Family Affair

Episode 22

Our Daughter

“Well, unfortunately, we did not come here to discuss about your husband’s duty to you today. He is a man and he tried to the best of his capacity. But you as a woman, you didn’t even perform your role at all.” Mr.Nnamdi said as he coughed

“That being said, he also told us that he forced and lured your sister to sleeping with him due to your failure in performing your duty.

. This he agreed that he was at fault.” Mr

. Nnamdi added.

“But most importantly why we are here today is that, he also told us that, he caught you sleeping with your niece. And now, Helen is also pregnant for him which was the sole reason you sent her away. So what do you have to say to all of these?” Mr. Nnamdi finally said.

Angry about the whole manner the story was narrated in favor of his husband Marvelous, she said “Since you all have already believed Marvelous’ side of the story even without hearing mine, I do not have anything to say”

At this point, their mum finally coughed out and said with tears rolling out from her eyes “Constance why? Why did you do this to us? What has come over you?”

Angry about the whole thing, she busted out and said “Why is the focus of these whole issue directed towards me alone? Isn’t Helen and Marvelous part of this whole crime?”

“Helen is only a child. She is just 22

. If not that those things on her chest tend to grow faster than her brain” The mum said

“What nonsense child. A university graduate, you are calling a child. A child, and she couldn’t report when my husband forced himself on her? A child and she knows perfectly where the thing is to enter? Please spare me that childish storyjare.” Constance said and hissed

Standing up this time around, the father pointing to Constance, he said, “Before our daughter left this house to school, she wasn’t like this. Before she left school to your place, am sure she wasn’t too. If she has grown in these things you mentioned as you claim, then it is you that taught her”

At this Constance was shocked and said “Oh, it’s now even ‘our’ daughter? What am I then? Now I see”
