Act Of Faith Season 3

“Yes, I am awake as you can see, who was
that?” Christiana asked the young man
again, Karma. It has been up to 7 months
now since she found herself in Tankute,
she had actually been in coma for the first
6 months and had recently regained
consciousness, just a month ago. “That is
lade, she is the youngest married woman
we have in the village” He explained, “She
got married just as you were recovering”
Karma added and she nodded. “I will love
to follow you hunting today, don’t even try
to oppose it, I will surely go with you
today and you can’t stop me like you
always do” Christiana said and made to go
back into the hut, “Christiana, you can’t
follow me to the jungle, the jungle is a
dangerous place to be in and you are a
lady” Karma said and Christiana
immediately bursted into laughter. “Look at
you, you think I am scared of the jungle? I
guess you know nothing about me. Don’t
worry, I will challenge you one day to a
wrestling competition and then you will
know just how strong I am” Christiana said
and followed it with a long hiss. “In
Tankute, women don’t challenge men to
fight, it is an abomination” Karma said,
“But in where I come from, women beat up
men, it is not an abomination” Christiana
said. “Okay, anything you say but you
aren’t following me to the jungle” Karma
said and got up with his cutlass. “Karma, I
am following you to the Jungle” Christiana
said as she tried to block him from
entering the hut. “No you are not, can we
stop arguing about this jungle thing? We
don’t have to do this every morning before
I go hunting” Karma said, “This morning is
a different one, I won’t let you go like
every other morning unless you allow me
follow you” Christiana said. Karma stood
still staring at her, he then let out a deep
breath. “Christiana, you are not coming
with me to the jungle” He said, “Then none
of us is going to the jungle” Christiana
smiled. “Karma, let your friend go with you
to the jungle today” A voice said from the
inside, the person who had spoken soon
came out to reveal a very old man
probably in his eighties, he was walking
with the aid of a walking stick. “Tell him
papa, he never allow me go with him”
Christiana smiled, “Papa, you know how
dangerous the jungle is, I can’t allow her
go with me” Karma opposed. “Karma my
brave boy, you know, when a child insists
on playing with fire, you should leave that
child, let him learn with experience” the old
man said, “If Christian goes to the jungle
today, she might not want to go another
day” The old man said with a smile that
revealed his disorganized teeth. “Let her
go with you Karma” the old man
concluded. “Okay papa” Karma said with
his head bent, he was obviously not happy
with the decision. “Don’t worry Karma, it
will be fun” Christiana said holding his
hands, “I pray so” He hissed and walked
into the hut. “Thank you papa, at last, I am
going to the jungle” Christiana shouted as
she also walked inside.

The old man
smiled and looked into the sky, suddenly
his smile faded to a frown, “Bad omen” He
said to himself.
