PREVIOUSLY ON A DAUGHTERโS REVENGE:
โฆapart from the sickness that got Martha hospitalized for three days, another challenge she had was the courage to face the sight of KC in the market.
In fact, it was by the grace of God Martha was able to gather the courage to start business again.
Meanwhile Kelechi has not given up on Martha. He still has hope of reconciliation.
He kept coming, seeking Marthaโs forgiveness.
THE CONTINUATION:
The rain came with violent and strong wind. Blowing away every blowable. The only thing the wind could not blow away was a human. As the wind carried away peopleโs roofs to an unknown destination.
It was on a Monday afternoon the angry wind did the damage. It all started like a joke. No one saw it coming. Because the scorching sun pelted against the earth very harshly that day. To the extent people were complaining bitterly against the hotness of the weather. It was In a twinkling of an eye that the weather changed. And before you knew it, the rain cloud had gathered upstairs.
Like play, like play, the wind came violently. It did a lot of damage. As many properties and goods were totally destroyed.
In the aftermath of the destruction, there came the heavy downpour.
Martha was busy sleeping inside of her shop. She was very lucky not to have been affected by the violent wind.
That fateful day, Martha came to shop very late. As she couldnโt wake up from the night’s rest on time. Even when she finally woke up, around 9:15am, getting up from the bed was a very big problem for her as she was very weak. It took her extra minutes to finally shrug the fatigue and sleep off her. Before managing to get herself ready for market.
Martha came to the shop very tired and weak that day. It was almost 12pm. Even at that, the fatigue couldnโt permit her to display goods outside. She just managed to open the shop, sweep everywhere, then slumped on the chair and zoomed off to sleep.
It was when the rain subsided a little that Amaka came visiting. Amaka was Marthaโs friend. A daughter to Oga Osondu. Oga Osonduโs shop was just next to Marthaโs shop. She just came back from school.
โMartha o! You have been sleeping since the morning you came to the shop, are you okay? Are you sick? Because you are sleeping too much these days. What is wrong with you?โ, Amaka asked, looking at Martha very suspiciously. โLet it not be what I am thinking. Because you seem to have added a lot of weight, Martha,โ she added, very playfully.
โWhat do you mean I am sleeping too much these days? Canโt you see the weather? By the way, when did you come back from school to have noticed all this?โ, she paused. โCome oh! Amaka, if I may ask, what are you even thinking?โ, she asked.
โMartha, for your information, I have been around for the past three days. Or is three days not enough to have noticed changes in a friend?โ, Amaka asked.
โLook, Amaka, if you donโt know what to talk, better keep quiet than talking trash,โ Martha waved off Amakaโs observations playfully. โBut wait o, what are you thinking?.โ
โNothing. Let me just mind my business,โ Amaka said.
โBetter do that,โ Martha added.
Silence prevailed for a while before Amaka finally broke the silence.
โMartha,so you are here sleeping and you donโt know whatโs happening outside,โ Amaka asked.
โWhatโs happening outside?,โMartha asked in a loss, yawning amid tiredness.
โThis very rain came with a violent wind. It has destroyed peopleโs shops and goods..โ
โWhat do you mean by that?,โ Martha asked amid confusion. She still did not understand what Amaka was saying.
โThe wind made away with peopleโs shop roofs. The rain destroyed and damaged peopleโs goods as well,โ she paused. โThe wind also carried Oga Emmaโs shop roof and dumped it at plaza F. Although they managed to salvage the situation but before that, goods worth millions of naira have been destroyed already,โ she explained,
โYou mean it?,โ Martha asked in surprise. Because she was unaware of the whole thing.
โMartha, are you telling me you were unaware of what happened?,โ Amaka asked, very surprised about the kind of sleep Martha was sleeping.
โOf the truth, I am not aware. As I was deep asleep,โ Martha said.
โWait..Martha oh! Are you sure you are not pregnant? Because your sleep is not ordinary o..,โ Amaka raised the alarm.
