Tata has woken up from slumber due to the loud praying of his mother Nwanyiure who was widowed in the war attended by her Lt. husband.Because of the way she was maltreated by some village elders who tried to pay her if she will accept to sleep with them.she gave her body to God.
Tata was inconvenient with the prayer because he joined his father's footsteps and never does he play with the god's messages and revealing." What sort of disturbance is this?every morning , I will not sleep to my satisfaction because of this your morning prayers Mama, Please reduce this your voice, it is disturbing some people who are savouring to the god's wind to sleep " Tata complained.But his mother ignored him and continued her prayers saying" lord in your hands I give all glory and in your hands I lend many complains,I hand over Tata into your able hands for you to make your name a testimony 🫸🫷😫😩 " When Tata heard to this,He immediately woke up completely and left the room for his mother and wife who sleeps like EDIABALI( a bush 🐕) . After that, Every body came out and greeted one another.Nwanyiure started admonishing her son Tata to cut asunder from idle worshipping because it was helpless and no crucial importance in once life.she continued" you better follow me to the church and fulfill God's will base on his instructions " Mama! Mama , what have I even done to you that each day you would be a barrier to me from pouring libations to my own god.Go to your church and let me be alone, and if my wife wants to join you let her cucuma do the same.I'm not pervading any body from worshipping his or her own god" Tata ended His mother angrily said " and that is why you are childless" Tata accepted the fact and persuaded them to leave him alone.
Nwanyiure left singing her best melodies.Adanna waking up lately and working sluggishly greeted her husband in a way children passes faeces to the toilet. Her husband ignored her and never talked to her that morning.
"Please I'm cooking porage plantains since there is nothing to eat" Adanna said.Her husband with little concern replied" go on now " any time he sets his eyes on her,He will get annoyed because she has not bore him a child.
In the afternoon,He called his wife* Ada Ada" sharing possible opinions with her on how to get a child" I know of a man in Eziabali who has many proficient charms that is proficient to out- stand all things considered to be a cruel circumstance " Adanna Insinuated." When reciting ABCD,will you A and jump to C " Tata said." Know now,it is only a foolish person that does such." Adanna replied.Tata" then you are a good example, Because by right we shouldn't leave the priest of our own land and start moving and begging for attention from another priest in another land " " That's right,you made a point with statistics.Then let's take an immediate action towards it" she said." I will be busy today with my customers at the river bank of Amanjo where I have many 🐟es to sell, Therefore it will be tomorrow." Tata said." That's good, you can now continue with what you were doing " said Adanna.
He continued with what he was doing. As soon as his wife ended up her long food cooking , She served her husband and her self too.
The next moment, Onuoma, Her best friend in the village paid her a surprising visit for them to continue their way of life which was gossiping people's affairs.Adanna enumerated her problems to her friend including the one she just summarized with her husband.Onuoma advised her " My dear friend, you better do it immediately because, if you waste time in this matter, your husband might decide to dump you and take up with another woman who he may think can conceive and bear him a child Manage your acquired luck because if it mistakenly fall off from your hands it may be difficult for you to kowtow and pick it up" That's a very good idea, but action towards it has already been scheduled waiting to carry it out thouroughly." Adanna said in affirmation.
They continued with their discussion.Nwanyiure met them and waved a less concerned farewell to their greetings.Onuoma continued with her gossiping " My friend, have you heard about the upcoming feast that will take place the next month" " I have not heard about it,can you let me know what that may be? " Adanna inquired." It's nothing apart from the profound promise made by the king that any dancer who would display the best in her would be the adorable wife of the prince of this kingdom Umuebelaja, And you know that without demanding for a sooth sayer, I'm the incoming wife of the prince of this kingdom.This even made my mother along side with my grandma to introduce new dancing steps to me, And as the case may be, I'm the incoming wife of the prince of this kingdom" said Onuoma Her statements made Adanna to fall in deeply into an ocean of laughter, to the point that Onuoma was so annoyed because of the laughing manner of appearance as if she was deliberating over a concept called fantasy." If you are wife to be to prince Ikem, What will Urenma' be doing.Infact, are you saying this out of dream condition? My dear, you better eliminate your mind from it because it may bring sickness to you.
Irrespective of the fact that Urenma sprang up from a poor family, it still does not matter, because natural beauty can never fade away like the morning glory flower that becomes withered after much scorching of the sun ". Adanna said.Onuona shurns her" PLS I know that you are obviously tired of our relationship, I can now take my leave." She left with great disappointment, Because that was her utmost objective of paying the visit to her closest friend Adanna who dismissed her and drove her home with her ulterances.
The next thing that happened was the returning of Tata, Adanna's husband.subsequently,He settled to eat in which he ate to his fill, Hoping to take a brief nap in the evening , His mother started complaining about his wife who gossip from morning till night instead of sorrowing on how to conceive.Nwanyiure knowing fully that Adanna will not be happy to hear that, But she continued and Tata said " Mama,I know what to do about it. Light faded on them.
The next morning, Tata and his wife set off to the shrine to visit their Ezemmuo to know the cause of their delay in child bearing.In a flicker of minutes, They approached the shrine." Hahaha, Who are the grasses standing before the Iroko, " Ezemmuo chants.But Tata replied" we are the true son and daughter of this kingdom Umuebelaja, And we have come to seek for help from the god's of our land." " Young one, you will wait for the god's to provide panacea to your complains after laying it .Now start! Ezemmuo instructed.Tara held his wife tenaciously, speaking " The god's of Umuebelaja, The one who made the blind to regain sight,The crippled to walk, we have come to gather helpful words and instructions from you, seeking that you may give us the fruit of the womb" He ended his request.Not so long , The priest which was the Ezemmuo provided the answer to them which asserted ( pointing at Adanna) Woman you will have to bathe with sand for a complete 3 day especially during night period for your stomach was made stiffed that you will not bear a child ( giving her a bottle that contained liquid substances) you will add this to your bathing water, This is agbato afo , And after doing this, After 3 days After 3 days!! You shall conceive " Ezemmuo ended and instructed them to do the needful before leaving.Tata immediately submitted 3 pieces of cowries and they made their way off.
