    Four months after Zara Jidenna was born, Lekki house was still divided into two. Master bedroom for Amara and Zara, guest room for Jidenna. No talking, no eating together, no touching. Only Zara's cry connected them every two hours at night. But that Tuesday morning was different. Because Jidenna woke up with decision in his head. He did not go to work early like before. He sat in sitting room by 6am, wearing singlet and shorts, not suit, holding two things in his hand. One was the DNA flyer that Ifunanya dropped that has been in his drawer for one month. The other was his phone with 12 missed calls from Mama Jidenna and 3 voice notes from driver and maid gossiping. Amara came downstairs by 6:30am with Zara on her chest, wrapper tied, going to kitchen to warm water. She saw Jidenna in sitting room and stopped. She wanted to go back upstairs.

Just silence and Zara's cry every two hours. Amara in master bedroom, Jidenna in guest room, both living like landlord and tenant who hate each other. That night was a Tuesday night, rain was falling small small on Lekki roof, AC was making cold noise, Zara was sleeping in her small white crib in master bedroom, wearing pink onesie, her curly hair scattered on pillow, light skin glowing under small night lamp. Amara was sitting on floor, folding Zara's small clothes, small socks, small hats, small gowns that Jidenna bought from Mothercare when Zara was one month old. Her eyes were red, she had not slept well for 3 months, her wrapper tied loosely, hair not combed for 4 days. Jidenna entered without knocking. He pushed master bedroom door open with leg. He was drunk again, third time that week. Small be

They were avoiding each other like enemies.
