EPISODE 12

It has now been over four market days since that last hair-raising episode with Osundu. He hasn’t made any other statement about his past life and Ego has been thankful to the gods that her prayers that night have been answered.
They were in the market to get things that will be needed for the upcoming chieftaincy title she was planning on taking. She was browsing the stalls for a wrapper that will be-fit a woman of her status who will soon be addressed as “Ego beke of Umudibia”. Then on the spur of the moment Osundu who has been doing a selection of his own under the trader’s table among the pieces of wrappers tightly grabbed his mother’s legs, burying his face in-between, crying out loud like one that has seen a ghost.
Everyone present was shocked at the strange behavior that the young star executed. Ego quickly bent down and carried her son, who was still crying and hiding his face with eyes shut tight. She began asking him “Nna, what is it? What can I get you? Do you want some bean cake? He didn’t reply any instead continued crying. The trader suggested she took the boy away from the place, that he was no longer comfortable. Ego acted accordingly carrying him away. Few feet away, he stopped crying; she then asked him why he was crying?
Osundu pointed at a man that was standing opposite the place, where they were previously purchasing things from, whispered into his mother’s ear saying “He is one of the people that burnt me alive”.
These words gave her horripilate, turning her skin to a goose bump city. Her legs went weak with fear; horrified at the image of people burning a human alive, wondering what Osundu did that led to such brutality. What could be so odious that would result to such punishment? The worst part of it was she could not even pin out the particular individual that her son was accusing. Even if she was able to identify the man, how can she ask someone that kind of question? On her way home that particular day, she made up her mind to pay a visit to the supposed past family, to confirm or refute Osondui’s story. She needed firsthand information on what really happened and what kind of person reincarnated as her son.

EPISODE 13

One of the benefits of being rich is that you can get almost anything done as soon as possible provided you can pay for it even with little or no information. Ego was able to locate the residence of the past parents of her son in just two days. The next day, she and some members of her guards set out to Nnewi leaving Ndubisi in charge of everything including making all business transactions.
On her way, she made few stops to visit other farmers like herself to inquire for latest information and advice, which was her way of staying ahead. She also did some philanthropic duties, giving aids to the poor and needy. All these made the journey longer making it three days before they got to the compound of Mazi Amuneke. They were giving a warm welcome suitable for a king. The woman of the house quickly drew a warm bath for Ego and her son; they were fed and given a place to rest.
That evening when the sun had gone down, she and her company were invited into the family’s Obiri where the purpose of her visit was to be made known. Everyone was seated; palm wine and kola nut has been served. Mazi Amuneke stood up; addressing Ego he said “Nne, you are highly welcome”.
Ego smiled, stood and responded “Nnayi thank you. My elders I greet you all. I consider myself fortunate to be in your presence. May the gods continue to bless and guide you”.
Everyone present echo “Ishe!”
Still addressing Ego, Mazi Amuneke continued “So to what do we own this peculiar visit?” The people began nodding in agreement while some discussed among themselves. They have been wondering what has brought a woman of such wealth and prestige to their home.
Ego stood up again and began “Nnayi, thank you once again. If you have a skin infection, you don’t wait till it is all over you body before you invite the dibia to take a look at it, you invite him immediately you start seeing the symptoms”. They all nodded, with some saying “Eziokwu!”
She continued this time addressing Mazi Amuneke“My son Osundu has been making statements indicating you were his father in his past life; that his name used to be Onwuhara. He made mention of a sister named Ndidi and a mother named Uka”. She stopped expecting some kind of reaction from the people but to her greatest surprise none was fed her. So she continued “I decided to make this trip here when he pointed at a man in the market place and said he was one the people that burnt him alive”.

EPISODE 4

“I was bathing him that particular evening and humming a lullaby to him at the same time when abruptly he said “Nda!”. I responded “Yes, Nwoke oma”. With those big eyes of his pinned on me he said “I remember that song”. After laughing to my fill, I jokily asked him from where. He then said “My elder sister Ndidi used to sing it to me whenever I was crying”. Those words sent chilling fear all over my body. “He then added that he misses her; but I didn’t allow him complete that sentence before rebuking him. He then began crying.
“It is doing the same thing to me right now as you are saying it” Ego said rubbing her palm all over her body.
“That was not even the first time; he made a statement about his past life to me”.
“So he has been talking to you; why am I hearing it for the first time?”
“I didn’t see it as anything worth mentioning to you but after observing your reaction to what he said today. I thought it was high time I told you”.
“Alright, what other thing did he say?” Ego asked.
“It was a cold night. I laid in darkness with him trying to put him to sleep. Then all of a sudden he called me “Nda Oluchukwu” to which I responded “Dim oma”. He then said “Do you know I used to have another mother. Her name was Uka”. This was the first time he was saying something of that nature to me. I thought he was bluffing. So I asked him what happened to her. He pulled closer to me, and then whispered into my ears saying “She slept beside me and never woke up”. I jumped out of the mat in fear. I think that frightened him as he began crying aloud like I had hit him. It took some time for me to muster enough courage to return back to the bed”.
"That must be scary and cold" Ego said eyes goggled with surprise and fear.
"Since we are talking about reincarnation, let me tell you a story".
Ego kept mute but nodded signaling a go ahead.

jokingly asked not "jokily asked" use sent chilling fears down my spine instead of all my body.

