MR. ODUNZE’S COMPOUND SAME NIGHT

….”My story is a very painful one that I don’t

like to remember” Ada said as they sat round a

little fire after having dinner. Ada is now very

strong enough but still never cared to notice

her lost pregnancy

”Hmm.. My daughter, life is full of troubles and

problems my dear” Nneoma said and Ada

continued

”It all began when I lost my parents in a ghastly

motor accident..” Ada began

”My Father was taking my Mom to the hospital

when she was in labour of me, they and my

elder Brother who was still little then” Ada

added

”You have a brother?” Chisom asked

”I haven’t seen or known him, my Uncle said he

also died in the accident” Ada said and

continued

”My Father died instantly and my Mom rushed

to the hospital half dead. By Caesarean Section,

my life was saved but my Mother died” Ada

said and that was where it all began..

”My Uncle and his family maltreated me and in

the process, I wa…wa…” Ada stammered

pressing her stomach

”you were what??” Odunze asked and Ada

raised her head immediately

”I was raped and I got pregnant!! But I can… I

can.” Ada said looking confused

”I’m sorry my dear but the day my husband

brought you here you were bleeding and lost

the pregnancy you had” Nneoma said and Ada

looked at her with a faint face but later smiled

”You mean I lost the baby” Ada asked

”Yes you did” Nneoma said and Ada hugged

her.

”Why are you happy about it?” Odunze asked as

everyone was surprised and Ada sat down again

”The chemist man that I went to treat my

wound raped me when I was unconcious and

denied me in front of the king and everyone

and I was banished. Why won’t I be happy, the

pains are gone” Ada said and they exhaled

”You have really been through alot” Chisom

said

”But I saw you bleeding the day I saved you”

Odunze said and Ada looked at him

”As I was wandering in the bushes looking for a

nearby village, two boys attacked me and raped

me forcefully.

That is all I can say because I

never knew anything else till that night I woke

up in your house” Ada said

”Chaii!! The world is wicked” Odunze said

”Nna anyi, the Igwe must hear this ooh. How

can young girls be raped in this village by two

unknown men” Nneoma said

”Well, my dear. It’s all over now, you can stay

here with us. You are safe here” Odunze said

and Ada opened her eyes happily

”Seriously??” She asked

”Yes my dear, you are one of us now” Nneoma

said and Chisom was also happy. Immediately

Ada knelt in tears thanking them.

”You don’t have to cry my dear, you have cried

enough” Nneoma said and drew her up. She

embraced her, so did Chisom and Odunze. Ada

now felt happy once again…

THE NEXT MORNING

EMETAMMA’S HOUSE

A car arrived at Emetamma’s compound and a

man on a black suit came out of the car

”Arrh.. Barrister Chuks” Emetamma said as he

came out from the house and shook hands with

him. He rushed and brought out a chair and

they sat down

”How is everything?” Emetamma asked

”Fine ooh, we are all doing fine” Chuks said

”Chaii!! City is sweet ooh, see as you are

shinning” Emetamma said touching his suit and

Barrister Chuks smiled

”Thank You Sir. How is everybody?” Barrister

Chuks asked

”Errhhm.. They went to the farm” Emetamma

said

”Oh.. I see.. What about Ada” Chuks asked and

Emetamma’s face changed to a pitiable one

”Cheii!! Ada” He exclaimed

”What.. What is it?? What happened to her??”

Chuks askeddepicting something bad

”She is dead” Emetamma said pretending to be

crying

”What??!” Chuks exclaimed

”How did it happen?” He asked

”She fell into the wrong side of the river and

died ooh” Emetamma exclaimed

”My God!” Chuks exclaimed

”So, this is how the family of Emeka is been

wiped out” Chuks added

”What about her corpse?” He asked

”No one could find it.. The river carreid it”

Emetamma said

”What a pity” Chuks said nodding his head

piteously..

”Well, let’s get to business” Emetamma said

”You know what I’m talking about” Emetamma

said

”But..” Chuks tried to say something but

Emetamma’s face changed

”No but.. It is the will of my late Brother”

Emetamma said and Chuks kept quiet but was a

bit suspicious

”Alright Sir.. I will go back to the city and sign it

all up for you. His companies and everything he

has” Chuks said and stood up

”Good, I will be waiting for your calls”

Emetamma said

”Have a nice day Sir” Chuks said and left

”Useless Lawyer. You want to spoil business for

me. Mtcheew” Emetamma said as he left..

”Nonsense..” He added and walked inside..

Chuks drove back to the city.

”Hehehe.. That small Emeka thinks he can

overthrow me in this house. His elder brother.

Who is laughing now.. Nonsense!!” Emetamma

continued talking to himself and hissing but

happy in his mind that he has successfully

gotten the wealth of his younger brother..
