Was Sandra right to react like that or she went too far?
Do you think the husband is actually innocent?
Is the friend giving good advice or destroying her marriage?
What do you think Kelvin came back home with??
The next morning…Kelvin came back homewith bags.Not one.Not two.Five.I frowned immediately.I was shocked,what is he holding?
“What is all this?” I asked.
He didn’t answer me directly.Instead, he called out…
“Blessing!”
My heart skipped.Blessing came out slowly.
Careful.Like someone walking into danger.
“Come,” Kelvin said.
She hesitated.
“Come now,” he repeated.
She stepped forward.Slow.Uneasy.Kelvin opened one of the bags.
“Take.”
Blessing froze.Inside the bag…Clothes.New clothes.Beautiful ones.My eyes narrowed instantly.Kelvin opened another bag.More clothes.Then another.Three full bags.
“Uncle… I don’t want,” Blessing said softly, her voice shaking.
I could feel her fear.Because she could feel my eyes on her.Sharp.Burning.
“It’s fine,” Kelvin said calmly.
“Take it.”
She shook her head slightly.
“I said take it,” he repeated, firmer now.
My chest tightened.
Then he turned to our child.
“Come, this one is for you.”
The child smiled happily.Meanwhile…Blessing stood there.Still.Confused.Scared.
“Take it,” Kelvin said again, softer this time.
Slowly…
She reached for the bags.Her hands trembling.
As she turned to leave…Our eyes met.And the look I gave her?It was enough.Enough to tell
her…This is not over.After she left…Kelvin turned to me.And handed me a bag.
“This one is yours.”
I looked at it.Then at him.And laughed.A dry…
Dangerous laugh.
“Are you serious?”
He frowned.
“What do you mean?”
I lifted the bag slightly.
“You bought three bags for my maid…”
I paused.
