THE REJECTED STONE

chapter 10: unknown pov

I stood by the window side and watched everything that had been happening. does she really deserves all that they have been doing to her, why are they so cruel to her, what have she ever done to them to treat her this way

I thought as I watched the woman and her daughter mistreat the poor girl

muna seems nice to me she is so humble and respectful and also an hardworking girl but the other one mouna seems rude and arrogant and always gets the support of their mother

I wander why their mother hated muna so much. is she not the one that gave birth to both of them why is she treating one nicely and the other badly?. what has muna ever done to her to deserve this

I watched with pity as I watched muna cleared the plate. it was obvious that she was hurt and was even crying, I really felt for her

she finished clearing the plates and took them to the kitchen to wash them

***********Amadi's pov*****************

I left the house for my flight that Saturday afternoon. I am still mad at Amanda for what she did to muna, I mean how could she do that does she not have any conscience why would she treat muna that way just because muna is not her daughter doesn't give her the right to do such.

I let out a sigh of frustration this is all my fault, I blame myself for everything, I felt like I have failed in my responsibility as a father to muna. I bent my head as I rubbed it with my fingers " we are here sir " my driver informed me I took a deep breath and got down from the car then entered the airport

I was already sitted in the plane and used my seatbelt as the plane was already about to take off but my mind kept thinking about muna, I wonder how she will be doing, if she's fine

what I saw that Saturday made me to investment more I couldn't contain my anger as I watched what Amanda was doing to muna. I was actually coming to get a glass of water to drink when I heard Amanda's voice " where do you think you are coming from by this time of the day " at first I smiled at Amanda's dramatic behavior, Amanda can be dramatic especially when she is worried so I was thinking that was the case but when I go to the kitchen what I saw caught me off guard, I was angry and disappointed at the same time cause I was not expecting what I saw. I rested my head on my sit as I took a deep breath that was what triggered my curious mind and made me investigate more cause Amanda was not giving me a satisfactory explanation.

though most times Amanda complains about muna and at the same time I call muna to talk to her and ask her about what her mother said she did but she won't tell me anything. most time she spaces out but anytime I asked her she says she is fine but what I saw on Saturday made me want to know more of what has been happening in the house in my absence, with that I hired a private investigator to monitor everything that is happening in the house while I made enquires from close neighbours and other villagers and all that I was hearing was so disheartening

I even went to muna and mouna's school only to find out that muna hardly comes to class even during exams but mouna had always been coming to class

I sighed as I taught my business meeting is in few hours and I have to get ready

the plane finally landed in Abuja and I got a private car then made my way to Titan rice producing company where the business meeting is going to hold
