Chapter Twenty-six
Tiana's POV.
I won't forgive myself if this is true.
"Dad!" I whispered with a shaky voice.
"Why are you being babyish about everything. What's wrong with what I did?" He sniffed and leaned over the door.
"You made me...in fact I thought... how could you?! I never knew this" I shuttered beneath tears.
"You see you can't understand a lot of things. You're still a kid and things..." He tried coax me but I cut him off.
"Ohhhh! It's okay. There's no point in arguing. The woman we're talking about is dead already, dad. You don't need to apologize" my head spanked hard in pain as I referred mum as a dead woman. The tears I tried to calm fell gently on my fingers.
I'm still a kid. He is not the first nor second that would say that to me. Probably I'm still a kid as claimed. The scorching sun beat my fragile skin

Tiana's POV The dusty road path made me to scrunch my nose and eyes in irritation as the car drove on the main road of the village.I was in my usual, hoddie and joggers. I was never fashion crazy when nothing happened to me, let alone in a mourning mood. I just packed my hair in a bun and NY face was nothing to write about, it was make-up blank. Just few minutes ago, we saw some malnourished children ;big stomach and head with tiny legs, dusty and looking uncared for on the way. Their eyes lingered through scorching sun at our car in awe.They stopped immediately when they sighted the car from afar and their their playing cans with tensed faces and waited for us to pass by.Children at the age of 2-4 among them had clothes that barely reached their knees.
