My Father’s Secret

Well we buried our father this past weekend when it’s time for me the first son to perform the traditional rites as our itsekiri custom demands. My uncles brought 4 people 2 boys and 2 girls they are my fathers children that we don’t know about I am number 2 of 6 from my mothers side. I couldn’t even cry it was embarrassing. I’m not the senior boy anymore, I now have two older brothers. I still feel pain about it. And to even find out my mom knew about it made it worse. It’s not like I hate them, I mean I’m happy and pained at same time because of the embarrassing situation I found myself in the presence of my wife. We are now 10 children in total.
