CHAPTER 50

everything had gone as planned, even my brother was happy and he bought a lot of gift for my wife and the baby. he was overwhelmed he even made a joke on how the baby look much like him . he was the one who gave this young man his name Morgan . all I could do was laugh but inside me,I was been eaten up. I knew I did wrong, I had betrayed my brother and my mother but I couldn't help it,my wife made see what I was to gain if my brother was to leave this world without an heir to take over. so I had to put up this devilish plan we had incubated and hatched.

three years passed , nothing had changed, my brother hasn't had a child to call his own,neither have I. unbelievable as it sounds, my wife took care of Morgan as if he was her biological son. she would nuture and even chastise him with more love than even me I least expected considering her personality. but when the boy reached the age of four strange things began to happen. first of all he fell very sick,and was rushed to the hospital. all the medicine given to him had little effect on him, he had high fever and couldn't stop groaning. I was scared to loss him cause I had fallen in love with this kid. the doctors did all they could but the fever never subsided. but something strange happened when my brother came to visit. the moment he stepped in, the kid screamed "UNCLE " and smiled. my brother sat by his bedside and smiled while holding his palm in his. instantly the high fever which had defiled medical treatment started going down at a fast rate like magic. I knew it was a sign that I had fallen far but I couldn't pull out now cause I was in it deep. after the hospital event, the kid was discharged but more strange things continued to happen. I started having nightmares in successions, many of the nightmare were of the boy chasing me With a gun and many was my mother crying while sitting by her graveside. I once dreamt of me wrestling with my brother when Morgan came out with a gun and shot me.

********TWO YEARS LATER *********

my brother's wife had given birth to a baby girl. they were leaving happily but I was not. even though my account balance was getting fat over time but I still never had peace. after few years I started regretting what I had done and want to review everything to my brother my wife kicked against it.but I wasn't letting her talk me out of myself redemption. so we quarreled over this but I wasn't ready to back down.

later that day I called my brother and told him to come over to my place after work. he said he would come the next day after the day's work I asked why not today but he said his car was faulty and he would pick it up tomorrow after work then come see me afterwards. I was okay with with the idea that the secret had lasted for seven years so it could last a day longer. but that meeting with my brother never took place as my brother met his end the next day in a ghastly motor accident.

he stopped as tears were now flowing freely from his eyes. Morgan held his hand to console him.

after few seconds of let the tears drop freely, he stopped then looked at my mom. our wife, I wish you would find it in your heart to forgive all the wrong done to you. I never meant for any of these things to happen. I let myself be deceived and God is punishing me for my wrong doings. I lot my daughter, I lot my wife and still I have been disgraced out of office. everything I had ever achieved had hit the rocks. all I have is all this big houses which I live in without peace. please forgive me so I can live the rest of my life and die when my time comes in peace.

all this years, I had lived my life in needs and wants my mom said with tears in her eyes. all because I was lead to believe that my husband had no male child. what a wicked world. Eduardo why. you were the apple of your brother's eyes. he loved you and from what I know he had never denied you anything. why, why did you let your heart become the workshop of the devil.

she was my cousin and because of me she is died I said to no one in particular. everyone turned and was staring at me as if I was in sane. I could have prevented this,I could have stopped this before it happened. no! no!! I screamed. everyone was still staring at me. I can't stay here any longer.

I got up with my handbag and ran off.all the effort to stop me by my mom and others fall on deaf ears as I ran into the compound and off the gate. I kept running with stopping or looking back till I ran into a busy road and was about to cross when I felt a sharp hit by my side. I fall and blacked out immediately.

Mtbail:
Following bumpa-to-bumpa. I'm@ cross bridge waiting patiently for next update

CHAPTER 49

I couldn't believe what I was hearing , how can that be? I asked no one in particular. I stare into my mom's face and hit a blank ping back she was as lot as I was, the worst of it all was Sarah, she had dated morgan for some time now yet never knew who he truely is or his true root. but looking at morgan, he faced down, I guess he already knew. if so when did he know, for how long, does he have any idea that I was his stepsister.

