???????? The Choice I Made Episode Four:
It’s been over seven months since Blessing left Nigeria. Her number isn’t connecting anymore and she has not called as she promised Preye she will call her immediately after she gets there. Preye became worried that there’s no single day that passes by she will not try Blessing’s number to know if it will get connected.
Mama, I’m thinking if I should go to Memgbe, Blessing’s village, and know if her siblings have heard from her ever since she traveled. Preye suggested.
Yes, it’s important but since you don’t know how to locate her compound in Memgbe. How do think you can find it? Preye’s Mother asked.
She has described her place to me and her Surname is Tamunotonye. I will concentrate on searching for Tamunotonye’s family. If I couldn’t find it I will come back. After all is not far from here and it isn’t a place one can get lost.
The next day, Preye left for Memgbe and as luck may have it she located her compound. It was a very large family that deserves to be given an autonomous community. Nobody would give Preye answers about Blessing’s whereabouts apart from Dagogo who is Blessing’s Immediate younger sister whom they told her she now works and lives at Assiri with white people close to their construction site. Preye transported herself to Assiri. She met Dagogo and she told her the same thing that Blessing has never called.
But Blessing said the person that invited her is your cousin. Preye asked.
Yes, Blessing knows all our cousins because she was the one our parents brought closer to them. I don’t know them all I only know their names. Dagogo explains.
Is there no way you can get the number of your cousin she stays with? Preye aske.
If I try I will get the number but my work here doesn’t give me time. But I know Blessing is sound and safe. Dagogo said.
I hope so too. Preye said and moved closer to Dagogo. These white people, do they need more workers because I’m looking for work too. Preye whispered to her.
For now, no they are not. But you have to live here if they employ you. There’s a man in charge of employing workers. Any day they will be needing a new worker I will tell him about you. Dagogo said.
Preye and Dagogo exchanged contact. Preye went home and told her mother how she went and where she went I met Dagogo.
Heeeyi! So, you mean you reached Assiri construction site today? Preye’s mother asked.
Yes, mama, hahaha! Mama, you shouted as if you know where the construction site is. Preye laughed at her Mom.
Of course, I do know Assiri too well. We have gone there when the white people newly arrived. It was rumored they were digging out gold from the ground. Many people from different villages went to see it by themselves. we went and it was all lies. Preye’s mum briefly narrated a small story to Preye.
Haaa! Ehe, Mama I also told Dagogo she should let me know when her boss will be employing people so I will go and apply.
No, you can’t try it. Transporting yourself every day from here to Asiri and coming back, do you know how much it will cost a day or do you think because they are white people they will pay you a million? Preye’s Mom said
No mama na. I will live there the way Dagogo lives with them. Preye said.
You can’t take my child Victory at this age and go to such a place. Preye’s Mom seriously said.
Who is even taken Victory? He will be here with you. Preye’s said.
This discussion is now sounding childish. Let me go and pack my garri inside it wants to rain. Preye’s mother stood up and left her.
Three months later, around 10:30 at night. Preye’s phone rang and it was a + number that isn’t a Nigerian number.
Mama! Mama! Wake up oo + number is calling me. Preye woke her mother from sleep.
Pick, pick, and put it on a loud volume if it is ritual people, we will know.
Preye picked and place on a loud volume. It was Blessing. Preye shouted that her voice startled Victory from sleep and got him crying. She rushed outside because Victory’s cry started disturbing the call. They talked for hours on the phone. The phone call ended with Blessing inviting Preye over and telling her plenty of money flows where she is.
The call ended Preye rushed inside and happily told her mother that Blessing in inviting her over.
Hmmm! Preye this is what we will talk about tomorrow. Let’s not wake Victory up from sleep again. Preye’s mother said.
