SERIES:THE MISSING KEY (EPISODE 9)

**********
'10:15am'
“I can see that you
kids have
decided to disgrace
this
household, but I will
never
allow it.” Dad was
speaking to
Ada and John.
“I will not harbor a
rogue and a
prostitute in this
house,
never!!!” his voice
was so loud
that I could feel the
vibration it caused in
my room.

“I dedicate my time
and my life
trying to ensure
that you kids
get the best in life.
But
how do you kids
show your
gratitude? You miss
classes,
come home with
poor results,
sleep around,
smoke and get
pregnant!! Tell me
what father
will have this
knowledge about
his kids and be
happy?”
Ada raised her head
in shock
when dad
mentioned
pregnancy.
"How in God’s name
did he find
out that she was
under
suspicion
that she might be
pregnant? It
was then that she
realized that
she was in a more
serious
problem with dad.
She thought
dad was just going
to complain
about the cell phone
and then
the key and finally
conclude by
making them feel
silly and
everybody retires
into their
room. What did he
see in her
cell phone that
made him aware
of the situation?
Perhaps Vivian
replied the text she
sent to her
early this morning
and dad saw
it.
“Ada, how old are
you?” Dad
continued, “At such
a tender
age you think the
best thing for
you to do is to sleep
around?
Telling everybody
that you lack
home training?
Disgracing the
family?
Embarrassing me?”
They remain silent,
both
trembling in fear
and almost
wetting their pants.
“Look at you John,
you are
barely 14yrs” John
looked up
sharply, how could
dad say he
was 13yrs? “And all
you do is
sleep around and
smoke with
vagabonds in town?
No!! I won’t
take this! Not while
I am alive.
Ada you are not
going to
have your bastard
baby in my
house and you,
John, I don’t
breed thieves here
so you can
go and live with
your trainers so
that you can
perfect in the act
of smoking. I will
not, I repeat, I
will never spend my
money on
anyone who does
not want
it, neither will I
house such a
person.”
Mum had already
appeared at
his back. She had
read the text
message in Ada’s
cell phone and
confirmed what dad
told her.
She had allowed the
cell phone
to drop from her
because her
shivery hand could
hold it any
longer. This was
much more
than she could
handle. She
suspected earlier
that Ada was
already sexually
active but didn’t
know how to
approach her on
the
issue. The mother-
daughter
relationship she had
tried to
build between them
hadn’t
worked out mainly
because she
allowed herself to
be carried
away by dad’s lack
of attention
towards her and
the family
generally.
Now Ada was
pregnant. The
whole world will
blame her for
being a bad mother.
How could
she face this
shame? Her
daughter
was only eighteen.
Now from the
background she
stared at Ada with
a scornful
look. Different
emotions ran
through her. She felt
sad,
afraid,
disappointed, and
angry.
“Look at you Ada!
You don’t
know how to
respect yourself,
how can you make
yourself so
cheap for men? I
am
disappointed in the
two of you.”
Mum said as she
broke down
and started crying.
The air was so
tense that both
Ada and John felt
like the earth
should open up and
swallow
them, Ada felt
worse.
“I will never take it!
Once this
key is found or once
the door is
broken down, the
both of you
should leave my
house. You
can go and practice
your
prostitution and
thug life
elsewhere. Now
both should
leave my presence,
go to your
room and get
ready to leave my
house!!”
Ada and John turned
around
and began to leave,
while mum
continued to sob
loudly behind
dad. But dad wasn’t
satisfied
with his verdict,
especially given
the fact that they
both didn’t
show any sign of
remorse,
neither did they
hesitate and
beg.
“In fact, you will not
take
anything with you, I
don’t care
how you survive,
you will leave
this house with
nothing
because everything
you own, I
bought them with
my money.”
He added. He was
so hurt with
the new knowledge
about Ada
and John that the
only thing he
wanted to do was
to hurt them
back. How could
they disregard
him this way? To
dad, he had
been insulted
beyond a bearable
limit.
He felt really hurt
that his heart
ached; he felt so
much
psychological pain
that his eyes
were almost filled
with tears......
