and is dat lil gal an ogbanje or wat....d story is juss lyk all dis chuna achebe stories... especially with d titles.... all d same nice work... keep it up!

Shebarh thanks for the compliment. At the start of the story, I said this is pure fiction; a figment of my imagination.

MzNelly:
A classic.

omokoladele:
Who killed d stranger?
Suspense!!!!

charijee:

Nice one touchmeder

Thanks guys; it promises to have you guessing and wondering whodunit?

lenmafon:
is that little girl an ogbanje child? cos i dont understand if she saw something which others did not see or can nathan be behind it and be pretending? kai touchmender come and clear this suspense pls

Ogbanje? Where from? Lenmafon nor use laugh finish me oh!

Let me explain again. Edugie is a mentally challenged child or has developmental disability (I made this clear at some point).
She happened to be in the parlour (under the dining table) when the stranger was making out with her mother. She saw it, Pamela (her elder sister) saw it too but their mother has asked them to lie about it.

Remember Edugie wakes up early around 5/6am. Yeah, so she woke up early and was the first to discover the stranger was dead. She could not communicate it in clear terms to Pamela, but she kept singing that nursery rhyme. She does not have a spiritual inside to anything neither is she an ogbanje.

Holla; Yola

Edugie was fast asleep by the time I entered the room- very unlike her. She usually sleeps late but compensates by getting up early. Sometimes I hear her singing quietly by 5 or 6 in the morning. It is very annoying but I've gotten used to it - it's like a lullaby for me now.

Osas shares the other room with Uncle Nathan. His room is much smaller. It was actually an extension of the girl's room but it was carved away to create an extra room for the boy's.

It is so small Osas has to use the same wardrobe with mummy in her bedroom while Uncle Nathan has his things in a box under the bed. Osas sleeps on the tiny bed while Uncle Nathan sleeps on the ground.

Sometimes when mummy is extra nice, Osas sleeps in her room and Uncle Nathan can have the bed to himself. It is quite rare though and in reality Uncle Nathan ends up sleeping on the couch if he can't bear the cold floor! Sometimes Niyi sleeps in the parlour with him but I don’t know where he would sleep tonight. I really don’t care.

Sometimes I wish we lived like a proper family like most of my friends. There is something terribly wrong about my own. I knew it right from time with that strange man coming in and out as he pleased. My mother said he was my father but I didn’t believe her. Some of my friend's father dropped or sometimes picked them up from school. But that man (who calls himself a father) had never done that for any of us.

He strolled in and out of our lives as he pleased but my mother never seemed to mind. I used to see him every weekend but it reduced over time. He came twice a month and later it dropped to once a month.

If I thought it was bad, I had another thing coming. It reduced to once in three months and only last year, he came twice! I'd never received a birthday card from him. I'd never spent Christmas or New-Year with him although my mother said he did when I was a baby!
