It has been six good years since makia break up with Jaepa, after the poor man has managed to pulled back his life together, and was able to do the needful with his new wife in the family, she came back, ranting in the whole town, looking for who would talked to Jaepa on her behalf, as she said that, she was the better option for him.

Jaepa on his own was not a man who put much pressure into something, he was a building contractor, but he was believing that one day, his story will change.

He has worked as a bricklayer for years, going with friends to work, it was just that he didn’t had luck in those days, and nobody recommended him to built a house for them as well, but one day, something remarkable came his way. A man he helped on his way to the house, in carrying the bag’s of rice, appreciate his good efforts, by asking him to called him the following day.

Jaepa called him, it was the first thing he did, before having it in mind to go to his normal bricklaying work, but the man invited him home that day.

It turns out that he was giving a contract, when he and the man discussed, and he find’s out that he can handle a building construction work, he gladly gave the contract of constructing an hotel to Jaepa.

That was how Jaepa story change, from a poor man, that was finding it very hard to eat a day, to somebody that feed his family three time’s square meals a day.

Where it got more interesting is, before he finished the construction work, he got recommended by the man, to another person, because they like his service.

Jaepa that was living a rented apartment, where the landlord only had pitied on him, and let go to collect him rent per year, buy a land, and begin to build a house.

When his divorce wife, that left him because he was struggling heard the wonders in Jaepa,s life, she ran back, rant every in the town, and want people to beg Jaepa for her, but each time Jaepa remembers how she has the gut to leave him with the children’s, just because he didn’t have money, he said no, he doesn’t want her back, beside, they were a divorce couples, and he has married another woman.
