1 Where Is My Daughter?!

"Where is my daughter?!!

Where is she?!

I want my daughter this instant!"

"What are you talking about?!

And, who are you again?!"

"Are you done, woman?!!

How dare you ask me that?!!"

"No, I'm not done yet!!

In fact, I'm not even close!!"

"You!!"

"Please, get out of my house this minute!! I hate seeing your face!!"

"What?!!"

"Yes!! Get out!!"

"You hate seeing my beautiful face, but you allow those cheap chimpanzees in your home!

Doing such disgusting things in front of my daughter?!!"

"What disgusting things and don't tell me you are talking about men"

"Of course, I am! Those ugly things you bring in here to corrupt my daughter's eyes!"

"Get out right now!! I don't need headaches!!"

"Headaches?!

Are you high, Baby?!!"

"Yes! I'm high!! And if you don't leave this minute, I will do something you will regret!!"

"Ohhh! You just try, woman!! You just try and let me remind you of the kind of person I am!! It seems you've forgotten already!!"

"Just send me my daughter right this minute!!

You think you can hide her away from me forever?!"

"Why are you asking me about your daughter?

How am I to know where your daughter is, huh?!!

Am I your daughter's nanny?!!

Go ask your "lovely" wife where your daughter is or better still, your nanny!!"

"You are daring me, woman!!

What wife are you talking about, huh?"

"Do you ask me that?

No, are you seriously asking me that?!

Please, just get the hell out of my house!!"

"Where exactly did you hear that from?

And who says I'm married?!"

"And how is that my business, sir Diam?!"

"What?!

Sir Diam?!

Since when?!"

"Since forever!

Now leave!! Just leave me alone, I don't have the time for all this!"

"And you think I do?

What is all this, Baby?"

"Don't you dare call my name again! Just get the hell out!!"

"I will leave after you get me my daughter!

You've done enough! I want to take care of my daughter myself!"

*Sigh!*

"I've already told you to go look for your daughter in your home! Your daughter did not come here!"

"Are you taking me for a fool, Baby?!

You and I know what I'm talking about!"

"No! I don't!"

"Show me my daughter now!"

"You don't have a daughter!

"....."

Total silence!

"Mama?"

"Oh, my God!

Sweetie, why are you back this early?"

"They are doing something in my school and the head asked us to go home"

"Oh, is that so?"

"Yeah! The miss at my school said she called you but you didn't pick up!

Why mama?"

"Really?

I'm sorry, baby. Something came up and that is why I didn't see that call"

"That's fine mama! *Smiles*

"Thank you miss, for sending her back home"

"It's fine madam. We are just doing our job. Have a good day madam, sir"

"Yes, have a good day too"

"Teacher left*

"Mama?"

"Yes sweetie"

"Who is that fine man, mama?

He looks like baby!"

"....."

*Silence*

"Baby?

He doesn't look like you, ok?

Go upstairs to your room now, mama will come attend to you soon, yeah?"

"Okay mama!

Bye mister!"

"Bye child"

"Please, leave now! I want to go and attend to my daughter now!"

"Even "your daughter" could tell that I'm her father! Her face, her skin, just everything is equal to mine!

So tell me, what more do you want to say?!"

"I'm her mother and as a mother that gave birth to her, I alone can tell who my Baby's father is! And I'm looking at you and telling you right now that you do not have a daughter here!

So, go back and meet any woman of your choice, if you are that desperate to have a daughter to do it with you and have your own daughter!"

"Are you serious right now, baby?"

"One hundred percent! So, get lost!

I don't know you, you don't know me!!"

"What?!!

What did you just say?!!"

"You heard me loud and clear!!

Or, have you forgotten those lines?"

*******

"Father?"

"Mhm?"

"I've tried auntie's number, it's not connecting!"

"Didn't I tell you not to bother about her?

I know my sister too well. Whenever one needs help, you will never see her around. But when things are going smoothly, then be prepared to see her face every second!

Don't call her again, alright?"

"Yes, father.

But father?"

"Mhm?"

"How are we going to meet up with that deadline?

I don't think we can ever meet up with such an amount. It's just too much!"

"It's alright, Baby. We will look for a way to balance everything"

"How, father?

It's not that easy. We have been trying for weeks without succeeding. I think... it's best we go...to Mr. Dane"

"No! We can't do that! He won't help that way.

What do you think he would do if we go to him, hm?

Do you think he will just solve everything for us just like that?!

No, baby girl. Things might go sour if we ever did that!"

"If we don't do that, father, then what other options do we have left?!

None! None, father!

We should just try our luck with him rather than assuming things"

"It's really difficult, baby. I don't just want anything bad to Happen to you…"

"I know you mean well, father. Don't worry too much about me, I'll be fine"

"No! I won't allow it! It's a no, baby. You can't go to him"

"....."

"Please, go get the door. Someone is knocking"

"Yes father"

"Good day"

"Hello, good day to you too"

"Ok, I understand.

Thank you"

"Yes, miss"

"Who was that, baby?"

"It's... it's a reminder"

"From the bank?"

"Yes father"

*Sigh!*

"It's alright, baby. It will all be fine!"

"No father! I was just trying to make you see reasons with me and now this?

In fact, I'm going there right this instant before the close of the day!"

"Please, don't do this, baby…father will work hard to make everything better!"

"You have tried enough, father. We can not continue this way. It will become worse soon!"

"It won't"

"Yes it will, father! I will go and plead with him. There must be a way out of this! We can't just continue hoping and hoping fruitlessly.

Stop worrying, father. I will be fine. Things will go well, you'll see!"
