Turning Table

Part 181

Me: yes, she is, "

Zuko: that grandma who tried to put you back in jail? "

Me: Zuko!"

Nicky: it's not as if Oyama was spring chicken, Muntu was his age group "

Zuko: you know it makes sense now Ginger and maRose fell in love with Sugar Daddy "

They both bust out and laughed while I rolled my eyes at them lord, they are such idiots

Me: Hay cut it out! "I scowled at them, and they zipped it, I moved my focus back to Sam, who was conflicted with all of this information, but do you blame him?

Sam: how is this possible?... Muntu was married to the Cape Town drug lord and Nothing in her medical report indicated that she had a son ... "

Me: because that is what she wanted people to believe, look I don't know too much about the affair between Muntu and Oyama all I know is that Muntu was a vulnerable widow after Oyama killed her husband, So, between grieve and revenge you were created by two sworn enemies, Muntu wanted to keep you a secret after you were born, ways to protect you from Oyama, but he found out about you and that's when he abducted you and handed you to Mzi, to raise you as his own"

Sam: I don't understand, he knew about me, but he still gave me away? why? "

Sy: He did what he did to protect you from his family, "we all looked at Simon who was standing by the window

Sy: Nicky was given up for adoption, as well as you Sam and Rose were also forced to give up her parental rights for Zuko, the plan was that I raise Zuko but Rose took him to her mother, it was a safe option but it did not teach him about who he is and how he is so important to that family "

Zuko: what? "

Sy looked at me requesting my consent to take over, I nodded and he cleared his throat and spoke

"It says in the scriptures, "A man's worst enemies, will be they of his own house." Having been born into a family does not mean everyone in your family will treat you as family. Sometimes, some people in your family may treat you as an enemy. One reason would be jealousy, like a brother or sister being jealous of the other's achievements or the attention one sibling is getting more than the other from their parents or community. Another reason would be spite, due to a family member feeling the need to hurt verbally or physically someone they want to see in a humbled or inferior position in life. Or the other may be A family member who may be controlling and resent the person they are trying to control for resisting their influence over them. That is the kind of family Oyama was protecting you from all these years'"

Zuko: bullshit! Oyama did not wake up one day and everybody hated him, are we forgetting what kind of man was he? "

Sy: Evil Is Not Born. Evil Is Made Zuko, Oyama was born into this mass, he is his father's son and his father took his trades from his father, just another vicious circle, a generational curse or more of the role appointed to them that made them like that, Judging by his sons it looks like he brought good genes height, muscle, high testosterone to the table as well. But deep down you two have the same cold-blooded trade as he inherited from his forefathers,"

Sam: Bullshit!" he lashed out at Sy

"There's a quote that says "Mothers teach children about unconditional love. Fathers teach children about conditional love." While it may be true, showing love is largely how it is shown, and this is where fathers screw up. I'm not saying this to justify how he treated you all or maybe try to condone his toxic behaviors.

But there is power in leaving and accepting things as they are, without trying to change them, you are his only living bloodline and you have a role to play in that Family"
