Chapter 1: The Tension at Home

In a household where tension simmers, Adeola navigates the unpredictable temperament of her father. Known for his short fuse and sharp remarks, she has learned to observe him closely and predict his reactions, a skill that has proven essential for maintaining peace. In contrast, her sisters, Adanna and Sade, do not share this instinct, often finding themselves on the receiving end of his outbursts. Remarkably, Adeola has managed to avoid such confrontations—until now.

On a dreary Tuesday afternoon, Adeola's father stepped out, providing only the location of his outing, leaving the family in the dark about his activities. When he returned home at 6 PM, it was evident he had an exhausting day. Adeola understood that this was not the time to disturb him; instead, she needed to keep her distance. Her sisters, particularly Adanna, lacked this awareness, which led to unnecessary confrontations.

Adanna, unaware of their father's mood, immediately approached him with complaints about missing condiments from the pantry, especially ketchup. Adeola wondered why Adanna had waited until their father returned, knowing full well he was likely tired and would not appreciate the interruption. Their mother arrived shortly after, creating another opportunity for Adanna to ask about the ketchup, yet she chose to confront their father instead.

Observing the chaos unfold, Adeola thought, "This could have easily been avoided had they understood our father's temperament." Later, Adanna approached Adeola, puzzled by the reaction to her seemingly innocent request. Adeola, ever the peacemaker, listened without judgment, knowing that pointing out Adanna's error would only lead to conflict and silence between them.

Who do you think was at fault in this situation—Adanna or their father?
