2years Later

I was lying in my bed on a Saturday morning when a call came in. it was an international number but I don’t have it on my phone book.
‘hello….hello Daddy!’ it was a distressed voice, it sounded like Isabella and before I could mutter anything out, she said ‘Daddy it’s me Isabella!’.

I jumped off the bed like I just had an electric shock. I hadn’t heard from her and her mother for the past two years, since Andral and Nnamdi
relocated to the United States of America after my father in-law disowned her. ‘Isabella how are you? Ar..ar..are you okay?’ I was stammering,
confused and agitated, not knowing how to react to the child I once shared a close bond with. ‘Daddy I’m fine’ she replied ‘I have missed you
some much Dad please come and take me away from here’ she was sobbing and I was thrown into more confusion. She had made several efforts to call me in the past but I think the mother eventually got the best of her, probably threatening her. Since then we could no longer reach each other. ‘Isabella are you ok, why are you crying?’ ‘I’m at the Police station dad’ ‘Police what?!’ I barked. ‘Where are your mother and Nnamdi?’

‘They have been arrested dad, they were caught with drugs and guns in the car……..’ as she was about to give me further information about the
whole incidence, an adult male, probably a white guy(based on his phonetics and accent) took the phone from her and continued ‘hello, am I
speaking with Mr. Benjamin Onwubulu?’ ‘yes you are’ I replied, ‘ are you acquainted with Isabella Onwubulu and Caleb Onwubulu?’ hearing this
strange man call out those names shocked me to my bone marrows. All the while I thought Andral and her new husband would have since
changed those children’s names to suit their new biological father. I was wrong.

Without hesitation I responded ‘yes, they are my children’ ‘Ok
good, we understand that you live in far away Africa sir?’ no sir you are wrong I don’t live in Africa, I live in Nigeria which is a country in Africa’ I fired.

I was tired of Americans and Europeans alike marginalizing Africa as if we all live in one small place and even speaks the same language. ’Oh
ok, thanks for clearing that up sir but I have to say that your attention is needed here in the USA as soon as possible otherwise these children
will be taken to foster homes for better parenting’ he was sounding like he was enjoying this and I was getting really irritated at his audacity.
