“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?

This is my first time attempt to write a short story.

They hugged each other. Ceri cried tears of relief. All she wanted now was to take Metta home, that was a scary ordeal for her. She was exhausted from lack of sleep and now excitement and relief, her body needed rest. 


Erik showed her a room to rest in after she ensured Metta was alright but she could not let go of Metta and they both went to lay down. 


"They cannot leave!!" Mr Cossa thundered. 


"Baba, I know but the DNA test will take three days to come back and if we ascertain that Metta is Ekas' son, only then can we take him away from her" Erik told his dad. 


"Let is not rush things, if we make her aware of our plan it may complicate things, we will find reasons to keep her here till the results are back Baba."


Ceri had a good nap unaware of the storm that was brewing.
