???????????? Christmas In The Village EPISODE THIRTEEN: ????
I hope you have not lost your mind. Take your hands off my neck. Ada warns Chima who is holding her cloth around her neck.
Chimaobi! It is your senior sister you are holding! What has come over you Chima, have you joined this village’s bad boys and started smoking what they smôke? Ada’s father cried out through the window.
Somto heard his father’s voice in his sleep. He quickly woke up and met Chima fighting Ada. He rushed to separate them but Chima was proven stubborn and it led to a fight between Somto and Chima. It happened to be a big fight Ada, Gift, and Njideka couldn’t separate the fight. they shouted for help, and neighbors gathered and had the fight separated.
Uzo, who was the girl people saw you talking with yesterday? Uzo’s mother asked.
Nne’m oh! (My mother) okay, mama, I will tell you. Her name is Adanna. She represented Ward 7 yesterday at the Umuoma Day celebration and they won. If you see her mama you will like her. Uzo said.
No, I don’t think I will like her. Please whatever arrangement you have had with her cancel it. I don’t want to hear about her in this house. Mama Uzo said.
Mama, what happened? You weren’t even present at Umuoma day, how come you talked about her like you know her? Uzo calmly said.
Her mother who saw you yesterday standing with her daughter said unspeakable things about you and our family. She also said over her dead body will you marry her daughter? She added that epilepsy runs in our lineage. the most scary part of it all is that people fear her in this village because she practices witchcraft. She might go to any length for her to keep her daughter away from you. Uzo’s mother sounded so sure.
Christ! A mother who sounded the way she did is truly a witch that doesn’t want her daughter’s progress. That epilepsy runs in our lineage. Mama, is that what the villagers think of us? Uzo asked.
That’s what some of them believe. Said Uzo’s mother said.
To hell with them! Mama, I say to hell with all of them. I’ve zeroed my mind from marrying from this village. They should go ahead and give their daughters to those that don’t have epilepsy running in their blood. It’s fine mama don’t feel sad. Anything they are thinking about our family is their business. We are blessed even with what they call us. All of them having nothing running in their blood are wallowing in poverty. Uzo angrily said.
If you had married when your father brought his friend’s daughter Vivian to you to marry, me and these village women will not be having this conversation of epilepsy here and there. As an only son, you would have been married long ago but you said God’s time is the best. I saw reasons with you but Uzo I think God’s time is here. Listen, my boy, I don’t expect you to marry from Umuoma. Your father saw Umuoma women and still come to Eziama and married me. Marry from anywhere leave Umuoma women. Uzo’s Mother said.
Mom, next year we are entering will not pass me by it’s a promise. Don’t let what that woman said bother you okay, and again Mom we are still leaving here for the City this weekend after the new year celebration. I’m tired of this village already. Uzo said.
What else are we still doing here after the new year celebration? We are leaving. Uzo’s mother said.
Ada’s mom who they informed where she was that her children were fighting ran home and met crowds in her compound. She chased everyone out of her compound and locked the entrance gate.
What is the meaning of this? Why did you both disgrace me in this in this manner? You both gathered crowds in my compound to come and separate siblings fighting? Chimóo! (My God oh) which face will I use and walk in this village? Now if I’m passing they will be pointing fingers at me saying headmistress that couldn’t teach their children. Unu alaputa gó moó! ( you people have implicated me) Ada’s mom cried.
Mama, you are crying because of what people will say. Look at my head, see what Chima your son did to my head. He hit wood on my head and you didn’t see blood gushing down? Look at Ada’s cloth, Chima nearly nakéd her. Her elder sister for that matter and you are here telling us we disgraced you. They should point their finger at you because you failed! What type of mother accommodates different girls her sons bring home every Christmas? Only your type! Somto the eldest bitterly said and walked away.
Mama, are you happy now with what just happened? Two days to the new year this is how we are about crossing over. Ada calmly said and followed Somto.
It would have been better if all of you didn’t come back for this Christmas. What use are you people to me? Nothing! Is just to disgrace me. Ada’s Mom said when everyone has gone.
Fidelia, you see what you are causing in this compound you will surely see your ear with your eye. Ada’s father said to his wife.
Uzo, I thought you said you wanted to flex Ada today and ask her out. How come you called me out for a drink? Emmy asked Uzo.
I’m no more interested. I’ve decided to let Umuoma ladies be. When I get to the city I will look for a wife. Uzo said.
All the best bro. You know what is good for you and I will always support you but do fast we will be getting married next year. Emmy said.
It’s a lie!!!! Don’t tell me you are settling down soon. Uzo excitedly asks Emmy.
Mehn, you see that Chinelo of a girl, she is everything I want in a woman. I never believed in love at first sight until it happened to me. I can’t wait to make her my wife. Emmy sounded like someone deeply in love.
I’m so happy for you brother. Does she have any younger or elder sister? Uzo asked.