29 years ago, i was already in the village for a village meeting when my brother came back for the same meeting in a very sad and moody state. I tried to find out what was wrong, though he didn't tell me in details he only told he had a little misunderstanding with his wife. he cough extensively, Sarah got up rushed to the kitchen and got a glass of water . with the help of morgan the man drank from the water.

thank you my dear, the man said after drinking and clearing his windpipe. throughout the meeting, my brother couldn't speak much. what ever the problem was, it was heavy enough to put him in a bad shape. after the meeting and refreshment was served, he drank heavier than I have ever seen him do before. he drank so much that I had to drive him home. he refuse to go home and wanted to go to a bar and have more drink. after much persuasion and he still refuse I gave up and followed him to the bar. there we drank till we couldn't move. we deceided to fool around. we paid a guy who went to God knows where and picked girls for us and took them into our hotel rooms.

in the morning, my brother was frieous when he woke up and saw the girl sleeping by his side. he even threatened to beat her up if she doesn't leave at once. my brother was so ferious that I could hear his voice from my room which was actually opposite his. I rushed to the room to me the little girl crying . I consoled her a bit took are to my room were she and her friend dressed up I paid them handsomely and told never to try in any form to contact us. my brother was mad at me,he blamed me for allowing him come to the bar in the first place. but the did have been done.


*******TWO MONTHS LATER ******

everything went back to normal until the real trouble came calling I was resting in my house when my phone rang. I picked, I heard a female voice on the other side. she told me that she was at my gate. that I should come outside. I was worried so I hurried down to see a girl who her face looked familiar. I knew we had,cross path before but I didn't know where and how. I asked her who she was . she burst into tears .
Girl: sir my name is Susan, and am 5 weeks pregnant for your brother.
Me: excuse me. what did you say.
Susan: I was the girl your brother slept with at Zealand hotel. now am pregnant for him.
Uncle: what!! oh my God. wait a minute.

I brought the girl inside then I called my wife to hear cause what I heard was too much for my ears to hear alone. I explained to her how my brother met Susan and now she pregnant. at the mention of pregnancy, my wife contance changed when she heard the word. quickly she dragged me into our bedroom.

WIFE: when would you be wise.
UNCLE : how do you mean?
WIFE: all your life, your brother have always look down on you and cheated you all your life. why can't you see that his childless is your advantage.
ME: ha!! why would you say such a thing.
WIFE: be wise for once, if anything should happen today. to your brother, who takes over everything he owns.
UNCLE : by tradition, it should be me since he had no male child.
WIFE: since you know, why are you so interested in make him have a child.
I exhaled. what should we do now that this girl is pregnant.
WIFE: we have to get the girl to abort it without your brother knowing
UNCLE: God forbid!!!! ....
WIFE: what is God forbid
UNCLE : I can't be a party to that wickedness. haaa!! ....
WIFE: what should we do then your brother must not know about the baby.

I looked down and thought a little. then I exhaled again. I was a firm and strong willed man but when it come to resisting my wife demands I was pretty weak.
UNCLE : what if we adopt the baby.
WIFE: adopt the baby how. you can't be serious.
UNCLE : is better than me killing my own blood.
WIFE: how can we adopt the baby without rising question and suspection.
UNCLE : we can sweet talk this girl into giving birth to this baby under our care and supervision. afterwards we can pay her off.
WIFE: will that work?
UNCLE: it will and before then we car fake your pregnancy from now till she put to birth .

we agreed on the perfect evil plan we had hatched. I sweet talk the girl with what happened to her at the hotel after her ordeal with my brother. and it took a little pressure for her to succumb to our plan. finally, we set everything in motion and my wife started faking pregnancy immediately.

7 months later I arranged for my wife to travel to USA with the girl in pretence that she was to give. no one was aware that both her pregnancy and putting to birth was faked. two months after they traveled, my wife came back with the baby but unfortunately the girl didn't make or so I was told. she died shortly after giving birth.

