Poor Student Helped The Poor Street Beggar, Unaware He Is A Billionaire Looking For True Love

 Finally, I am tired of lectures today. At least the day is over. This road is always too crowded. Lectures just ended. Everyone is going home.  Yi, why is he just sitting there like that? Yi, why are you slowing down? Why did you stop? Kimmy, look at him. Doesn’t he look different? Different? How? He looks so sad.

 He’s not even begging like the others. He’s just a beggar. Yi, they all look the same. No, Kimmy. Something about him is different. Yi, what are you doing? I just want to help him. Don’t start.  Thank you.  Please use it to buy something to eat. You don’t have to thank me too much. Here we go again. Yi, let’s go home. You can’t save everybody.

 I know, but I can help one person. You act like you live in a fairy tale. In real life, you need to think about yourself first. If I can help one person, that is enough. I hope you’re ready for mom’s shouting. You know how she hates things like this.  I know. Mama will not understand. Kimmy, please don’t make this a big issue.

 Oh, mama must hear this one.    Why are you running inside like that?  Mommy, can you believe what Yi did today? What is it now?  She gave money to a beg.  Yi, is this true?  Yes, mommy. I gave him some money.  He looked hungry and lost.  Yi, how many times have I told you? You can’t go around wasting money on people you don’t know.

 Your father is gone. May his soul rest in peace. I am the one holding this family together now. Mommy, I didn’t waste it. I helped someone who needed it. Oh, please. Yi, don’t start your charity talk again. Honestly, Yi, you might as well just marry the guy since you care so much about him.  Exactly. Mrs. Beggar’s wife.

 Maybe he’ll give you the crown of poverty. That one fits her well. [laughter]  You see what your foolish kindness is causing. [laughter] I am used to this, but it still hurts. Well, mama, don’t worry about me. I will not make the same mistakes as Yi. One day I will marry  into the Adibayu family and then we will not have to worry about anything again.

 Now that is a smart girl. You have my full support. My dear,  it will happen. Mom,  just wait and see. The Adabio family is the wealthiest and most powerful family in this country. If you set your mind to it, I will make sure it happens.  Thank you, Mom. I’m going to my room. Yes. Go and think about what you did today.

Next time, use your head before throwing money away.  Maybe she should open a beggar’s foundation.  Please don’t kill me with  laughter.  I have stopped expecting them to love me the same way.   Ben, you know I miss you too, my love. Good morning.  I already gave you money for that stuff the last time.

 Don’t worry, babe. I just need a little more money. After this one, everything will be fine.  Ben again. Kimmy, are you still giving Ben money? Why are you listening to my call? Because  Ben is dangerous. Everyone knows he’s involved in bad things. He is involved in drugs and street fights.

 You should stay away from him. Please spare me. Ben is not my future. I am just enjoying myself. Yi, leave your sister alone. Mama, Ben is not good for her.  Ben is not her future. She will still marry well into the Adio family. Let her enjoy herself. When the time comes, she will settle down properly.  But if I did this, you would not say that.

 That is because you don’t think  Chem can do anything. I get corrected for everything.  The fresh air feels nice after a long day of lectures.  Isn’t that the beggar  from the other day?  Aren’t you the person I met the other day?  I guess I am.  I’m Yi.  Nice to meet you, Yi. My name is Demola.  Where are you going?  I was trying to get to the other side of town, but I don’t have transport money.

It’s a long walk, but I have no choice.  Here,  take this for the bus.  Yi, I can’t keep taking money from you.  It’s not a big deal. I want to help. Please, just take it.  Thank you. I don’t know what I did to deserve your kindness.   Maybe one day you’ll do something kind for someone else, too.

 I hope to see you again soon.  I’m sure we will.  Why do I feel drawn to him? It is not pity. It feels deeper than that.   I brought you something small.  Yi, you came again.  Yes. Please eat.  You don’t have to keep doing this.  I know,  but I want to. I brought water and some snacks.  You always come when I least expect it.

[snorts]  Maybe that is a good thing.  Do you always stay around this area?  Most times it is quieter here.  Quiet can be peaceful sometimes. Life has not been easy for you, has it?  No, but I try not to complain.  You don’t have to hide pain from me. Tell me about yourself, Demola. I grew up in an orphanage.

