Episode 21
I went with my friends to the female detention center
and saw the head warden, I told her that I wanted to
speak with one of the detainees and I told her that it was
mama d I wanted to see, she took me to the visitors
room and I sat Down and waited a bit before mama d
was led out, I couldn’t even believe at first that she was
the one, until when she got closer and then I saw she
was the one, she looked so lean and sick and her face
was battered up with bruises, I could not still believe
that she was the same woman that I grew up knowing.
She sat opposite me and I stared at her the warden had
already told me that I just had fifteen minutes to speak
with her.
Me: I came here to know the truth about my parents.
Mama d: your parents
Me: yes! Who are my parents and were are they
Mama d: your parents are not far from you, my late
husband brought you when you were eight months old,
my husband was an armed robber at that time but your
mother was his ex girlfriend but she left him when he
joined bad gang and married your father, you were not
their first child, you had two brothers and a sister, my
husband took you because you looked like your mother
and your arrival to the family brought so much joy to
them all.
Me: you said my parents are not far from me
Mama d: let me finish the story mini, my husband had a
change of heart months later and wanted to return you
back but he could not as the cold hands of death
cuddled him away leaving me stuck with you and I hated
you because my husband loved your mother till he died
Me: enough of the story (I said as I have heard enough)
where am I parents
Mama d: I have to show you to your parents, I can’t tell
you who they are but I will return you to them (at that
time the warden came telling us that our time was over
and mama d stood up and the warden wanted to lead
her in but she had not yet told me who my parents were
and I needed to know)
Me: tell me who my parents are
Mama d: (she just looked back) I have to take you to
them (she was lead inside and I just wondered why she
insisted on taking me herself to my parents, I went to
head warden and told her what she wanted to do and
the head warden notified me that mama d had
previously asked for permission and that she will be
given an hour tomorrow and she will be able to take me
to my true parents. I thanked her and walked back to my
friends, I was wondering in my mind who my parent
were and why mama d insists on taking me there
herself, tomorrow I will finally meet my parents and my
family)
