Heartbroken, Reina sits with her hands on her chin, pondering on how her chance at a better future just got destroyed. Few minutes later, Ekwutos marches into the compound looking like trouble as always..
Ekwutos: "You this evil girl, you have killed him abi, you have killed my husband for me, I told you to leave him but you refused now he's gone. Who will take care of my children? (begins to shed crocodile tears) Who will I call my husband? Ohh my God!!... I'm sure this was your plan so you'll be able to take all his property. Thank God I have male children,they won't let you touch anything."
Reina: (stares with a grief stricken demeanor)
Ekwutos: "You're not talking abi, wait for me I'm coming (rushes outside. Comes back in with her two older sons). Go inside there and throw out her bags. I want her out of my husband's house now "
Reina: "Please help me I have nowhere else to go. My baby is still very young"
Ekwutos: "Okay (laughs) so you can beg? I thought you couldn't talk. I warned you to leave my husband you didn't listen. It's my turn to not listen . Take your things and get out of here"
(The boys push her out with her baby on her back)
Reina: (Kneels on the floor and cries. Later walks out of the compound with her luggage) "I don't know why life treats me like this, when I thought I finally found happiness everything just turned worse again. What do I do now. I can't go back to my family they all hate me. Nobody is ready to help me. Maybe I should just end my life, I'm tired of this kind of life ... It's not fair.." (breaks down and sobs uncontrollably. As she nears the village river her baby too begins to cry)
"Don't cry please I'm already overwhelmed with the situation at hand don't add more to my sorrow"
She contemplates whether to leave the baby by the river bank or throw him in. After much thought, she leaves him there with a note....
"When found please take care of him he's only a victim of circumstances. He has neither mother not father and he needs your love. His name is Illumination..."
