Bar Mitzvah

“Mama!” He wasn’t sure which made his body pummel the breeze that attacked: his enthusing voice? the mild wind itself? He just felt his body race at an astonishing pace, without considering the steep possibility that, he might bruise his festering knee once more.
“Mama!”
“Ehn what is it Ikunga?” The emanciated, yellow-turned-brown woman looked up from her tray of remaining white beans for the first time, since the dawn sired twilight.
“Mama I came third! You told me that if I should go higher than fourth this term, you would buy me aeroplane.” The six-year-old panted, inching his report card gleefully at his grandma.
The wrinkled woman who, to the chap’s whetted knowledge didn’t know how to read, merely set her beans aside, collected the lean boy ahead of the card and nestled his head in her breasts. She then, to the amusement of Ikunga, took the card and pretended to read things, she knew weren’t there.
“But you know that the two people before you don’t have two heads.”
“If you buy me aeroplane, I will come first next term.” He made the ‘I pledge’ sign.
“Stay here to help me chase the goats off. You hear? Ndo!" Grandma gathered the rest of herself, clambered inside the half-mud, half-air house.
As she counted the aeroplane money which, she had hidden quarter-days ago, she suddenly fell. The sound from outside must have hit her real big.
“These children. It is not christmas yet na.”
She snailed back outside to ensure Ikunga wasn’t part of the nuisance. But Ikunga wasn’t there. Just the tray and the ottoman in total peace, and the shreds of a six-year-old amongst many others, mixed in blood, and earth and pellets, and the writings: We fight for God
