ABUJA,NIGERIA 2005

"Hey Little one why the tears?"i said to Amaani while sitting close to her in the garden.

"Abba is so busy,I want to play"She said while pouting.



"C'mon I can play with you"

"No,I want to go to mum,I missed her it's been so long"she said while crying.



"But we have a new momma"

"She's not so nice like Abba"

"I have a plan little one"i said with a smile.

"Mum is coming?"She asked curiously.



"We're going to have to run away tomorrow"

"To mum?"she asked.



"Yes...but it's our little secret okay?"



"Okay.."she said with no further questions.

The sun rise so bright as it was a new day and the night was so short,it was 5:30Am,I was so nervous and ready to get done with this.



"Little one"I said while tapping Amaani slowly.



"It's time to go?"she asked



"Yes,put this on"I gave her some clothes to change into and a sweeter to add a top.



"Are you ready?"I asked.



"Yes"she said with a smile,and I grab our small bag which I pack in some few clothes in It.

Stepping slowly,one step after another we found our selves out of the house and soon we hit the road and far from home.



"I'm so tired"she said.

"We'll get their soon okay?"

"Can't we get a car?"she said with tear in her eyes.



"We don't have money Amaani"

"Where are we heading to then?"

"We're going to the park,so we get a car to go see mum okay?"



"Okay"she answered.

After a long walk she paused and sat on the floor.



"I'm so tired and hungry,my legs ache a lot""she said while crying hard and a man came by passing took her in his arms.

"Where are you heading to?are you lost?do you have an address"

"No where"I answered nervously.
