THE MISSING JEWEL

CHAPTER 4😃

           Susan looked everywhere else but not at her mother. She looked at pictures on the wall, pictures of their parents, of her and her siblings. She paid much attention to the purple drapes over the windows, the white bulb and the soft green rug under her mother's feet before being summoned from her scrutiny.

       "Susan! look at me," her mother said.

       Elisabeth twisted her face in disgust and said in mockery, "See, she cannot talk again, say something na, don't be making mumu here."

      Susan turned to Elisabeth and said, "I don't blame you, who asked you? Dont even try me. Dont even be making as if you are innocent.You think I don't know your own secret."

        "What do you know? what?" Elisabeth countered.

        "Will you two shut up! And you Susan, you haven't even replied to the charges against you. Do you have a new phone?"their mother questioned

        "Yes mama, ehmmm and I know that Elisabeth sent money the yesterday to a boy that she has been sponsoring in school," Susan reported.Their mother carried her hands on her head and stood speechless.

         "We are seeing them now. I knew it.These girls are trouble,"James sneered.

          "Don't even be talking.You that organised a party after yesterday at DEJA VU CLUB. Don't even pretend." Elisabeth said.

          Their mother started sobbing, wiping her eyes with her head scarf and calling her late husband's name.
"See wat you've all caused, now momsi is crying. Wat kinda kids are you huh? This is bullshit, bullshit I mean ......," Peter was cut short.

         "Even you have crime. Don't be making innocent, or you think I don't know that you lost 100000frs in gambling after yesterday?"James exposed.

        "If I slap you eh, your ancestors will be dizzy," Peter lapsed into normal language.

        "If you want to fight then come, I will not hesitate to break your head,"James jeered moving toward his brother in defiance.....

           "You people should shut up! Keep quiet you little rascals. If only they told me I will give birth to five criminals I wouldn't have put birth. So you people always walk around pretending, when you are actually scoundrels. I wonder who I offended," Mrs Bih said looking up," When I told your father not to die, he thought I was joking, see how am suffering all alone, staying with thieves and delinquents.
"Why do you people want to shame me? Now people will be seeing what you are doing and start gossiping my name up and down,"she paused and looked at her children who stood before her with bowed heads."Where did you people take the money from? answer me!" They all kept quiet." So now you cannot talk, don't make me repeat myself." Turning to Elisabeth, she said, "You of all people, my eldest child, sponsoring a boy in school when I am struggling to send you to school. What have I done to you to deserve all these?" She turned to the rest, "All of you, using money to do evil things, yes evil things.That too with money I didn't give you. Where did you people get the money from?"She bellowed.
They all looked at each other grumbling and murmuring inaudibly.

       " Didn't you hear me well or am I speaking with water in my mouth?" She turned to James, "Even you, my youngest child could do this to me. Is that what they teach you in form five?" She hit him with her two hands and held his ear, twisting it as she did so, "where did you get the money from to organize a party in a whole big club like that one? Answer me,"she twisted harder earning a groan from James.
"Start talking my friend."

      "I didn't sell your necklace ohh.I sold but my all textbooks for 45000frs to host the party and the club is not big," he said in a barely audible voice, with his face down, scratching his head......
