…They ran and surrpunded her immediately.

Nneoma laid her head on her laps. Ada

sneezed again and opened her eys completely

holding her head

”Aarrgh.. My head!” Ada exclaimed

”Take it easy my dear” Nneoma said

”Where I’m I?” Ada asked looking around still

laying on Nneoma’s leg

”Don’t bother where you are my dear. You are

safe now?” Odunze replied Ada.

”Chisom, go and get her food” Nneoma said

and Chisom went to bring the food. Nneoma

slowly raised the head of Ada and placed it on

her shoulders so that she can eat. As Chisom

brought the food, Odunze took it from her and

gave it to Nneoma

”Papa take it easy” Chisom jokingly said and

they laughed. Although Ada wasn’t able to see

their faces very clearly but she felt she was in

safe hands. She slowly opened her mouth and

ate as Nneoma fed her. Still on the food, she

began to cough

”Water! Water!!” Odunze said

”Sorry my dear” Nneoma said to Ada hitting

her chest to calm the cough down. Chisom

brought the water and Ada drank the whole

cup.

”Get another one” Odunze said. Chisom

brought it and Ada still finished it.

”She must be thirsty” Nneoma said

”Do you want more?” Odunze asked Ada and

she nodded her head positively and Chisom

brought more water for her and she drank. She

later finished the food and relaxed

”Thank You” Ada said weakly and slept on the

shoulders of Nneoma. Unwanted smiles glowed

on the faces of Odunze’s family…

EARLY THE NEXT MORNING..

Ada woke up very early as it was already part of

her. She swept the whole compound, found the

kitchen and arranged it and everywhere was

shinning clean. Due to the fact that Odunze left

her on the mat outside with Chisom, she went

back to the mat and sat down looking at Chisom

very closely. She looked around her new

environment and thanked God for still keeping

her alive. Few minutes later, Nneoma came out

and Ada stood up immediately in respect.

”No.. No my daughter” Nneoma said

”You don’t have to stand up” She added and

Ada greeted her

”Hope you slept well?” She asked and Ada

nodded positively

”That’s good”

”How are you feeling now?” She asked further

”More better Ma. Thank you ver…” Ada tried to

say but was interupted by Nneoma

”Thank the God of heaven you are still alive my

dear” Nneoma said and Ada smiled a bit.

Nneoma left and went to the kitchen but she

ran out

”Chisom!! Chisom!:” She called surprised and

Chisom woke up yawning

”Nne, you called me” Chisom said

”Who swept the kit…” She tried to say and also

saw that the compound was swept..

”Chisom, when did you start sweeping?”

Nneoma asked Chisom who was also surprised

at her question.

”Errhhm, Sorry Ma, I was the one that swept

it.” Ada said with a soft voice and Nneoma

gazed at her, even Chisom looked at her

immediately.

Nneoma quickly walked up to Ada

and held her softly

”My daughter, you shouldn’t have. I would have

done it myself” Nneoma said and Ada looked at

her with sweet eyes

”I…I…” Ada stammered but Nneoma

interupted

”No..My dear, you are not yet strong” Nneoma

said and walked Ada inside

”Lazy girl” Nneoma said to Chisom who giggled

and followed them. As they walked in, Odunze

came out chewing a stick.

”I heard you people laughing. What is funny?”

He asked and they laughed again.

”My daughter how are you?” Odunze asked Ada

who greeted him

”I’m feeling better now Sir” She said

”I really want to thank you Sir for your help.

You and your family helped me a lot Sir” Ada

thanked them and tried kneeling in

appreciation but Odunze help her in the air

”It’s alright my daughter. Just thank God I was

in the bush that day” Odunze said and hugged

her as tears of joy flowed down the eyes of

Ada.

”Don’t Cry my daughter.. It’s alright” Odunze

said as Nneoma and Chisom looked at Ada

piteously.

”Sit down my daughter” Odunze said and

everybody sat down.

”I just wanted to ask, what really happened to

you. Like, I saw you bleeding to death in the

bush that day” Odunze said and Ada folded her

hands and tears began to drop down her eyes

”Papa Chisom, I don’t think this is the best time

to ask her this question. She just got up. Let us

go and have breakfast” Nneoma suggested and

Odunze sighed

”I just felt concerned” Odunze said and Ada still

kept quiet shedding tears. They consoled her

and made her smile a bit. They all walked in

and ate.

Up till that moment Ada never figured

out that she is no more pregnant. She began to

feel loved again. Smiles, tears and songs of joy

overwhelmed her. Odunze and his family loved

her as much as they Loved Chisom their

daughter…
