Chapter 2 - Season 1 episode 1 ( Why causing trouble)

"Tamara, Tamara!!!" My Aunt yelledmy name loudly and I rushed over to the sitting room.

" Yes mum" I raised up my head and saw the girl I beat up this morning because she refused to pave way for me to fetch water.

" What did you do to Cecilia" Aunt asked angrily.

"Mum I did nothing to her " I lied.

" Why do you love causing troubles for me?, Firstly, you made me pay hospital bills, wasting my money unnecessarily" my Aunt was beginning to cry.

" I'm so sorry mum, I didn't mean to , please don't cry over me, please mum".tears welled my eyes too😭.

" You are telling me not to cry and you are making me cry. Did I do anything wrong to you?, Was it wrong I'm trying to raise you up as my daughter?" She kept on lamenting and I just kept quiet shooting Cecilia bad glares😠, I went inside the kitchen and brought out a mopstick and chased the mad girl with it.

" You want treatment right?? Come over to receive it" I ran after her .

My brother Kenneth(Ken) rushed in immediately and asked what went wrong, but I ignored humans focused on what I was doing. If you ask what I was doing? I was plaiting a long wire to flog somebody down the road.

Ken went over to ask Dave what happened and Dave gave him the exact details and came over to where I was and slapped me, I just stared at him, opening my mouth wide.

" Why did your dirty hands touch my face" I asked astonished.

"How dare you, Tamara ?How dare you make my mum cry? I can take any rubbish from you but not this one, of you are mad upstairs, go to your parents grave so that they would give you a cure and don't inflict my mother with it" he shouted and left house angrily.

I heard the words echoing in my head over and over again. I began crying as loud as I could shout, I began holding my head in pain and then I blacked out.

The next day was a hot sunny day and since I was expelled,I was at home all day do inf nothing so I decided to search for a job. I got up but everything was spinning around me and I lay back on the bed and that's when my head stared banging.

"Oh! My God! Thank God , you are awake , Tamara"

Are you feeling a headache? I could go get you drugs?" I nodded again and she went out to go get me the drugs and that was when the snake (Kenneth) rushed in.

"Tammy I'm sorry okay? I didn't want to hurt you. I just ... I was just so angry for you making my mom cry. I'm sorry, I'm truly sorry, find a place in your heart ❤️ to forgive me''. Bro Ken said to me.

"My Tam... Tam Tammy, I'm very sorry for hurting you" Bro Ken said me and then I smiled.

" Family is family whether good or bad" I said
