For whatever reason that was yet to be clear to Dele, Sanya who was the smallest in size was the leader of the group. Dele, like many of his classmates, did not like him much. Yes, Dele replied.
I mean the woman with the burnt face who was trying to hide t but the breeze will not let her? why is her body like that? Sanya asked.
Dele was not sure if the boy was trying to mock him or he genuinely wanted to know. However, he obliged him.
Yes, she is my mother, Dele said.
What happened to her body was, she was burnt by fire, he said.
Of course I know she wouldn't have been burnt by water or air, Sanya said.
Dele was angry, but he saw bigger boys who stood like body guards to the small naughty boy, so he decided to ignore and leave.
