THE NEXT MORNING
Odunze’s House*
Odunze left very early that morning to check
on his trap. Nneoma was preparing for work.
Ada and Chisom went to the stream to fetch
water…
Nneoma was sweeping the house when she
heard the noise of a car. She came out to see a
Black Lexus Car. Initially, she was afraid for she
was the only one at home but she picked up
courage gathering momentum to shout in case
if it was kidnappers. She stood with the broom
in her hand and looked at the car.
Onochie and
Charles alighted from the car followed by Dike,
Nnenna and another guard. On coming down
from the car, Onochie and Charles looked
around the environment. They walked closer to
Nneoma and she recognised their faces
”Good Morning Mama” Onochie greeted
followed by Charles
”Good Morning my Children” Nneoma
reciprocated
”I guess you to be Nurse Nneoma” Onochie
asked
”Yes I am, hope there is no problem” Nneoma
asked
”No.. No.. No Problem, we just came to see
you Ma” Charles said
”Then come inside” Nneoma ushered them in
”Sorry, but that won’t be necessary” Onochie
said and made a sign to the guards and Nnenna.
They opened the boot of the car and began to
bring out the things inside it. As they were
bringing them, Nneoma opened her mouth
wide in surprise..
”What are all these for??” Nneoma asked them
”This is for your good works Ma.. You took care
of my father and also the Girl that helped my
father” Onochie said
”And also, the other one there is for the Lady
incase if she by any means comes by” Charles
said pointing at the other end of the little
staircase
”And also don’t hesitate to inform us when next
you see her. She will still be rewarded”
Onochie said
”Thank you My Prince” Nneoma said
”All these for me” Nneoma said happily smiling
”We have to be on our way now” Onochie said…
Still on his speech, the gate cracked open, Ada
and Chisom were back from the stream. They
entered and Ada sited Onochie and Charles..
Immediately she followed the back part of the
house. Chisom understanding her actions
comported herself and walked through the
front door
”Good Morning” Chisom greeted but didn’t look
at them as she was carrying a heavy gallon of
water on her head.
”Welcome my daughter” Nneoma said and
smiled
”Alright my Children, thank you very much”
Nneoma said again dismissing them
”Who is she?” Onochie asked looking at Chisom
”Ooh.. She is my daughter” Nneoma said
”I see.. I thought it was the good Samaritan
Lady” Onochie said
”Thank you for your time Madam” Charles said
and they entered the car and drove out.
Immediately they drove out, Ada came out
”Are they gone??” Ada asked
”Yes they are My dear” Nneoma said and Ada
walked out completely
”What are all these for Mama?” Chisom asked
”For what we did for the Igwe their father..
Ada, that is yours” Nneoma said to Ada pointing
at what the Prince brought for ‘The Good
Samaritan Girl’. Ada looked at it and snubbed
”I’m not taking that Mama” Ada said and they
jumped up
”Why?” Nneoma and Chisom asked together
”Because I don’t need it” Ada said and her
mood became sad again
”Ada… Ada… Stop all this” Nneoma said with a
low voice walking towards Ada as she felt her
feelings
”It’s time you forget about your past and face
the Present. They misjudged you and hurt you,
but you have to forgive them” Nneoma’s words
melted the heart of Ada and she reluctantly
accepted.
”That’s my Girl” Nneoma said and they smiled
”Mama, you would have allowed her reject it
let me take it all.. See fini fine clothes and she
dey do shakara” Chisom said and they all
laughed
”Naughty Girl.. Come let’s take these things
inside” Ada said to Chisom and their laughter
continued..
Nneoma seeing she was late for work hurriedly
prepared and left immediately having in mind
to reply to the Doctor’s Query Letter.
She rushed into the hospital of which she was
already 1 Hour Late.. As She entered, the
receptionist dropped a message for her
”The Doctor Wants To See You” The
Receptionist said and Nneoma’s mind skipped.
She quietly entered the doctor’s office
”Good Morning Sir” She Greeted and the
Doctor looked at her
”Good Morning dear, how are you??” Doctor
asked
”I’m fine Sir.. Sir I..” Nneoma tried to explain
but the Doctor interrupted
”Don’t worry my dear” Doctor said and handed
her a letter. Nneoma shivering took the letter
thinking it was a sack letter. She collected it and
tried opening it. The Doctor was smiling at her
odd face but Nneoma’s mind wasn’t with her
anymore. She opened the letter and read.
After reading, she began to smile bit by bit
”But Sir, I’m not yet due for a Leave Rest” She
said
”It was an order from the Prince” Doctor said
”What Prince??” Nneoma asked
”The one you saw yesterday” Doctor said
”What??!!” Nneoma exclaimed