 My parents died when I was little.  When I turned 18, I had to leave.  I tried to get jobs. But without a proper school certificate, nobody wanted to hire me. I did small jobs here and there,  carrying loads at the market, cleaning, anything I could find, but nothing lasted. Some days I go without food.

Some nights I sleep outside.  It’s been tough.  You don’t deserve this life.  Life doesn’t always give us what we deserve. Yi,  I promise to help however I can.  Thank you, Yi. That means more to me than you know.  Why am I thinking about him so much? I am beginning to care about him  and that scares me.

 Play it again.  Wait, you have not even heard the best part. [laughter] Look who finally decided to come home. How little charity worker. Kemie, I’m not in the mood. Not in the mood. Then maybe I should help you get in the mood. I heard something interesting today. Apparently, my dear sister has been spending time with a beggar.

 Ah, sister Yi. And not just giving him money. Oh, no. She actually sits and talks with him like they’re childhood friends. Why are you saying it like kindness is a crime? You must really like poverty, Sister Yi. [laughter]  Maybe you should go and live on the streets with him.  At least Demola is trying to make his life better.

 Unlike you, too, who sit around all day doing nothing.  Excuse me. I have kept quiet for too long.  What is this about?  Femi, you are our elder brother. You graduated from university almost 2 years ago, yet you haven’t bothered to find a job. And you, Kem, skip half your lectures to lounge around acting like you’re too good to study.

 You only care about dating gangsters and marrying a billionaire. Meanwhile, I wake up early every day, go to my classes, and still work just to help keep this family together. But of course, mommy never says anything about that. The only thing she cares about is making sure Kem marries into a rich family. What is all this noise? Mommy, it’s Yi.

She started it as usual. Yemeny. Mama, your daughter has been embarrassing us by running around with a street beggar. Mama, that’s not true. Let me explain. Is this true? Demolola is not just some beggar. He’s a person, a human being who deserves respect just like anyone else. Please, a man with no money and no future is not someone you should be spending time with.

 What do you think will happen? You’ll fall in love and marry him. [laughter] You’ll have beautiful beggar babies. [laughter] Yi,  you are a foolish girl. While your sister is preparing for a future with the Adibio family, you are wasting your time on useless people. Kemi doesn’t need to worry because she has a bright future ahead of her.

 She will marry into the richest family in this city. But you, you are throwing your life away. Why is it that everything Kem does is right, but whatever I do is wrong.  She has a boyfriend who does illegal things, and you never say anything. She and Fei sit here all day doing nothing, and you don’t criticize them.

 But the one time I show kindness to someone, I become the bad person because Kem has a future. She doesn’t need to struggle like you. her husband will take care of her.  That’s the problem, Mom.  You think money is everything.  You don’t even care about what kind of person Kem will marry as long as he’s rich.

 You don’t care about anything else. Wow. Yi,  so wise.  Maybe you should become a preacher instead of wasting your time studying so hard.  Or maybe she should just marry the beggar already. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect no matter their circumstances.  You will never change. Yi,  you always want to argue.

 Fine. Go ahead.  Waste your time with that useless boy. Just don’t expect anyone in this family to support you when you finally realize how foolish you are. Mama’s favoritism no longer surprises me,  but it still hurts.  After all that has happened today, I need to clear my head.  Just a little walk.

 Has Demola eaten?  Is he okay?   He never asks for anything  that worries me.  He is not here.  Where is he?  Something is wrong.   No. No. No. Demola,  what happened?  Who did this to you?  Some guys.  They said this was their territory. They wanted me to leave.  When I told them I had nowhere else to go, they beat me.

 We need to get you to a clinic.  I don’t have money for a hospital  you’re missing.  Let me help you.  I didn’t ask if you had money.  Come on, lean on me. What happened to him? He was attacked. Please just help him. I’ll cover the cost.  Yi. No, I can’t let you do that.  Be quiet and let them help you.

  He needs someone here.  Even if I am the only one,  he’ll be okay, but he needs to rest for a few days.   Try to make sure he eats well.  Thank you so much.   Yi,  why are you doing all this for me?  Because I care. Dea, you  don’t deserve to suffer like this.

