Prologue

5 years old Kemi and 6 years old Mide were playing in the garden while thier parents were arguing in the living room.
"Mide help me put the flower at the back of my hair"
"Kemi why do you always have to put flower on your hair.
"Pretty please"
"ok fine" He puts the flower on Kemi's hair. Sounds of glass shattering
"Mide did you hear that?"
"yes I did" sighs
"come on let's go catch butterfly" he said and drags Kemi along.

*******
Kemi was watching Tv while Mide and Dad went to watch football at the stadium. Funke, Kemis's mum, saw it as an opportunity to carry her daughter and run away,but how about son. Well she decided to sacrifice him for her own peace. She packed a few clothes and carried Kemi toward the door
"Mum where are we going to?" inquisitive Kemi asked
"We are travelling to see granny in Nigeria"
"But mum how about dad and Mide"
"They aren't going"
"Then am not going too"she folded her small arms and pouted her small lips. Funke sighed heavily
"See mummy and daddy aren't together anymore"
"why?"
"Just some misunderstandings. Don't worry we will be back before you know it"
"But I want Mide to come"
"Kemi that's enough. you would see them soon"

***A month later***
"Mum aren't we going back to meet Mide"
"No sweetie,this is our new home"
"I don't wanna live here"With anger in her voice
"sweetie we have no choice"
"yes we do, and that's to go back to America. I don't wanna leave in Nigeria"
"Here is going to be amazing"
"No it isn't" Kemi cried and ran of to her room.