CHAPTER 48

my brother was my Best friend, we practically share everything together. we were like bread and butter, fork and knife, we have been through the Good times and hard times together, .

we were still kids when our father fall from a palm tree and died few days letter living us with a mother who was bed ridden as a result of stroke, we fought through the challenges as we did everything ranging from serving mansion to working on other peoples farm and any other thing that can put food on the table and spare US a little money to take care of our sick mom .

about a Year later after the death of our father, our mother sickness grew worse and eventually she died but before she died, she called us to her bedside and wept a few moment then looked at us and said


*********MAMA SPEECH *******

my children, am proud of you, today I weep not because you failed but because I failed to be a mother, I failed to act as a mother,I failed because I might not be around to norture and lead you through the right path, I failed because I might not be able to watch you boys grow into a fine young men you would become someday. I might not be able to watch you get married and have your own kids. so children forgive your poor sick mother, I never wished for such things for my boys, when you boys were brought to me, it was the happiest day of our life, your father even though we had nothing threw a small lavish party with many Palm wind and Bush meat he caught. so you see my children, we had great plans for you boy but ill luck stroke, I fail sick,and unfortunately your father passed away but my children hold on, when life get hard and unbearable, I want you to find comfort on the shoulders of each other , I might not be around for long but have faith in each other if you stick together, there is nothing you cannot conquer. my children what am saying is never let anything come between you be it money, land and most expectially women. the day you start listening to an evil words from a woman, that day you have forfeited your life and starting that day, you life would be disarranged leaving it worthless and wasted.

my children even if I leave this world today, be rest assured that my spirit would always be with you to guide and protect you. and my prayer is that you Will never fail your children the way we failed, you would live a strong and healthy life to watch them grow into adults,get married someday, and bear their own kids.

thank you my children, for standing for your sick mother, thank you for.........she burst into tears.

those were mother's last speech before she dead two days later in her sleep. we stick to those words, my elder brother became my father, brother and best friend. life became hard and unbearable, no one wanted to help, in fact people started to despise us avoiding communication with us as if we were lepers. even at that, we supported and encouraged each other while hoping for better days to come.after many months nothing changed, my brother made a decision to go learn capitery and urged me to go back to school.

I went back to school while my brother worked and learnt capitary from a kind old man.from there he was able to make and save money from little repires which he used to finance my education. after about six months, he became perfect in making stools, benches and tables but he kept staying with the man even when the man advice him to go start up his. . after about a year , the old man became older, weak and sick, he couldn't continue,he called my brother, blessed, gave him the shop then retaired and went back to Ngwuta his village.

my brother started working in the shop as the owner, that was around the same time I got admission to study architecture. he supported me all the way. his business started growing as he became known in the neighborhood by market women and men. gradually he diverted into furniture making. he was getting grounds everyday, more customers everyday then one day our family story changed. the government built a modern school in the community and my brother received the contract worth 10 million to build and supply 200 pieces of chairs tables and school desk. that was how my family left poverty. I graduated and with still the help of my brother I rented a small space which I used as my office then. it started going well for us. we became even closer to each other,we lived together, ate together, go to the tennis and golf club together. we reveal our secrets to each other and kept each other secrets.

after about two years, my brother came to me that he had found a woman and he wanted to marry her. I was happy for him and supported him all the way . after a few months, he married this woman(pointing at my mom) that marriage brought so much joy to us cause our family just got bigger. my brother and his wife were love birds, they played on the dinner table with food even with me present. I would laugh and tease them and they would in turn tont me to wait till I start using walking stick before I get married. we were one big happy family no one eat without seeing the other it got to a point that even when I found an apartment and wanted to leave, my brother and his wife practically begged me to wait at least till I get married. I still moved out but couldn't remember how many times I slept in my apartment in a month.

after about five years after their marriage I moved out and got married. and that became the begining of the end for me. the woman brainwashed me,changed my life and destroyed everything around me

with the assistance of who my eyes were fixed on all this while and the Lady beside him he adjusted himself,faced down and exhaled. when he looked up to continue, his eyes were red and one could notice the traces of tears around them.

I failed and disappointed my mother because I started listening to the bad advise my wife started giving. she started making feel cheated on by my brother. the love I shared with my brother started demilishing and gradually my brother started becoming biggest enemy.


