Even Emetamma and Nwanneka was confused..

”Ken, you took advantage of me when two

people brought me here for you to treat my

wounds” Ada said

”That must be in your dream Ada” Ken kept on

denying

”If you say so, who treated her wounds?”

Nwanneka asked

”Maazi, I closed my shop and went home one

certain night. On coming back the next

morning, I saw Ada in my shop crying. I saw the

wounds on her and had pity on her. I treated

her the wounds without collecting any money

knowing that her Father was my good friend

when he was alive. So Nna anyi, tell me, how

did I put her in a family way” Ken sophisticated

his words to make them believe. As he lied,

Ada’s tears increased

”Ada, so you brought me here to insult me”

Emetamma said slapping Ada

”Please take it easy on her Nna anyi” Ken said

behaving like a good person

”You will follow us to the palace because the

Igwe must hear this” Emetamma said to Ken

”Alright” Ken agreed immediately to avoid

suspicion and he began to close his shop

”Ken, please say the truth..” Ada kept saying in

tears

”Shut up!” Emetamma slapped her again and

Ada’s face swelled up a bit.

”Let’s go Nna anyi” Ken said and they dragged

Ada to the palace…

AT THE PALACE

The elders were already at the Palace

discussing with the Igwe about what happened

in Ada’s house the previous day. Still on their

conversation, they heard noises from the gate,

so they all stood and walked outside. On taking

a closer look, it wad Emetamma, his family and

some villagers walking in and Ada in tears.. He

lifted up his hand as they came closer and they

all kept quiet, only Ada’s sober tears was heard.

” You can now go” Igwe said to the villagers and

they all left.

”Maazi, what is it?” Igwe asked

”Igwe, please let’s talk about this inside”

Emetamma requested and they all walked in.

As they walked in Lolo came into the council

room and joined them as she felt it to be an

interesting matter although she hasn’t known

Ada. Ada knelt before everybody and Ken stood

beside her with a pretending angry face while

others sat down.

”What’s that noise outside?’ Onochie asked

Charles who was busy with his phone

”I guess those villagers stuff” Charles replied

”No, I don’t think so. I feel something” Onochie

said and Charles looked at him.

”Alright, let’s go check it out” Charles said and

they began to go down to the council room

*

”Igwe, I greet you. May your reign never end”

Emetamma greeted

”Please ask this thing kneeling down here who

impregnated her” Emetamma said and the

room became noisy as everybody was

surprised

”What!!?? Pregnant?” Igwe asked thinking it was

Onochie his Son but Emetamma cleared his

thoughts

”She claimed that this young man here

impregnated her, but he said he is not

responsible” Emetamma said pointing at Ken

and Igwe’s mind got relaxed

”Ada” Igwe called

”Who is responsible for the pregnancy?’ Igwe

asked. Immediately Igwe asked the question,

Onochie and Charles arrived and they

overheard it

”What???’ Onochie’s voice sounded from behind

”Impregnated who?” He asked and walked

towards Ada

”Ada, what happened?” Onochie asked but Ada

said nothing

”Onochie, repect the elders here and sit down”

Onowu said and Onochie obeyed unwillingly.

”Now speak Ada” Igwe said and Ada explained

everything in tears. As she concluded, Ken

attacked her words

”Igwe, it’s a big lie” Ken said and explained

exactly what he told Emetamma in his shop and

Igwe was confused

”Dad, you don’t have to believe this young man

here, he must have done exactly what Ada said

here” Onochie solicited for Ada

”Keep quiet Son” Igwe said taking it as an

opportunity to take Ada out of the sight of

Onochie

”Can you swear an oath to this both of you”

Igwe asked

”Yes I will Igwe” Ken said immediately and

Igwe looked at Ada

”What about you Ada?” Igwe asked

”Igwe, I am a Christian and I don’t take oaths”

Ada said

”Then it is true that you are lying against this

young man here” Igwe said supported by the

elders

”Ada, take the oath to show them that you are

saying the truth” Onochie said and Lolo

suspected his actions towards the case

”Since you won’t prove your innocence, I will

thereby give my judgement” Igwe said and

Onochie felt depressed and betrayed.

”I trusted you Ada!! You betrayed me!” Onochie

said and left immediately followed by Charles

”You have only 5 days to leave this village

peacefully till that bastard you have in your

womb is either eliminated or given birth to.

And also, you are not allowed to mingle with

anybody in these five days” Igwe said

”That is my judgement!” Igwe concluded

”Igwe!!!” They all bowed down and began to

depart one after the other. Emetamma and his

family went home leaving Ada behind.

Ada looked at Ken with tears in her eyes but

Ken never felt pity on her. He greeted the Igwe

and left. Ada in tears stood up and starred at

the Igwe for some time and she left.
