Keles stood up from her seat, followed by Mahu who left Ikenga's side as they approached their mother who was breaking down in tears.
As Keles and Mahu approached their mother, they could feel the weight of her words hanging heavily in the air. Despite the initial shock and hurt, they somehow understood that Nana was also struggling with her own emotions and uncertainties. They exchanged glances.
Keles reached out and gently placed a hand on Nana's shoulder, while Mahu kneeled beside her, offering a comforting embrace. "Nana, it's okay," Keles said softly. "We understand. We know you didn't mean to hurt us."
Mahu nodded in agreement. "We've always known that you've done everything you could to protect us and guide us. We're here for you, just as you will always be there for us."