As at then my brother had a problem, he have been married for good nine years without a single heir.even though I not all that in good terms with him, I was still worried for him.so I met with some of our family elders and with their support we pressured him to take another wife which he never did. so I started plotting a way to get him in tangle with another woman. this meeting today is because of that which was Done 29 years ago.

all this while, my brain was running fast, trying to process large amount of files at the same time. trying to produce answers to different questions at the same time. what is the person in the picture connection with this my so called family members, why is the young man who I have been staring at for Long here, what business does he have here, what transpired 29 years ago and so many other question.

my head was on fire, all the questions in my head was like puzzle and the worst case scenero was that I couldn't solve them at least not right away cause there are gaps in the questions that needed to be filled. no Matter how hard I thought I couldn't complete and solve the puzzle .

our wife, am sorry you have to hear this now. this young man here MORGAN here is your husband's biological son.

SARAH / ME/MOM: (in unionism) what!!!

CHAPTER 47

THE PREVIOUS DAY

we arrived at the park and sort after the bus heading to our route, as luck might have it we found a bus which happens to be the last bus for those traveling in the morning. it was remaining only two sits, one at the back and another by the door. my mom paid the necessary fares and we boarded it with my mom sitting at the back and me sitting by the door. we stayed for a long time even after the bus was full. passengers were shouting at the driver who was busy arguing with some agbero men over some amount of money. after several hours he finally entered the driver's sit and moved the bus. we had barely moved for 10 minutes when my phone started beeping. I looked into the screen and saw the name my sister on the screen which was the name I used in saving Sarah number.

ME: hello dear
SARAH: ( forming angry) hello dear? really hello dear. I called you this morning only for you to hang up on me and never even bother to called back.
ME: am really sorry. mom made me do it. so believe me if I hadn't hang up, she might have even beaten me up.

I heard her laughing at the other side

SARAH: mom's girl. where are you? is noisy over there.
ME: am heading to that place I told you about.
SARAH: really? my dear is a good thing. no matter what happened in the past ,just remember it is your root, they are your family and whether you like it or not in the nearest future you would need them.
ME: (I exhaled) let's just see how it all goes down today. by the way have been able to talk to morgan. and find out what is happening with him.
SARAH: Jenny am tired, he grew worse this morning. his acting strange and is often absent minded.
ME: ever since that meeting with his father has he ever acted cold towards you.
SARAH: no but he have been more angry and snap at everyone at the slightest mistake.
ME: has he snapped at you,
SARAH: yeah but he apologised almost immediately. why do you ask.
ME: I don't think their meeting has anything to do with you.
SARAH: how do you know or are you now a seer. she laughed.
ME: OK look at it this way, morgan love's you, that much i know, so do think he would tell his dad about what transpired between us and oserewenda at this early Bud of your relationship knowing that it could destroy it all. I don't think he is that foolish, so apart from that I don't see the reason his dad would have to hate you.
SARAH: OK, but am scared, I don't want to loss him
ME: relax he would come around, just keep a cool head cause I know you, because of your temperament ,you can destroy it all. just don't hurt that guy

SARAH: (she laughed into the phone), I really missed this, I missed you sister and when you get back, we have many things we need to caught up on.

OK I need to go see you when I get back. I said then I hanged up.

I looked out the window discovered that we were in Aba abia state, the road was really busy, hucker with different wares were bumping against moving vehicles trying to sale their wares. I felt a sharp pain in my stomach and discover that I was yet to have my breakfast. so I bought four packs of gala sausage rolls with two pet bottle malt. I stretched and gave mom two gala and one of the malt then I settled to enjoy my. I was just having my snacks not bothering about what await ahead, then I brought out my headset and started playing a slow music from my phone.

after about 2 hours the bus finally came to a stop at junction they call naze junction, and we alighted from the bus, and I followed my mom walking behind her as we crossed the road, on the other side my mom flagged down a keke nape and we boarded it, the keke was playing fancy's song from his latest album scar

I paid less attention to the song but only let the voice flow through me. I was so loSt that I didn't know that tears have started rolling down my face, I was only brought back to my senses when I felt a warm liquid on the back of my Palm. fastly I wiped my eyes with my thumb and pointer finger before anyone would notice the mess am making of myself .

