EDITED

I enter the house as quietly as I can and it's as silent as a graveyard. Maybe they went out or something, I pray so.

I walk to the stairs as quietly as I can, I'm about to climb the first step when I hear her.

"Naomi Adesua Daniels"!! My mum shouts with anger evident in her voice.

I can tell she's in the dining room from where her voice is coming from so I walk over there.

She's seated beside the man that I unfortunately have to call my father and two children are seating opposite them.

I hope they're not going to move in with us or we're not going to move to their place.

Let this whole day just be a dream, can someone please pinch me?

"You cannot greet abi?" my mum asks pulling me away from my thoughts.

"Koyo" I say bending down a little to show courtesy.

(Koyo means hello in Benin language)

"Is that how you greet elders?" my mum asks sternly.

"Ob' ota erha" I say going down on my knees.

(Good evening father)

"Ob' okhian, Vbee oye he?" he asks signalling for me to get up.

(Welcome, how are you?)

"Oy' ese" I say then I get up from my knees.

(I am fine)

"Go and sit down" my mum says.

I walk over to the dining and sit on one of the chairs. Someone opens the door and I know its Nathan, he should just save himself wahala and come here sharp sharp.

"Nathan Osaeze Daniels" my mum shouts.

He lets out a loud groan before he walks into the dining room.

"Ob' okhian" My dad says to Nathan.

He just mumbles something and walks over to sit beside me.

"Greet" my mum says sternly giving him a death glare.

"Koyo" he says sounding tired.

My mum is about to say something but my dad gives her a look and suprisingly she keeps quiet.

"Naomi and Nathan, you're not little kids this should be very easy for you to understand" My dad says.

We remain silent so he continues.

"Sarah died a year after giving birth to Ruth, it's been a very long time and I've been a very lonely man"

"It serves you right" Nathan says and my mum eyes him.

If eyes could kill he'd be six feet under right now.

"After I left you guys, I didn't keep in touch but luckily for me I met your mum two years ago at a party and we started talking and one thing led to another and I found myself renewing our vows" he says.

Nobody says anything so my mum speaks up.

"At first we agreed to live separate lives but I thought if we were all together we'd finally have a complete family and that you've always wanted" she says to Nathan and I.
