"She is what is wrong with me. " I pointed at Osas."she has always been the problem ever since she came Into my life. Into my family's life."

"It's enough Ola."

"Oh no Rasaq. It's not enough. You asked what is wrong with me so I'm telling you."

"Can't you be-"

"It's okay Rasaq. Let her talk".

"But Osas-".

"It's okay Rasaq." Osas said.

I scoffed.

"Do you have any problem with me Ola cause i don't have with you."

"You know this is what I hate. You feel your perfect, righteous, you feel so so high, you feel your life is perfect but it's just as messed up as others."

"You think I feel perfect Ola. People look at me and call me weird cause of the scars on my back, people run away from me-"

"The same old excuses. I hallucinate, my scars, my panic - get over it Osas ! It's been six  years! Six years all this happened to you." I came closer to her. " You know what I think, I think you use those words to win people over. You use those lines to get people to love you. It worked for my mom and dad. The loved you more than their own flesh and blood. I felt like the adopted one. Isn't that ironic."

"Your saying nonsense Ola. Mom and dad loved more than anything."

"Mom and dad?!. They are my mom and dad not yours !".

"Ola.." Rasaq drawled.

"You know what Ola. I think that your insecure. Your insecure about your self, you think no one loves you, no one notices you but your wrong-"

"Oh but I'm not wrong. Ever since you came into my life i became a shadow to you. It's always Osas and the other daughter. I'm their own flesh and blood."

"What are you -"

"To be frank with you. I blame you for my mom's death. If she had not taken you to the hospital that day she would never been in that car accident -"

"Ola that's enough!" Rasaq boomed

I watched as tears trickled down her face.

"I wonder why you never died in that accident. Your always escaping from death. "

Rasaq grabbed my arm tightly. I shrugged from his grip but it was pointless his grip was strong.

Osas slowly sat down on the couch.

" My dad's heart is failing. He had a heart attack. The doctor told him to rest.  His own daughter told him to retire and rest but do know that he said, he said he can't because of Osas. Because of you !"

Osas looked shocked. " Heart attack ?".

"Are you deaf or what. He had heart attack but he still wants to remain in the hospital all because of you. Osas if my dad dies I will blame you. I'll never forgive you."

Rasaq began to drag me away.

"And why are you dragging me ehh. Has this whore wrapped up in her arms eh. So you still like her ?". I snapped at Rasaq.

"Stop saying nonsense." His grip eased.

I dragged my hands away from him. " Am I lyi-"

"Dad won't die... Dad can't die...." Osas

"Because of you he might Osas."

"Dad won't die. I won't let him too." She jerked up from the couch.

"And why won't be since he does not want to leave the hospital."
