My Mother Inlaw đŁđ„
EPISODE 4
I donât know what happened next but I saw papa being lifted up and moved outside in a haste,mama couldnât stop shouting and cryingâŠjoy and faith kept pointing fingers and spatting at me.
I was in a trance,I keep hoping that somebody will wake me up or better still, nothing should happen to papa
âI said it!!!,I said it ooo but nobody will believe meâmama cried and sat on the floor
âBiaâŠ.if anything happens to my husband,you will regret the day your mother have birth to you!!!â
âShameless prostitute from the east,Let anything happen happen to my father firstâjoy added and i didnât show any emotions,I wasnât moved at all by their words
âKPAAA!!!!â A plank landed heavily on my back painfully and i gave out a Loud scream
âYoure forming iron Lady ba!!!how dare you poison my father in law,how dare you!!â The girl I recognised as chiamanda hit me and gave me a hard slap
I became weak and criedâŠ.yes I cried not because of the pain from the slap or plank but my
My stupidly to let someone else have accessed to the food I was preparing,my tears increased when emeka saw me sitting down on the ground with and passed me
My mother in law came and threw sand in my eyes cursing me with their language
I stood up staggering with pains in my eyes to look for water by someone held me and I felt myself being lifted up,I cried the more when I realised its emeka
âI know you didnât do it but Iâm really finding it hard to believeâŠ..I mean you were the one who served papa foodâ
âI didnât do it believe me,I will never poison papa,I swearâi cried in agony
âMy instincts tells me itâs chiamanda but who will believe me,where is the proofâŠI just hope for my dadâs recovery,the doctor said we brought him on time we were assured that heâll be fine â I sniffed and snuggled closer to him. Once papa is okay,Iâm leaving this house..this people are capable of killing.
The door burst open!!!and mama barged in and dragged me outside the outside the house, bruises and cuts were all over my skin and despite my shouts and pleadings,this woman kept dragging me on the floor
âYou locust from the pit of hell!!after killing my husband,you went over to seduce my son with your witchcraft..how dare you!!!â
Mama screamed at me and I realised I was surrounded by chiefs and clan of that community
âWoman!what type of poison did you use on his food,tell us so that weâll now the best way to heal himâone of the elders said and I broke down crying
âIâŠ.IâŠ..I
âAHH!!!ĂrĂ© mi,Ki lĂ© lĂšyi(my friend whatâs all these)â Bisi exclaimed
Bisi was the only yoruba friend i had there,she was living next compound and we share things together,she came for holiday at her grandmaâs place ,do you remember the other day I went out to cool off??âŠ.I actually went to their place
âIâm doomed!!,Iâm being accused of poisoning my father in law oooâ
âAh what rubbish na,I came to return the matches I borrowed emeka this morning I the kitchen,was it not ebuka that I saw preparing efo riro this morning
The aroma was so killing so i came over to ask you for the special ingredient you used only for me to see ebuka in the kitchen
I was very surprised that ebuka could cook and he even dropped this,I saw him putting this red seasoning in the pot and I came here to ask you why you havenât told me about itâ Bisi said and the whole place got silent
âYou say what???!!!â
âYes naâŠwhereâs ebuka sef, I even want to use it to prepare food for my grandma and uncle,I just came here to confirm from you firstâ
Every body was still in surprise until one of the elders collected the seasoning from her and confirmed that itâs a native poison
The whole crown was shaken and even mama fell on her knees crying,ebuka and emeka were not around so the chiefs postponed the meeting till evening
As for me, Iâve never felt better and stronger right now. I cleaned myself up and entered the bush to look for long fresh sticks,I gathered pieces of the sticks and sharpened the edges
I went to the market and purchased fresh pepper and grinded it in the local way
Somebody will feel my wrath
(SEMI FINALE)
âWhereâs that useless ayo of a girl!!how dare she accused meâ ebukaâs voice could be heard outside as he stomps his buffalo feet inside the kitchen
I was so unmoved by his actions that I really concentrated on my grinding,he kicked my grinding stone and the pepper away while shouting
âAre you mad?!!what did you tell the eldersâ I wasnât prepared for this but he really pushed me,I rubbed my hand on the pepper mixed with the sand and gave him a resetting slap on both cheeks
âYou are mad for pouring my pepper awayâŠif you arenât the one that poison the the food,why are you bothered?why are you scared? You didnât poison the food,fine! Wait till the elders arrive and explain yourselfâ he raised his hands to hit me but emeka barged in and pushed him away from my sight
âI will tolerate anything but you dare not lay your hands on my fiancee,I donât care if youâre my elder brother or notâŠ.I will beat you to stuporâ
âYou ingrate,so you will let a woman come in between your familyâŠwhat sort of man are you??â
âIm a man of truth and i stand for whatâs right and rebuke whatâs wrong and whatever you and mama did will soon be brought to lightâŠyou both will have to explain why you planned to poison me,oh!
You think I donât know,you people actually thought she was preparing the food for me and went over to poison the food,kudos to all of youâ emeka clapped and i stood there in shock
He dragged my hands and took me inside
âDress up to something nice,the meeting has already startedâhe sounded really hurt and wounded
âIs papa okay?âi ask
âYes ,heâs back and heâs with he eldersâhe said and i heave a sigh if relief
I want to talk to him so bad,I want to ask him how he got to know about the poison stuff but I shove it at the back of my mindâŠI will ask him when all this is over
I removed the polo and baggy shorts I was wearing into an armless long gown,I opened the door but was stunned to see Chiamanda. She almost fell down cause the position I caught her was so funnyâŠso she was eaves dropping,I smiled sweetly at her and told her to come inside ,she resisted and wanted to go back but I dragged her inside with force
âEmyâŠyou can go,I want to have a tete a tete discussion with Chi,we wonât take up to 15 minutesâ i tell him and just went out without saying a word
â Who sent you!! And why were you eavesdropping?â I asked her and she stammered
I have her a thunder slap that sent her crashing to the ground
She screamed screamed in terror,crying and pleading
âWĂł tin gba fĂł Ăłju Ăš(look if I break your eyes) you will get madder than the mad people on the streets
âPepper oo!!my eyes oo,chimooâŠhei..donât be angry NNE pls water Biko ooâ
âBiko kĂł,becombion nĂâŠif you donât start talking,the way Iâll beat you ehn,you will be the first person to enter hell fire with wheel chairâ
âBiko itâs mama oo,she was the master planner of everything to poison emeka but she didnât know that the food was for papaâŠ.she was trying to set you up oooâshe kept rubbing her eyes crying
âAh!!! Ări Ă© ti bajĂš,and you even had the mind to hit me with me with a plankâŠChi Fanta,youâre dead
Oya oya continueâ
âThatâs all ok,I just wanted to hear what you people are sayingâshe said and i kicked her out ofy room to join the meeting,I will deal with her later
The meeting was already hot as I saw ebuka kneeling and pleading for forgiveness,the poison was presented before him and he could no longer deny it
He was given a heavy fine to pay and he was to spend 6months in their community prison for attempted murder
He was given this light punishment because his father is one of the prominent elder of that community,so they couldnât kill him
Mama was the main culprit here and she didnât show any atom of remorse
Everything they did was out of pure jealousy,but I just wanted to know why she would want to poison her a son
So I curiously asked and she shouted
â EMEKAâS NOT MY SON!!! HEâS NOT MY SON!!!
