Episode 6
Tolani was at a corner crying and as mama was about to stand up to meet her, she ran to her room and lock the door.
“What kind of life is this? What kind of family is this? Why is this happening. David is just 15 years old, how on earth could he steal. I am tired of all this. Daddy and mummy issues is there, I am trying to adjust my personality and now David. I want peace, enough of shouting, sound of beatens, pain, hatred, anger. I hate them all. She wept loud as she closed her book.
Mama kept knocking but she did not respond till the opening of the sitting door got her attention. “Who is there” Mama asked and Mrs Alabi replied “It is me mama”. Mama moved towards the sitting room and Tolani opened the door to see her brother's face. David was already kneeling down as if he got the instruction to do that.
“Who asked you to kneel down? This is not a matter of kneeling down” mama said. “When your daddy comes, we would talk about it” Mrs Alabi said and Tolani can see the fear in his eyes.
“Poor boy, what would now happen to him” Tope said (Miss Abosede student)
David refused to stand up, he was crying innocently. Mama faced his direction and asked “Why did you steal? What happened to you? You always carry food to school with #100. What else do you want?” David could not look at them, so he looked down and replied “ I don't know how it happened. I left the classroom to get biscuits and drink and I didn't know when I took another thing as he started crying. ”
Mama and Mrs Alabi was looking confused until the sound of horn from a car distracted them. Silver stood up to open the gate and Mrs Alabi stretched her neck to see who was that. “It's my husband” she said. Fear gripped them.
