CHAPTER TWENTY ONE
The two boys grew up in Awoma village where they were born. They loved and played together with each other but Tanya always separated them and made Shedan looked less important. He wasn't happy and began to envy the life of Shukar.
Jaman told Tanya that he'd be traveling with King to another village. He told her to take good care of the boys while he was away and she promised to but ended up doing otherwise.
She bought a lot of goodies and presents for Shukar, celebrated his birthday which was two weeks after the departure of Jama and King. Shedan was left out from all the entertainment and happiness his twin brother shared.
Shedan and Shukar were not allowed to eat on the same plate and if by any chance they were, Shukar was goven the larger porttion while Shedan was given the smallest and anytime he questioned why he was belittled, he was told that Shukar was his elder brother and they weren't mates so he had to be accorded more respect.
