MaMiya woke up to very pleasant weather; with the sun shining so bright. She decided to have her cereal outside while keeping her eyes glued to her phone because she was expecting a call from Boh her only child. She sat there with her bowl of breakfast in so much amusement because it was Boh’s payday and he was going to deposit money for his beloved mother. Finally, her phone rang and of course, it was Boh. With the exhilarating feeling she grabbed it and she kept on smiling.

I have deposited one thousand, Boh’s voice echoed on the other side. With so much excitement MaMiya went inside the house and within a blink of an eye, she quickly made her way to a bus stop. After a few minutes, a dodgy boy stood next to her carrying a bag. Suddenly a taxi arrived and they both entered. While unnoticed the creepy boy sneaked his bag under MaMiya’s chair. He then asked to be dropped off at the nearby stop after seeing a group of police patrolling the cars. When it was a turn for MaMiya’s taxi, police found 500g of cocaine in a bag under her chair. It was confiscated and MaMiya was declared a convict. Her world crumbled before her eyes. She tried to plead innocent but it all fell on deaf ears. She asked to make a call to her son Boh.

Boh, immediately went into a tailspin after he learned the shocking news about her mother. An excruciating feeling crossed him and he rushed to the scene. When he finally arrived after three hours, he found her precious and innocent mother shoved in a police van like a bag of potatoes. Still, Boh followed the van to the Police Station to fight his mother’s case.
