"Faila is pregnant? Cephus, who had gone speechless after hearing the news, finally found his voice.
Kieran was seated on the bed, his head buried in his arms. Even in his drunken state, he would never have anything to do with Faila.
"How did it happen?" Cephus bombarded him with questions. "Why would you make love to Faila of all people?
Kieran snapped. He sprung up from the bed, and the next minute he pinned Cephus to the wall in a strong chokehold.
"How dare you ask me such questions?" he seethed with rage. "All this would have never happened if you had not gone off to somewhere." He bellowed. The intensity of his voice stunned Cephus, who knew being in this position for too long could be detrimental.
"Kieran, calm down," he struggled to breathe. He wrapped his hands around Kieran's arm and tried to break free, but all his efforts were in vain. "Killing me won't solve the problem; Faila should be the one being punished, not me." He declared.
