Oma: It has not come to that.

Magus: Then tell your children how you have ruined my life.

Oma: (sobbing) Noah, Philip, Jack, Pleading find a place in your heart to forgive me.

When I first saw Magus, he had a lot of money, he took care of me and showered me with gifts and money but he was too ugly for my liking.

When he told me to marry, I could not say no because of his money.

I married him, but I had you all for another man because I did not want you to be as ugly as he is.

Today my long kept secret has been unveiled.

Magus:(to the children) You have heard from the horse's mouth, I am not your father. You have to leave my house immediately before i do any harm.

Noah: Dad, do not believe Mum.

Philip: Please forgive mum.

Jack: Have pity on us.

Magus: (shouting) This Is the greatest betrayal, I have ever seen or heard of in my life. You all have to leave my house now.( He runs into the bedroom)

Oma: (panting) Please Magus forgive me, find a place in your heart to forgive me.

Magus: (comes into the parlour with a gun) Oma, Noah, Philip, Jack quickly run away from the house.

(Magus shouting) They should not come back to this house again or else they will meet their death. (He sit on a chair) oh! How do I begin again? Oma betrayed me.

Where will Magus bat start from? I am done for.

Oma went back to the pastor's office with her three children,( She sits on a chair, her children stand looking morose}

Oma: (sadly ) He has driven us from the house without anything.

Pastor: I shall follow you to the house but if he does not forgive you, You will have to take the children to their biological father.
