Chapter 38

Ifeoma had been uncomfortable about the smiles that lingered around mama's lips for a few days now. It was like she had something up her sleeves. Fikayo's restlessness was even more uncomfortable and she found herself wondering what was wrong with the duo.

It was a Saturday evening and she had just returned from the hospital and also her mom's place when she walked into her home and found mama, Fikayo, mama's younger sister and another elderly man she doesn't really remember seated in the parlor.

Fikayo was uneasy and sweating profusely as he saw his wife walk into the scene. He kept saying silent prayers as he stared at her confused demeanor.

"Good evening ma and sirs." Ifeoma greeted them bending her knees a little.

"I see why you don't like her, she really is uncultured." Mama's sister, Bukky whispered loudly to mama and even though Ifeoma heard it, she decided to ignore it.

"Get us something to drink and come back to sit. We are all here for you." Bukky said again.
