….I arrived home, went straight to the kitchen but i noticed that Amara was yet to dished out the food. “What kind of girl is this”….I said
I hurriedly went to her room to call for her, as i approached her room, our room if i am permitted to say such, to my surprise, they was blast of music coming out from the room which could affect one’s eardrum. I knocked on the door but no one opened, i knocked again up to no avail. I decided to open the door- “Why is she playing that kind of music at this hour of the day” Lo and behold, i saw Amara naked on the bed with a guy riding her from the back.

“JESUS, AMARA, YOU” I said, trying to compose myself, perhaps shocked by what was happening in front of me. Hurriedly, the guy picked up his clothes and shoe and left the room without saying a word….Amara quickly tune down the volume of the music and the following conversation ensued.

*
Queen: “Amara! Amara why? Why do this to yourself?”

Amara: “Please don’t let mummy know about this”….She pleads….”If mummy ever gets to find out, i am finished”

Queen: “Amara i am disappointed in you. Do you know that you have sinned against the Lord. You have committed fornication. Oh my God, why Amara, why”

Amara: “Am so sorry….i promise it wont happen again. Please forgive me”

Queen: “Forgive you….you did not sin against me rather against God. So asked him for forgiveness and not me”

Amara: “Okay….i will ask God for forgiveness but please do not tell mummy about this” She said, going down on her knees and pleading with me seriously

Queen: (Heave a long sigh)….”Okay, i have heard you, i wont tell her but please never let this rubbish repeat itself again”

Amara: “Okay, i promise it wont happen again. Thank you very much, thank you”

Queen: “Its alright. I came to take our food but i can see that you were very busy, so i will dished it out myself and take it to the boutique. See you tonight. Bye”

Amara: “Okay thanks bye, tonight then”

*
….I was alone at the boutique, Aunty Grace was not around so i was all alone and suddenly my mind raced back to today’s encounter…..How can Amara be so cheap, having sex with a guy in her mother’s house. Oh lord, what is this generation turning into…Amara used to be a serious girl back then, but now she has changed totally. Amara wasn’t like this until when she drop out of the University, insisting that she was tired of school and wanting to learn about fashion and be a top model as well, ever since then she has been living a wayward life. It will be wrong if i don’t tell Aunty Grace about this but i don’t want to create an ugly scene in their home. I need to talk to Amara about this tonight and advice her to change her ways or else she left me with no choice other than to report her to Aunty Grace. I must talk to her tonight….

Queen: “Amara, you need to change your ways if i am being honest with you. I have been studying you for days now and you attitude is not something to write home about. Look, you are the first child of this family, your younger brother and sister should be able to learn good things from you and not the other way round. Imagine your sister came in and saw you with a guy, what kind of message are you trying to pass to her. Please amend your ways before it becomes late for you. Look at me, am 24 and yet i can boast of being a VIRGIN. I am not trying to say that not being a VIRGIN is a bad omen or whatever but what i mean is that our body is the temple of the lord so we must respect the body….I just hope you will change your ways, a word they say is enough for the wise. Good night Amara”

Amara: “Good night Queen”

Aunty Grace: “Amara, Amara”

Amara: “Yes mummy….you called me”

Aunty Grace: “Don’t lie to me or else you will regret it”

Amara: “I hope all is well mummy?”

Aunty Grace: “All is not well at all, in fact all will not be well until I know the person that committed such crime in my house”

Amara: “Crime? What crime are you talking about mummy”

Aunty Grace: “Who stole it?’

Amara: “Stole what?”
