#TheFollowingDay

…Ada woke up feeling very weak and tired. All

her body ached her. She had fever outside and

cold inside.

She managed to sweep the

compound that morning but her body no

longer carried her so she sat on the lower

pavement of the front view of their house still

holding the broom in her hand. Nwanneka

woke up and came out wash her face, on

washing her face she saw Ada sitting down on

the pavement and she called her

”Bia, Ada” She called and Ada looked at her

”Nne” She answered

”Why are you sitting down there doing nothing.

Have you fetched water this morning?’ She

asked Ada

”Nne, I’m not feeling too strong” Ada said

”Ehee.. I see. How and what are you feeling?’

Nwanneka asked Ada and she explained to her

‘My Stomach is also turning’ Ada said as a

conclusion to her sentence. On hearing the

things Ada said, Nwanneka was a bit shocked

”I think it’s malaria Nne” Ada said

”Oh, so you are now the doctor that will say if

it’s malaria” Nwanneka said and came down to

look at Ada vividly but Ada ran to the edge wall

of the house dropping the broom she held in

her hand and started vomitting

”Heee!!!!” Nwanneka exclaimed already

knowing that Ada is pregnant. After vomitting,

Ada came back to her

”Ada, come closer” Nwanneka said with a low

tone and Ada walked closer to her. She opened

her two eyes very well and looked into it.

”Ada” Nwanneka called and Ada answered

shifting back a little

”When last did you see your period?” She asked

and Adad began to think

”Oh, you don’t know what is period again okwa

ya?” Nwanneka asked

”Ada answer me!!” She barked at her

”Nne, I can’t remember” Ada replied and

Nwanneka jumped in shock

”Chineke m oooh, this girl has finally killed me”

She said

”Nna anyi Emetamma bia nu ooooh

(Emetamma my husband come oooh)”

Nwanneka shouted and Emetamma ran out still

tying a wrapper and w white singlet. Obinna

and his Sisters also came out

”What is it Nne Obinna?” Emetamma asked

removing the chewing stick in his mouth

”Nna anyi ask Ada ooh. She has finally driven

our name to the mud” Nwanneka said but Ada

still yet hasn’t gotten enough clue about what

she was saying

”How do you mean woman?’ Emetamma asked

”Ada is Pregnant Nna anyi!!’ Nwanneka said and

the chewing stick fell off from Emetamma’s

mouth and everybody was surprised

”What???!” Emetamma asked angrily.

Ada herself was shocked but her mind flashed back

to the action of Ken in his Chemist store. She

began to tremble

”Ada, is it true?” Emetamma asked walking

down the 3 cased stair.

”Nna anyi, It’s just malaria” Ada said shaking

and whinning her hands

”Malaria Okwa ya?” Emetamma asked and

landed a resounding slap on Ada which it’s wave

took Ada to the ground

”If you know what is good for you, I won’t like

to disgrace myself by beating you up on the

streets eeh. Just kindly stand up, dry your tears

and take me to the idiot that did this to you”

Emetamma said adjusting his wrapper. Ada

sluggishly stood up

”Papa, it’s Ken” Ada said and everybody was

surprised

”Ken!! Ken has killed me ooh” Nwanneka

exclaimed and began to beat Ada. Obinna felt

for Ada a bit but Olamma and Ugomma

laughed all way through mocking Ada.

”You mean Ken the doctor” Emetamma asked

”Yes Nna anyi, the day I was carried by two

people to his chemist shop to treat my wounds,

I lost consciousness and he took advantage of

me” Ada explained thinking that her

explanation will save her.

”We must meet that Ken today ooh Nna anyi”

Nwanneka said dragging Ada

”So you have finally suceeded in denting my

image just like your stupid father eeh Ada”

Emetamma said and pushed her

”Go and show that Ken” he said beating her up

adding to his wifewas beating. Obinna, Olamma

and Ugomma followed them. Villagers saw

them and stood to watch. Some even followed

them asking Olamma and Ugomma what was

happening. Other people gossipped what they

know nothing about. On getting close to Ken’s

shop, Ken heard the ooz of many people

coming towards his shop. He came out and saw

Ada being dragged by her Uncle and the wife…

”I can’t accept this pregnancy ooh” Ken thought

in his mind

”I am not yet ready to be a father”

”Afterall, I am not the only ony that does it in

this village” He concluded and went back into

his shop. They got to Ken’s shop and Ken stood

up to greet them

”Hold your greetings” Nwanneka said and Ken

pretended

”Your goods has arrived” Emetamma said

”Which goods?” Ken asked

”Is he not the one that impregnated you?”

Emetamma asked

”Yes Papa, he is” Ada said and Ken rejected her

statement by shifting back

”Ada, me?? Have I seen you since your father

died?” Ken asked and Emetamma was surprised

looking at Ada who already fell down in tears

”Maazi, tell her to show you who impregnated

her because it’s not me” Ken said boldly

”Ken, why are you lying? Say the truth” Ada said

in tears

”You are the one lying!!’ Ken said..
