“How are you my girl it’ a while I’ve not seen you?”
Lolly
“Alright thank you Paapa but I am fine.”

Lolly
She is melancholy and sad she wanted to see her husband and now.
At M.B’ Shop
“Your Mother-in-Law is a savage and a barbarian you know what she did when I went to your home asking after you?”
Lolly
“I have no idea what has happen be quick about it I am dying of curiousity.”
Mam Butorr
“She poured dirty water unto me and soaked me up with filth and odour I wanted the floor to open and swallow me up!”
Lolly
“What! Was she mad or what how can she do such an awful thing? I’ll fight her when I get home and bear the consequences.”
Mam Butorr
“No you should not do anything stupid I’ll fight my war at the right time but be very careful of her and her children they are diabolical and if given the chance can harm you.”
Confiscation

Maama Njemeh
“Do you think I was joking when I told you I’ll repossess my son’ shop? I bloody well mean it I changed all the locks and my recoded them now it is only me who can open it because you do not know the code numbers.”
Lolly
She yelled and protested but to no avail;
“This is wrong it is not right it is my shop given to me by my husband aren’t you savages and barbarians? You’ll hear from my lawyer for illegally entering my shop and seizing it.”
The Duo

The Court Order
The Sheriff served them the order and the police executed their eviction the order reads: Vacate the shop premises and stay away from all properties own by Ken.”
Maama Njemeh
She was shamed and disgraced Maama went back home and curled into her evil shell.
Paapa Taa
“Didn’t I advise you stay off from all properties own by Ken it is not yours stop mingling or else you’ll all go to jail.”
Lolly
Her fever continued and Paapa gave her money to go to hospital she reluctantly left for the clinic.
Enroute
Lolly’ checked her results and was shocked;
“But how is it possible I am very surprise 4 months pregnant?”
At Mam Mbissine’ Home
Lolly visited Her Mom
She was excited about the news and she whirled and danced around;
“Allah be praise I am going to be a granny! Allah has shamed the enemy who call you a barren woman.” She exclaimed.
Lolly
She is scared and worried;
“But how am I going to convince them that Ken is responsible will they not see it as a prank?”
Mam Mbissine
“Ken is responsible there is nothing to convince anyone about be relaxed you should be happy that the enemies who call you barren are being shame by Allah let us celebrate.

“All this for me? Thank you very much it is very much appreciated I’ll use it for nutritious foodstuff.”
The Family

They grumbled about Lolly
“She is a witch who is she to place an injunction against us?”

“I am very tired of all this I am leaving this house for good!”
