I was eased up when I saw beams of light shinning brightly like a morning sun in the lounge.
I breathed out heavily like a man who had been weighed down by some mental stress.
I and my child slept in the living room as all the rooms were locked.
My mother later called in the midnight and asked if Ben is still behaving weird.
I was short of words and did not know what to say "Mama,if you come tommorow,I will tell you everything" I said as I gulped in a mouthful of water.
"Okay nwa m nno" okay my daughter thank you" my mother muttered before she hanged up.
Early the following morning,my mother arrived with her bells on. I was astonished she came at that early hour.
"Welcome,mama" I said when I hugged her passionately.
"How are you dear and how is my grandchild" she asked.
I sighed and said with low tone "we're fine".
My mother did not stop smirking when she was singing lullaby for her grandchild.
"My daughter, your body is full of bruises! Who did this to you?" Mama said with his countenance gloomy. "Wait is it Ben?"
I was dumbstruck because words failed me and tears started drizzling from my eyes like a rain
"Ben! Ben! Ben!" My mother roared angrily
Ben heard her voice and dashed out. He saw mama and his face said it all that he was unhappy.
"Why did you lay your filthy hands on my daughter,you He goat?" Mama asked pointing fingers at Ben.
Ben did not utter any word as he went back to his room.
"Have you eaten anything since yesterday?" Mama asked me.
"No! I haven't mama, I'm so hungry" I replied.
Mama went to the kitchen and saw that the cupboard was locked.
"Where is the key to the cupboard?" Mama asked as though she was infuriated.
"I know not of it Mama, maybe, Ezinne is with it" I responded.
"Where is she?" She asked
"In her room" I answered like I was pleased as punch.
Mama went to her room and kept knocking because the door was locked. The clamorous sounds of the knocks made Ezinne to blow a fuse.
She opened the door and was shocked when she saw Mama
"Where is the key to the cupboard" Mama said with a loud voice–not deafening.
Ezinne brought out the key and hesitated to give it Mama but she forcefully collected it from her.
She started howling feignedly when Mama went into the kitchen.
Her brother who had dressed for work heard her dissembled cries and ran out immediately.
"Ezinne what is it?" He asked curiously.
"It's Mezuo'mom,she took the key to the cupboard away from me" She answered with his visage full of tears.
"Mtchewww! is that why you are crying?,you are no longer a kid remember" Ben said and sighed as he left the scene.
Ezinne could not believe that his brother can say that to her. She froze and stayed at a spot cogitating about the event that just occurred.
Meanwhile,Mama was in the kitchen cooking Bitter leaf soup–that is my favorite.
I was sitting on the long sofa watching the funny TV series called The Johnsons on African magic family when Mama served me the mouthwatering delicacy–the aroma itself turned me on.
"Mama why did you bring two wraps of fufu?,I need more three please" I said.
"Okay,my daughter" Mama replied as she went to the kitchen and brought the wraps of fufu I ordered.
I started eating instantly as though I haven't eaten for so many years. Ben passed carrying his briefcase and he stared at us like he was frustrated.
Mama and I did not mind as we bursted into laughter. Ben left wrathfully and we continued with our conversation.
"I'm here now, nobody can touch you" mama said in a low tone.
"Thank you so much mama" I replied.
Ezinne was stocked in the room as she was abashed to come out.
Few hours later,she came out while we were watching an interesting movie on DSTV.
She took the remote on the table and changed the channel.
"It seems you lack home training you girl" Mama blurted angrily.
Ezinne stared at us with contempt and sighed.
Mama went ballistic and gave her a resounding slap instantly.
