章 1: Nancy’s POv
Paaa , I heard the sound echoed when I feel a sting in my left ear meaning my father had just slap me, a man who have never raised his voice at me before talk less of beating me but today he raise his hand to slap me, his princess,which tells me how much angry he is.
"Who got you pregnant? Look at the shame you brought to me.I love and care so much for you. I trust and boast about you but look , you went out there sleeping around and got pregnant at this tender age." My dad, Mr Kofi Owusu said with bitterness visible in his voice.
"Daddy, I am sorry I disappointed..."I didn't get the chance to finish my sentence before my mom, Mrs Aku Owusu shut me up.
"Shut your mouth! You better tell us which of the guy you were sleeping with got you pregnant or take whatever will come out of this act of yours. How will I face family and friends after they know what you have done?how ? Tell me."My mother speak to me rudely for the very first time in my seventeen years of life that I have known her.
"Mom, am sorry, please forgive me."I manage to say after all the accusations from my family even though I am hurt because they didn't ask me what happened but they just gave their own conclusions. Yes, I know I shouldn't have gotten pregnant at this stage of my life as the give me everything I want and need.
" Well, since you didn't know who got you pregnant because you were sleeping around with guys, when I send you to school to study and take over the business ,then I also won't use my resources on a future less daughter." My dad said and I couldn't stop the tears from running down my cheeks.
"So pack your things and go to the man that got you pregnant. Right this minute " Dad added and walk away from us. I fall to the floor as I feel all my world break and shutter .
No this can't be. Who will take care of myself and my baby?Where will I go now? 'God, please help me' I was praying when I heard take she also stood up and followed daddy.
" Honey, that's too much for her. You shouldn't let your anger take the best of you. You shouldn't ask her to live in her current condition. What if she goes out there and something happens to her" she said and and disappear leaving me and my kid brother.I know that is a mother's love for her child.
" Sister, stop crying. It's okay. Everything is going to be okay."Kelvin , my ten years old brother said, trying to consul me in the best way he know. After some seconds of crying I stood up and said " Kelvin, I am fine. I need to go and pack up before daddy come out of his room."
"Sister, I think you shouldn't go. Mom went after dad. You know daddy loves you and he just said that out of anger right?"Kelvin said
and just then mom comes out of their room .
"Nancy, your dad said you should stay and start working at the company on Monday ."Mom said to me as if I was just a worker and not a relative.
