The first time I told my family about my lover they didn't believe me. "Oh, she's just making up stories again." "How could a man have found her here, anyway? "It has to be a lie."
They believe me now though.
Now that I've given birth to these wonderful children.
They're perfect in every way.
A girl...
And a boy.
The elders have been talking about punishing me for my affair with a man, but whatever they choose to do; I can handle it.
As long as I still have my two little angels here with me; I can handle it.
