Must Read: HONEYMOON - Season 1 - Episode 28

Emilia called Ebuka in the night and told him about the new development,he was happy because one enemy had surrendered,it was left for his mum to do so. So he promised Emilia that he would try to persuade his mum to allow him marry her. The next morning, Ebuka woke up and decided to talk gently to his mother without violence to allow him marry Emilia ,he went to her room and met her ironing her robe.

Ebuka: Mummy,the mummy! Goodmorning! (He said smiling).
Barr.Ebere: Hmm! (surprised at his light-heartedness). Good morning, my son,how was your night?
Ebuka: (still smiling) Ha! It was very cool oh,that’s why i decided to come and check if yours was also cool.
Barr.Ebere: Yes mine was cool.
Ebuka: Okay mummy,erm! erm! (clears his throat) i want to have a discussion with you.

Barr.Ebere: Okay sit, i’m all ears.
Ebuka: You know, our people say the caterpillar cannot start courting with another caterpillar till the mother butterfly blesses it and it turns to a butterfly and starts courting.
Barr.Ebere: Lolz(laughing wildly) Where did you learn that proverb from? I don’t know about it.

Ebuka: From my friends, okay mum but i’m the caterpillar,you’re my mother, i believe i’m a matured caterpillar now,so bless me so that i would turn to a butterfly and marry my wife.

Barr.Ebere: (Raises her eyebrow) And who is your intended bride?
Ebuka: It’s the pretty,elegant,intelligent,resourceful and good-mannered Emilia, i don’t need to tell you nau! You already know.
Barr.Ebere: Ebuka,you know what,i don’t want to go into this matter again,get out from my room,i will never allow you marry that brat.

Ebuka: Mum! Mum! Why are you so obstinate in listening to me,if you continue this way,i have no choice than to commit suicide,life worths nothing to me living without Emilia.
Barr.Ebere: You won’t understand Ebuka (Ebuka left her room very angry).

Ebuka was not himself,he came out from his room with a strong long rope,no one saw him when he left his room and headed downstairs,he went to the big pear tree at the back-yard and started tying the rope to a branch of the tree,he also tied the other part to form a noose,as he put the noose in his neck and was about drawing it, El-malik the gateman, who came with a shovel to weed the back-yard sighted Ebuka attempting to commit suicide and shouted.

El-malik: Oga abeg nau! No kill yourself abeg (He removed the rope from Ebuka’s neck and Ebuka was struggling to drag the rope from El-malik).
Ebuka: What does this life worth Without Emilia,hun! Is it not better to end my life.

El-malik: Oga no,no do am.Madam,Oga! (El-malik shouted at a very high pitch still dragging the rope with Ebuka).
Ebuka: El-malik,leave this rope before i kill you along with me. (The back-yard was vertically linear to Barr.Ebere’s room,so she heard El-malik’s voice and ran downstairs with bare-foot,Mr.Eze was not left out, as he steeple-chased through the staircase like someone running in the olympics,they entered the back-yard and started asking questions).

Mr.Eze: El-malik what is the problem and why are you dragging a rope with Ebuka?
El-Malik: Oga goodmorning,as i dey come clear grass,i see Oga Ebuka dey tie rope por tree and por he neck wan kill himselp,i come dey beg am, dey drag rope with am(Mistaking the ‘f’ for ‘p’).
Barr.Eze: Ebuka why do you want to kill yourself (she started crying) Ebuka why?