when we got to a particular area, it was as if it was a different road from the one we were on for some minutes now. cause the road was splited into double lanes and tarred with street lights at both sides of the road. there is no hiding the fact that an important personality lives somewhere around here. after few more seconds we stop and Started walking . we walked till we got to mansion with giant gate.

aren't we there yet, I asked. over there mom replied pointing at that mansion. that used to be our compound but it have been occupied and built on by your uncle who was the former local government chairman of this place.

at the sight of the gate, I started to feel strange, I felt like to stop, turn around and run away without looking back. but I guess since I was here I would see it all.

gradually, we got to the gate, mom pressed the intercom on the side of the gate. after some few seconds, we heard someone speak through the intercom English with an Hausa accent. "kai na who I be" "Mrs appolonia okeke looking for Mr Eduardo Okeke" my mom replied
" I dey look am for my oga, I get affointement,cause if I no hole am for my affointment card, whalai I no go open am for this gate I dey hear ram kwoo.

I couldn't but laugh at the the gateman, "my friend Will you stop that nonsense and run up and tell Eduardo that am here" my mom shouted at the man through the intercom. "Kai madam whalai I no be am for houseboy way I go they shout for me. me kwoo na C.S.O general for this office, so I no go Coom here I go come set shout anyhow . the gate man

it was funny, the drama going on,but I know my mom was really pissed. what type of nonsense is this my mom said while looking for her phone in her handbag. she was still searching for it when we had a deep voice. "Wasuf what is going on there, and who are those outside the gate". the voice asked. uga!! naa one woma ,I call am for my name affolonia, na him i say I dey find am for uga. he replied . Appolonia he said, let her in immediately.

he opened the gate and we walked in .I was marveled on the sight before me. I never believed any of my family members was this Rich yet I lived so many years in abject poverty where my mom had to toil and suffer to see me through my ups and down, I looked around everywhere looked like Paradise that one do see in Bible films and books. the compound looked so beautiful but looking around was not why I was here so I had to control myself and walked quickly behind mom as we were escorted into the living room by a housekeeper who came to welcome us.

I walked quietly but magestically and counting my steps and carrying myself like a princess.

walking into the living room, many elderly men were already sited. I greet you my husbands my mom said bending her knee a little bit, then she turned and looked at me expecting me to at least greet them but my eyes were ease where on a particular picture of a Lady hanged on the wall. the Lady in the pix looked excessively familiar, I could swear it was her,I mean how could I forget that face all we have been through but since I wasn't sure I kept my cool even though I was worried to my bones. my mom touched me I immediately came back and greeted them bending my knees too. then the unexpected happened. a sick older age man came in help by who I never expected to see. there and then my fear was confirmed

CHAPTER 46


gradually i opened my eyes everywhere was still dark to me. my whole body was on fire cause of the pain i feel all over. my head had a serious bandage around it and it hurt like hell.
someone was holding and caressing my left palm in his. i gently turn to met the face and sparkling eyes of a handsome guy staring at me.
who are you, i queried weakly . he looked at me strangely. where are am i. i tired to get up but the sharp pain made groaned instantly. no don't do that, he said. trying to hold me down. i gently flew his hands away. where are am i,what is happened to me? why do I feel pains all over. you are in a hospital he said. hospital? hospital? what am i doing in a hospital, how did i get here? my dear cool it down. he said. what happened to me.

he exhaled. you were hit by a hit and run car but thank God a good samaritian brought you in. who are you. i asked again .. really?jenifer you want to start that now,right here .he said a little pissed. so my name is Jenifer sorry if you get offended .is just that i don't remember anything apart from one name oserewenda. who is that?
he was about to speak when the door flew open and a damsel dressed like in white rope I guess she was the doctor walked in

