KAKA.
I was dumbfounded. I couldnt say a word. I didnt know where to start from. Amen.
Yes, Amen had never had a good record with us. He was the black sheep of the family. At age 15, his mother had already started complaining about him. He hung out with bad friends in the neighbourhood and smoked.

Then at age 17, Amanda had visited home with him, her husband and the two daughters she bore for him..
Due to the closeness between the both of them, Mesonma also came home just to spend time with Amanda and her family since they hardly came home.

And when Amen came home, it was trouble trouble everyday. We all knew that he brought home girls everyday, what we or i never anticipated was the fact that he was sleeping with both Kelechi and Chinasa under the same roof and they never said a word!

Only God knew how many more of his cousins he'd also slept with!

That night, when i was sure everyone was sound asleep especially momma since she was always in the habit of checking everyone in their rooms before retiring to bed herself.
So when i was sure she had slept, i went to Kelechi's room. The moment i saw her sleeping soundly on her bed, my heart shattered and hatred grew in my heart for Amen and all i planned to do was just kill him the moment i got hold of him.

I tapped her gently 'Kele' She stirred in her sleep but didnt wake. I tapped her again and this time she woke up. I saw the fear in her eyes. I wanted to reassure her that i was not there to frighten her or anything but i came so we could talk.

I looked at her tenderly 'why didnt you tell me?'

She looked down.

I held her chin and tilted her face up 'look at me. Dont be scared. Just tell me the whole truth. Why didnt you say a word?'

'he threatened me' she said 'he told me he was a very dangerous person. He even showed me a gun'

'a gun?'

'yes. That was after i saw him with Chinasa, i threatened to spill the beans. He beat me up that day and even when Chinasa tried to speak, he hushed her up as well'

'Jesus. After all this happened, who did the both of you tell?'

'no one. We promised to keep it a secret'

'does Chinasa know that he bleeped...i mean, pardon my bluntness, but does she know he slept with you too?'

'yes. I told her'

'and you guys foolishly didnt say a word!' i gasped.

'i'm sorry'

'there's nothing to be sorry about here' i rubbed my forehead 'i'm calling Amanda first thing tomorrow morning, that guy needs to be apprehended'

'no sis dont' she held my hand and looked at me pleadingly 'please just let bygones be bygones i beg you'

'shut up your mouth!' i said in fierce whisper 'do you think i'm as foolish as you are? Kro kro wey dey nyash, if dem no expose am, e no go go. Amen would be exposed. And if care is not taken, mumsi will hear about this and she'll call for a family meeting. Amen needs to be treated for all his fuckup! The last time i came, it took all my efforts not to beat the hell out of him, who is he highing for? That small rat of yesterday. Is he not just 20? I'll just break his head, he doesnt know me' i hissed loudly.

I just heard her sob 'sister, please dont do anything to Amen'

I heard something in her voice and i looked at her abruptly 'Kelechi, are you in love with him?'

She looked at me in shock, she opened her mouth to say something, then closed her mouth like a cornered rat.

'Kelechi!' i exclaimed 'how can you be in love with your own cousin?!' i placed both my hands on my head.

She started crying anew.

'no wonder you allowed him have his way with you. You love him Kelechi! Infact, i wont call that love because its obsession. Its never possible to fall in love with your cousin!'

She just started crying again 'sis, just forgive him. I already forgave him and i've moved on. I'm dating...' she paused and looked at me first probably reading my facial expression 'i'm dating someone else now. And i'm happy'

'and you have the stupid and shameless guts to open this cursed mouth of yours to tell me you're dating someone else? So i should clap my hands for you okwaya?'

She just sighed.

'Kelechi! You're too young to be dating. Though i started dating at a younger age, i wouldnt want you to make the same mistakes i made. Kele, please listen to me'

'i...i think i love Daniel'

'you think? Kele you dont love him! Who's this Daniel of a guy anyway?'

'the guy...you saw me with'

'Kele!' i sighed 'i just dont know what to say. I just dont want you to make regrettable mistakes. I have your interest at heart. Kelechi, i love you and i want the best for you. I just dont know how best to advice you. You're still young. But all the same, i wish you the best. You think you love Daniel right? Good for you. That doesnt concern me, thought dont get pregnant the way Amanda did and gave birth to a liability like Amen. And as for Amen, i'll handle him myself. To hell with your damn obsession for him. But firstly, i need to speak with Chinasa. I'm going to Portharcourt first thing in the morning'

And i meant it...

