…..Mrs Gloria burst into tears,,,thank God for directing you back home Faith, am so sorry for everything I did,please my child, I allowed the devil and jealousy take over my head, you are such an amazing child, I am so proud of you,,, I am sorry for everything…
After she had finished and displayed her drama, I then looked at her and said ,I am not Faith, I am Charity,her twin, I said, you are not Faith, Bola what’s happening here,,she asked,,, we should be the one asking you that, where is my daughter, Father asked in anger,,,,,we have heard how you turned my child into a slave, how wicked and heartless can you be,,,if you knew you wouldn’t take care of her like yours why did you take her in the first place, father was shouting this time, it took Derrick to calm him down….
Lady G,nurse Bola said,this wasn’t what we agreed, why did you maltreated the child,,, why,no Wonder I haven’t have peace for some years,the cry of the Innocent child as been tormenting me for been the master planner,,,how could you…
you are evil, I gave you my daughter, because you promised me she will have a better life with you, and that you will take good care of her like yours,,,,why did you betray that trust,,what did my daughter ever did,that you had to make her a slave,,, that child calls you mother…. You are heartless and full of wickedness,,, mother spoke in so much tears, I couldn’t help but cry as she spoke….
I am sorry,I am very sorry,I feel so ashamed of all I have done,,, that child brought happiness, and peace to my home, Mrs Gloria started, she was a bundle of joy to my family, my life and that of my husband, had new meaning because of her,,my husband’s businesses grew rapidly because of her,,, we loved her so dearly like ours,,,,she was doing so great in school, the top of her class,the coordinator of the drama group in her school, she was simply put as PERFECT at all she does,,,,,I loved her and was very proud of her,,, three years after I took Faith in,I gave birth to my child, who till date is a miracle child, because like I told you two then, doctors home and abroad have said I can’t conceive a child,,,, I was happy that I am a mother of two princesses, but as they grew and we went out,,,people always loved and appreciated Faith the more, she was everything my daughter wasn’t,,, academically wise, she was way better than my child, at relating and been loved by people she was better too…
Some people even use words like, haba Miracle, you are nothing like your big sister Faith, you are just so different,Mrs Gloria your older daughter is a queen,may be because she came after so many years, God really created her in a very special way,,,,,all the praises and love from people to Faith made me and my husband changed towards her,we began to see her like a threat to our biological daughter, like she was covering our daughter’s shine,,,we decided to maltreat her,so that we can bring her down or somehow stop her shine,we would give her a lot of house chores to do before going to school and when she gets back, she would treck to school Instead of riding with miracle to school, all these to make her exhausted and not concentrate in class,,, but all to no avail,she was still top in her class,doing even better,,,,I heard her crying one day,in her room,and she said no matter what she will do her best in class so that she will make I and her daddy proud,, ,oh my poor Faith, doing her best to make us proud, if only she knew that was the problem…
I was wicked to her,I was, oh I was,,,,she said amidst tears,but I am sorry, so sorry,I regret my actions and am so ashamed of myself…I was a good mother at first,I allowed people’s comparison changed my mind,when I was supposed to stop them, not to compare my two daughters,,, I am really sorry,,,Faith was a charming child, she didn’t deserve any of those things I put her through…. I am sorry
Mam ,you keep saying was,was was,where is she now,Derrick asked….My son,,,I don’t know.. You don’t what,Father shouted,where is my daughter,,,, mother was already crying,profusely on the floor. A child in your care,how can you say you don’t know where she is,,,, Nurse Bola asked…
Early five years ago,,,,she beat up my daughter miracle, for slapping her,Miracle my daughter, got to understand we treated her in a more special way than her big sister,hence started misbehaving,,, that day she had slapped Faith for not getting her food, and Faith couldn’t take such disrespect from her younger sister, she beat miracle up,,when I returned from the shop,miracle told me all that happened,,I confronted Faith and she said she couldn’t take insults from her baby sister, I was furious,and I lashed out on Faith for raising her hands on my child, I was so angry that I bathed her with pepper and flogged her mercilessly,,,, am sorry,,,
Ijesu ,Ijesu,iwu,iwu,oh my God,,, my own child, chai am finished,father shouted,trying to pounce on Mrs Gloria, but was held by Derrick.. How evil can you be,he shouted more. Where is my daughter you evil woman…
Am sorry,please I am,Mrs Gloria said again,I don’t care whether you are sorry or not, where is my child.. Father replied,, she left the house,that day, and never came back,,, I told my Friends and her friends who came looking for her she had travelled, whereas she was missing,,,,,and you never made any report that she was missing, Derrick asked,,,,I was afraid to do that, I knew they would arrest Me for child abuse, If I told them what I did,that made her left the house…..
You are evil,, Gloria,I regret convincing Mrs Clement to give you her child… I just sat there in so much pains and tears,,,there I was thinking I went through hell for been mistaken for my sister, little did I know she was in worse pain,life been taken out of her by those that ought to have given her life,,,indeed people her wicked..
She turned to us one after the other, I really need to see Faith,,,my daughter Miracle,has been sick, we have taken her to all the hospitals, non could diagnosed what’s wrong with her, they said it wasn’t medical but spiritual, I took her to a Bible believing church,and the pastor said God told him,my daughter is okay, only Faith’s forgiveness can make her whole, my daughter is currently with my mother, I and my husband are doing all we can to find Faith,,, but all to no avail..
You haven’t seen anything yet,,you see your life, Karma awaits everyone,,,,,, just pray,,,I find my daughter, and in one peace for that matter, else you will be sorry,,Father said…
LET’S GET OUT Of HERE …
He shouted.
