Ngozie almost collapsed when her father disclose what he has been keeping to himself.

Mr Uche got Ngozie seated.
My daughter, it is high time I disclose some little things to you because we can say it will too far which may later be too near, so listen carefully.

Ngozie already getting panicked of what his father was about to say, she had no clue.

You have finished your secondary school since last three years, I can't afford any higher institution because of my financial problem which is not stable.
Please listen to me, I want you to get married as soon as you can, I don't want to have two blames on me "I can't send you to school and I can't send you to meet future with gladness". I'm not going to force anyone on you because I have gotten many people lobbying to have you but NO, I'm not going to fail again.
You know your mother left us after I had this terrible accident which call for my compulsory retirement.
She is your mother and I can't disallow you not to show the real love to her too, if you have a fiance, show it to me and show it to her and pls don't.... (he started crying, tears rushing out profusely).

Father, (in a tired and crying voice) what are you insinuating?, I'm still young, I'll be 26 next year, pls give me more time, I'll make you happy father.

My daughter, I'm not sending you away but I know why I said "as soon as you can".

Deep down in Ngozie's mind "she was a little happy, she started playing the scene of the last time she went to her boyfriend and how he made her reach for stars with just romance)... Father I'll think about it "she left".

How would I tell John that I'm ready to get married, would he be ready too?, do I even think he loves me?

These are questions coming from her mouth to herself, she thought she was saying it inside... Unknowingly she was saying it out while Chizo was listening.

My sister, you're getting married?
You have a boyfriend?
What's happening? "chizo kept asking with concerned face".

Ngozie was startled, she didn't know she was talking aloud.

Chizo, don't worry, I'm fine, continue with what you were doing. Ngozie said

It was already after 5pm of the day, Ngozie failed to eat likewise Mr Uche.
This got all other children wondering and was panicked.