EPISODE 6

"Long time ago, when our grandmother Nnenne was still young, wild and beautiful. One beautiful day, she was returning from the stream, when suddenly a stranger jumped out from the bush and startled her; her clay pot fell and broke. Nnenne quick to anger didn't wait to hear from the innocent man, she landed him a dirty slap. Which she quickly regretted because you can't slap a man for any reason and walk away without him returning the favor to avoid been a laughing stock to his age mates. The young man with his palm gently romancing the affected cheek, forced the most beautiful smile Nnenne said she had seen and apologized for his wrong; promising to follow her home and explained what transpired between them to her parents.
True to his words, the stranger did exactly as he said though the journey home was a quiet and eerie one. When they got to her father's house, he apologized and was forgiven by her parents and left after bidden her goodbye. Once he was gone, her father warmed her never to go near him again as he was an Osu.
That night as Nnenne lay on her mat, she thought of all that has happened that evening and was filled with regret and remorse. Why did she slap him? He didn't deserve that slap, why was she always quick to anger. Osus are usually not kind to Dialas, why didn't he return the slap? Why was he kind to me? She wondered before making up her mind to ask for his forgiveness next she sees him.
Eight days after, Nnenne was returning from the stream when she saw him approaching from a far, holding hand with another girl about her own age. Immediately he saw her, he excused the maiden and slowly walked over wearing a beautiful smile. Nnenne said the smile made her heart skip a beat. She wasted no time in apologizing for her wrong the last time they met. He introduced himself as Nwosu and the girl as Ogadimma, his younger sister. Adding that she was the one he wanted to startle as she claimed not to be afraid of anything.
They spent so much time getting to know each other as every other thing faded in the background, their social classes disappeared into tiny air; it didn't matter whether they were from different worlds, everything seem to be perfect. After all, true love doesn't care about Osu and Diala. That was how Nnenne and Nwosu love story began; they began seeing each other in odd places at odd times, hiding from the rest of the world. They were not really good at hiding it because soon it was no longer news that they were seeing each other.

To avoid being a laughing stock to... Not "to avoid been a laughing stock to ..." Their social classes disappeared into tin air not "tiny air". favor should be favour. The prior is American English while the latter is the recognised British English. Also apologizing and apologized should be written in British English.
Her father warned her not "warmed her". She thought of all that had happened not "has happened".

EPISODE 14

She continued this time addressing Mazi Amuneke“My son Osundu has been making statements indicating you were his father in his past life; that his name used to be Onwuhara. He made mention of a sister named Ndidi and a mother named Uka”. She stopped expecting some kind of reaction from the people but to her greatest surprise none was fed her. So she continued “I decided to make this trip here when he pointed at a man in the market place and said he was one the people that burnt him alive”.
At the mention of been burnt alive Mazi Amuneke who has not uttered any word but instead buried his head thinking, raised it up and took a sharp look at her saying “So you have come to confirm whether it is truth?”
“Yes” she replied him “And to know why he was burnt alive?” she added.
Beckoning on Osundu to come, Mazi Amuneke asked “Does he have a birthmark behind his neck?
“Yes” she responded with a nod, slightly pushing Osundu over to him.
He turned Osundu over as he and the three elders examined the birthmark; moments after they all nodded in agreement after whispering to each other. Convinced, he said “He is the one. He came back. Onwuhara my son came back” and pulled him closer into a long tight hug. Then gradually he became emotional, his eyes wet with tears, he sobbed “he came back not as an Ogbanje; we succeeded. He came back not as my son like he said he would. He came back into a rich family like he said he would. I wish we could go back in time, so I can apologize for all the wrongs I did you. But I know it is now too late”. At this point the old man was basically wailing like a child; tears streaming down his cheeks uncontrollably. They all allowed him to pour out his grief.
Osundu without saying anything began tapping the old man on his back. He was still consoling him when he saw a young lady coming from the opposite direction. Swiftly he broke away from the hug and ran towards her screaming with excitement “Ndi-ka! Ndi-ka! Ndi-ka! This was the first time Osundu was setting his eyes in her. She was now married and as sure was in her husband’s house. She came this evening after been invited by her father. So far she is the only person he has been able to recognize.

Thanks boss for the update.

Good piece, filled with that kind of suspense that makes one read till the end not minding the volume. Just work on use of tenses and adjectives. Use she for female and he for male.
Ride on bro. I'm enjoying it.