DOCTOR: mr francies i thought you left.
FANCY: no i couldn't ( he said looking at me lying down)
she smiled and looked towards me
DOCTOR: oh my dear you are awake
ME: MY head is on fire.
DOCTOR: mr francies who do you say you were to her again.
FANCY: am a friend
DOCTOR: (she exhaled) have you been able to contact any of her immidate family?
FANCY: i dont know her immidate family but i have reached out to a friend who knows. they would be here any minute.
ME: (groaned) doctor how did i get here
FANCY: she cant remember a thing.
DOCTOR: (exhaled) thank God. it could have been worst.
FANCY: what do you mean
DOCTOR: when she had the accident and fall down she landed with her head heavyly on the ground which caused serious brain damage. at first i thought she might run the risk of going in sane but thank Gos it just amnesia.
FANCY: would she ever recover her memory again.
DOCTOR: i think she might but i dont think is any time soon but her best chance is with the people who loved and care deeply for her so is best you get her family here.
ME: can you guys stop ignoring me.
DOCTOR: my dear what do you remember
ME: i dont remember anything. only oserewenda.
DOCTOR: (to fancy) who is oserewenda
FANCY: ( looked down) she was someone she had a fall out.
DOCTOR: that person must have a strong effect on her for to remember only her as her strongest memory she couldn't lose. where is the lady in question.
FANCY: the fall out lead to the death of the lady.
DOCTOR /ME: (in unionisn) what !!
DOCTOR: what do you mean
FANCY: is a long story

just then the door flew open and a young lady raced in followed by a woman who can be said to be an older version of me and a young man behind them. the woman had tears in her eyes. oh my Go! am finished oooo!! . nkem efuola!!! doctor what happen to my baby.
DOCTOR: i presume you are her mother
MOM: yes iam.how is she? what happened to her? would she be alright? eehh!!! am finished ooh!!!
DOCTOR: she was brought here unconscious and was reported to have been hit by a car.though her injury was serious but by the grace of God she would be find.

my mom walked up to me and sat by my bedside crying.
mummy how are you? she asked with tears rolling down her face. when i looked at her face i saw pure love in her eyes and even if i don't remember her anymore i knew somewhere within me that i meant the world to her. i felt the urge to ignore the pain i felt all over my body and just hug her as if my life depends on it. but since i couldn't cause of all the pain, the best i could do was at least make her worry herself less .

gradually i moved my hand and placed it on hers this caught her attension she looked down to my face, then I notice tears was now flowing flequently down her face.

ME: dont cry!! am going to be fine and well again soon so don't worry.
MOM: (used the back of her palm to wipe her tears)your friend here sarah told me everything that transpired between you and oserewenda
DOCTOR: madam you might have to turn it down a notch. she has amnesia so she don't remember a thing about her past life.
MOM/SARAH: (in unionism) what?
MOM: am finished. the goats have eaten the palm leaves off my head. oh my God !! my enemies would laugh at me.
DOCTOR: is ok. she might still recover her again. all she needs is love and care through this her trying times. with that she would get through.

mom looked at me. why did you run off? what happen wasnt your fault, you never asked for such complicated relationship, if there is someone to blame, i am, for keeping you away from your root all this years, i did wrong. i let my anger cloud my reasoning. if you knew your family before now perhaps things wouldn't have gotten this bad and perhaps things wouldn't have gone south . am sorry i failed in my duty as a mother to you. please forgive me.

i was just lying down, staring at her and listening to those preicing words drop from her mouth without having a clue of what she was saying but her deep words got to me.

ME: are talking about oserewenda. they say she died because of me.
MOM: no don't say that. her death wasnt your fault
ME: do you know what happened. please tell me all, dont leave anything out.
DOCTOR: my dear i don't think is a good idea. it might lead to more physcological break down.
MOM: mummy just let it be for now .
ME: no i want to hear it. am fine really i can handle it.

my mom turned and looked at fancy then ask me who is he? . his name is francies, he is the young man at the center of it all .the young lady who came with her spoke for the first time since they walked in.
ME: center of what all?
MOM: (got up from the bed) wait are the fancy that has cause so much trouble in my family. what are you doing here,haven't you done enough,
she made to charge at him but was stop by the young man that walked in with them.
she started crying, look at my baby, she is like this because she meet you, is Ok the young man said again. don't this here at least not in front of her (pointing at me) .
ME: can someone explain what is going on here . how did Francis play a role in my current predicament

THE YOUNG MAN: my dear is a long story, when the time is right you would get to know all that happenbed
ME: no I want to hear it now.
SARAH : are you sure you can handle it,it really complicated.
ME: let me just hear it right now.

sarah sat on the other side of my bed then took my Palm in hers as she prepare to tell me what I longed to hear.


