An elderly woman, Mama Adana, rested on her cane and sighed.
02:12This girl, if only her father, had guided her while he was still alive.
02:18But Zuri's mother was too heartbroken to listen to anyone.
02:23Days became weeks.
02:25A house that was once filled with joy slowly became silent.
02:30Without her father's income, things started to change.
02:34Getting food became difficult.
02:37Sometimes they were only able to eat one proper meal each day.
02:41The clothes Zuri used to wear became worn out.
02:45Her mother began going to the farm very early, every morning, just to feed them.
02:50She would ask Zuri to come with her to the farm, but she would refuse.
02:54She also refused to help her mother with the household work.
02:58She was always seen wandering around the village square, as if she owned the whole village.
03:03She still offended people.
03:05She still refused to greet the elders.
03:08Sometimes, she would leave the house in the morning and come back at night.
03:13Her mother would question her, but she would shove her aside and walk inside.
03:17The villagers started shaking their heads whenever they saw her.
03:22One evening, Mama Adana called her.
03:25Zuri, my daughter, come here.
03:28Zuri stopped and looked at the old woman with annoyance.
03:32What is it now?
03:34The old woman sighed.
03:36Your father is no longer alive to hide your mistakes.
03:40Change your behavior before the world teaches you a lesson you will never forget.
03:44Zuri shouted angrily.
03:47Old woman, stay out of my business.
03:49And she walked away without turning back.
03:52From that day, the villagers stopped warning her.
03:56They only watched.
04:00Several months went by.
04:02Zuri started making new friends.
04:05Strangers from nearby villages.
04:06They were older boys who enjoyed drinking and wandering at night.
04:12They gathered behind the empty hut near the forest, laughing, drinking, and dancing loudly.
04:19Zuri loved the attention they gave her.
04:22For the first time since her father passed away, she felt important again.
04:29Her mother noticed the change.
04:32One night, when Zuri came home very late, her mother faced her.
04:38Zuri, where are you coming from at this hour of the night?
04:43Zuri rolled her eyes.
04:45Why are you asking me?
04:47Am I a little child?
04:49Her mother's voice shook.
04:51My daughter, please.
04:53The road you are following is dangerous.
04:57But Zuri pushed the door open and went inside the house.
05:00Leave me alone.
05:03That night, her mother sat beside her and spoke to her like a caring mother.
05:08My daughter, your father is gone.
05:11We do not have anyone to support us anymore.
05:15Please return to school.
05:16I will also leave you one day.
05:19I want you to become a doctor.
05:22Zuri rolled her eyes and said,
05:25Mama, school is not for me.
05:27I do not like school, but I know my future is good and I will become rich and take care
05:33of myself.
05:35Zuri stood up and walked inside to rest.
05:38Her mother remained outside for a moment, deep in thought.
05:42She finally made a choice.
05:44She would send Zuri to stay with her sister in the city and learn a skill since she refused to
05:50attend school.
05:51Two weeks later, Zuri and her mother got on a bus to the city.
05:55The trip was long.
05:57Dust from the road entered through the bus windows as the passengers struggled to breathe.
06:03Zuri sat near the window eating peanuts and staring outside without concern.
06:07Her mother kept looking at her now and then.
06:11Sometimes she opened her mouth like she wanted to speak, but then she closed it again.
06:17The bus finally entered the crowded town late in the afternoon.
06:22Cars were honking all around.
06:25Motorcycles moved fast between the cars.
06:28Zuri had never seen a place this full of people before.
06:33Her eyes opened wide.
06:35So this is the city?
06:38She whispered softly.
06:40Her mother held her hand.
06:43Remember why you are here.
06:45Your aunt will teach you how to make clothes.
06:48If you learn well, your future will be bright.
06:53Zuri shrugged.
06:55We will see.
06:57They finally stopped in front of a small home where her mother's sister lived.
07:02The gate was old and rusty, but the place was clean.
07:07Her aunt, Auntie Amara, was sitting outside under a mango tree, cutting pieces of cloth.
07:13She lifted her head when she saw them.
