Hannah was brought up in a family of six people; her mother, father and her three siblings . As an elder daughter ,her parents trained her well so as she can be a good example for her siblings .

Hannah's parents were wealthy so they could provide anything their kids may need . They went to an international school ,they had workers all around them , everything a child could need was there .

Mr and Mrs Thatcher taught there children well , all though they were very spoilt but they had respect which was a rare thing for such kind of kids .

Hannah , being the first born in the family , she wanted to do her best in everything she do so as ; be it in class , at home or even when they were out somewhere .

This really made her parents proud . That even made her parents to trust her with a lot of things . The house while they were not around even their own account she had their bank codes , although she was just thirteen years old .

Despite everything that Mr and Mrs Thatcher provided for their kids, there was nlone main thing that therir children lacks ; the spiritual up bringing .

These four children rarely go to church.

Since they were allowed to do anything they want and moreso their parents were busy from Monday to Monday , so they failed to know God .

Their parents forgot that bible verse which say ; let the children come to me .

Even while she was still a little girl , Hannah was really disturbed with so many sorts of strange question . Like 'how did we came to existence.? '. 'Who built the earth, how can some creatures like fish crocodile , hippopotamus and so many creatures survive and live in water and yet they are not dead?. Where do people go when they die .?

These questions were disturbing her day in day out but she had no one to answer them . One day she gathered so much courage and asked her parents a bout some of the questions . Although they were surprised to hear such kind of questions from their daughter as young as she was , but they did not want to show it since they beleive they have answers to all the questions . So they just told the little girl .

'You are too young to know these things , wait when you grow up you will get the answers for all the qiestions .

This kind of answer seems satisfying at that moment but it did not mean that the questions were shunned too. They keep on piling on her head day after day.

There was a day she said enough was enough so she waited for a while till her dad was out of the house then she went to her mothers room as she always do while her father was not around.

"Mom . "

"Yes , tell me."

"Who are we.?"

"What do you mean who are we .?"

"Like my friend Bennitah says there are four denominations in the country ; christians , pagans, islams and Hindus . Where do we belong .?"

"Of course we are Christians . Or have you never seen the types of clothes hindus and islmas put on .?"

"But mum if we are Christians why are we not attending any church services .?"

Because i dont have time for that Hannah . If you want to attend churches wait untill you guys closed school so that you can visit your grand parents they might take you there."

"But mo..."

"Can you excuse me i have a lot to do in this room before i went out ."

This was how this kind of questions ends , and she will just go back to her room with this questions on her head.

'I dont know why mother dont like such kind of questions . Or am i doing the wrong things .?'

She will ask herself these numerous questions but none of them will get the answer .

One day dmshe decided to ask her father the same questions but unlike her mother , Mr Thatcher was not that friendly , that made it not easy to approach him .

" Daddy , why are we not going to church like my friend Zoe ?."

"Just go ask Zoe why they usually go to church and where they get such energy and time to listen to those bullshit ."

" But daddy they are not bullshit , she told me that they are usually...?"

Kindly spare me with your questions and buts , as you can see am very busy at the moment , i need to finish all these works you are seeing here , your church questions wont help me right now ."

Hannah was so heartbroken , although she knew her father was cruel but he has never shown her this other kind of him . She went straight to her room and she cried bitterly . When her smaller sister who was following her saw her crying , she went and reported it to her mother .

Being a mother pushed her to know what was wrong with her child .

"Hey sweetheart why are you crying .?"

"I was just asking father a question and he talked to me badly . "

"What has he said .?"

"He just talk to me harshly."

"Okay stop crying I'll talk to him ."

After like two minutes Mr Thatcher came into her room .

"Honey i did not mean to talk to you like that . I was just having some problems with my work . Am sorry honey ."

"Its okay daddy . Am alright . "

"Now come and give daddy a big hug ."

This was atleast , Mr Thatcher always know how to sooth his children whenever they were annoyed. He will give them gifts and so many things just to make them happy .

"Now let's go out to have some ice cream ."
