"h-hello?, dad are you still th-"
"๐๐ ท๐ พ ๐๐ พ๐ ป๐ ณ ๐๐ พ๐ ๐๐ ท๐ ธ๐?" The normal, cheerful tone your dad once had was replaced with a serious intimidating one
"I was told somewhere" you gulped down nervously
"๐๐ ท๐ ด๐๐ ด?, ๐ ต๐๐ พ๐ ผ ๐๐ ท๐ พ?"
"I'm sorry father but I cannot disclose that information" Your dad sighed on hearing your answer
'besides you'll kill me if I told you' you silently thought
"๐๐ ด๐ ป๐ ป ๐ ธ ๐ ถ๐๐ ด๐๐ ๐ ธ ๐ ท๐ ฐ๐ ณ ๐๐ พ ๐๐ ด๐ ป๐ ป ๐๐ พ๐ ๐ ฐ๐ ๐๐ พ๐ ผ๐ ด ๐ ฟ๐ พ๐ ธ๐ ฝ๐ ๐ ธ๐ ฝ ๐๐ ธ๐ ผ๐ ด... ๐ ด๐ ๐ ด๐ ฝ๐๐๐ ฐ๐ ป๐ ป. ๐๐๐ ด๐. ๐ ธ๐'๐ ๐๐๐๐ ด."
and that was enough to make you choke on air
"How did this happen! I need to know" your tone had become a little bit serious on hearing the truth from your dad himself upon knowing it already

you sighed thinking your answer wasn't gonna be funny
"I have to kill my one true love" the line went silent again before a laugh ruptured from your father
"what's funny"
"๐๐ พ๐ ๐ ฐ๐๐ ด ๐๐ ท๐ ฐ๐ ๐ ธ๐ ๐ ต๐๐ ฝ๐ ฝ๐ ๐๐ ธ๐๐ ฐ" your dad bursted into a fit again making you angry
"why don't you believe me?" Your were getting mad

your dad chuckled over the line
"and you didnt try looking for a way out!?? You know what!, Don't believe me. I'm hanging Up bye father"
"๐๐ ฐ๐ ธ๐ ๐ ณ๐ ฐ๐๐ ป-"
And you hung up knowing it was very rude but you were angry.
Back at your country, trying this would be like your death. They'll give you some ass whopping with different varieties of weapons to choose from; belt, slippers, iron rod, rope, dead naked wires, branches from trees and so on or even probably lock you outside or worst, starve you.
African parents have their ways of always doing things and that's just a fact.
You kept thinking of your father's words over and over and it became quite reasonable of what he had said
'Kiki's a witch isn't she??' The thought kept running through your head
"unless" you gasped in fear for realisation