 I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone as kind as you.  You’re beautiful, Yi.  Not just on the outside,  but inside, too.  The kind of beautiful that shines even in the darkest  places.  Thank you for everything.  You should get some rest.  Why does his  voice make me feel shy?  I hope I dream about you then.

 Good night, Dala.    He can’t stay here forever.   The clinic has already done more than enough. I use most of my money to cover his treatment. But where will he go? Back to the streets, back to danger. No, I can’t let that happen. The only place I can think of is home. They will be angry.

 They will insult him. But what choice do I have?  Demola, wake up,  Dais.  I want to take you home with me  just for a little while until you recover.  No, Yi, I can’t ask you to do that. Your family will never allow it.  You didn’t ask. I’m telling you, Yi, I won’t let anything happen to you. Careful  slowly demala by  pride by face  now good house  car reach  that place oh look  me finish you know no tomorrow   got a walk in glory  no look Let me see. I really don’t think

 just come.   And where exactly have you been all night, Miss Charity? What is this?  Yi, who is this filthy thing you just dragged into the house?  Femi, stop it. We need help. His name is Demola. He is my friend and he’s staying here until he recovers.  You are joking, right?  Mama, please.

 We have so many rooms in this house. He can just stay in one. Just one room. Just a few days.  No. Are you mad, Yi? Bringing a street rat into my house? Do you even think before you act? So, first you give him money. Then you bring him food. Now you’re bringing him home. What’s next, Yi? You’ll carry his children, too.  Maybe she already has plans for that.

 He’s a human being. He was  attacked and he has nowhere else to go. He needs help. THEN LET THE STREET HELP HIM.  YI, you are a disgrace. You should be ashamed of yourself parading around with a beggar like this. Do you have no selfrespect? If you had even an ounce of sense, you would be thinking about your future.

Kemi will marry into the Adabayio family and secure our place in society. And you, you are here dragging our name into the gutter with this useless man. Mama, why do you always treat me like this?  [snorts]  What do you mean?  Why am I always the problem? Why do you always criticize everything I do, but Kimmy can do no wrong? Why do you treat me like I don’t matter?  You really want to know why?  Yes. I need the truth of truth.

 Because you are not my child.  What? What did you just say?  I am not your mother. Yi,  not my mother. Your real mother died in an accident with your father when you all were still very young. He had you with his secret woman. Before he died, he begged me to take care of you. Being a kind philanthropist, I did. I tried.

But you aren’t my blood. And I never really saw you as my own. Everything makes sense now. The coldness, the criticism, the favoritism. I was never truly hers. I can’t breathe. So this is why this is why I never felt loved here.  Yeah. Let me see.  Now that you know the truth, I’ll make this easy for you. You have two choices.

Two choices. Either you leave that boy and stay here, or you walk out with him and don’t ever come back. These are the people I called family all my life. But I never truly belonged here. I choose Demola.  Then you lose everything. I won’t leave him.   I don’t know where I am going. I don’t even care.

 I just cannot  go back.  You are not my child. For the first time tonight,  I don’t feel completely alone.  Let me see. There’s something  I need to tell you.  Demola, what is it? Unknown number.  Hello,  Miss Yi.  Yes, this is Yumi. Is something wrong?  Your sister Kemad has been arrested.

 We need you to come down to the station immediately.  What?  Arrested?  Why?  She was found at a party with a young man named Ben. Drugs were discovered in Ben’s possession, and since she was with him, she was taken in for questioning.  She needs to be bailed out.  I’m on my way. Kem has been arrested.

 I have to go. I’ll come with you  after everything. I still cannot leave Kem there.  Please let Kem be okay. Where is she? Where is Kem?  Chem, are you okay? Look who’s here.  Our little Mother Teresa. Kem, what were you thinking?  Do you even know how serious this is?  Oh, please spare me the lecture.

 You’re so boring. Yi, always acting like you’re better than everyone.  I am not acting like I’m better.  I am your elder sister, Kem, and I am trying to help you. Elder sister? You mean the daughter of a nobody? You think you can tell me what to do? I don’t need your help, Yi. Just sign the papers and let’s go. She heard the truth tonight and this is how she uses it.

