you are here asking me to defend her,please mother I am sorry but I need to be in the kitchen with Mwaka,let's go dear"Tasheni wiped Mwaka's tears and went to the kitchen...

"Mum you see what I was saying? I just can't stand her anymore!" Tapiwa yelled as she walked down to her room

"This girl has really influenced my daughter, to the extent of her walking out on me and disobeying my orders?this is really getting serious and I need to act fast....whew,Hurry up with the food I am hungry!" Deborah said as she went to her room..

THE KITCHEN..

Tasheni: Am sorry for everything that my mother and sister have been doing but don't worry, I'll convince dad to take you to school when he gets back. And wait when we are done having supper I have something to show you....are you done with the tomatoes?

Me:Yes I am done..here you go,thank you so much for everything you have been doing for me in this house. I don't know how my life would have been if it were not for you....what's that you want to show me?

Tasheni: Please don't mention it,aunty Dorothy used to love us so much and I see no reason to hate you. Sometimes I wish your mother was my mother.... Come let's set the table I am done with the gravy, I'll show you don't worry....

We had supper and we rinsed the dishes,Tapiwa and Aunt went to bed and it was just us,we watched some TV shows and were now sleepy....

"Oh yes Mwaka let's go to my room I have something for you,let me switch off the socket" she said

We switched all the lights off and went to Tasheni's room..

"Sit here on my bed,let me quickly get my bag(she went and got her bag). Close your eyes its a surprise" she said to me...

"Tasheni what are you up to(I laughed)okay fine let me close them(I closed my eyes)... Are you happy now?" I asked...

"Of course I am(she placed a box in my hands)Now you can open them" she said..

I opened my eyes and there was a phone,a brand new phone....

"Tasheni who bought you this phone?" I asked.

"Silly haha... I bought this phone for you, since my mother does not allow you to watch TV so I figured I could get you a phone where you can download movies,books and all educative stuff and it will be super easy because we have WiFi here" she explained..

"Oh Tasheni (I cried)you have done so much for me I don't even know what to say,thank you so much" I said with a big smile..

"Don't cry,you deserve all this my dear,I have been saving for three months and I thought of getting you a phone and tomorrow after school I should find you ready because I'll be taking you for shopping...now let's sleep its late and I have school tomorrow" she said..

"Oh!may God please you and bless your hand,you've done so much for me...yes please get some rest you've had a long day,thank you once again for always being on my side"(I reached for the door)goodnight..

" Mwaka wait!please don't go,sleep with me tonight....I don't want to sleep alone tonight,please don't go"she said before I left..

"What? You know your mother will be very upset if I do so,I am sorry I can't" I answered

"Why are you afraid of her?please stay with me tonight...see this is my room and I decide who can sleep here or not,so please come join me...please" she pleaded

I couldn't refuse,I went and slept next to her....

IN THE MORNING..

Deborah walks to Mwaka's room....

Where is this girl?so she slept out? Oh no this can't be...Mwaka!!!!!she yelled...

Tapiwa wakes up...

"Mother why are you shouting ah ah?can't I enjoy some peace in this house?" She said

"Well my dear look at Mwaka's bed,she didn't spend the night here...how can you sleep?that girl is so lazy you can't tell me she is awake because I always have to wake her up and its only 4am" Deborah said with anger....

"Hehe...I said it,this girl will bring shame to this family...let me go and wake up Tasheni so that she can see what we have been telling her about" she said as she walked to Tasheni's room..

Tapiwa opens the door....

"What!mother come and see this!she screamed
