“What happened Ceri? Who did this to you? You have to tell daddy so I can help you.!” 

How was she to tell him that she did not even know who the father was?  

Ceri looked down in defeat and shame. 

Mr Mariba would not let his daughter suffer shame and being outcasted, he would send his daughter away in the meantime to save her. 


 A fictional african Story. 

Will getting pregnant out of wedlock father unknown, outcasted from the community she grew up be the end of her? 

Ceri is determined to prove otherwise. Will she change the mindset that has been there for ages? 

.........

This is my first time attempt to write a short story.

The food was delicious though the braised port was not as good as his mom's cooking Metta thought rubbing his tummy. All he needed now was a glass of milk and he could quietly sit playing his Nintendo switch. 


This looked like an important dinner for his mom and he had promised to be extra well behaved tonight. Only that strange man Mr Maund kept looking at him, he seemed to have secretly taken a picture of him. 


"Does that child remind you of someone Eric?" His assistant whispered to him. 


"He even just glared at me, I think he saw me take a pic of him." How could he have seen that? I was very sneaky


"To show the old man when we get back off course!" 


" No! Find out more about his mother before we leave tomorrow" Eric told his assistant. 


"Do not mention or show the old man anything."
