THE REJECTED STONE

Chapter 1

it's another daylight in obioma village, the bird are whistling.

Here I am thinking of how I am going to end my long suffering, each time the day breaks another torture begins for me

I have being like this ever since my father died and my mom and sis changed towards me, sometimes I wonder if I have ever done anything wrong to them. I wonder what today will bring for me

all these have been going on in my mind as I get up to say my prayers

" father Lord in heaven, thank you for the light of another day,....Lord please lead me right" after saying this I got up on my feet to leave my room to do my chores this morning. I stay in a very small room and it is not really furnished, I don't have a bed to sleep all I have is my cloths which is not even up to a bag

I have got only two pieces of cloths.

I took a look at my room once again and head for the kitchen to prepare breakfast what I am to prepare that morning was tea with and bread with fried egg I proceed to frying the egg when I heard my name "Muna, Muna" my sister mouna shouted as she descend the stairs and came inside the kitchen." are you deaf or something, didn't you hear that I was calling you what's wrong with you this girl" mouna said as she slapped me. I held cheek with my right palm while I sob inside me then I replied " I'm sorry I was doing something in the kitchen while you were calling"

" and so, is what ever you are doing important than me calling you" mouna said as she was fuming

"no" was all I could say

"anyways, I've got cloths for you to wash and I would like you to finish with them before 2pm cause I would be traveling to Lagos" she said as she takes a drink from the fridge " alright mouna" I replied

" sorry what did you just call me" she turned from the fridge

" mouna" I replied innocently
