In her heart, the debate and the accusation that is always going on her mind and heart is more than a month cases brought to her as a village head. Josh walked away far from their palatia home in the heart of Manhattan in New York and with calmness told Lousia what has been going on so that she will not put her heart in fear, he said he just want to know if Precy had travelled to Kenya without informing him, Lousia with shaking hands Immediately asked him to hang up so that she can call family members far and near just to ask them maybe her daughters has taken a surprise trip to any one of them without telling her just trying to surprise everybody until mid night she was still calling from Mombasa to Nairobi, from Nairobi to Adissa baba, from congo to cape town it was long calls to all the nook and craning of Africa where they have relatives, some said they have not seen her some did not even answer on time thinking why she was calling them because they think how much Precy is sending to them is not what should be sent Precy was such a generous girl that relative that she did not suppose to even remember, Immediately she started her figure skater career she was always extending gifts to them all no matter how small but some they were still not satisfied, so Lousia's call to them was like a disturbance to them, Josh at the other hand waited impatiently for news of hope from his mother in-law, as they eat together dinner his Mom asked that she could notice that he had been restless for like two days now, he smiled and part his Mom's hand he suddenly sprang up from his sit rushing outside to go and pick the call of Lousia the food he was eating had no taste in his mouth, is heart was just where Precy is wife is he felt like fainting when Lousia told him that she had contacted all the relatives and even friends in Kenya. Josh knew even if he had offended Precy and she did not want to talk to him again she could have called him and he will returned to France so that they can talk it over and he is ready to ask for forgiveness no matter what even if he is not at fault he just want her in his arms he so much loves her but he could not figure out why her call is not going through, the following Morning Mama selebo at the exact time was at the gate of Moriya she was taken into the small room where they have been tying Precy close to seven days, the surprise was written all over her face but she was an elder with Wisdom she did not ask any question, Precy was so weak she will not eat, she was afraid of food poisoning and most of the time the cooked cassava they served her she did not know most of the food so they are now force feeding her, whenever she want to use the bathroom been so weak Liza and Lira will help her dragging her to the bathroom, they removed all her Undies Mama selebo could see the fear in her innocent face one could see that despite the stuffed mouth with a dirty napkin was the loudest scream of 'No please don't hurt me' tears started rolling down from her face pleading with her eye to Selebo, she was so afraid she started fighting but been tied down and weak already, Moriya said selebo should follow her she said it in Chichewa dialect, when they got outside she laughed that '' she is my grand daughter and I known this is time I can force her to partake of the tradition she talked as if there is nothing as if every thing is okay between her and her grand daughter, selebo smiled and heave a sign of relief, she followed her inside again by this time she has commanded Lira and Liza to hold her legs wide apart on the bed her two hands tied together and now to the bed, Precy was shaking fighting for her life tiny little body moving as if she should break free, the clitoris was finally cut, she bled and if that pain was not enough so as not to get contaminated they have to apply '' snail saliva'' on the wound which is more hotter than ventilated spirit, by the time she was putting it Precy passed out due to the pain she was still and silent in agony Moriya who walked out of the room like a champion that is achieving her aim brought back the coldest water from the special clay pot pour it on her head, she sneezed back to life crying and still bleeding Mama selebo could sense that the treatment is just to hash this young girl is just in great pains at least they suppose to have done it few years back why now? and the way she was looking at Moriya she had no feelings for this lady she claimed was her granddaughter, but she did not say anything, Moriya gave money and some food stuff for services. It was the day Precy wept more since the day she stepped into the compound, someone can perceive the stench of cassava syrup miles away from the wrapper they use to tie her hand to the bed as they remove the stuffing in her mouth to drink water, she begged them and kept asking why they are doing this to her? Moriya confidently answered her that she was just an outcast '' can you see even Chichewa you can not speak she told her in her smattering English saying they stole his only son, her only hope away from her. Since she will not eat they force-feed her again. Josh made up his mind to return to France in search of his secret wife and pair, they were supposed to have started training for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, that was postponed to 2021 Tokyo, time was going so fast if he knew that Instructor Glen traveled with her he would have contacted him but he did not join the team from Malawi back to America when the time to returned everybody gathers at Kamuzu international airport Lilongwe as promised but Precy could not be reached they waited till they almost miss their flight Glen has made his intention know that he will not be going back to United states, they had to travel back without Precy.