 WHERE IS MY DAUGHTER?  MOM. FEMI. What happened? I was so scared. Thank you for coming. Of course. Let’s get you out.  Mom, you need to talk to Kem. She needs to stop hanging around Ben. He is bad news. Look where he has landed her. Who do you think you are? You think you have the right to lecture my daughter? Mom, I shut up.

 You are nothing, Yi. Nothing but the daughter of a useless woman. Do you think you have any right to correct my child? You should be grateful I fed and housed you all these years. You are ungrateful. I should have left you on the streets where you belong.  Even as the money belonged to my father, I have always worked for whatever I got.

I was never handed anything, not even a birthday present, mama. And yet I never complained. But now you’re telling me I should be grateful. Grateful for what? For never being treated as part of this family. I will  not cry here. Not in front of them. Not after everything.  Bye-bye charity case. Let’s go.

 Yi  deola,  you are not alone.  I hope you get everything you want  because I no longer care.    [music and singing]  I lost everything tonight.  But somehow I do not feel empty.  His hand is still holding mine.  Demola, I need to figure out what to do next.  I have no home, nowhere to go.

 You don’t have to figure it out alone. Yi,  there’s something I need to tell you. What is it? I haven’t been completely honest with you.  What do you mean?  My full name is Deola Ado.  Ado?  Wait,  as in Adio Industries?  Yes, my family owns Adibio Industries.   You you Yes, Y.

 I am the heir to Adibio Industries.  You were living on the streets. How is this possible?  Please let me explain.  Was everything a lie?  Push away. Knocking [singing and music] on the street lights. My life changed twice in one night. First, I  lost my family. Now Demola is telling me he’s an Adibio. This place is bigger than anything I have ever seen.

 This cannot be real.  This is my home.       A few hours ago, I was walking out with nothing. Now I am standing in front of a palace.  There he is, finally. Demola, we’ve been waiting for you.  Mom, Dad, meet Yissi.  Welcome, my dear. We have heard so much about you.

 I I don’t understand what’s happening.  I think our son should explain everything to you.  Yi, every woman I’ve ever dated has only seen my wealth. They never truly cared about me as a person.  I was tired of being loved for my money and status. My parents have been pressuring me to get married, but I refused to settle for a woman who only wanted my last name.

I needed to find someone who would love me for me, not my riches. So, I did something crazy. I disguised myself as a beggar. I wanted to see if there was someone out there who would care about me even when I had nothing. That’s when I met you.  The kindness you showed me, the way you treated me, respect, the way you never looked down on me, it was real.

You never cared about my wealth because you didn’t even know I had any. You were willing to lose everything to stand by me. And that’s how I knew you were the one I’ve been looking for.  Everything, the roadside meetings, the conversations, the way he struggled on the streets, it was all part of his journey to find true love.

So you mean to tell me all this time?  Yes. Yi,  I went undercover to find true love, and I  found it in you.  The man I thought was a struggling orphan. The man I defended, he is the heir to one of the wealthiest families in the country. You must be exhausted, my dear. Demola, why don’t you freshen up? We’ll have dinner soon.

 That’s a good idea. I’ll be back in a bit. You look shocked, Yamissi.  That’s because I am. Piss. This is a lot to take in. I understand, my dear. But know this, we are grateful to you. Demola has never spoken about any woman the way he speaks about you. You changed him. Yi, we know this  is sudden, and we want you to feel at home.

Demolola had returned, but he was no longer in his worn out clothes. I always knew he was handsome,  but now he is breathtaking. You’re staring. Yum, from the moment I met you, you have been nothing but kind, selfless, and strong. You showed me what real love is without even knowing who I was.

 You saw me when the world ignored me. You fought for me when you had everything to lose. And now I want to spend the rest of my life fighting for you. Yi, will you marry me?  Yes, Deola. Yes. For once,  these tears are not from pain. They are from being loved. They are from being chosen.   Congratulations, my dear.

Welcome to the family.  Within 1 hour, the house is full of celebration for me, for us. I was once mocked for loving a beggar. Now I am seated beside Demola Adibio,  my fiance.  For the first time in my life, I feel truly at home.  You look peaceful today.  I  feel peaceful.  Good. I want every day to feel like that for you.

