Did everything later go well with you and him yesterday at Umuoma Day? Ada asked Chinelo Chima’s girlfriend.
What are you talking about Sis? Chinelo responded pretending she doesn’t know what Ada is asking her of.
I’m with you on this okay? I’m not asking to judge you. You can confide in me as a sis you just called me. Ada calmly told her.
His name is Emmy and yes, everything went well. We are chatting already and he’s serious about what he’s telling me. Chinelo said.
Which is…? Ada asked.
He said he didn’t come for friendship or a long time courtship he said he came for marriage if I can let everything flow. Chinelo said.
Chinelo listen, I don’t know what type of relationship you are having with Chima my brother but I know Chima isn’t serious about the relationship. I want you to place value on yourself. A man can not value you if you don’t value yourself. Traveling with a guy to his village to celebrate Christmas and new year and sleeping in the same room with him when you also know the guy doesn’t have any plans for you are so wrong. It doesn’t speak decent of you. You are very beautiful. Every day in the room you and Chima will be abusing each other. Is that the type of marriage you want for yourself? Let me ask you, did Chima tell you he will marry you? Ada asked.
He will not marry me. There’s no single day that passes by he will not tell me he’s only dancing to his mother’s tune by keeping his town girl. Chinelo said.
And you are still sleeping in the same room and on the same bed with him? I like you Chinelo. The only advice I will give to you is for you to pick up your bag and go back to your parents. If Emmy finds out you are in another man’s house trust me he wouldn’t have told you all that he told you. If you have searched yourself thoroughly and you feel nothing for Chima and you feel something for Emmy then go for Emmy before you lose both. Ada advised.
Thanks, sis. You are such a lovely person. Chinelo said.
You are welcome. Just let me know any time you are ready to leave but know I’m not chasing you away. If you don’t feel like leaving until after the new year celebration you can stay back okay? Ada said.
No, no! Sis, I want to leave right now because Emmy said he wants to come to our compound. But sis I don’t have money to buy something for my mom as I go to visit her.
Send me your account details I have thirty thousand for you. You can always call me cause we are family now. Ada told her.
Chinelo was so excited. She hugged Ada and went inside the room and packed her bag and hurriedly left before Chima comes back.
Both of you are welcome to my house. I’m so happy you both came. At least people will know I’m not in enmity with my people. What will I offer you people now? Mama Uzo said.
No, don’t bother yourself at all we came to tell you something important. Ngozi said.
My co-wife, yesterday at Umuoma day. We saw your son Uzordimma with Adanna daughter of Fidelia the headmistress. We were asking ourselves if his mother is at home and aware he was making this move because merely looking at them you can tell they were discussing something that will lead to marriage. We said we can’t sit and watch your only son bring curse home to you as a daughter-in-law. Nkoli said.
My co-wife, when I told the headmistress that I saw her daughter with Uzo your son. Headmîss shouted and rejected it. She said over her déad body will her daughter marry into the family epilepsy runs in their lineage. She continued shouting your family suffers from Akwukwu that’s Epy (Epilepsy) she vomited many things from her month yesterday. She also said it was the same epilepsy that killed your husband in the city. Chai! Innocent Papalolo! May your soul continue to rest in peace. Ngozi cried.
My dear let me even tell you. Do you know that headmîss is even a wîtch? Amuosu Abali (midnight wîtch). She kept her husband in the condition he is now. She is controlling all her children telling them who to marry and who not to marry. You know you people hardly come home to know the evil people we have in this village that’s why we are here to save your son. We used to be headmiss best of friends but we flew from her when she refused to turn from her evil ways. Nkoli continued her lies.
Mama Uzo was dumbfounded. She was so confused that her mouth couldn’t close anymore. She was turning ahead towards the direction of Nkoli and Ngozi as they talk.
My co-wives, I thank both of you for this information. I didn’t know that good people who protect people from falling into the fire are still in this village. God bless you both my co-wives. So some people in this village are believing it was epilepsy that kill Papalolo, my husband? No problem. Uzo’s mother said as she remembered her late husband.
Don’t cry my co-wife. God has already used us to save you and your son from being trapped in headmistress witchery. My dear, we will be going now. Don’t worry we will be coming to spend time with you so you won’t be feeling left out in all the happenings in this village. Ngozi said and they both stood up.
Dàlu nú ndî nwûnyé dî’m (thank you so much my co-wive)
Ngozi and Nkoli left Mama Uzo’s compound.
Nne biko werugodi aka (my dear please high five) Ngozi said and they high five.
Will have shattered it. Hahaha! After all, is just what we and the headmistress are doing to other people we did to her. Is it not our children married village men and they are still living in this village with their husbands it’s now Ada’s turn that one that doesn’t have any regard for her elders she wants her to marry a rich guy and a rich man’s son. Never! She will marry what others married or remain single or better still marry outside where we will not be seeing her. Ngozi said.
My dear, you have said it all. We will still go to Mama Uzo’s house tomorrow to know if what we are cooking is boiling. For now, let’s go and sit and cross our legs and wait for headmîss to come and gist us the marriage plans didn’t hold. Nkoli said laughing.
Gbam! (Exactly) that marriage will not hold. Ngozi sealed it.
My sister, it will not oh! Nkoli concurred with her and they continued going.
Gift, you are at home. I thought you went out with Chinelo? Chima who just came back asked Gift Somto’s girlfriend about Chinelo as he didn’t see her in the room.
No, we did not. Chinelo has gone. Gift said.
Gone where? Chima who wasn’t observant enough to check Chinelo’s bag rushed back to the room to confirm if Chinelo has left and found nothing that belongs to Chinelo in the room. He remembered Ada once told him she will tell Chinelo to go back to her parents since he said he won’t marry her. Chima ran to where Ada is. And held her neck.
Ada, what did you tell Chinelo and where is she? Chima asked Ada holding her by the neck so tight.