07:16Ah, my sister.
07:17You have arrived.
07:19The two women embraced warmly.
07:22After greeting each other, her aunt turned around and looked at Zuri from head to toe.
07:26So, this is Zuri?
07:29Her mother slowly nodded.
07:32Yes, she is now in your care.
07:35Auntie Amara examined Zuri closely.
07:38Her eyes were intense, like someone who had experienced many things in life.
07:45My daughter, she said softly.
07:47This town is different from your village.
07:51Here, if you take the wrong path, the results will catch up with you fast.
07:58Zuri did not speak.
08:00She only looked away and held a small rock on the ground.
08:04Her mother let out a deep breath.
08:07That night, they ate together in silence.
08:11The following morning, Zuri's mother got ready to go back to the village.
08:16She hugged her daughter tightly.
08:19My child, please obey your auntie.
08:22Learn something important in your life.
08:26Zuri nodded without much interest.
08:29I heard you, Mama.
08:31Her mother got on a bus and departed.
08:34As the bus vanished down the road, Zuri stood near the gate, watching quietly.
08:40For the first time since leaving the village, she felt a strange loneliness inside her.
08:46But instead of thinking too much about it, Zuri turned around and walked back into the yard.
08:53City life was only starting.
08:57Auntie Amara was a strict woman who owned a small hair shop in the crowded market.
09:02From the very first day Zuri arrived, she noticed everything was different.
09:08There was no special treatment, no one to protect her.
09:12Auntie Amara woke up before dawn every morning,
09:16and Zuri had to get up too.
09:18Get up! Auntie Amara would yell.
09:20In this house, everybody works!
09:23But Zuri hated that life.
09:25She hated cleaning the yard.
09:27She hated carrying water.
09:29She hated standing in the salon, watching customers braid their hair.
09:34Many times, she tried to sneak away to wander around the town.
09:38But Auntie Amara always discovered it.
09:40Do you think this is your father's house?
09:43She sounded harsh.
09:45Still, Zuri refused to change.
09:48In the evenings, she started going out in secret.
09:52Behind the market, there was a small bar where young men gathered.
09:56That was where Zuri made new friends again.
09:59They bought her drinks.
10:01They admired her beauty.
10:03They told her she was too pretty to be working in a salon.
10:07Little by little, Zuri began coming home very late again, sometimes after midnight.
10:13One night, Auntie Amara caught her quietly coming inside.
10:18Zuri!
10:19She shouted.
10:20Zuri stopped moving.
10:22Where are you coming from?
10:24Zuri crossed her arms without saying anything.
10:28Auntie Amara's face became serious.
10:31Listen to me carefully.
10:32The kind of life you are following will ruin you.
10:36But Zuri only laughed.
10:38The warnings did not matter to her.
10:41Auntie Amara continued.
10:43You refuse to go to school and also refuse to learn a job.
10:47You do not want.
10:49What exactly do you want to do with your life?
10:52Zuri answered with confidence.
10:55Auntie, I know my future will be good.
10:58I will marry a rich man and all of you will see.
11:02Weeks went by.
11:04Then months.
11:05Zuri became well known among the boys around the market.
11:09One day, Zuri met a young man while walking to her aunt's store.
11:14She saw a young man standing by the side of the road, looking lost.
11:19He stopped her and asked for directions.
11:22Zuri showed him the way.
11:24After that, the young man got her number and promised to call her.
11:29That evening, when Zuri returned home, she could not sleep.
11:34She kept waiting for the young man to call.
11:37She turned from one side of the bed to the other.
11:40Every little vibration from her phone made her heart race.
11:45She quietly said to herself,
11:47I have met the man who will change my life.
11:51He is not only handsome, he is wealthy too.
11:56Three days later, she got a call from an unknown number.
12:00When she asked who was calling, he introduced himself.
12:04Hello, Zuri.
12:05This is Malik, the young man you met the other day.
12:08Zuri became so excited that she jumped out of bed.
12:12Her heart started beating quickly.
12:15Malik asked her out, and she immediately said yes without thinking.
