Another Chance ?

Dedicated to Iyanuoluwa-Temi

Third person POV.

When Genzebe got home, she related the incident at school to her mom, weeping bitterly.

Eghe and her parents where all in the large sitting room watching BBC news,

"I want my daddy" Genzebe kept saying. "I want my sister and my brother too".

Eghe was sad and became frustrated, she was getting tired of Genzebe latest attitude of asking after her Dad.

Eghe thought about visiting Genzebi's school just to tell the principal to change her Daughter's class or better still change the new girls class. She couldn't keep up with "I want my daddy" all the time.

"Allow your mother be" Eghe's mom told Genzebe "You're stressing her out". Sarah Luckett said. She could see in her daughters eyes how this affected her. She hated Ikay more for making her daughter and granddaughter pass through this.

"You caused why my daddy left me" Genzebe replied. Silence fell, Every one stayed frozen. Genzebe got up and ran towards her room muttering. "My daddy would have been with us now if not for you grandma". When Genzebe was five she over heard her crying mom blaming her grandmother over her father leaving, she was in the study room when the argument broke out.

The sitting room stayed quiet after Genzebe retreat. The sound of the door bell brought them all out of whatsoever they were all thinking. Mr Luckett who was quiet all through stood up and headed towards his room, on his way he called the maid to go get the door.

Amaka went to the door, as she opened the door her eyes flew open, she screamed and ran back towards the shared sitting room.

"Oga don come, oga don come" her happiness vibrating round the house, even Genzebe who was sobbing in her room heard Amaka's chants she came down sluggishly to come see what was happening.

"Which oga" Mrs Luckett asked irritated by Amaka's screams.

Amaka could not contain her excitement, she couldn't even answer her pay master, because she was so happy for small madam.

She kept pointing, "small madam oga" she told them, at that Eghe heard his voice.

She pinched herself, it wasn't a dream, she got up and ran to the door.

Ikay's POV

"Can we come in".

I had to talk. I noticed no one was understanding the maid. Excitement was stopping her from properly explaining herself. Obosa and Oghosa held unto my hands so tightly.

I stood at the very house I told myself eight years ago i was never going return to, But look at me now. had to come over to see the people I verge never to lay my eyes on because my sister had to choose Genzebe school of all schools for Obosa and Oghosa. I'm beginning to think she had all this planned out.

I returned back to Benin two months ago, it wasn't by choice. My father was opening a new pharmaceutical branch in Benin and it was the proper thing that I'd be the one to head it since it was just starting off. During the cause of putting things in place for our new company I asked my sister Shirley to pick schools for the kids while I busied my self with setting the new place up. And the little deepshit chose Genzebe school.
