Stress, what stress, is it coming from me, since you can’t do your job very well to find out who is responsible for her pregnancy.

MRS WILLIAMS
Oh please, do we have to kill her because we want to find the father.

MR WILLIAMS
You see your life, your only daughter is pregnant for only God knows who and you are saying such from your mouth, do you really think I care about who is responsible, even if the person is a nobody I can brush him up, it not hard to do.

MRS WILLIAMS

MR WILLIAMS
Time is not on our side, she is already a month gone.

MRS WILLIAMS
Ok fine, let Nath come, I believe she will tell him.

MR WILLIAMS
These your children, I don’t trust them, their ways, there is something both of them are hiding but I pray it not something that will bring disgrace to this family if not I will kill them myself.

Mrs Williams wanted to answer her when she heard Natasha groaned, she turn to see Natasha opening her eyes.

MRS WILLIAMS
(Happily)
She is awake.

Natasha opened her eyes sluggishly, every where seems to be dark but she could hear voices, she tried to opened her mouth, forcing the words out, but couldn’t, she hear a voice very close to her but couldn’t recognize it, her eyes was becoming clearer now,she saw her wardrobe, her bathroom door and then her father who was standing opposite her starring at her with a motionless face,at her right was her mother, she then knew she was in her room.

MR WILLIAMS
Hey don’t worry, you are not dead, you are very much alive because you will not die in my house.

MRS WILLIAMS
Honey, come on.

That was when she began to remembered everything that happened, how she tried to get rid of the pregnancy, she touched her belly.

MRS WILLIAMS

Natasha immediately felt disappointed, this isn’t what she wanted.

MRS WILLIAMS
What were you thinking, you could have been dead if Nath haven’t called me on time.

NATASHA

She cause under her breath but loud enough for her parents to hear, they were both shock to hear that from her.

MR WILLIAMS
(Angry)
What just came out of your mouth.

Natasha was silent, she bit her lip lightly, she regretted saying that.

MR WILLIAMS
Where did you learn that from, so you still have the guts to say that from your mouth after what you wanted to do, no problem, I think I have been going easy on you, sleep, rest very well because tomorrow if I don’t get to see the man responsible for that pregnancy then you will be ready to leave this house, and everything that concern this family, you will leave before you bring shame to this house.

MRS WILLIAMS
You will do no such thing.

MR WILLIAMS
Really, then you will tell me who is the husband either me or you.

MRS WILLIAMS
