The woman.
Chapter 2.

The pastor sensing trouble as my father was due to arrive any moment and the village knew him to be  a hot tempered and violent man , decided to make a swift escape "my dear, it is God's will, let me go and prepare for mass"
"Pastor, so your going , wait now so you will calm the father down, you know how he behaves" the midwife stressed while looking at my mother who was wailing uncontrollably.
"That is the more reason i should leave at once as i am the only pastor in the village, so as not to be killed wastefully by a violent man and as the only son of my father, our lineage cannot become extinct be one man's foolish anger"
"Ukochukwu(pastor) but your a catholic priest?!!!! 
"So?
"So which lineage, are you protecting?, The midwife asked looking confused.
"Nneamaka stay there and ask me stupid questions let papa-oge catch you here"
As he was about to make a hasty retreat they heard voices.
" Where is he! Where is my son? Diokpalam(my firstborn son)"
