I sat at the car crying helplessly,my
mum had
just been shot dead by some
unknown
men,my mum and i were on our
way to her
friends place,she wanted to
reveal a secret
to me.i shaked her lifeless body
hoping she
would respond and come back
to live,my
dearest mum,i picked up my
phone and
dialed my dad’s number,he
picked it almost
immediately
Dad:hello
Me:daddy mum had just been
shot
Dad:is she dead?
Me:yes dad please come
Dad:what?? Dead ke,okay i am on
my
way,where are u
Me:at festac on a lonely road
covered with
bush
Dad:what are u saying,is that an
address or
what
Me:dad please just come please
Dad:anyway i know the place,am
coming
now…call ends.am Chidi,from the
family of
mr & mrs Ojo,a wealthy chief,u
might be
wondering why am answering
an igbo
name,it because my mum is an
igbo
woman.i was born with a silver
spoon
unlike most children,am in my
early 21 while
i have a senior brother yomi who
is 3 years
older than i am and a junior
sister Bisola
who is just 17 years of
age,myself and Bisola
seen more closer to my mom
while Yomi
was my dad’s pet,his photo copy
and
character,anywhere you see my
dad you
Must see Yomi,i had always
wondered what
business this two has always.
In no time my dad came into
view with
Yemi,i was seating close to
mum’s remain
crying
Dad:Chidi,come lets go,your mum
brought
this upon her self,i warned her to
stay in
doors today…i just sat with my
eyes fixed on
my mum’s corpse
Yomi:com’on chidi
Me:dad why,mum is gone,i can’t
leave her
here…he brought out his phone
from his
side pocket and made some
calls,he finally
called for an ambulance which
came and
took mum’s remain away.Yomi
drove my
late mum’s car home with me
seated at the
front seat with him crying while
dad’s driver
drove after us.
On getting home i met Bisola,she
was back
from school,she saw me crying
and rushed
to me
Bisola:chi,what’s wrong
Me:mum is dead
Bisola:how,where,when,what do
u
mean,explain please
Me: (confused,not knowing what
question
to answer first) she was shot by
some
unknown men
Bisola:nooooo,it cant be,tell me it
a lie…she
fell to the ground wiping,Yomi
just stood
watching us,i could see regrets
writen all
over him.i never expected him to
cry
because he had a stone heart like
my dad.i
heard bisola,trying to console her
in my own
tears.
I lied in my bed trying to
remember what
mum was telling me before the
known men
blocked our way and killed her,
Mum:my husband your dad and
his son
yomi are..(she paused and
shaked her head
as tears welled her eyes)
Me:are what mummy,is it about
them always
being together?
Mum:when we get home,remind
my to give
u the disk i kept under my
bed….oh under
mum’s bed,i stood up,ran to
mum’s room
but to my surprise dad has
locked it up,he
met me there trying to open the
door
Dad:chidi cant u see the door is
locked
Me:sorry dad
Dad:what are you looking for in
your mum’s
room
Me:i feel she’s there dad (i lied)
Dad:your mum is dad and gone u
wnt ever
see her again,just get over it

for u
Me: okay dad(i made to go but he
called me
back)
Dad:did your mum tell you
anything before

Me:yes
Dad: (with kneel interest)what
could that be
Me:she said i should take care of
Bisola and
always respect u(another lie.i

that)
Dad:is that all
Me:yes daddy
Dad: okay go to your room and

Two weeks later my mum was
given a
befitting burial,i nearly cried my
eyes
out,Bisola on her own part
refused to be
consoled,i could remember Dad
telling her
Dad:your mother is dead,those
that want to
die would die too,no amount of
tears you
cry would bring her back…i
weakly walked
up to Bisola,held her up and said
to her
Me:mum is gone,all we can do
now is to
make her proud of us by fishing
out her
killers
Bisola:and how do u intend to do
that
Me:stop crying and follow me to
my
room…she wipe her tears and
sluggishly
followed me to my room,all this
while i
refused to notice Yomi
presence.we entered
my room,i made her lied down till
she slept
off.
The next day i wokeup,went to
greet daddy
only to realize he had left for
work with
yomi,i walked back to my room
where Bisola
was still fast asleep,i sat down
thinking.one
wonderful thing about my family
is that the
boys were very handsome so
was Bisola
and my late mum beautiful,Bisol
a’s call
brought me back to sanity
Bisola:chidi
Me:yes dear
Bisola:i saw mum in my
dream,she kept
mentioning we should go to her
room,under her bed…i was dumb
founded,i
had same dream too
Me:what,how come we had same
dream
Bisola:mum is trying to give us a
message
Me:yea but bisi can u imagin dad
and yomi
had gone to work,no respect for
mum’s
death
Bisola:you know dad believes in
the saying
that the dead are dead so the
living
continue life
Me:no bisi,i suspect dad’s hand
in mummy’s
death
Bisola:say no such thing,why
would u even
think of such…i told her a little
mum told me
before her death and the room
of a
thing,Bisola was
dumbfounded,we stood up
and made to my mum’s room
and as usual
the door was locked,we tried all
we could to
open it but the door refused
opening.we
were disappointed as we went
back to my
room to await dad’s return
Bisola:what business is dad really
into
Me:i swear i have no idea,the last
time i
asked mum she said the only
knows dad is a
businessman but the business
she knows
not
Bisola:and she never bothered to
ask her
husband the kind of business he
is into?
Me:i asked her that and she said
that each
time she ask dad,dad rebuked
her
Bisola:then i suspect a foul play
Me:from today bisola,we are
strengers in
this house,mention nothing to
dad nor yomi
Bisola:yomi ke,i cant remember
the last time
we talked
Me:better,aint you hungry
Bisola:no am not…i the evening
dad came
back with yomi and bisola
attacked him
with questions
Bisola:dad who died in this
house few days
ago
Dad:what sort of nonsense
question is
that,u cant even greet
Bisola:dad just answer me
Dad:my wife,your mother of
course
Me:i don’t think so because if she
was you
would have respected that fact
and give her
the mourning she deserves
Bisola:exactly where i was
driving to and
this fool who calls him self my
senior
brother went to their stupid
work with his
stone hearted father
Dad: (yomi made to beat bisola
but dad held
him back) i can see you both had
lost your
manners to your mothers grave
but
remember the dead is dead and
gone
Bisola:and should be mourned
daddy but
your heartless soul won..a slap
from daddy
landed on her face
Dad:you idiot,you now insult me
in my own
house?
Me:daddy you should be
ashamed of
yourself,your wife di (another
slap caught
my face)
Dad:leave my presence you two
fools
Me:dad we would leave
Bisola:yes we would leave but be
rest
assured that since you refused to
fish out
mum’s killers,i would do that
myself
Dad:yes do that miss inspector
general of
police,now get out of my front
Me:and you yomi,you might be
older than us
by age but i see you are purely
without
brains(he made to slap me but i
held his
hand)dont try this again in your
life time

present…he withdraw his hand
from mine
and looked at me meanly
