There were two sisters, Joy and Gift, who desired to become successful and make their mother proud. However, their mother was not patient enough to wait. Since they were little, their father died. Joy was the firstborn, and Gift was the secondborn. What Joy had in mind was to make her family proud and for her and her sister to become successful. Joy didn't want anything to happen to her mother or her younger sister. Right from when they were small, she took care of Gift very well. Joy got involved in a fight because of her sister when their mother sent them to school. Joy was in class five, while Gift was in class two. So, during break time, when they were playing outside their classroom, an issue occurred between Gift and her classmate. So, they started fighting, and two of Gift's classmates joined hands together and beat up Gift, and she was crying. When Joy saw that, Joy was very hurt, and she made sure she beat up the two girls that beat her sister. She beat them so hard that the principal came and asked what happened. So, after knowing what happened, she decided to punish Joy because she didn't report what happened. She just took the decision herself. She just judged the case herself. So, he punished her for that. And they were little at that time. Joy's intention was just to protect her sister, and so she involved herself in a punishment because of her sister. This is how they grew up, graduated from their secondary schools, and also went to their universities. Eventually, they went to the same university. There was a violent guy named Charles who said he loved Gift, and Gift did not like him. So, he insisted that they must date because he was a very violent person. When Gift told Joy, Joy confronted Charles, the violent guy. "Why do you want to date my sister? Is it by force?" Nobody had ever talked to him in such a way because of his violence, not to talk more of a lady, and he was so amazed and angry. Why would a lady talk to him in such a manner? So, he called his guys and beat two of them up. Joy also associated herself with bad guys who were her course mates, and they went and beat Charles's group up. This made Joy hate guys so much. She decided to become violent also in order to take care of her family. Since then, Joy has been acting like a boy. So, after they graduated, when they came back home, because there was no work to do, after they finished their school, there wasn't work to do at the moment, so they stayed to help their mother sell provisions at the shop. Joy also had the mentality of taking care of their family. So, there was a fight that involved a game between Gift and her new boyfriend, Peter. Gift was in a relationship with Peter, and she loved Peter so much. But Joy didn't like to associate herself with men, and she was the firstborn. So, when Gift had a misunderstanding with her boyfriend, he said he's not going to continue the relationship anymore. So, Gift started crying, and when she came back home, she explained it to her sister. Joy couldn't bear it. She went directly to Peter's house and beat him up. Her mother heard about that, and she was very angry. She said, "Joy, why did you beat up Peter? Go and get your own husband and stop interfering in other people's matters. It is because you are jealous of Gift. This is the reason you decided to beat Peter." When Joy heard that, she went to her room and cried very bitterly because her intention was to take care of the family. At the moment, Joy was 28 years old, and the mother was very worried that her first daughter couldn't get married. Peter later on came and pleaded with Gift, asking her to forgive him for what he did to her and also asking for her hand in marriage. He decided to marry her. Gift was so happy, and she accepted. When Gift was about leaving, she told Joy, "You have protected me since we were children. But I don't want you to spend the rest of your life protecting me. I want you to live for yourself too." Those words touched Joy so much that she decided to stop her violent attitude. But her mother wasn't patient enough. She wanted her to marry also, like Gift. She always said bad words to her, and that made Joy run from home. And thank God for the course she studied, Business Administration. She just went and met a very big businessman named Andrew. She told him what happened and asked if she could work with him. He saw some potential in her and looked for a place for her. This is how she worked for him for some time. Joy was so dedicated and very intelligent. Because of how trustworthy she was, she could even travel and leave the whole business for her, and she would store every detail. He saw that he couldn't do without her. She was very hardworking. He was so happy at Joy's hard work, so he decided to surprise her, and he opened a large supermarket for her. Joy was so happy, and this is how Joy developed and became a great person. And he ended up liking her, and he also loved her and asked her if she would marry him, so she agreed. They came back home to meet her mother and tell her about the good news. She didn't want to come back, but her man insisted. So, when they came back, her mother cried bitterly and asked her to forgive her for the bad things she did to her. She also told her that she was afraid that Joy would remain lonely after all she had done for the family. She thought she wouldn't get married and that she wouldn't find someone to marry because of her character. And so, she forgave her mother, and they got married. Joy learned that taking care of her family was important, but she also deserved to build a life of her own. This is how Joy became successful. sources pixabay
