Chapter 37 - CHAPTER 37 SEPARATiON

My brother left I went out and saw all my relatives and parents in a heated battle I shouted can I speak please

First I'll like to say I'm going to be very disrespectful to some of my family today but I've just come back from the pit of hell so I'm not afraid of anything anymore my father, nor my mother collected any money from anyone I am not the only girl in the family of marrying age so why should it be me my family work the hardest but gets treated the poorest sometimes we don't even get to eat although my father gives money every week I am saying today my family and I are going to separate from this family so that my parents can have full authority of their lives and their children lives who would willing sell their young female relatives to that man why me and without my parents consent

My uncle SCOTT said we are doing this for you and your parents MR DAVIS is a rich man he can make sure you are well taken care of

Uncle SCOTT I don't need or want MR DAVIS to take of me if he's so good why did his wife run away

Put that aside for now what about CHRISTINE she's older than me sixteen this year and she's not even engaged why don't you help out UNCLE GARY'S family why ours .

At this time the village CHIEF came my GRANDMOTHER said chief why are you hear we are just having a discussion about RUQAYYAH's marriage

I cut her off and said Good Day CHIEF JORDAIN my relatives are trying to sell me to MR DAVIS they took money from him I don't know the amount and didn't tell my parents anything until yesterday when MR DAVIS saw my FATHER and called him FATHER-IN-LAW please help my family separate from these people because we can never tell when I'll be sold maybe to a brothel

I kept looking at the village CHIEF and saw that the more I spoke the more mad he got after knowing what my uncles wanted to do he said if you all don't separate you will leave this village immediately this is so shameful are you people not ashame of yourselves well I'm ashame for you .
