*DAVID*
*Episode 15*
David grew up and he became addicted to stealing but it wasn't his fault, it was a spiritual arrow. Mr and Mrs Alabi were too busy, as they forgot their roles and impact in the lives of the children.
Mrs Alabi screamed and everyone in the office kept looking at her. She picked her bag, and ran out of the office like a mad woman. She got to David's school and barged into the principals office without knocking.
"Good afternoon sir. I am David's mother" She said rashly.
"Oh, you are the one who gave birth to a thief that want to tarnish the school image. Madam, what have you been doing? Do you even pray for your children every day? What foundation do you lay down for them? Bible says, train up your child in the ways of the Lord that when they grow up, they shall not depart from it. So, which way are you training him? Principal said.
"No!!! My son is not a thief and please, where is he? She asked, ignoring the other questions.
"Your son should be at home, the school bus left not quite long" He replied.
"Thank you sir" She said as she left the school premises.
Getting home,
She brought out her key, and opened the door because she has instructed them, to lock the door since mama wasn't around.
"David, David, David" She shouted as she entered
"Ma!!!" he answered looking down.
"Why are you facing down? Look at me. Ooo, you know what you did abi? She said and did not allow him speak before she started beating him.
"You won't kill me; I did not kill my mother. You allowed your principal to insult me" She said as she continued to beat him.
"Mummy!!!" David shouted and Mrs Alabi turned around to check who called her, but she didn't see anybody. She became frightened and looked at David.
"Did you just shout at me? She asked.
"Yes I did because, you won't listen. You don't care, to hear what I had to say. Do you believe I did it? Answer me mom he said. Mrs Alabi broke down in tears as she became confused, not knowing what to say.
"Answer me mom" He said again.
"I don't know what to say" She said as she started crying.
"Hmmm, I think David is under a spell. God, I need your help" She thought and kept crying
Mrs Alabi had to carry her cross alone, since mama was not there to help her. Tolani, who was sitting in a corner, couldn't stop crying seeing her mother's tears.
She sneaked out of her corner zone to check what David was doing, since he ran into his room. David was crying, he doesn't understand how it happened. He couldn't just stop crying and Tolani cried more, when she saw David's tears.
They were all crying and did not notice, when Mr Alabi arrived
"Where is that useless son and mother? Mr Alabi shouted, as he got down from his car.
He opened the door and everyone at home became scared. Mr Alabi attitude became worst after the healing of his leg, he resumed back to his position as the lion of tribe of Judah that the children became scared to talk or sit with him.
He doesn't drop money at home regularly; Mrs Alabi was the one providing for the children including their wares. All he does was to pay for the children school fees and provide for food.
Mrs Alabi would always advise her children; to know the kind of family they are getting married to, especially the females.
"What happened? Why are you calling your son useless? He is not useless in Jesus name" Mrs Alabi said as he entered.
"Why won't he be useless, when he came out from a useless mother" Mr Alabi said.
"Oh, who are you to blame me, when a useless man deposit a useless sperm" Mrs Alabi said out of anger and was ready to face anything.
"You called me a useless man" He said as he ran towards her to beat her.
"Daddy, please stop” David said, as he ran towards him. He held his legs as he kept weeping.
"Daddy, please stop instead of her, hit me. I beg you sir" He said.
"Get your filthy hands off my legs, you thief" He said and kicked him.
"Wow" Mrs Alabi said, as she planned to hide it from him. She wondered how he knew about it.
"Did the school also call daddy too" David thought. Mr Alabi walked straight to the kitchen and suddenly, they heard a sound.!!!
