Chapter 30

Can we go to my house so we can talk about this issue? I want to know everything about Okyeame.

One day may not be enough to tell you about our ordeal.

Ordeal? Okyeame has been naughty?

He has made my mother resolve never to love again.

Asabea slumped on the last but one step. She refused to go any further than that. There was no more time to waste. Obaa Yaa had proved that she and her mother were hurting.

She held Obaa Yaa, refusing to let her go.

I’m fine.

It was time for the little girl to open up. Obaa Yaa sat down beside her.

Asabea needed answers and will not rest until she has found them. Although she has no feelings for Okyeame, she had a keen interest in looking into the issue.

Can you pour your heart out? I want to hear everything.

We are keeping so many secrets that I don’t know which one to tell first.

Start from somewhere. Anywhere will do.

My mum has been through a lot.

I can tell from her eyes.