12:20That evening, while she was getting ready to meet Malik, her aunt stopped her at the door.
12:25Zuri, where are you going?
12:27Auntie, I am going to see my future husband.
12:31Which husband, Zuri?
12:33You need to be careful.
12:35This is not the village you know.
12:37Zuri rolled her eyes.
12:39I am not a little girl, aunt.
12:41I am 20 years old.
12:43I can look after myself.
12:45She went out with Malik.
12:47They went shopping for clothes.
12:49Malik bought her pretty dresses and costly shoes.
12:52He also bought her a new iPhone.
12:55Zuri could hardly believe it.
12:58Malik kept smiling at her.
13:00You are a very special woman, Zuri.
13:02I loved you from the first day I saw you.
13:05My dream is to marry a beautiful woman like you.
13:09Those words touched her heart.
13:12Later that night, he took her home.
13:14Before she got out of the car, he gave her some money.
13:18Take this and buy whatever you want.
13:22Zuri looked at the money in surprise.
13:24She had never touched that much money before.
13:29She ran into the yard happily.
13:31She showed Auntie Amara everything.
13:34The clothes, the phone, the money.
13:37Auntie Amara looked at everything silently.
13:41She was not happy, but she forced a little smile.
13:46My daughter, this kind of thing does not happen often.
13:50But still, be careful with this man.
13:54Zuri waved her hand carelessly.
13:56There is nothing to fear, Auntie.
13:59That night, Zuri proudly called her mother.
14:03Ama, mama, you people said I would never become anything in life.
14:08Look at me now.
14:09I have an iPhone now.
14:11Mama, send me your account number.
14:13I will send you some money.
14:16Her mother stayed silent for a few seconds on the phone.
14:20My daughter, be careful.
14:22Not everything that looks good is truly good.
14:26But Zuri had already hung up the call.
14:29The next morning, Auntie Amara woke up early as usual.
14:33Zuri, get up.
14:35We are going to the store.
14:37But Zuri refused.
14:39Auntie, I am too grown to walk into a salon now.
14:44She turned to the other side of the bed and kept using her new phone.
14:49Auntie Amara looked at her for a long moment.
14:51But she said nothing.
14:53She quietly picked up her bag and went to the market alone.
14:58Zuri stayed at home talking with Malik all day, from morning until night.
15:03Malik kept giving her gifts and money.
15:06Every few days, he would come to pick her up in his car.
15:09Sometimes, they went to fancy restaurants.
15:12Sometimes, they went to clubs in the city.
15:15Zuri started living a life she had only dreamed about before.
15:19New clothes, a new phone, money in her purse.
15:23She started walking around the market with confidence.
15:27Even the girls who once mocked her now looked at her with jealousy.
15:32Zuri completely stopped helping her aunt.
15:35She stopped going to the beauty shop.
15:37She stopped doing housework.
15:39All she did was wait for Malik's phone calls.
15:43One evening, Auntie Amara called her and pulled her to sit down.
15:47She said,
15:48Zuri, I know you love this Malik, but I am still warning you to be careful.
15:54My heart does not trust this Malik.
15:57I am still telling you to stay away from this man.
16:02Zuri immediately frowned.
16:04Auntie, I know now that you do not like my success.
16:08You are jealous because at your age, no man has chosen you, and you do not have a husband.
16:14Her aunt's eyes opened wide in surprise.
16:17Before Zuri could say another word, slap.
16:22The sound spread through the yard.
16:25Auntie Amara had hit her hard across the face.
16:29You are rude and disrespectful, she yelled.
16:33You do not know my story.
16:36Zuri held her cheek in anger.
16:39You know what?
16:40I am leaving your house.
16:42I have been taking care of this filthy, smelly house of yours.
16:47Malik has a nice home.
16:49I am going to live with him.
16:51Auntie Amara suddenly got worried.
16:54If Zuri left, what would she say to her sister?
16:57Her sister trusted her to look after the girl.
17:01She pleaded with her.
17:04Zuri, please calm down.
17:07Think about what you are doing.
17:10But Zuri had already decided.
