....I picked up the purse, went back inside the supermarket,and walked up to this very beautiful lady,she was dark,and of average heights....

She'd be older than me,I guessed...

Goodday,you dropped this,I said to her...

Oh my goodness, thanks alot,I didn't even know,you are so kind, God bless you.she said...

You're welcome,,bye,I said about walking out....

Please excuse me,you see I am new around,I wouldn't mind having a friend, especially a good one like you, of course if that wouldn't be a bother,she said....

Oh not at all,I replied....

I am Charis by the way and you,she asked..

Am Esohe,but Ese would do,I replied....

So Ese may I have your contact,she asked and then we exchanged our phone numbers and bidded good bye....

I got home and told dad what had happened,all my uncle had gone through..  

That woman is really evil,I mean how would she do that to your uncle,some women are very very wicked,he said....

Father it's well,I honestly hope,my uncle gets his life back in track, because he really loved his wife and he isn't deserving of such,,I said..

I was always going to check up on uncle and Abi, thankfully in two weeks time,uncle was called back to resume his job,he was very happy......

I had to take Abigail with me home,she couldn't possibly stay alone since uncle was always travelling......

I was doing well in my fashion school,I could make simple dresses,i was very proud of myself...

Immediately Abigail came to start living with me,mother stopped selling at home,she insisted Abigail should......

Soon Osato stopped going to hawk, saying Abigail who she was older than should go...

I couldn't understand what was happening, could it be that these people had not changed,were they actually pretending,I mean Abigail was the one helping me with some domestic chores,and she was also taking care of Mimi in my absence, since the term had gone far, Abigail wasn't going to school, uncle had said he'd change her school the next term,she was practically living with me,so he needed a new school closer to my place,, moreover,my uncle was sending money for us,but for mother and Osato's case,there wasn't any other place money was coming from except from the goods and they are refusing to assist...

One afternoon,father was watching TV with Mimi on his lap,when I went to him to tell him the situation at hand,mother and Osato and and even Nathan had stopped helping me in my sales oh, asking my cousin to do it, how can i send a child of 10years who doesn't even know the area that well to go hawking,when Osato who is almost an adult would seat at home doing nothing,father my uncle do send money to assist me almost weekly,what reason would I have to send his daughter to go hawking....I complained...

My daughter,I know you have a good heart,but please leave them alone to do what they like,if they have money let them take care of themselves,he said....

Father you are my major concern,I want to take care of you,at least till you are able to Stand on your feet,I have saved up to 70,000 for your drug,I need just a little more to buy the complete dose,so that you can start treatment,and by God's grace , you'd be okay again,I said....

I don't know what good I have done in this my life time to deserve a child like you, I may not be your biological father,but I am proud to call you my child,and if there's another thing am grateful about, is that you are the mother of my grandchild,I pray she emulates and be like you,he said....

Father you are making my head big,you are making me blush,I said smiling,father usually has a way of blowing my trumpet..

Oh my child I mean everything I say....

We hugged,and I was very grateful that father was with me....

I decided that Abi should be attending to customers who come to buy at home,I told her the prices of the goods,she was keeping my money by herself,while I continued going to my fashion school and hawing in the evening....

I also got a home teacher for Abi,to keep her busy before she resumes the following term..

I'd cook,and father, Abigail,I and my baby would eat together,I didn't care anymore,since they have refused to go out and make money due to laziness,I have refused to be the foolish one as well...
Days on, Osato came to my side, walked up to me and said....

Ese,mother said you should give her some money to cook ,there isn't any food in the house,she said.....

So from where should I get the money,I asked her,go tell mother I have no money to give,I said...

She walked out in anger,and I didn't even care...

In about 10 minutes later,mother came in
...

Esohe,I sent Osato to come tell you I needed money to cook,you told her to tell me you don't have?,she asked angrily...

Mother I don't have,when I agreed to get an apartment for you people to live here,I made it clear that you, Nathan and Osato, would support me in the business,and you agreed,you can't except me to carry the responsibility of the whole family on this little shoulder of mine, would you,I don't have money,I don't have money,I said.....

