As all this was going on, Tonia’s mother refused to do what she was asked to do because she can’t imagine herself going back to square one.
One afternoon, she was at her supermarket thinking about what her daughter told her, after some moments, she then looked at her supermarket and sighed
“This will be a very difficult thing to do, how can I sell my supermarket and empty my account to give the money to the orphanage and go back to square one with my daughter, No no no…. This will not work because I know how I suffered with my daughter when my husband died, now God have bless me, one pastor from nowhere want us to give all we have because of some ÇOçk and bull story about my daughter’s problem, No i can’t do it, never “Tonia’s mother thought in disagreement, as she was still in her shop thinking, mama Stella came to visit her, and from there she explained everything to her
“Ah…. My sister don’t try that oooo….. How can you sell this your expensive supermarket and empty your account for the orphanage, just because of your daughter’s problem, don’t try that, see don’t worry, there’s this strong native doctor I know, I believe he can help your daughter’s problem “Mama Stella advised
“That was what you told me the other time that your pastor will find solution to my daughter’s problem, but after everything, he couldn’t find solution to her problem and now you are telling me of a native doctor, noo… I can’t go to any native doctor, am a Christian, I don’t believe in such because is a sin before God “Tonia’s mother said in disagreement
“Look at the person am trying to help, so you prefer to go back to square one with your daughter? Mama Stella asked and Tonia’s mother was speechless that moment
“Not that I like to go back to square one, but my major problem is, you know I don’t believe in native doctors, and besides what if we go to the native doctor and my daughter’s problem still continue? “she said and mama Stella sighed
“See! There’s nothing to worry about, your daughter’s problem will be over once we visit the native doctor, so worry less ” mama Stella assured but still Tonia’s mother wasn’t comfortable with the idea
“Am not just comfortable with this native doctor of a thing, am a Christian, you know God will not be happy with me “Tonia’s mother said and mama Stella hissed
“Which Christian? Me am I not women’s leader in my church, but yet I do go to native doctor at times, see my sister, not every problem church can help you, all the one you have been going, were they able to find solution to your daughter’s problem? you have to use your common sense “mama Stella said and Maria thought about it, after some moments, she finally Agreed
“Ok, no problem, so when are we going there? Tonia’s mother asked
“Today is what? Mama Stella also asked
“Tuesday”
“Ok! We will go there on Thursday, I hope that will be okay by you? Mama Stella asked trying to be sure
“Why not, it will be okay, but first I will talk to my daughter about it before we go there, if only she will agree to go with us “Tonia’s mother said
“Even if she refused to go with us, you can go on her behalf, after all they are doing all this for her own good, or does she prefer to do what that so called pastor told her to do, anyway just discuss it with her, if she refused to go with us, then we go without her “mama Stella said and then spend some moments with her friend in the supermarket, after that she left.

When Maria closed from her supermarket, she went home and told her daughter about what mama Stella told her, but Tonia refused and insisted that they must do what the pastor told them to do, and her mother said over her dead body will she do that
.
Later that same day night when Maria was sleeping, in the sleep she was dreaming, on that dream, she saw herself in her supermarket counting a bundle of money, as she was counting it, someone tapped her from behind in her dream, she turn to know who was that, to her surprise it was Nathan sitting on a wheelchair, with tears on his eyes, when Maria saw him, she was frightened because she knew that he was dead
“Stop wasting my money unnecessary, no matter where you go to find solution to Tonia’s problem, my curse will continue to haunt her! It will haunt her.. it will haunt her…… “Nathan continue saying this and then he disappeared, with fear Tonia’s mother screamed and jumped up from her sleep…..
