Like seriously you're right.
Imagine the man said Mikel haven't called him for the past five years

CowHard:
My friend visited me a week later to inform that his sister's husband has accepted to take her back after the family completed the fasting and prayer.
We rejoiced and he disclosed to me the plans put in place to formerly 'cleanse' her sister and get her back to her husband's house.
The day of the occasion came and we were handed the job of buying the palm wine drink for the occasion.
So I left, together with Mkpokoro to the palm wine market.
"Come and check this one" said a man on slippers made of Engine fan belt as he used his left hand to chase flies from the gallon.
I made to price the palm wine only to see some men 'drinking' from the same gallon in turn.
We later bought after much hesitation as a result of the 'testing' method.
Back home, we were again given the duty of killing the goat that has been tied to a tree.

The goat on sighting our sharpened knife and probably sensing danger began to bleat on top of it's voice. The bleating and indirect plea touched me and I said to my friend.
"Guy I'm no longer interested in sniffing life out of this goat. The blood of this innocent goat shall not be on my head"
Mkpokoro with a hardened heart like the Egyptian Pharaoh replied "let its blood, intestines, head and laps be on my head and stomach" The goat's plea and bleating fell on deaf ears as my friend slit the throat without remorse. The next thing I saw was the goat shining its dirty teeth on fire.
At the backyard were women cooking and testing the soup endlessly.
Soon the foods and meat were ready and everyone served. The kindred were seated at the front yard together with the in-laws.

After the traditional rites were observed, the in-laws made to leave with their unofficial new wife. Mkpokoro's sister emerged from the backyard looking remorseful and embraced her equally unofficial husband.
Her mother came forward, shedding tears and grabbed her daughter as she knelt down.
"You're no longer a divorcé woman. The rest of my daughter will learn from this; I wish your father was alive to save us from this embarrassment" her mother said amidst tears from mother and daughter under the public watch.
Tears started rolling down the eyes of onlookers. The husband came forward, embraced his wife and said " I've forgiven you, come and take care of your home".
She then bid farewell to everyone and left with her in-laws as her family and well wishers sobbed.
