CHAPTER 5

Things began to go out of shape as Seth's parents marriage went sour. Ariana received a divorce letter from her husband one morning while Seth was away to play. She was shocked that it had reached that level.

She pleaded with her husband to give their marriage another chance. She didn't know what to do as his mind was made up already. All he wanted was her signature on the paper.

She informed his parents about his action but was shocked at their response. They told her to accept it because she can't live with a jerk anymore as that was how they thought she referred to their son.

Unknown to her, Chris had brainwashed his family already. Ariana had no where to go and no one to complain to. She wished she had her family with her. Her in-laws started to ill treat her too.

They tried to hide their divorce case away from Seth but it wasn't for long. Seth found out and when he confronted his parents, his mother tried lying again but this time, it didn't work as Chris told him the truth.

He blackmailed his wife in the presence of his son and tried to convince him that she was a bad woman.

He told him that he would be living with another woman who would love and care for him unlike his mum who was a bad person who always scold him and never allowed him to live like other children.

They got their divorce but had an issue. Both wanted living with their son but none wanted leaving him for the other. Ariana decided to leave the house but she allowed his father to see him.

At school, Seth couldn't concentrate anymore because of what was happening in his house. His graduation from nursery III party was drawing near and he wanted both his parents to attend. That was not possible now as they had divorced.

His mother came for him and was there through out but unknown to them, Chris was also there. When he was called upon for his gifts, both his parents came to snap with him.

Immediately the programme was over, he gave his son gifts and left after giving him a big hug and went back to work.

Seth was left with struggling tears in his eyes. He missed his father and wanted both his parents back.

He sat all alone while his mates were playing. His class teacher came by and asked him what the problem was.

Her name was Ms. Stephanie and she knew his parents well. She asked him if he was suffering from a broken home but his respponse shocked her.

He said "nothing is broken, is just that they just are not husband and wife but still my parents. It's not a broken home when you still have thesame love from your parents."
