IGWE EBUBEDIKE’S PALACE

Onochie sat under the fancy tree in the middle

of the Palace discussing with Charles. Guards

and maidens bowed in greetings as they walked

pass them. Their conversation seemed funny as

they laughed occassionally but suddenly

Onochie’s mood began to change..

”Bro, what’s up with you?” Charles asked but

Onochie said nothing

”c’mon Bro, your mood has always been this

way for some days now. Your mood changes

instantly with no cause” Charles complained to

him

”Why will my mind feel happy. Why will I smile

when my reason to smile is gone. Why will I be

happy when my source of joy has been taken

awaay from me” Onochie said and Charles

stood up from his chair. He walked to him and

held him on his shoulders.

”We can’t predict things Bro. You just have to

adapt to how you see things” Charles said to

him

”Adapt?? Adapt you said?? Adapt to the fact that

Ada is dead??” Onochie asked

”I didn’t mean it that way, just try to man Up

and face the future” Charles said to Onochie

who hissed. As they were still in the middle of

the slightly arguementative and consoling

atmosphere, Alika, one of the Palace guards

walked in

”Good Morning my Prince” He greeted and

turned to Charles and greeted also

”Yes, what can we do for you?” Charles asked

him

”The King calls for you my Prince” He said

looking at Onochie

”He is coming” Charles replied for Onochie and

the guard left.

”You have to pull yourself together Bro”

Charles said and Onochie comported himself.

They left for the throne room to answer the

call of Igwe Ebubedike…

*

”My Son” Igwe called as he sat on his throne,

Lolo beside him, Onochie and Charles sat on

the cushion by the left.

”I understand the fact that the person you

loved is no more…” Igwe began with a low tone

”But you still have to go on, you have to move

on” He continued

”Errh…. At least you still have a hope. The

throne, you can’t just leave it blank because

you re mourning your Love. Even if you cry till

eternity, she won’t rise up” Igwe added

”Olaedo is here for you. Just accept her my

Son” Igwe concluded

”My Son, please listen to your father” Lolo said

and Onochie exhaled. He stood up immediately

”I have heard you Dad” He said and began to

walk upstairs. Charles sttod up and followed

him. Igwe and Lolo were not really satisfied

with his actions but his words satisfied them.

”He is really emotionally demoralized Igwe”

Lolo said

”Remembered he loved that girl alot” She

added

”Love?? I thank the gods she is away anyway”

Igwe said

”What??!!!” Lolo angrily asked

”Yes of course. That girl would have caused a

great havock in this kingdom” Igwe said

”You are heartless Igwe” Lolo said and Igwe’s

face changed

”It’s just for our good” Igwe said

”At least now he can concentrate on Olaedo”

Igwe added

”Mtcheew..” Lolo hissed and angrily stood up

and Igwe laughed at her as she left…

*

”I know how you feel Man bu…” Charles tried

to talk to Onochie in their but Onochie stopped

him from talking

”It’s alright my Brother, you are really more

than a friend” Onochie said and smiled a bit.

They hugged each other and Charles was happy

Onochie was back to his normal mood again..

They broke the hug and Onochie turned around

backing Charles..

”I have decided to follow my fathers’ wish”

Onochie said and faced Charles

”What do you mean by that?” Charles asked

”I have decided to marry Olaedo” Onochie

concluded looking serious and Charles opened

up his mouth in surprise. He wasn’t really

happy about it but he pretended and began to

smile

”That’s a good one Bro. At least to stop the

quarrels” Charles said and they shook hands.

”Papa! Papa!!” Olamma shouted the name of

Emetamma who rushed out to see Obinna

beating Olamma up.

”Bia Obinna, why are you beating her?”

Emetamma asked Obinna

”Leave her immediately!!” He ordered but

Obinna paid deaf ears

”I said Leave her!:” He said and walked towards

Obinna and separated him from Olamma

”What is the problem?” He asked and Olamma

began to cry

”Papa, why won’t she fetch water in this house.

Ada is gone now and she expects me to fetch

water and sweep for her. God has saved

Ugomma that she ran away” Obinna said

”Papa, I waon’t do anything in this house ooh..

Tell him to leave me alone ooh” Olamma said

sobbing

”Shut up both of you” Emetamma said

”Why won’t you do the house works eeh

Olamma?” He asked her

”And why will you beat Her? She is your sister”

Emetamma queried Obinna and Olamma began

to rant her mouth. Obinna became annoyed

again and began to beat her. Emetamma

struggled to separate tham but they mistakenly

pushed him down. They didn’t even noticed he

fell. He manged to stand up and separated

them holding his waist.

”Now both of you get inside!” He ordered and

they went inside with angry faces

”Cheii!! This children won’t kill me” He said and

sat down holding his waist as it pained him..
