Chapter 1.

The mid-day sun was up to a scorching level, plucked leaves were already dry.
Mama Tolu was sitted in her wooden stool with a steel tray containing beans, She seperated the the dirts from the beans.
“Sister” A Voice called, She turned to her side it was Amosun, his junior brother, It has been long since he visited. Mama tolu placed the tray on the stool after she was on her feet.
She hugged Amosun and they exchanged pleasentries.
“Tolu!, Tolu!!” She called and her only daughter whom her husband left with to suffer in this moribound world appeared.
“Have you lost your manners can’t you greet your own uncle?” Mama Tolu said rather too agressive. Tolu postrated and greeted Amosun.
In no time Amosun was offered a stool, and he was seated.
“Must i tell you every thing before you know what to do?. Get your uncle a cup of water” Mama Tolu lamented.
“No don’t worry i'll soon be taking my leave soon” Amosun said.
“Aburo mi, are sure you don’t want water?” Mama Tolu asked.
“Sister i’m okay, i stopped by to discuss with you on something crucial” Amosun said balancing his buttocks on the stool. Mama tolu made a sign for Tolu to leave, and She obliged.
“Sister you know that my wife is pregnant and we need an external help” Amosun choked in saliva and continued. “Thats why i’m here to plea with you to allow me go to the city with Tolu”. Mama Tolu heaved on a deep sigh.
“Not only that i’ll enrole her in the best school in lagos and also send you money regularly for your upkeep” Amosun added.
“I don’t have a say in your request, Tolu will decide if she’ll agree to go with you” Mama Tolu said.
“Thank you sister but please help me talk to her, i’ll be taking my leave now, i'll be back a day after tomorrow to take her if she agrees”.

In the evening after Mama Tolu had finished her dinner, she summoned Tolu.
“Tolu, Amosun you uncle said he wants you to...” Tolu chipped in.
“Maami, i heared all what you two discussed and my answer is N-O”.
“Tolu you know you’ve always wanted to attend a good school?, if you go with Amosun, You’ll go to a good school and when you graduate you’ll be a medical doctor and cater for my needs” Mama Tolu advised.

The day finally came and Tolu was about to go with Amosun.
Amosun handed wards of naira notes to Mama Tolu, Mama Tolu gave Tolu a motherly hug.
“Tolu please be a good girl, obey your uncle and his wife” Mama Tolu whispered to her daughter.
Mama Tolu escorted them to Amosun’s car, She waved them untill tears rolled down from her eyes.
Mama Tolu thought her daughter will be in safe hands not knowing she gave her daughter to a beast and a virago.