SARAH: when I first meet you at the bank where we went to pay our school fees, everyone including me was rushing and trying to pay their fees first, I turned back and saw you sitting at the Conner of the bank quietly while staring at us. at first I paid less attention to you but after I paid for my fees and was about to leave

i woke very early cause i couldnt sleep much. today i see the other part of my family for the first time in many years. i didnt know how to feel. i wasnt happy neither was i sad. well come to think of it,this was the same family that rejected and cast me out all because of their greed and selfishness so dont blame me when i say i had mixed feelings. i was a bit confused and dare need of pieces of advice. so i picked my phone and placed a call to my only friend sarah.

SARAH: (picked after the first beep) lady beauty i thought you have totally forgot about me
ME: (laughing) is that even possible
SARAH: i dont know you tell me
ME: deary it not possible for a man to run with blindfolds. you are a part of me that i can never forget.

go away!! sarah said in a small wishpers voice but my guess was that it was for someone in the room.

ME: where are you, and who is there with you.
SARAH: first dont be mad at me for not telling you before going . i travelled with morgan to his village to see his people.
ME: really? how are they, did they know what went down between us and their late daughter, how did they react to it.
SARAH: woo! slow down girl one question at a time. first morgan said i should keep quiet about that matter. that he will tell them on his own time and on his own terms. but baby am scard.
ME: why? did anything happen.
SARAH: nothing have happened so far
ME: is morgan with you there
SARAH: no he left the room.
ME: so tell why are you scard
SARAH: yeasterday when morgan first introduced me to his father, he was happy to see me. but after we settle down,bath,had a change of cloths and eat he called morgan to his room and they had a very lengthy talk. ever since then morgan have been behaving strange. i didnt know what they discuss but it was powerful enough to change his mood and got him thinking
ME: have you tried talking to him in order to know what the problem is.
SARAH: i have tried to get him to talk to me, but he couldnt let me in. i tried but he completely shut me out.

i heard a knock on my door and my mom called from the other side of the door. come in i said. my mom then opened the door and walked in fully dressed but was surprise to see me still in my sleeping wear lying down.
instantly i ended the call and jumped out of bed to avoid been screamed at.
MOM: (in an angry tone) young lady, what are you still doing in bed by this time of the morning when we have somewhere important to be.
ME: am sorry ma, i woke late.just give me just 20 minutes i join you outside.

my mom just sighed and left. just like the flash i race to the bath room and came out in no time. before one could finish saying jack thompson i was fully dressed in a fine blue gucci flaw gown that reveiw all my youthful curves. and looking at the mirror while applying my usually light make up i was reassured i still got the kind of looks any guy could kill for. i later packed a few things into my blue gucci pulse which was among the gift victor gave me before i came home.

when i walked out, my mom whom i thought would be boling with anger just smiled on seeing.

MOM: mummy you look beautiful but we are just going for a vist not your traditional wedding for you to look this beautiful.

i just laughed. mom can we just go.

ME: what is it (looking curious)
MOM: after all this years,after all they did to me,
ME: (getting more confused) mom what happened i asked while taking the latter from her and started reading

***** CONTENT OF THE LETTER******

our wife, a snake seen by one man can be mistaken for a python so that is why the elderly heads of okeke family invite you to an urgent family meeting with regard to your late husband secret which we learnt about recently. as a matter of urgency the meeting is sheduled tomorow 24 oct 20**. so for the short notice but indefu to come.

