It is already the 31st day. A day before the new year. Chima brought drinks and fried meats home. He Called Ada and Somto and kneel before them and begged for forgiveness. Without wasting of time Ada and Somto forgave him.
Chima went to his Dad and gave him his favorite drink, soya milk. And went to his mother and gave her stout the brand she likes but his mother who has not regained from the shock Uzo’s mother gave her still seated and supports her jaw with her hand.
What is wrong with Mama, she has been quiet since yesterday. Did she tell anyone what is wrong with her? Chima who went and gave her drink asked Ada and Somto.
I think her friends made her angry because her mood changed immediately after she finished seeing them off yesterday. Ada said.
Ada and her siblings became one lovely family again.
Headmîs anyî (our headmistress) Ada called her mother and started laughing at the name she called her. Mama didn’t you hear the name I called you? The name didn’t even fit my mouth. Mama, I’ve never seen you looking this dull before, what is the problem? Ada asked her mother with so much concern
I’m fine nwa’m (I’m fine my child) Ada’s mom calmly said with her two hands folded in her front and her face glued on the ground.
Mama, you are not looking fine to me. You are supposed to be happy that we and Chima have settled our differences but you are not.
Ada, I will be back. Keep this drink Chima brought before it breaks. Ada’s mom said and stood up and left.
Ada’s mom went to Biaty’s house. One of her friends, and complained to her about her encounter with Uzo’s mother and told her she is so sure it was Ngozi who went on that mission.
Biaty, could not believe it she had to call them all on the phone to come to her house for something important. It wasn’t up to an hour before they all gathered in Biaty’s house.
Oh, headmîss is here before me. Headmîss that goes late in all the occasions came early today. Nawà ooh that means rain will fall. Ngozi teased headmîstréss but indirectly said the truth.
Headmistress did not respond to the joke unlike her that would have fired back.
Headmistress brought a complaint…
Sorry for interrupting you Biaty. Ngozi, I should be the one to ask you this not Biaty. Ngozi, I went to Papalolo Afonta’s compound I was shocked by what his wife told me you came to her house to say. I was disappointed because I never knew you of all people could do this to me, me your best friend. Headmistress who wasn’t unsure who went to Papalolo’s compound sounded so sure because she knows someone from their cycle embarked on the mission.
Hold it there madam headmistress! So Papalolo’s wife didn’t tell you we were two that came to her house? I and Nkoli went so why will I be the only person you are facing here? Ngozi said.
Why will she call my name ain’t you the person that engineered everything? You suggested we go there. Nkoli confessed.
Ngozi, you are evîl! For you to do this to your friend you are capable of anything. So this is who you are?
Who am I? I’m asking you headmîs? What did I do to you that you have not done to other people? We all are in this together don’t forget. It is what we do to other people so why are you so pained? Oh! You want your daughter to marry a rich person when you are blocking rich men from marrying others. Lie! Lie! We all here
our daughters who are married, married in this village. Some of our daughters, rich men once came for their hand in marriage but at some point, they withdrew from coming. I know one of us here if not two people were blocking it. Rich men come marriage will not hold but when a poor man comes marriage holds. Who is deceiving who? Let your daughter marry the way others did if she can’t let her go and buy a husband since you claim she has money.
Ngozika, your voice is loud people are in my house they will hear what you are saying. Biaty said trying to calm Ngozi down while héadmîstress is still raising her voice to talk to Ngozi.
People should hear me. Is that not why you called for this meeting in your house if not you wouldn’t have because this is what we do to other people’s children. Ngozi fired at Biaty.
Please, you all should leave my house before you got me implicated. Leave, please! Biaty angrily walked all of them out.
Now I understand the adage that says he who dines and wines with the devîl should always use a longer spoon. I should have known this before now. I’m glad this happened on the last day of the year. None of you here will remain in my life from tomorrow. Headmîs said and walked out.
Ada’s mom got home and called everyone including Gift Somto’s girlfriend and Njideka her house help for a brief meeting. They were seated around where Ada’s father usually sits.
I called my beautiful family together today because today is the last day of the year. I want us to do what we have been missing as a family. Chima I know you will love to attend cross-over mass but I want us all to cross over with prayer as one big family together here. We know a family that prays together stays together. So tonight we will fight against every spirit of disagreement in our family let it not cross over with us. Pray that God should expose all our unfriendly friends and make us love one another. This night every one of us will bring prayer points each. Happy new year in advance ndi nke(my people) Ada’s mom said.
Mama because of what you just said now, chéré kwéré(wait and take) Somto puts his hand inside his pocket and brought out new currency, and started spraying on his mother. Chima joined and did the same.
Njideka and Gift were picking up the money that was been sprayed on Ada’s mother.
Mama, I don’t have money on me to spray on you now but tomorrow I will buy a big life turkey for you. You know it’s your favorite. Happy new year to you in advance mama. Ada said and hugged her mother.
