"Shenelle I for once never questioned your ownership until Willi's death.

I started searching for answers, it was there I realized that you are not a Walter but rather a Chimsi. William Walter isn't your father, Suhuyini Chimsi is!"

What!?", I screamed out, in shock. Tears started rolling down my cheeks, as though I'd been pricked badly.

"Mom tell me this is a joke, you're kidding right, Dad.......You?"

She also started crying. I could read extreme pain and disappointment in her.

"So twenty solid years of my life has been a lie,

Not a Walker but a Chimsi? Who's he anyway? I bet he had a northern touch you couldn't resist. Ha! Did I tell you mom, northern boys are killers, they're all same, why dyu have to pull me back to them, I thought I was done with anything Kumbungu".

I'm so sorry dear. It's all my fault, you know what?, I feel like I've been such a bad mother to you, you have every right to despise me.

Please Shenelle forgive me, please

Mma Memuna POV

I've had my eyes fixated on Shenelle the whole time and I can tell she is broken again.

That poor little child has gone through a lot and it's nothing related to her fault. I realize she is fidgeting and she's on the verge of running again. My deadly eyes can hold her no more and so I speak out in one of my commanding tones,

"Jinima , nyema dunia ngo ni ti Malila zorinima ka mali ti dohimnima, ti zjim nira, zjim nyela shelipolo ti nasara ni be, dinzugu Tiyumba Miri ka a che a ma taali, o nyela a zjim, lala zugu a ku tooi che o laa "

(Sit down! My Child, in this world we have what is called family and what we call friends, family is blood and it is in blood that we have our victory, because of this forgive your mom, Tiyumba)

With these words, I see her calming down. She has her head bowed, and I see tears fall freely from her eyes. How would you feel knowing that the person you called, father for almost twenty years of your life isn't actually your father? How would you feel knowing that you've mourned someone who wasn't the one to bring you into this world?

Tiyumba! Such a wonderful name.

She rises up and gives Nasara, her mom a warm hug they both stay in that position,crying their hearts away.

"I forgive you mom", Shenelle said in a whisper.

"Love is such a mess!, It's okay we've both been played"

"Do take me out of here mom, I want to go home, home were I belong...."