OKEKE FAMILY


it all like a news to me. all my life i have lived with my mom as the only family i had and knewn .so hearing about my extended family, i didnt know how to feel.
i folded the letter neatly and gave it back to my mom. i just stared at her as she just mumured to herself. i didnt know what to say cos i was lost of words myself,i never knew much about them only stories so i wouldnt explain how my feel.
they are just looking for another way to humilate me again. that can never ,not in this life(my mom fumed )after all this year,what secret,who do they take me for. a child,talking to no one in particular.mom it okay. let it be for now please.

she looked at me,hissed and instantly kept mute.just then a guy and a lady walked in holding hands and laughing my guess is that they were lovers .and they looked happy. my mom left to attened to them.but i couldnt take my eye off them as they smile and touch each other. if love can bring this kind of joy why is my different. right from the time i fall in love its being from one problem to another. i became lost in thought as people started trooping in out of the shop. i lost the track of time as i gradually dose off to sleep.
i felt a tap on my shoulder.mummy wake up. i forced my eyes open even duo i still felt sleeply. i joined my mom as i help her lock up her shop and we boarded a bike home.

at home everything had changed. our once shabby house has recive renovational touches. the roof have been changed from the old zine sheet i used to know to an alumuim sheet. it had been painted what thrilled me the most was my room. everything had been changed and pink which was my favourite colour was used as the paint. i was thrilled,how come about all this,my mom new found finacial status in just 11months i was away. i guess with time she would tell me everything. so immdiately i got home,i got rid of my cloths and took the most refreshing bath the world had never had. i later came out where mom brought out a light dinner of fried plantain,egg and a cup of creamy tea. i was not hugery so i just played with the food whiling away time hoping my mom would open up a disscusion cause there was so many thing i need to know. but she never did. she just kept to herself i guess that letter she received puted her in a bad mood. after the meal she just got up and bid me goodnite and left to her room. i cleaned up the table and retaired to my room.

i was barely asleep when i heard a knock.the my mom walked in and sat at the side of my bed.

MOM: mummy get up i need to talk to you. my dear, left for me, i would have never gone to to your father people for anything even if my life depend on it. but it is selfish and ur father would never forgive me if i deny you your root. so tomorrow i would take you to your family.
i thanked and hugged her as she smile kiss my forehead and bid goodnight before she left.
when she left i started thinking of how member of my extented family would look like,wheter i had cousin my age and many other thing corncernig them. i just thought and thouht till sleep kidnap me.

CHAPTER 43


once again i felt like a rat in a cage not knowing the way out. i tried to open my mouth but bubbles of air blocked my wind pipe. all i did was look down to my designer shoes victor bought for me as a walcom back present as if the answer to the girl's question was there.
i was in a trans for some minute untill mom brought me back.

MOM: chinaza( my igbo name which she calls me when she is upset or in a bad mood) what is she talking about
ME: i dont know ma(almost murmuring while fighting the air bubble in my speech pipe)
GIRL: really? are you sure you are not the one? ( searching for something on her phone. my guess a picture).

what is the deal with this girl, i thought to myself, cant she just buy whatever it is she wanted and leave my poor life alone.
ME: i think you are mistaking me for another( i lied)
GIRL: ok maybe, just that you look very much like her see(showing me a picture on her phone which was a picture people took of me with fancy in the class room laughing)
MOM: my duaghter let me see

there and then i knew my secret was out. i couldnt look my mom in the face and ly i have never done b4 and if i try now i might just flouter.
mom look at the picture for some seconds then towards me with a stright face, you lady tell me what happen the eleven month you didnt come home or called.
i became silent,i knew i couldnt ly effectively again,tears have aready gethered round my eye and any attempt to speak might lead to an outburst
is it not you am talking to young lady my mom said almost screaming but as soon as i tried to open my mouth i busrted into tear.
MOM: (after letting me sob for few seconds) will stop this nonsesen and get your self togther. you are a teenager no more so stop mess yourself up in public.

my mom look up and noticed the girl was still standing there.
MOM: can i help with any other thing
GIRL: no ma(now taking her leave)

after the girl lift my mom sat down beside me staring at me. after sometime she used the edge of her wrappers to dry the tears from my face. i was ready to tell her everything but as soon as i tried to open my mouth to talk she placed a finger on my lip. sshhii !! calm your navs ,just drink you malt,we have a lot to discuss and it cant be done here. beside duo you are all grown but you havent changed much you are stii the cry cry baby so i dont want another outburst. we laughed with traces of tears still in my eye.

we were stiil laughing when a mail man walked up to us and ask of mrs appolonia okeke. my mom recieved the latter and open it shortly after the man left
"never" she screamed. "over my dead body".
