Mama's wailing woke me up the next morning,i groaned and sat up on the bed.
What was it again....i wondered as I yawned and performed my usual routine of press_ups.I was trying to build up my biceps and maintain my six packs which i knew ladies loved in a guy.
By the time i had put on a fresh trouser and stepped out of my room mama's wailing had decreased to a sob.
She was in the parlour,nursing her facial injuries.
Her face was swollen and her left eye had a purplish hue,she also had a runing nose.
"mama what ..ha..happened?" i stuttered as i sat on the cushion beside her.
"your father wants to kill me"
"tufia"i spat out, "he can't do that"
she sighed helplessy,shaking her head bitterly.
I felt for her deeply,i had these unresisting urge to give papa the beating of his life for laying his hands on mama.
The man was a beast in human form.
"what caused it?" i asked just as sabina left the parlour with the bowl of sterilized warm water that had been applied on mama's face.
Mama took her time,she adjusted the eagle patterned wrapper and blew her nose into the edge of the wrapper.
"ogechi told me about your sister so I raised the issue this morning and your father pounced on me,he said nothing will make him allow chioma into his house,that she had bitten the fingers that fed her,i tried to explain to him that chioma never knew what she was doing but he turned deaf ears and used his fists on me when i persisted"
she replied.
I sighed and placed my right arm around her small frame.
"ma dont worry it will be fine,i will talk to him,i think it is now time he knows that am now a man and not a boy again,if he dares lay his hand ön you again i swear i will castrate him" I threatened,flexing my biceps.
Mama shuddered "dont speak so my son,he is your father" she remarked quietly.
And so?
I think it is high time i prove to him that the strength of an old man and a young man can't be compared.

But that Chioma, Emeka's brother, needs to be spanked very well. Emeka should be careful so his biceps doesn't plunge him into deep trouble.

Papa was a controversial human being, it remained a surprise to me that he was appointed Elder in our congregration,he didnt befit such an honourable post.
Growing Up,my elder sisters had told me I was lucky that papa had cool down.They said before i was born he never gave them breathing space,whatever they did was displeasing in his eyes.He had turned down the level of his always blazing temper when mama had given birth to me_the first and only Son.
It was an enviromental saturday so i got engaged in weeding the compound premises,after that i cleaned my room,the last time i had done that was the day Chioma visited_i winced as i remembered my efforts to impress her,if someone had told me she was a player then i swear i would have beaten the person black and blue.
-love makes Us do foolish things at times.
~~~~I left the compound around Ten'oclock after a light breakfast of custard and akara,the street was yet to be busy as it was just few minutes after Environmental.I got to the shop,unlocked the protector door and was about to start sweeping when a young girl approached me with a timid smile on her face,I blinked twice,her face looked familiar.
"good morning"she greeted as she came to a halt in front of my shop,I noticed her gap_tooth immediately and her ears were devoid of earrings..her face was smooth and oval,she wasnt on make up.
"morning,how are you?" i asked,still trying to remember were we had met.
"am fine,am the girl you broke her eggs some weeks ago"
"okay...nne what is your name?"
"chetachi,we are neighbours now,my mom is the woman who moved into the next shop beside you yesterday"
"oo i see" I mumbled just as I noticed chioma walking towards my shop,my heart did a maddening dance.
I really love her and I fidgetted as her eyes darted from chetachi to me.
"Emmy Good morning"she greeted while chetachi moved to the next shop and started unlocking the doors.
I refused to reply her greetings,i simply picked the broom and continued sweeping.
"Emmy are we quarreling?"she asked as she shifted uncomfortably while i swept the floor near her.
"Emmy you dönt want to answer me"she remarked and sat down on the bench inside the shop.
I sat down on the armchiar and heaved a sigh,i didnt know how to go about with these..I felt like shaking her roughly and demand for answers,I felt like slapping her.
I swallowed and forced myself to cool down,i didnt want to End up like my father.
I knew it was improper to raise my hands on a female with or without any reason.
"Chioma who is chuka?" I asked and focused my gaze on her face.
"i don't know anybody called chuka"she swiftly replied,her cheeks reddened in Embarassment.
"you don't know anybody called chuka right?"
she shooked her head and I smiled wanly.
"what about other guys you are messing up with?"
she frozed and slowly stood up.
"me? Messing up with guys?"
"yes you,i have withness and i myself am a withness,stop that your holier_than_thou attitude!" i retorted,already feeling angry.
"Emeka you must be insane infact you dont know what you are saying"she fired back.
Something came over me suddenly,i wasn't myself again.I found myself standing up.
"i am insane right? Am going to show you how insane i am"
with these words i pounced on her,beating her this way and that while she shrieked.
I attacked her like she was my father,she screamed loudly and chetachi rushed in and pulled me away from her.
I took a deep breath just as chioma lifted her face up,it was red and her left eye was swollen.
I winced.
What had I done?

Amazing.....!!!!! You are a very gifted story teller...!
!

keep it up!!

Like father like son na.
The spirit of Anger in man goes with immorality.

