11am, Benjamin’s family house

“I think coming here is a bad idea, we should go back” i nervously muttered when we got to the gate. Amara scoffed and shook her head.

“no no no madam, we ain’t going back, we are already here and we have to go ahead with what brought us to this place, moreover it’s hundred percent your idea” she said to me as she firmly held my left hand.

Without another word, we walked into the compound, cautiously with prayers in our lips. We soon got to the entrance door, stopped and stared at each other nervously.

“what are you waiting for? C’mon knock on the door nau!” she urged as if it was a very simply thing to do. I swallowed hard, shrugged and knocked gently.

Two minutes later the entrance door was flung open by Benjamin’s mother, who stared at us with a serious but not mean look, breathed deeply and admitted us into the house polietly, even though her smile was heavily cloaked with sharp coldness.

I searched for Benjamin with my eyes as we walked into the sitting room, but unfortunately couldn’t locate him, which made me more uncomfortable, while his mum’s pointed gaze unsettled me greatly. I nervously settled on a couch with Amara dutifully beside me.

“my son told me you wanted to speak with me?” the old woman asked after some minutes had gone by. I breathed deeply, rubbed my knees nervously, nodded and smiled,

“please where is Benjamin?” i asked calmly,

“i sent him on an errand, i thought you only wanted to speak with me, don’t you?” she asked curiously with a burning gaze,

“yes ma, his presence is really not needed” i murmured with a coloured face,

“actually i came to render an apology” i stammered, while she drew forward on her chair, feigning surprise and pretending as if she wasn’t aware of what i came to do. Her action truly unsettled me further, i was so /so/ nervous. I was doing something i havn’t seen any girl do and the old woman was making it more difficult for me with her intense behaviour.

I tried to continue with my speech {apology} but was unable to, all i was able to do was just to throw a nervous glance at Amara who gave me an encouraging smile.

I never knew rendering a sincere apology could be so difficult. My phone however rang that moment breaking the tension and silence in the room. It was my mother calling.

“your dad was involved in a motor accident an hour ago, where are you?” i heard my dear mum say over the phone, leaving me dead with fright.

“oh no God why?” i cried, shocking everyone with my outburst..
