Chapter: Chapter TwelveChapter TwelveThe seasons for the rains had come and it seemed to Edna like the gate of heavens were open as rain fell down heavily. She heard a sound but could not detect immediately if it was her mind playing games with her or a reality. She recalled that she had seen a strange man at the kitchen during the weekend but the idea of telling Mrs Coker wasn't a pleasant one as she felt it was inappropriate considering the emotional turmoil she was experiencing. Cold shivers ran through her body as the thought of strange figures moving around the house scared her. A screeching sound came from the main entrance of the house which got her startled as it increased her curiosity."What if they were dangerous people at the door." She thought.It would be of great relief if someone could walk to the sitting room and observe were the sounds were coming from, but

Chapter: Chapter ElevenAll that Edna knew about Mr Coker was his complacent behaviour because she had observed him for sometime now and the rift that grew between him and his wife as the day passed by. On tuesday they had been an argument between the both of them which had led Mr Coker to the choice of coming back home late at the middle of the night as he reeked of alcohol. It came as a shock to Edna when the quarrels increased and the cause of it was yet unknown to her but got her thinking.Mrs Coker had left early that morning to the office to get some of the papers given to her by the secretary, the previous day to review.

Chapter: Chapter TenIt was about seven am in the morning Mr Coker woke up like every other working day, he got himself dressed for work and left immediately without having breakfast. Mrs Coker woke up from her sleep as the droplets of rain that fell in torrents last night made the morning air breezy and cold, it was indeed a wet night. She got up from the bed clumsily and looked at the wall clock placed in the middle of the room adjacent to their bed. It was seven thirty in the morning, she grouched still feeling sleepy. She laid back again in bed and watched as two black birds hopping on the window sang beautifully. Her senses felt numb accompanied by a feeling of tiredness as they was a need to rest. Immediately she recalled that a presentation had to be given in the office, and it needed to be attended to quickly. Getting up from her bed she went into the bathroom and had her bath. Instructions was passed by her to everyone that was part of the household. The day was young, until about one o,
