Chapter 3 - Getting to the bottom of everything

An infuriated Wanzi starved herself for three days. She didn't allow anyone to see her, except her sister Tina. 

"Come on Wanzi, you are making me paranoid. It has been three days now, since you were accused, and you have refused to eat. I'm really worried, please get up and eat something". Tina pleaded

Tina felt that the only way to get Wanzi to eat, was to threaten Wanzi with her life, and since she cares so much about Tina, she had to get up and eat.

"Look Tina, don't ever threaten to harm yourself again. You know you are my everything. You are my only purpose for living. I love you so much and I wouldn't want to do anything to hurt you" Sighed Wanzi. 

"I love you too sis. But, promise me never to starve yourself again, Asked Tina. 'I promised",Wanzi reassured her.

After Tina left, Wanzi broke down into a fit of years, because Tina's words scares her alot. To plus it, she thought Mr and Mrs Wilson will never trust her again.

"Perhaps it is because I have no parents? She murmured to her self 

"But, they have been good to us for years now, maybe I might be wrong? Wanzi wondered.

"They might have high expectations for me, that's why they didn't accuse me directly. Isn't it weird? How can the keys be in my room? When I'm very sure, I didn't do it.i I'd have to get to the bottom of this". 

Sefa became furious because, after everything, his parents still doesn't hate Tina or Wanzi. While at the raging, he destroyed many things in his room, the whole room was in a complete mess.

"Sefa, what have you done? Mechi asked.

"It is none of your business, just get out! Sefa screamed. 'But brother'. 'I said get out of my room, go, just get lost".

Mechi was already on the verge of tears, when she left the room, she sat in a corner and broke down into tears. Tina was passing by, when she heard someone sobbing, she went closer, only to realize it was Mechi.

"Mechi, why are you crying? What did Sefa do to you? Come on, tell me". Tina demanded

"Tina, I have never seen Sefa so angry. But, I think he is very upset about something". Tina answered still sobbing.

"It's alright, please stop crying now. I will go and ask him what made him so angry, that he had to shout at you".

"No! Please don't. I only questioned him about his room and he vented his anger on me. So, I request you don't step into his room.

However, after Mechi left, Tina entered the room and saw sefa lying on the floor.

"What happened to you? Tina asked looking concerned.

"How did you get in here, Tina? Asked Sefa

"What do you mean? I walked in through the door". 

"Who asked you to come in? Did I give you permission to step into my room? No! So, how dare you?! How dare you barge into my room?

"Who gave you the audacity to question me, was it my mother, or my father? 

"Who do you think you are? Oh, I see. Since you and Wanzi came into this family and took over my house and 'my' parents, you think you can just stick your nose into anybody's business and go scott free" Said Sefa.

"No brother, I was just"... "Just what?!

 Tina was so surprised by Sefa's attitude, she was lost for words, and she kept silent, listening to him.

"Look Tina, listen to me very carefully. You asked what happened to me right? Well, it is yours and Wanzi's fault, and wait, did you just call me brother? From now, never utter the word brother. Did you hear me clearly? Now, get out of my room, before I would do something I'd regret". 

Mr and Mrs Wilson finally came back from grocery shopping. They bought things for the four children.

 "Wanzi dear, please open the door".

It was Mr and Mrs Wilson, Wanzi didn't spare a second, before she opened the door. She just came out of the bathroom when, they came home.

"Welcome home aunty, uncle".

"Come dear child, have a sit, I got something for you" Mrs Olivia said.

They brought out a beautiful red ribbon dress, and a pair of shoes, and gave it to her. She was so excited when she saw it, because, it was the dress she always admired, when she is passing by.

"Thank you so much" Wanzi said with much excitement.

"You are welcome".

"Sister.... Sister!

Tina burst into the room with a worried expression, only to see Mr and Mrs Wilson.

 "Yes Tina, what is the matter? Wanzi asked.

"Oh! Aunt, uncle, you both are here".

"Yes, you looked so worried when you entered the room. Tell us what the matter is".

"Well, it's Sefa".

"What happened to him, is he alright? Mrs Wilson asked almost immediately.

"Nothing. He is just acting weird".

Before she could finish, Mechi came in with teary eyes. 

"Mechi, what happened to you, why are you crying?

After she saw her mom and dad, she ran to them, and hugged them so tight.

"What is going on? Mr Wilson asked.

"Dad, it's Sefa, he shouted at me so much, I couldn't take it".

"It's okay dear. Tina, did Sefa say anything to you?

"Yeah, he just said, it's because of me and Wanzi, that's why you no longer care about him".

It was at this moment, Mr and Mrs Wilson realized, that all along Sefa faked everything, how he locked himself up, hid the keys under Wanzi's pillow, just to frame her, and make them hate her. 

They realized they were wrong, and apologized for the misunderstanding.