 Choose what makes you happy, my dear. This wedding is yours.  I still can’t believe all this is for me.  For us. Eat well, my daughter.  Sir.  Thank you.  No, sir. Tonight, your family.  You see, I told you.  God bless you both. These children needed this. We’re happy to help.  Yeah. This is only the beginning.

 We’ll come back. I want us to keep helping people even after the wedding.  That is one of the reasons I love you.  Because I worry too much.  Because your heart is never selfish. [laughter]  Where is Kimmy?  What’s the problem this time?  The problem is that your useless sister has mortgaged our house without my knowledge.

 What? Mama, why are you screaming like a mad woman?  Don’t you dare talk to me like that?  I just found out that you mortgaged our house. You took money and gave it to that foolish Ben.  Mom, calm down. Ben said it was a sure investment.  He promised he would pay back double.  Are you HEARING YOURSELF? YOU RISKED our home.

 Our only HOME FOR THAT USELESS BOY.  WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT. How How much money are we talking about?  80 million.  WHAT? RELAX. BEN SAID,  “FORGET WHAT BEN SAID. WHERE IS [screaming] HE NOW?”  UM, I don’t know. We are finished. WE ARE FINISHED. WE ARE FINISHED.  Good afternoon, ma’am. We are from Royal Mortgage Agency.  You were given warnings about missed payments and since the final deadline has passed, we are here to take over the property.

 Please do not remove anything from the property until the inventory is complete.  Inventory. So this is really happening.  Wait, wait, wait. There must be some mistake.  No mistake, ma’am. You signed the agreement yourself.  Kemi, you have ruined us. Where will we live now?  Let me just put on something. This silence is killing me.

Breaking news, ladies and gentlemen. The most eligible billionaire bachelor in the country has finally been taken off the market.  Demola Adibayio, heir to Adio Empire, is officially tying the knot with the love of his life, Miss Yi.  The couple looked perfect together, glowing with happiness.  Did you just say Yissi?  Yi is marrying Demola Ado.

 Guests from all over the country are flying in for what is being called the wedding of the year. Many are excited to finally see the mysterious woman who captured the heart of Demola Adabio. And we must say, Miss Yamissi Adeni is stunning. The city’s  most powerful billionaire has found his queen. No, no, no, no.

That beggar, that nobody beggar, that was Deola Ado,  the Adio heir,  the one I said I would marry. I insulted him.  Kimmy  Ma. Oh my god. We mocked him. We called him useless.  You are nothing, Yi. I should have left you on the streets where you belong. Bye-bye, charity case. What have I done? I called her useless.

I let her leave with nothing. I spent years dreaming of him. And I  laughed at him. I called him poor.  We lost everything. We lost the house. And Yi Yi has found everything.     They barely allowed us in. Madame Jane was kind enough. Mama, what have we done?  I was blind,

 Kimmy. I was blind. That should have been me. Hear me.  I wanted the Adabio name all my life and she got his heart.  She looks like a queen. Demolola chose  well. Yi take care of her with my whole life. Dad, what God has joined together, let no one put apart. We have to talk to her. We have to fix this. Kimmy, not now.

 Then when? Mama, come with me now.  Is that her family? Why are they rushing forward? Yi. Yi, I know I don’t deserve it, but I’m sorry. I was selfish, arrogant, and blind. He’s forgiven me.  My daughter, I know I have done terrible things to you. I have treated you unfairly, called your husband names, and I regret every moment of it.

If I could turn back time, I would do things differently. Once I begged for their love.  Now I no longer need it. I forgive you,  but I’ve moved  on. I’ve learned that kindness is never wasted,  even when people don’t appreciate it. But some mistakes you can’t undo. Yi, I wish you the best.  But my life is no longer tied to yours.

 Come, my love. Let them hear you. Missy, let’s go.   She’s really gone. We pushed her away and she still forgave us.    Careful, my queen.  And I’m fine.  Our downfall,  we brought it on ourselves  by our own hands.   I am finally free. never dies. It makes the broken souls [music and singing]

arise. When the motive is true and pure, the door to heaven  is your cure. More than I ever  thought possible. It leads you home.
