A visit to Daniel's house.

"Who is Daniel, And where is he living?". My mum is the person that asked this particular question.

"Daniel is my friend!.

"We all know that he is your friend, if he is not your friend, He wouldn't have impregnated you in the first place. I just wanted to see him before your dad comes back from work ". My mum said and shake her head.

"I have not been to his house before ".

"What?".

"You haven't been to his house before.

Does it mean that you both slept with each other in the air or where exactly does it happen, foolish girl. How did you guys did it?".

"It's okay, my sister. Please, let's solve this matter amicably even though it's going to take a toll on everybody. Olivia said.

"We ...we always met at another place. I know his boss place".

"Hmmmm....wonders shall never cease, my mind is at peace knowing that my daughter is in school, not knowing that she is in the arms of another man. How foolish of your school Authority? Such negligence cannot be ignored".

"Okay , peace. Can we go to his boss place?". Olivia interrupted and I nodded my head.

We all left the house for his boss place but didn't meet Daniel in shop.

His boss gave us the address of his house even though, it's different from the address that he gave to me.

My mother thanked him and we all left for his parents house.

We got to the third building In the street of Munda and it lead us to a neighbourhood

The Neighbourhood building is built into five different apartments and it seemed that they rented the place out to them.

My mum got to the passage,

Looked back and shake her head.

We both stayed at the entrance while my mother went in.

"Good afternoon oo" she shouted and a young woman came out of the first room.

"Good afternoon, how may I help you?". She asked and my mother asked of Daniel.

"Daniel, I don't think he is at home o, but wait, let me check if his father is around". The young lady said.

Wait! Did she just mentioned "his father".

He told me that the man is dead!.

Is this lady sure that it is the Daniel that we are talking about....

After a while,

An average man of not less than 50 years came out of the room.

He looked agile and we all exchanged pleasantries.

I was shocked beyond redemption because I am looking at an agile man in front of me , instead of a dead man that Daniel claimed.

This guy tricked me,

And I've been a fool.

"How can I help you?". The man asked.

"We came for a VERY important matter"

"Very important,( The man looked around , sighed and lead us inside).

We all walked inside the room and it is occupied with chairs, and an old television with a Radio set.

We all sat down and my mum went straight to the point.

"Sir, I just discovered that my daughter is pregnant today. And as a disappointed mother, I asked for the person that is responsible for this pregnancy.

My daughter confessed and said that Daniel owns the pregnancy". My mum said looking towards the direction of the man.

"Are you sure about this? His father asked .

"Yes sir". My mother responded.

"It can't be true, I'm sorry, This came as a sudden shock to me because my son knows our capacity of living in this house. He knows about the daily struggle of feeding and paying for different expenses. How could he do this to me?

I need to confirm this, First". He said bringing out his small phone.

He dialled Daniel's number and placed it on his left ear.

He told him to meet him at home without divulging the reason to him.

He sighed after dropping the call and also called his mother to meet him at home.

Everywhere is tense and my mother's face is still gloomy.

After waiting for twenty minutes.

Both mother and son came back home.

After two months,

I got to see Daniel's face back.

He stopped communicating with me after I used the contraceptive.

He was shocked to see me but slowly walk inside.

His mother greeted us and his husband explained everything to her.

"Is it true?". His mother asked.

"It's just once, Dad. I only slept with her once. And I don't know if she has slept with another person. I might not be responsible for the pregnancy, afterall she used contraceptive the following day". He responded and my mother's face was written in shock.

She looked towards my direction but I looked away.

"You even used contraceptive. No problem, what are we going to do with the issue of this pregnancy?". My mother asked.

"I'm sorry to say this,

This came as a burden and total shock to us.

We trained our son in a godly and disciplined way.

I don't know the reason behind his stupid behaviour.

How did he expect us to feed the family and also a pregnant girl? His father thundered while his mother opened her mouth wide in shock.

His father run to his side and dealt blows across his body.

My mother and Olivia rushed to stopped him.

"It's okay sir, we are all disappointed at this attitude from the both of them.

They only sleep with each other without considering the consequences.

You didn't have any job to feed your unborn baby, Neither are you prepared emotionally and mentally to raise a kid.

Raising a kids came with alot of planning.

I don't know what my husband will do or say to me.

I have failed as a mother.

I hope this doesn't break her father into pieces?". My mum said and hot tears streamed down my chin.

Everyone is truly disappointed in me.

Daniel's father and mother promised to come to our house the following day, while we left immediately.

The next problem is how to face my dad.

That man will really tear me into pieces.

To be continued!.
