LIVE FREE!!!
Jenifa lived with her stepmother ever since her mum died in a car accident on her way from the hospital after she went for a check up. Jenifa was still in nursery 2 at age 4. She was still young, so her father had to marry another wife to take care of her..
jenifa was a brilliant young girl in school and this is what made her teacher so fond of her.
With the high level of intelligency possesed by jenifa, she was given a schorlarship as well as double promotion which made her education very fast. At age 15, jenifa has already finished her secondary education.
But throughout those years, life hasnt been a bed of rose for jenifa because her stepmother on the other side has not made life easy for her..she maltreats her a lot, giving her so much chores to do at home, she will beat her at any slight mistake, raining curses on her, calling her names, and also telling her she cannot kill her as she killed her wretched mother..all sort of curses, talks and abuses .. But jenifa never let that bothered her too much and inspite of all her present predicament, she still find time to read, study and focus in her academics pursuits, hoping one day, she will live life freely as she wants.
Well well at the long run, to cut the long story short, after some years later, she got married to the man of her dream, living happily with her husband and children..it was then she recalled about her past life and sufferings, she then proclaim loud -SO I CAN LIVE FREE!!!
