"Maxy... Maxy... Maxy... be the papa", Mapendo blinked shyly at Max.
"Aaaah... okay. I will the papa then you the mama", Max pointed out.
"Yaaaay....", Little Mapendo cheered up.
"Who will be our kids", Mapendo questioned Max bringing her little playing house.
"Let's make our little siblings our kids", Max suggested.
"Yaay... let's go for them. Catch me if you can....", Mapendo dared Max running.
"You ain't that fast ", He giggled holding her.
"Let me be stop touching me that way", She cautioned him.
"Mapendo...!!!" Mrs. Parker yelled her name.
"Yes mum.... ", She went in the company of Max to hear her out.
"Am now gone. Be careful and take care of your sister", Her mum instructed her.
"Yes mum....", Mapendo agreed.
"Let's now play....", Max pointed out as Mapendo's mum left the house.
"Ashlee... Ashlee... Ashlee... wake up", Mapendo shook her attempting to wake her up.
"Let me sleep....", Ashlee was angered by her action.
"Get up we go and play", Mapendo insisted.
"I will tell mummy....", Ashlee threatened her.
"I will buy you strawberry cake....", She promised grinning at her.
"Mmmh... fine. You are a stubborn big sister Mapendlo", Ashlee pouted.
"Am not Mapendlo... it's M...a...p...e...n...d...o...", She articulated each word correcting Ashlee.
"No you are Mapendlo", Ashlee insisted.
"Fine.... get up", Mapendo requested her.
"You better buy me a big cake or else will tell on you....", Ashlee cautioned her.
"Aaaagghh... you becoming a little brat", Mapendo frowned.
"I got it from you....", Ashlee hastily replied.
"Yaaay... Lizzy... Lizzy....", Ashlee hugged Liz Max's little sister excitedly.
"Let's now play", Max pointed out.
"So your the mother Mapendo....", Liz raised the question.
"Yes....", Mapendo nodded.
"And Maxy... the father right", She raised another question.
"Will you two do what my mum and dad do....", Liz raised a brow at them.
"What's that's....", Mapendo asked her eagerly anticipating her answer.
"She means Kiss....", Max hastily replied.
"Whaaat.... no....!!" Mapendo refused hastily.
"Please Mapendlo I won't tell mummy", Ashlee assured her.
"Fine ....", Mapendo accepted.
Max pecked her on the lips making Liz and Ashlee jump in excitement.
"Stop... don't tell anyone....", Max requested them.
"What.... are you kids doing. And what.... are you hiding Max...?" Nina their baby sitter questioned him.
"Aaaah... how did you get in didn't hear you ...", Max replied.
"Just answer my question", She said.
"We were just playing nothing else...", Mapendo's voice was shaky.
"Oooh... Liz tell me what they did. I will buy you chocolate candy....", Nina grinned at Liz.
"Aaah ... we were playing. Then Max and Mapendo were the parents. I suggested they do what our parents do... Then... Then... Max kissed her here...", Liz pointed at her lips.
"What ...come here the two of you", She pointed at Max and Mapendo.
"Please.... don't tell mummy and daddy", Mapendo pleaded as she approached Nina.
"Ouch that's painful", Mapendo yelled after Nina pinched her cheek.
"Ouch....", Max yelled.
"You should stop doing what adults do. Max, you should lead by example", Nina pointed out.
"But am just a kid....", He pointed out innocently.
"Aaaagghh... yes buh you should both know what's good and bad", Nina cautioned them.
"You have a loud mouth", Max whispered at Liz.
"I will tell mum", She threatened him.
"Go... ", He didn't care at all.
"I can hear you....", Nina knitted a brow.
"Let's play alone...", Max suggested.
"No... I don't want bad manners from you", Mapendo replied.
"Mmmmh.... fine", Max frowned at her.
"Hey kids....", Max's mum greeted them as they were watching sponge bob square pants.
"Momma....", Liz headed towards her excitedly. Max was worried that she would tell her what occurred earlier.
"What's wrong....momma", Liz questioned her up who was so sad and worn out.
"Thank you, Nina....", Max's mum appreciated her.
"Bye... Ash and Mapendo", Liz waved at them.
"It's time to sleep", Nina informed them.
"Please... Please", Mapendo pleaded.
"Aaaagghh fine ...", Nina accepted as continued to read her novel.
"Yaaay....!!!" Mapendo cheered up.
"Mom....!!!" Mapendo was surprised after her mum burged in the house in a panicked state.
"I will pay you please let him be", She begged the caller.
"No... we won't release him alive. Just know you will get his corpse soon", the caller informed her making her burst out in tears.
"Mum what's happening to daddy ....", Mapendo questioned her yelling.
"Can you please take them to their room", her mom requested Nina.
"No... I want to hear what happened to daddy", Mapendo demanded.
"Please... I beg you don't do that. Will give you anything", Mrs. Parker pleaded brimming with tears.
"What have you done stop.....!!!!"Mrs. Parker yelled after hearing gunshots on the call.
"The other guy he's dead will called his wife", the caller informed her.
"You are monsters.... go to hell. You are devil incarnate", Mrs. Parked cursed him throwing her phone. She felt wet tears filling up her eyes, her throat clenched tight filling hopeless. She couldn't take it anymore. That her dear husband was murdered and gone forever. Finally, the tears split over and flowed down her face like a river escaping a dam.
"Lord... why am I going through this. Why did you let this happen? Why.....!!!!", She didn't care at that moment who was around her.
"Mom.... what happened to daddy", Little Mapendo yelled patting her mom's back.
"Has dad left us forever.....", Ashlee questioned her.
"Yes he has....", Mrs. Parker nodded.
"No... I want Daddy now. Mum where is daddy. I want to follow him now", Ashlee demanded.
"Baby your too young to understand this", Her mom informed her.
"Nina you may now...", Mrs. Parker said wiping her tears.
"No... will stay please for your kids' sake", Nina refuted offering to stay with them.
"Thanks, you are an angel. Please take them to their room", Mrs. Parker requested her.
"No.... am waiting. Daddy is coming ", Ashlee grabbed her mom not wanting to let her go.
"Baby please don't make this hard for me. Just go to your room", Mrs. Parker requested her.
"No....", Ashlee refused.
"Go with Mapendo will sleep with her tonight", Mrs. Parker informed Nina.
"Alright", Nina nodded