KAINENE.
'what are you going to do in Portharcourt!' i exclaimed as i held the phone over my ear.

'i am going to see my sister, Messy. Something came up'

'what came up?'

'i cant tell you now. I'm at the airport, soon to catch my flight. But dont worry, i go yarn the matter later later'

'ah! Too bad. MozB invited us for lunch at Rodinia oo. I wanted us to go together before. But since you're travelling, no matter. Safe journey darling'

'i love you darling. And i'm glad MozB finally came out of his shell. I'll call him later'

'i love you too dear. Take care of yourself for me you hear? Greet Messy for me'

'i will love' she hung up.

I checked my wristwatch and it was 11:48. MozB called me and i told him i wasnt coming with Kaka anymore as she was travelling. He said he was already at Rodinia and i told him i would be there in twelve minutes.

****

CHUKS.

'hello?' i said gruffly. Who was calling? Couldnt i get a good sleep anymore? It was an unknown number.

'hello Chuks' the familiar voice said.

My heart sunk. This was a Nigerian number, could it be that...
No way! Pamela couldnt be in Nigeria! There's no way thats happening. It was going to spell doom for me.

'Pamela?' i called to be sure.

'yeah thats me'

I quickly sprung up 'Pamela, dont tell me you're Nigeria!'

'live and direct. Portharcourt to be precise'

'Pamela!' i gasped. Oh no! Why was all this happening to me? Pamela's just out to ruin my life 'Pamela why? I told you i would come visiting? Why did you have to come?'

'i dont know whats wrong with you. I am in Nigeria, i am in Nigera. That one concern you. You said you will come, everyday you will come, since i did not see your breaklight what did you expect me to do nah? My children would not starve. Everything is your fault. If you had been a good man, i wouldnt have bothered myself coming down here. You know how much i hate coming down here to Niger because of my family but you pushed me to'

I just sighed again 'okay, so who are you staying with in Portharcourt now?'

'my sister'

'which of your sisters?'

'what is your business now eh? I am staying at my sister's place is simply i'm staying at my sister's place. Now you have two options. Its either you come to see me or i come over. Its very simple. My sister is well-to do oo, i will just borrow money and come to your house with your children, dont try me at all oo. Its her number i'm using to call you. Common card, i cannot afford. Wo, Chuks, dont provoke me oo! I did not come to Owerri because of certain factors and its all for your own good, because i know if i come there, i'll just disgrace you. And who even knows the lies you've been feeding all the people over there?'

'Pamela thats enough. Dont come over. I'll be the one to come over'

'okay, when are you coming?'

'next tomorrow'

'next tomorrow?! So you cant even come today? Chuka!'

'sorry dear but i have an important appointment thats going to bring me money tomorrow, so its not possible for me to come over but i would next tomorrow i promise'

'okay oo. Na you sabi' she hung up and i sighed. God help me.

***

KAKA.
I got to Portharcourt at about 2pm. I was exhausted. I boarded a cab straight to the estate my sister lived.

When i got there i knocked.

And who opened the door for me was Junior, her second son.

'aunty Kamsi!' he squealed and jumped on me 'longest time'

'how are you dear? Where's your mummy?' He took my small travelling bag from me and we went inside.

'mummy went to work. But aunty is around?'

'Queen?'

'no. Aunty Chidinma. And she came with her children'

'children?' i frowned in confusion 'Chidinma is in Togo and she isnt married. So what kids are you talking about? By the way, there's no way Chidinma is going to come down to Nigeria after what happened the other time. You want to play a prank on me right?' i pinched his cheeks playfully.

'its no prank' i raised my head to see Chidinma standing by the door leading to the hallway 'its me Chidinma, live and direct' I was shocked to my bones.

We all thought Chidinma was never going to come back again. Not after father disowned her. Yes, Chidinma and i had always been cat and rats. She would always say i was saucy and didnt accord her with the respect she deserves and i'll always tell her respect is reciprocal, if she doesnt respect me as her junior, how then did she expect me to respect her too?

'Chidinma?'

'what are you doing here? Daddy's girl' she eyed me.

'i should be asking you that question. Those Mesonma even know you're here'

'of course she does! You think Mesonma is uncaring like the rest of you?'

Just then a small kid ran out 'mummy! I'm hungry' she clung to her. And the kid had dreadlocks!
