NATASHA
(Angrily)
Who is that.

MAID
Ma’am, your father wants to see you in the sitting room right now.

NATASHA
Is that why you want to break my door, get out.

MAID
Sorry ma’am

The maid quietly left while Natasha got ready, she left her room and head to the sitting room, as she approach the sitting room she could hear noises, it was her parents voice, they seem to be arguing over something and this got her wondering what it might be, she got to the sitting room and descended the stair, the angry eyes of mr Williams met with hers and this got her scare.

NATASHA
Dad, you called me.

MRS WILLIAMS
Honey please, calm down.

NATASHA
mum, wants going on

MR WILLIAMS
(Aggressively)
I am going to ask you a very simple question and you better not lie.

Natasha knew then that something was wrong and she was the cause of it.

MR WILLIAMS
Natasha, are you pregnant
Natasha was shocked that her mouth refuse to open for an answer, how did her father got to know, did Julie sold her out.

MRS WILLIAMS
(Worried)
Natasha, answer your father.

Natasha swallowed hard.

MR WILLIAMS
Are you deaf

Natasha moved back a little, her father Mr Williams was very disciplined, you don’t pray to get him angry and she has just succeeded in doing so.

MR WILLIAMS
You see your daughter, her silent says it all, so you, you, Natasha, have the guts to go for an abortion.

NATASHA
That’s not true.

MR WILLIAMS
Are you calling me a lier, what is this.
Throwing a piece of paper to her, she picked it up and found out that it was the form she filled at the hospital, she was surprised to see it in the hands of her father, how did it get to her father.

MR WILLIAMS
Are you surprised, you should be, Doctor Mark gave that to me, you know him isn’t it, for your information that hospital belongs to our family, Doctor Mark was so surprise to see my daughter in her own family hospital for an abortion without the father consent, he was the one that called me.

Natasha then remembered the expression on doctor Mark face when he heard her surname, how could she be too stupid.

MRS WILLIAMS
Natasha why, why did you try to take that risk, Natasha.

She saw the disappointment in her parents eyes and this brought tear to her eyes.

NATASHA
Mum, dad am sorry, am so sorry.

MR WILLIAMS
You are sorry, so you decided to kill yourself by yourself, isn’t it, God.

Natasha couldn’t stand them anyone, she was ashamed of herself, disappointed at herself, how did things get to be like this, she was almost blind with tear that was rushing down her cheek, when she couldn’t take the sad words coming from her parents she turn and ran to her room even when she heard her name called by her parents she didn’t stop, she was hurt, bitter, everything that happened the morning she woke up to see her own brother has taken her innocent came flashing, the pain, hatred was all there now, she cried as if tear could change the hands of time, a knock was heard on her door but she refused to open up, the voice of her mother was heard outside the door begging her to open up but yet she refused to, how was she going to face her mother or even her father, what will she tell them, she curse Nathaniel in her breath.

Mrs Williams finally left when she couldn’t get Natasha to open the door, mr Williams was in the bedroom, he was boiling with anger, mrs Williams entered the room.

MR WILLIAMS
What did she say.

MRS WILLIAMS
Honey, you need to give her time, she will come around.

MR WILLIAMS
Are you stupid, Natasha is pregnant under my roof and you are here telling me to give her time to come around, do you think I care how she got pregnant at the first place, I sent you to found out who is responsible and you came back here to tell me rubbish.

MRS WILLIAMS
(Calmly)
You know you always allow your anger to control your thoughts and decision but please I am begging you she will open up.

MR WILLIAMS
I don’t want to ask her myself, don’t make me ask her myself, in short, where were you when the pregnancy got to a month woman.

MRS WILLIAMS
How was I suppose to know she was pregnant when she barely comes out of her room or talk to me, even Nathaniel refused to tell me anything.

MR WILLIAMS
So Nathaniel knew, very good, where is my phone.

He looked around for his phone and found it, he picked it up and dialled Nathaniel number, Nathaniel picked up almost immediately.

NATHANIEL
