IGWE EBUBEDIKE’S PALACE

Since the day Ada was judged by Igwe

Ebubedike, Onochie never left his room, he

didn’t eat neither did he drink anything. He

stayed indoors and locked up the door. He

didn’t even allow Charles to come in not even

his mother.

”Onochie!! Onochie!! Please open this door. It’s

me your mother Onochie” Lolo knocked on the

door severally, but Onochie didn’t even say a

word nor open the door.

”Onochie, please open up this door” Charles

said aloud. They knocked till they got tired.

”This is serious, now I want you to tell me the

truth” Lolo said facing Charles and Charles

became tense

”What truth?” Charles asked

”Who is that girl to Onochie?” Lolo asked and

Charles scratched his head

”To be honest Ma, that is the girl that Onochie

claims to love” Charles said throwing away his

face

”I see, so that’s the lady that is causing all this

in my house” Lolo said.

”Why didn’t you tell me about all these hide

and seek games you have been playing with

Onochie” Lolo queried him

”Sorry Ma, I thought it wasn’t necessary”

Charles said

”Now you see it is necessary” Lolo said and ran

downstairs.

”Your Highness!! Igwe!!!” Lolo shouted the

name of Igwe Ebubedike as Nnenna follwed her

immediately. She met Igwe Ebubedike sitting

on his throne licking oranges

”Igwe, you are here sitting comfortably and

licking oranges when your Son is up there

killing himself. Not eating nor drinking” Lolo

shouted at Igwe but Igwe said nothing. Lolo

angrily took away the plate of Orange and

shattered it on the groung

”What is the meaning of all this Lolo?” Igwe

asked

”Go up there and bring your son out, afterall

you placed the judgement on that poor girl.

Better go up there and bring my Son out ooh”

Lolo barked at the Igwe but Igwe stood up

”I have no Son for now until he agrees to my

advice. Nonsense” Igwe said and left

”Igwe, you are going. Better come back here

ooh” Lolo said and ran after Igwe. Charles

became confused and sat on the cushion close

to him. Later on, he ran back upstairs and

knocked a bit quietly

”Onochie, it’s me Charles. Please open up. No

one is here with me now” Charles said

”You can’t just be suffering yourself in there

for no just course. We can think something out”

Charles’ words began to convince Onochie.

Onochie looked at the door and sluggishly

stood up. He looked through the opening on

the door and saw that it was only Charles so he

opened the door. Charles without saying any

word walked in and Onochie closed the door

again. Charles looked at the frustrated Onochie

and sat on the bed

”Look at what you are doing to yourself Bro”

Charles said

”She betrayed my love for her” Onochie said in

a shaky voice

”How sure are you that she wasn’t saying the

truth” Charles asked

”She should have told me” Onochie said

”When? How many times have you seen her

since you met her?” Charles asked further

”Never conclude matter like that” Charles

concluded

”You can still find out the truth by going to ask

her personally” Charles suggested

”Yes, that’s right” Onochie said throwing up a

brighter face but his face got dim again

”What if she confirms that she is lying?”

Onochie asked

”Then you have to forgive” Charles said and

Onochie looked at him drawing sense out of his

words.

”Let’s go to her house” Onochie said

”No, you are not going anywhere till you eat

something” Charles said

”I will eat when we get back” Onochie said

”Promise?” Charles asked

”Yes I promise” Onochie said crossing his heart

and they smiled. They walked down the

staircase, as they walked down, they met Lolo

who was surprised and happy to see Onochie.

She ran to hug him but Onochie didn’t

reciprocate

”Thank the gods you finally came out” Lolo said

smiling

”Mom, as you can see I am off to somewhere”

Onochie said and Lolo drew back. Charles

immediately gave her a sign that she should

not worry about anything and she understood

”Alright my Son, come back early” Lolo said and

they left.

”Please take care of him” Lolo said to Charles

”You can count on me” Charles replied and they

closed the door behind them. Lolo quickly sat

on the Cushion feeling happy that at least her

Son is out of his room. She called Nnenna

immediately

”Get me a glass of juice” She ordered Nnenna

and she went to get it.

Charles controlled the wheels of the Toyota

Tundra car they took and they drove to Ada’s

house.. As they entered, Emetamma and his

family who were outside greeted them

immediately.

”You may sit my Prince” Olamma said cleaning

the chair with her skirt

”Thank you, but I’m Ok standing” Onochie said

and forced out a smile

”What do we owe this visit my Prince?”

Emetamma asked

”Where is Ada?” Onochie asked and

everywhere became quiet.

”I said, where is Ada?’ He asked again and

Emetamma pretended to be crying and

Onochie was shocked

”Ada is dead” Emetamma lied

”What???!” Onochie exclaimed…