โEnough of this your expensive joke,โ Martha interrupted. โWhy will you open your mouth to say I am pregnant. Are you the one that impregnated me?,โ Martha thundered.
โDonโt be offended. Just that the way you are sleeping these days is giving me big concern,โAmaka apologized and remarked.
โYou better mind your business,โ Martha warned.
โDonโt be offended. I will mind my business henceforth,โ she paused. โ Letโs go outside and see for yourself.โ
โBetterโ, she heaved a long hiss like a snake. โLetโs go jor,โ she added.
They stepped out from the shop to take a look at the damages the wind had caused.
Martha was baffled so much at what she saw. She couldnโt believe it. The damages were so much. In fact, the whole market was in total disarray.
โHow could I be this deep asleep not have noticed when all these were happening?,โ Martha asked herself while taking a walk with Amaka, observing the whole thing with her eyes.
When they were done feeding their eyes, they retired back to the shop amid shock. Because the volume of the damage was of a greater height.
Meanwhile, the rain has finally stopped. So as the affected traders were counting their losses, Martha and Amaka sat down outside the shop having a discussion.
They were discussing life in general.
โโฆMartha, is anything going wrong between you and Kelechi? Because ever since I came back from school, I havenโt seen him here. Secondly, I havenโt seen you on call with him as well. And thatโs very strange..โ, Amaka had to ask. She had been nursing that in her heart. Because when Marthaโs relationship with KC was up and running, hardly you wouldnโt see KC coming to check up on her at least twice in a day. Secondly, the length at which Martha always spent on the phone talking to KC on a daily basis always melted Amakaโs heart. To the extent she became very jealous of their relationship. Amaka described Marthaโs relationship as a โperfect relationshipโ. And wished she was the one in Marthaโs shoes.
Amaka has been so unfortunate when it comes to relationships. In fact, she has never lasted more than a year in her previous relationships. As men also have a way of breaking her heart.
Martha took a deep breath, then heaved a hiss before replying to Amaka. โMen will always be men. They will alway stain your white no matter how clean and sparkling you chose to keep the white,โ she shook her head. โWe are no longer together. I broke up with himโฆโ
โMartha, wait oh! Tell me you are joking..,โ Amaka had to ask. Because the whole thing sounded like a joke to her. Amaka never saw it coming. A relationship she always used as a point of contact while praying to God for her own man.
โI am not joking. We are no longer together,โ Martha maintained.
โWhat happened? How come?,โ Amaka asked amid confusion. As she had thought that the relationship would lead to marriage straight up.
โI cannot continue with his promiscuous life. He is a chronic womanizer,โ she paused and continued amid sober reflection. โAmaka, could you believe that KC was sleeping with Linda. I caught them red handed on the bed. So I had to call off the relationship..,โ Martha explained.
โI cannot believe KC would have the guts to cheat on you after all you did to him. Heโs indeed an ingrateโฆโ, Amaka said, shrugging her shoulders in shock.
โMen are scรปm,โ she paused. โAmaka, tell me, is there anything I havenโt done for him? How could he do this to me?,โ Martha said amid tears as she filled with nostalgia.
โHe didnโt do well by paying you for your good with bad,โ she sighed. โSo what has been his reaction ever since you broke up with him?,โ Amaka asked.
โWhat else would his reaction be if not to plead for forgiveness. He has been doing everything possible for me to forgive him but I donโt think I can be able to forgive him after what he did to me,โ Martha said, very uncertain.
โYou still love him, right?โ, Amaka asked.
โโAmaka, I will not lie to you, I still love him. I have done everything possible to let go of him off my head but the more I tried, the more his thought lives rent free inside of my head. I am afraid, his place in my heart, I donโt know if it will be replaceable..,โ Martha honestly explained.
โBabe, I understand you,โ she shook her head, sympathizing with her. โBecause the journey of first love is very unending. Especially when the two shared a lot together,โ she paused. โSo what do you intend to do nowโฆI mean are you moving on with your life or making up with him?,โ Amaka asked.
