Must Read: I Have Done Some Great Bad Things - Season 1 - Episode 31

It surprised Amara that i could be bold
enough to challenge my parents,and my
Grandma’s two daughters( Who were my
Aunt)..Seriously,i was somehow shy(and still
is.),but Whenever Amara was around me then,i
did silly things…Anywayz,Thanks to my
Grandma’s love for me…I Said that if they are
not happy that i came back today,i will leave,at
least there are many people that wants me to
stay with them..I really became angry,as Amara
told me to keep quiet in a cautious
manner..That was when my Mum now raised
her own voice,accusing my Grandma of Spoiling
me,and blah blah blah blah blah…My Dad on
his own was dumbfounded and said he was
going to deal with me seriously that day..My
Aunts kept fuelling the whole situation,and my
Uncle was unusually calm…I guess it didnt
bother him then,and he couldnt leave his
fiancee to come and start rattling with women
or me..My Grandma on her own kept telling
them to leave me alone,that afterall,this is
“ekeresimesi”(Christmas)..When the Whole
situation rose to a high point,i simply told
Amara,who was now also furious with me for
Challenging my people,that am leaving the
house….I said i will not come back again,that i
have heard enough..I said it aloud,that You
people cannot just come out from nowhere and
start claiming parents on me..My Grandma told
me to come closer to her,as she started
flattering me with her usual words and begging
me to cool down..As old as i was then,my
Grandma sat me on her lap in a chair she was
sitting and started calming me quietly…Some
persons were pleased,others simply looked
away in jealousy or defeat,i guess..I simply
said,”mmaa o kwa maka gi o..hmmm..ndi a na
akpasu m iwe nga o..onye shiri ebe oshi,ya abia
nga i command m”(Mama,it is becus of You
o…hmmmm..people will just come from
nowhere to come and start bossing me
around)…”hafu ha ri nwa m”(leave them
joor,my child!),she said…….

After everything has settled and we have eaten
(me and Amara,and every other person),i said i
am going out again….They said,i am going
nowhere..They even inserted that i have gone
out a lot and so,till December finishes,i am
grounded…….WHAAAAAAAAAAT!.. “kama nka a
ga eme,ma anwuo!”(instead of this one to
happen,i will die)..That Was the first time i
remember i swore with
death

I rushed straight to my Grandma’s room
who was startled,as she asked me “ihe ahu o
nini?”(What is that?)..i said “Mmaa mmaa,o kwa
ihula ha ozo na..o kwa ihula ha ozo na..m si ka
m fuo,ha na asi m na afogaghi m..na ma a ga
fuo ozo till december agwu”(Mama,mama,are
you seeing this people again?are u seeing this
people again?They are saying i will not go out
again till the end of December)..My Grandma
immediately came out,and i followed her behind
as she went straight to the Central Room
(parlour)…She immediately asserted that “kedu
ihe wu na unu aga ekwe nwunye Felix zuora
unu ike n’ime uyo a..Unu kwem Zuo ike,kwenu
m zuo ike..Odii,jewari ebe ebula i choro ije..Uyo
Felix wu nga gi”(Why is it that u people dont
want Felix’ wife to have peace..You people
should allow me have peace,allow me have
peace..odii,go anywhere you want to go,The
House of Felix is ur your home)……she hissed
heavily and stormed out into her room..

I smiled victoriously as i went to Amara and told
her we should leave..Amara was sumhw
reluctant,as she was afraid of my people..I Told
her not to worry,thats their way..She still didnt
want to go…i guess she was afraid that she will
be blamed for my action throughout that
period…Amara almost made me unhappy that
moment,as i looked at her again and tears
started forming in my eyez..But then,why the
tearz? I almost cried because i had been
disobedient and disrespectful because of
Amara,and here was Amara not wanting to take
sides with me(dnt laugh o,but i cry easily those
days..its just a normal thing for me)..I then
wished that it was Nkiru that was there with me
that moment..Even though she(Nkiru) will
caution me warningly and seriously about my
bad Act,she alwaz sides with me..It got to
Amara anyway,as she immediately told me not
to cry…She stood up from where she was
sitting,brought out her handkerchief and wiped
my eyez..She took me by the hand as we
walked out of my house…..”kedu ebe anyi na
aga?”(where are we going to?),i asked…..Dont
Worry, She said,Just follow
me!.
