We watched the girl ran out of the house
while observer ran after her,everyone was
looking at everyone and everything went dead
as nothing.o wait a minute,only one thing
would had made daddy react in such a
manner,that must be the daughter of late chiefsoso,yea now i understand,observer can
actually be married to an enemies son but the
enemy is dead nau,i must talk to daddy about
it for him to have a change of mind,dad really
over reacted chai,i never see this man vex like
this before o.as i stood up to leave i had step
mother’s voice
Step Mum: dan who is the girl?
Me: (see me see question o,na me and ur
pikin dey friend am!)never seen her before
Step Mum:then why is my husband so walked
up

Step Mum:there is something u and ur father
aint telling us
Me:abeg abeg hold it there,what’s the
suppose meaning of that? If there is anyone
hidding anything it should be u and ur
husband because its a shame that u cant
question ur husband in situations like this.
Step Mum: (hits her hand on the table as she
stands up)enough of ur insults,how do u
expect me to question my husband?
Me: oh its daniel that should be questioned

my hand)pls dont use these as an excuse to
attack me,nonsense…i stormed out of the
dinning room,the children watched this seemly movie with a confused emotions,o boi hunger no catch anyboby again be dat o,chai this was why i prefer it to be done at dinner,shebi i for just sleep forget everything.i got into my room and badged the door,i sat down on my bed,chai how foolish is observer for him to bring in a girl he had known nothing about but sha there are probabilities that the girl in question is a big liar,fine girls can lie,so i
heard but havent witnessed any,hope my
nancy wont be like that because my love wnt
be blind to that extend.
I lied on my back and kept thinking
Josey:big bro,what is happening?

Josey:big bro u were rude for the first time.
Me:were u blind when that woman tackled me
like i was a suspect?
