lV. Climax The father struggles with depression due to his son marrying Nene. Consequently, the towns people started to say his son had Satan inside of him because he married an outsider. Okeke then realizes that he made a mistake by not being in his grandchildren's lives nor being their to support his son.

lV. Resolution At the end Nnaemeka and Nene were married for 8yrs and had 2 sons, but Okeke wasn’t really involved in their lives. One day he received a letter from Nene saying their children wanted to see him, but Okeke soon realized it might be too late for him!
