____
Nkechi, Richard and Patricia all set up for the dibia house prior to the appointment he gave to them, when they got there they were all ushered into the consultation room but this room is different from the one Nkechi was received three days ago.
Each sat down on the chair lost in their own thoughts when the dibia broke the silence.
“Patricia and Richard where do you both get your second daughter from” the dibia asked looking dangerously at them.
“What do you mean, they’re both her parents” Nkechi replied.
“Shut up woman,do you call the gods liers?” The dibia thundered.
“No wise one” Nkechi replied quietly.
“Now both of you where do you get your second daughter from?” He asked again.
“I didn’t get her from anywhere, she’s my daughter I birthed her” Patricia replied while Richard and his mother nodded in agreement.
The dibia gave a sly smile before chanting some incantations.
“Now if you don’t want the gods of this land to strike you down, for the last time where did you get your last daughter?” He yelled.
“She isn’t our daughter” Patricia blurts.
“What?” Nkechi asked holding her head.
“Yes Mama she isn’t our daughter,we found her in an helpless situation and we decided to help her” Richard replied.
“Do you know her parents?” The dibia asked more calmly this time.
“We wouldn’t have taken her as ours if we know her parents”. Richard replied.
“That child is a treasure lost twenty years ago, she is seen but not heard like her father” he said shaking his head gloomily.
“What do you mean?” They all chorus.
“She’s the missing princess of this land” The dibia announced.
“What!?” The trio exclaimed.
