Chapter 9

Haider Jega On getting to the palace, I met my father in my chamber seated on the sofa and watching the news on my television. "Abba, what's up? Good morning" I said, I sat next to him and he turned to face me with a frown on his face. "Why did you go to your mother's house?" He said. His eyes were rare of peace, the only I could see in was anger and great worry. I sighed. "She wasn't well so I went to see her," I said bluntly. I was tired of always having this conversation with him. "And how did you know I went there?" I asked. "Dk told me, Look Alhaji Zakari is not a good person. For my ex-best friend to snatch my wife and you still visit them do you think you are also a good person?" My father asked. "Abba, I only went to see my mother. It's not like I went there to stay there forever. And also, DK wasn't well so we had to stay there so that I'd treat" I said. "What's wrong with DK and speaking of her, why isn't she here..." My father said as though she heard him.