"how dare you lay your hands on me? How dare you?" she said chokefully as she fought back the tears.
I swallowed and wanted to apologize but she stormed out of the shop threatening fire and brimstone.
"what you did was wrong"cheta accused as she made to leave the shop.
"i don't need your opinion,i didn't beg you in the first place to come here" i snapped angrilly.
"and if i hadnt intervened you would have killed her"she concluded and left the shop.
What had i done?
I wondered,how could i had laid my hand on chioma while only these morning i had threatened to beat the hell out of papa if he lay his hand on mama again.
Infact i was the 'kettle' calling 'pot' black.
It showed i wasn't better than my father,just as i had his height and colour it applied the same way in terms of character and temperament.
I was tempted to call her but i shrugged the idea off,it was good to appear tough to girls.
They preferred the Alpha _assertive males to the meek and quiet type. ...I came to that conclusion and started repairing the phone that had given me a tough time the other day.
~ ~ ~ ~the day had a lot of surprises for me,first;i received a call from a hidden number and the caller was a male,he threatened the sh_it out of me for beating his girlfriend.I was shocked and i wanted to ask who his girlfriend was but he disconnected the call,i was still contemplating about the issue when a red volkswagen car pulled to a halt in front of my shop.
I thought it was a new potential customer but when the passenger door opened i sat agape staring at chioma my sister.
I was speechless,I couldnt bring myself to say anything.I noticed the man who drove her was obviously a family man with a faded wedding ring.
"Nnaemeka" Chioma called out softly as they halted at the Entrance of my shop.
"good afternoon sir" i greeted as i stood up with a nonchalant look on my face.
"afternoon,please can we sit down? We came to talk to you" he retorted.
I nodded and they sat down on the bench while i lowered my bulk on the armchair.
You know What happened next......
By the time they left my shop i was confused and felt a feeling akin to pity for chioma.....
All that glitters isnt Gold,Chioma had fallen prey to a player who thought she came from a wealthy family.
He had promised her heaven and earth and she been blinded by love had gone to any extreme to show her Undying love Even to the Extent of Duping me her brother.
Hmmm...Girls!
When the money wasnt forthcoming he showed her the real side of him,she came back to her senses when he told her there was no such thing as a trip to dubia and threw her out of his house.
As for the Army man,he was not a brother but a friend

The day sped fast,before i could round off the days repairs it was dusk,chetachi had already gone home,I hummed a local song as i locked the protector door and the entrance gate_like door.
"Emekus Emekus" a voice called from behind me,i turned round,it was chuka,he was dressed in a beige coloured Tee shirt over baggy trouser.
"oga mi how far naa?"I asked as we did the customary handshake.
"Emekus i dey oo,i just they pass say make i hail you"he replied as we left my shop together.
"Chuka you no say you be man." I began as we walked slowly.
"ofcourse"
"how come you dey ~chiak~ my babe?" I asked glancing at him to see his reaction.
His brows creased in a frown.
"who be your babe kwanu?"
"chioma" i replied and mentioned the day i saw the both of them together.
"that girl? Hey you don fall my hand oo"
"wetin she do,abi she no fine?"
he doubled over in laughter.
"that girl wey everybody know for this area as public tøtø,my man you no try oo,infact if she be your babe you better jilt her before she go come meet you with pregnancy" he advised.
I shuddered and spat out.
"tufia..no wish me that kind thing abeg".
He changed the topic and we started talking about other things that had nothing to do with girls and thier constant wahala.
....
....
I got home feeling hungry and tired,i hadnt eaten anything at the shop,it was the light custard and akara that kept me to my feets all through the day.
After a cool hurried bathe i fell to the mound of cassava foofoo and egusi soup that Sabina served me.
"where is mama?" I asked in between mouthful.
"she and papa escorted elder bethel and his wife home"
"what did they come to do?"
She shifted on her feet uncomfortably,the question was an awkward one but i needed answers.
"they came to talk to papa about the way he mishandles mama" she replied at last.
I waved her off and she sauntered away,i think it was wrong for mama to involve elder Bethel in our family problem.
Come to think of it,what was in stake was our personality and papa's already wretched dignity,I knew that mama thought she had done the right thing by involving Elder Bethel but these days one should be aware of who to bring into thier family's private matter.
What if Elder Bethel's wife was among those that gossip a lot then what mama had done was simply 'washing her dirty linen in public'.
...I shuddered at the idea,it was true that JW's are faithful brethens who did things with peace and wisdom.
But what if??
I had read somewhere that 'in the midst of twelve there must be a judas'.
....
...
....
For the first time in many months papa called Us for a family meeting,He started by apologising for all his wrong doings and promised to make ammendments from henceforth,He implored that we should try to make him happy by doing what was right and that he had considered chioma notwithstanding that she had rubbed mud on his face,that chioma was free to return home.
He concluded by saying "United we stand,defind we fall" laying emphasis on Unity.
The meeting left me light_headed,i prayed things would turn out good,i had been surprised that papa had admitted all his wrong doings.
These must have to do with elder Bethel's visit...i reasoned.