Edosa,so you sit there and watch Esohe disrespect me like this,,she faced father... 

Oh shut up that your mouth itohan,you are just shameless,you and your children do not want to assist in anyway,you should be grateful,for a child like Esohe,and I thought you had really changed,now I know that a leopard can never change it spot,father said.....

Well, don't worry,my children and I will survive without you two,she said and gave a long hiss, walking out....

I was so broken,how I wished I had allowed them go to the village,how I wish I didn't help them out,so many how I wish was going through my head......

But I was determined never to render a helping hand to them,father was my only priority in that house...

  
I told mama Ada about the situation,I told you,I have known mama Nathaniel for more than 8 years,I was the one that told them to move to our former place when they were given quit notice from their previous apartment,she doesn't like working,she believes a woman shouldn't do anything but sit back and enjoy her husband's money,she said...

But In a case whereby the husband finds himself in a situation as father, isn't the wife supposed to be of help,I asked...

My dear,a lazy person is a lazy person, nothing changes them....I thank God you are beginning to use your head,you are too young for the responsibility you are getting yourself into,you are barely 18,and you are carrying the responsibility of a 40 years old woman,as long as they have hands and legs,let them work and fend for themselves, Nathaniel isn't married to you yet, you don't even know what the future has in store for you,you must take care of yourself,and not live your life trying to please everyone, because you can never do that,the earlier you know that,the better for you, mama Ada said....

Thank you ma,I,Abi and mimi stayed with her for a while and soon headed home...

My phone rang one day,and I picked, it was Charis,am I speaking with Ese,she asked,yes please who's this,I had forgotten it was the girl from the supermarket....

It's the girl You helped picked her purse at the supermarket the other day,she said....

Oh, goodday Charis,good to hear from you,I replied... We started talking and even chatting, Charis was a beautiful soul to talk to, so nice and friendly....

She finally came visiting one day,she had a nice small car,she took me, Abi and Mimi to a fast food,all on her..

You know,you are very young to be a mother, what's your story,she asked....

Abigail and Mimi were having fun in the children's section,it gave room for Charis and I to talk,I told her how I made the mistake of my life that night,and everything there is to know...

Woowwww,you are one strong babe I know,you have been through what some grandmothers haven't experienced,she said..well that's life, it's not the same for everyone,I said....

We talked more,she told me about herself, she's one of those born with a silver spoon and then we were on our way home......

We got home and I made dinner for father,as Abigail and I weren't hungry,I made food for Mimi too..

Coming out later,I saw Nathaniel with a very beautiful girl coming out from their apartment,he was holding her waist,and they were smiling beautifully,,,

mother and Osato were behind them, coming closer to me,mother started,okay my dear,take care,better pikin, beautiful girl,my son's wife,she was saying all those I bet to provoke me, only if she knew Nathaniel meant nothing to me,aunty Chi,byee,Osato added...

Okay ma,bye, Osato bye,the girl said, Nathan held her waist again and they left....

Mother brought out some money and was counting,she counted about 5,000 see now,see the money my son's wife gave me,not like some,that will do little thing for you and they would want to turn you into a slave, rubbish,she said and she and Osato walked inside bursting into laughter..   

You mustn't let that bother you,father said....

Oh father, never, that can never bother me, Nathan means nothing to me,I said.....

Soon Osato started bringing men home too, Osato who was only 16, started sleeping out,father talked and talked but his words fell on deaf ears,since of course she had the backing of her mother,she stopped going to school,and I was so ashamed on her behalf.i soon heard she was working on traveling abroad.....

I had saved enough money for father's medicine,and I took him to the hospital for check up and to get the drug,I bought them,and the doctor told us how he should take them,and the little exercise he should be doing to help him,,,

It was Charis' birthday,and she came visiting,she was going to the orphanage home,but decided to come by my place, after all you are an orphan too, charity begins at home right,she said, teasing me,she asked me to come out, that she brought some items for me, getting outside,I was shocked to my bones,if only it was because of the things she had brought,it would have been better......
