Few weeks later after came out from psychiatric ward. Message came in, 

Assalamualaikum, hello, it’s Irma from France, your father’s friend. How are you Leya? We used to have conversation through telephone many times. 

Waalaikumusalam Irma, Alhamdulillah I’m good. 

Alhamdulillah if you said so. Hopefully your family all in a pink of health. I need to talk to your mother. This is very important thing for me. 

Ouh, why is that?

There’s a few matters I would like to discuss with your mother, your father’s business. I couldn't talk with your father. I couldn't reach him out. 

Ouh, alright if you said so. 

WhatsApp was not be replied by your father. I just settled with medical check-up, still in the hospital. But I need to talk to your mother. 

I will give you my mother’s number. 

Hopefully, you could help me. Thank you 

Okay, Love you Irma. 

Pray for me so that I could recover. Thank you. I love you.

Hopefully, you will be speedy recovery and could work as usual. 

Aamiin YRA… Thank you. May you always in a good health, success in studies my dear. 

Leya, is it the WhatsApp number belong to your mommy? I could see just now it’s not your mom’s WhatsApp number. 

Irma, could we discuss through phone because I would like to ask the truth what’s happening?

Yes, sure Leya!

What’s happening?

We shift to WhatsApp, could we? 

Yes sure!

I will take your number. 

378237829732

That’s my number Leya.

Can I video call you? I couldn't add your number on my phone. Because it’s different from my country. 

Yeah, sure Leya. 

I was dazed and perplexed here. A lot of matters that I would like to discuss with your father. I’m so depressed in here. First time having business with your father, there’s already a problem occurred. I would like to share it with your mother. Who knows your mother are able to help me figure out the solution. Is it true that your grandparents are sick?

Your father said that he couldn't go to France because your grandparents is sick. Leya, I couldn't reach your mother just now. Why is that? I’m here people chase me with debt Leya. 

Your father borrows my car to be mortgage as security at the bank and the money is being used to pay the debt of your father’s business at the USA. Right now, my car was being mortgage as security to the bank, not being paid the credit. 

Bank wanna seized my car. I wanna your father to be responsible. How is that? I ask your help to relayed this to your father. Please being responsibility with this problem. It’s not capable of withstanding with the things that I have not done. I have been chased with the bank here. If on this 15th February, your father does not pay any credit of the car, my car will be seized by the bank. 

Irma!

“Yes Lea, I’m so sorry I need to tell you this, you shouldn’t know about this but I’m confused, I couldn’t reach anyone.” 

Your father is in MIA, no response, I am afraid, everyday I’m having quarrel everyday with my husband because of this issue. I need to bear all debts that not committed by me. The debts from the USA occurred prior to join your father. Afterwards, I join business with your father, he requested me to mortgage my car. I would like to talk with your mother. I have letter of debt agreement with €30,000 per month to the bank. I have the said letter at home. I am so desperate with the situation. I don't have any savings anymore. My savings have been used for this business operational and not been received yet. At the moment, I having disease and need to pay for my medical expenses €25. Now I need to face bank problem. 

Oh my gosh, what father had done. Irma!

Yes Lea

Then the money from the office? It’s belonged to you. Flight ticket and everything? Your money? 

That’s my money and Oncle Kucherenko

Later on, I wanna talk with Oncle Kucherenko. 

Alright Lea 

Im pity my Mama.

Pity on Oncle Kucherenko 

Need to bear everything. 

Oncle Kucherenko too was being requested to give debts.

Oh gosh!

€50,000 he loans from his friend and requested him to reimburse back. He down fever. 

Irma, if I’m already working, for sure I will pay the money back. 

I know Leya, pity your Mama. 

Hopefully you could stay calm.

Yes I am, I don't mean you to pay all the debts.

Tonight

I want to find your father.

I talk to my mother first.

Thank you, Lea, for helping me!

I try to find solution for this issue.

Thank God, thank you for your kindness

If you have anything you would like to talk about, you may hit me up anytime. 

May God bless you. 

I am so sorry on behalf of my father. 

Yes Lea, the gist is that I request for credit of 2 months to be paid to the bank by your father. Because the money will come out from campus that have been administer not yet came out. For sure, I will ask for your father responsibility because your father requested me to pay debts to the USA that is the pre-existing debts. In regard to that I’m sorry, I need to ask your father to settle this debt. For following monthly credit payment, we will discuss after your father come to France. The most urgent one is these 2 months because if it does not pay for the 2 months consecutively the car will be seized. Before i join your father i dont know that your father has debts with the USA.

 I just join at the first place, even your father requests me to sell my car but I refused. Eventually I ask permission of my husband to mortgage the car. My husband giving permission then the letter of agreement was made between me your father and my husband. At this moment, my husband heavily mad at me because this morning Bank come to our house, wanted to be seized.
