???????????? Christmas In The Village EPISODE FIVE: ????
The next day Ada and her brother Somto decided to go to their maternal home to go and greet their uncles and also visit Chekwube on their way back who came back very late the previous day.
Mama, is Peter still driving Keke? Somto asked her mother.
Yes, what happened? Ada’s mom responded.
Mama, please give me his no let me call him to come and take us to Amani. Somto said.
Ah ah, where are you people going, I thought you people are going to my father’s compound to greet Onyeoma and Onukwube, my brothers. Why are you looking for Keke that will take you there? My father’s compound, you can call someone’s name from here, and the person there will answer you is what you want to charter a keke for. Ada’s mom said.
Mama, are you saying we should trek from here to รmรกni community? Somto asked.
Somtochukwu, is it far? Have I ever entered keke to Amani before? Lee รฎmi, Lee onu( a stone throw) this is Christmas we are celebrating. Both of you should use this opportunity to walk down the village and see people and people will see you too. Copy from Chima your brother. He has gone to the village town hall where Emenike is launching his song today. I was thinking that’s where you both are going tomorrow you will go to Amani. Ada’s mom said.
Mama, please give me the no I’m the one paying him not you. Somto said.
Somto adighi’m รฉnye (Somto I’m not giving) if you two can not trek to Amani then go in take off your clothes and sleep because that’s the only thing you two came to the village for. Ada’s mom insisted.
Hahaha! Somto please let’s go. I think there’s one tiny road there that will take us to Amani market. Let’s follow through the bush is not far. When we get to Amani market we will enter a bike or kรฉke. Ada said and they both left.
These children still remember this awarร tiny bush road. I will go and tell Mama Emma to block his farm the way she used to that all this Christmas children will break all her cassava stems. Ada’s mom said to herself.
So, mama practically wanted us to trek from here to Amani, and by the time we will get there, we will be sweating like a Christmas chicken they want to slaughter. Somto said.
That’s our mother for you. Thank God my friend Chekwube is back. From tomorrow I will start going out for Mama to be happy. Yes Somto, I remember you told me about your girlfriend from our local government you wanted to come home with that later traveled to her maternal home. How come this Rivรฉr’s girl Gift, you came home with? Ada asked Somto.
Oh, Mmesรณmma? She is there in her maternal home. Both of them are my girlfriend. I met Mmesรณmma before Gift. I won’t lie to you Gift is every man’s desire. I love her though but I can’t marry her because of where she’s from. Somto said.
Somto you don’t love her because if you do you wouldn’t have said what you said now. Somto, you better not let Mama make decisions for you or marry to make Mama happy. You are the one that will spend the rest of your life with your wife you are not marrying her to keep for Mama. I remember what Papa told me when Mama refused I won’t marry Christ my second suitor when I was in my early 30s. Papa told me that love is a traveler that takes one far in search of his or her soul mate. I would have listened to Papa but I said let me make Mama happy for the last time. Had it been I know what I know now I would have followed my heart but I still don’t regret it because everything happens for a reason. So my dear brother, if you have searched your heart thoroughly and Gift is the one for you bring her home properly. I don’t like the way you are coming home with different girls. It doesn’t speak well of you. Now Gift was supposed to follow us but you are avoiding being asked who is she again because she’s not the one they know you with. Ada advised Somto.
Ada Daddy ya! I’ve heard what you said, my Princess. Somto said and they kept walking.
My dear what’s your name again? Ada’s mom asked Chinelo Chima’s girlfriend.
Chinelo, mama. Chinelo answer.
Ehe Chinelo, where are you going to with all this makeup you are applying on your face? Ada’s mom.
Mama I want to stroll I’m so bored at home. Chinelo answered.
Ohh, you want to stroll with all this make-up you are applying on your face. Nnรฉ orikรก fichanata ( my dear is too much, clean them a bit) I hope this cloth showing your breร st is not what you are wearing out. Ada’s mom asked.
Mama this is how I wear my makeup. As for my cloth, nothing happened to it. Is just the way I’m seated made it look like this. If I stand up it will adjust. Besides it’s Chima that bought it for me this Christmas. Chinelo explained.
My dear, you will not dress like this and leave my house. I’m a headmistress. Ezigbรณte onyรฉ nkรปzi malรป รฎfe รดna ร kuzi( a confirmed teacher that knows what she’s teaching) what you are wearing is what I condemn and teach against. You can’t give me and my family a bad name by dressing like this. Ada’s mom said.
Mama, I don’t have any other cloth to wear. Chinelo said and was still doing the make-up she was doing.
If you don’t have another cloth then sit down. After all idighรฎ agbร kร idร ta รฉgo (you are not looking for a husband) Ada’s mom said.
Chinelo stood up and went inside to get her handbag. Gift calmly followed her and asked her if they were still strolling because of what their mother in law to be said.
Do you still want us to stroll or do you want us to stay back in the house? Chinelo asked Gift.
Sure, I want us to but what Mama is saying she sounds like she means it. Gift said.
Gift, the only thing that will make me not to leave this house today is if you don’t want us to go out again but if it is because of what Mama said I didn’t hear her. Go and wear your shoe let’s go. Chinelo said.
They both got prepared and were about to leave. They both went to where Ada’s father was sitting to tell him they were going out.
Daddy, we are going to the town hall where they are lunching music today. Chima is there he asked us to come. Chinelo said.
Okay, nwร ’m ( okay my daughter) Ada’s father responded.
Daddy, do you drink yogurt I will buy it for you when coming back. You know it cools ulcers. Chinelo asked.
Oh, my daughter! Thank you so much. If you see soya milk you buy that one for me I love it better. Ada’s father said.
Okay, Daddy, I will make sure I look for it and buy it for you. Chinelo said and they went to Ada’s mom to tell her.
Mama, we are going to the town hall for the launch. We will be coming back with Chima any time it closes. Chinelo said and they left.
Mama Ada was so speechless and weak. She couldn’t believe Chinelo wore the same cloth with that same heavy makeup on her face despite all her warnings.
God fรณrbid! I will never have such a girl as my daughter-in-law. She is not fully married and it’s like this. Never!
