Amaka sat bewildered, she stood up and gathered courage to meet her mum
Mum..she called

Mum there’s something I want to tell you..Amaka said shivering
Do I look deaf to you? Madam talk I’m listening.. Her mum replied sitting upright

O gini? Their neighbour asked

How come Amaka? Why are you a disgrace? The woman asked smiling mischievously
Ma,I was rapped.. Amaka said
Kai shut up,leave here right now.. Her mum barked hitting her

By the time my husband comes back, he won’t have any other alternative than to send her away,she should give me space biko..Nnedi said relaxing her back on the wall

Mr Emmanuel came back late in the night, he sat down waiting for his dinner to be served

Nnedi, my food first..I’m very hungry.. He replied rubbing his belly
Your daughter is pregnant…
