Must Read: THE CONSEQUENCES OF BEING WICKED - Season 1 - Episode 5

When Rosa went down stairs to spread cloths later that day, she was still sobbing silently and when their neighbors, Mrs Ugwu and Nwora saw her as they were returning from the market, they tried to find out what was wrong with her but she refused to talk fearing for her dear life.

The two women decided to go and talk with Chidinma the next morning
It was not a secret how Chidinma maltreats her house helps and of course, Rosa was not an exceptional
“This is getting too much” Mrs Ugwu said. “One day this woman will kill this girl in this very compound and then the police will come and pack all of us to their station and there they will tell us how much to pay for ‘I no follow’.

Mrs. Nwora couldn’t help bursting into laughter after which she said ” Do you know that Ijeoma my house help told me that this woman despite their wealth, did not only starve this girl but also design her body with razor and subjected her to all sort of cruelty’ and to make matters worse”, she continue, “this woman had been collecting Rosa’s school fees from her husband but did not let the poor girl go to school and her husband who would have done something about it did not even know because he never came home from work earlier than 7 pm most days. What sort of wickedness is this ” she queried.

The next morning, after Chinedu had gone to work, the two women went to Chidinma as.

they had planned but unfortunately for them , Rosa had told them that she was not at home .
“She went for Friday prayers,” Rosa said.

Chidinma left very early that morning with five set of 10 liter gallons of water for collecting holy. water all packed into the boot of her car.

“Friday prayers indeed”, Mrs Nwora had sneered
“just imagine this wicked woman O! After maltreating her maid, she had the effrontery and hypocritical piety to go for prayers with gallons for collecting holy water! There is nothing one cannot see oo. Saint Michael,” she sneered.

Mrs. Ugwu sighed “I. wonder at the level of hypocrisy in this our society . People commit all kinds of atrocities ranging from pirating people’s book, music and films, adulterating drugs that could lead to death of thousands , kidnapping, raping or killing others for rituals or political reasons, snatching properties from widows , orphans, and the helpless and yet they think that God did not see them. They dress up and rush to sit at front row in the church , all pious and ‘holier than thou’, stupidly expecting God to answer their hypocritical prayers!”

Don’t they know that he who goes to equity must go with clean hands?” Mrs. Nwora interjected in bewilderment .

“NNE let’s go, we shall come back tomorrow . Chidinma had not heard the last from us”. Mrs. Ugwu promised as they left.
