Now, he knew that his mother was very loving and caring. She was good not only to her children but to other children as well. The children in the neighbourhood loved her, they had become used to her and they saw nothing wrong with her, Dele too had never seen anything wrong with his mother.
Many of his classmates saw him with his mother and they would stop and stare at them. The stare was actually on his mother and Dele knew that they would ask him questions about what happened to her.
He was already tired of explaining to them that she was burnt in a fire. Then, the following day at school, he got questions from many of his classmates and he still responded to them.
