*EPISODE 15*
The whole matter was getting worst everyday. She was getting tired and couldn’t pray like before. Always thinking of how to escape from the prison called ”Home” her father has locked her in.
Just in few minutes, it will be time to sit together and eat. Also to know her father’s decision towards Enugu state.
“God…. please don’t turn your face away from me and let your light shine on me” Mercy prayed and as she was about to utter the other statement, her mother called her
“Mercy !!!” her mother said as she knocked her door.
She came out because she knew it was time to eat and she wasn’t going to let it pass. Instead, she held herself strong and was ready for anything that will happen.
Getting to the dining table, the food was set and served. She drew out a chair, directly in the front of her dad as she sat down. Her dad was looking at her but she acted as if he wasn’t in the front of her. Her mother kept looking at the both of them as she was thinking of a way to break the silence between them.
“So honey, what is your decision about mercy going to Enugu state because the day is drawing near. Moreover, Eniola and Enitan will be coming home next week. I don’t want it to be like the other time because of what happened, they left the house and I could feel from their reaction that they were not happy. Please let’s settle this and let peace reign for God sake” Her mother said as she pleaded holding her husband hand.
Mercy continue eating without raising up her head. She hated her father already whether he allowed her go or not, she was ready to pay back.
Her dad looked at her quietly and said “she can go… Her mother was so happy as she jumped on mercy without waiting for him to finish his statement as he raised his voice “…but she must know, I am still watching her”
Hmmmm....
