“You said my mind.” The elders said in unison.“I got it.” Emma pointed out. “Thank you for the compliment.”It was obvious that the testimony of the burial of Beck would remain in the memory of the people for a long time. Now, there were over fifty elders in his compound, while the youths were innumerable. They actually came to sincerely cheer him up, but his nieces had a different opinion. They saw them as guests and treated them as such. Soon, the caterer served them with a special fruit juice, which was strange to them. It was a mixture of watermelon, carrot, and pineapple. They relished it and commended. Before they were through with the juice, they were served with cabeza, which was spiced with native ingredients. Nevertheless, the merriment was unending.“Oliver,” Ada called out.“Yes, aunty,” he answered and walked to her.“I learned that you shared the souvenirs in the field.”“Yes Aunty.”“Good, do we have leftovers?”“Yes. There are many of them, and we had offloaded them.”
Before the couples got downstairs, they had set the table and waited for them. Soon, everyone took their seats at the dining table, and Uncle Emma declared the dinner open. This time, Oliver had a seat at the table. Now, Uncle Emma began to wash his hands and he recalled that those hands had a handshake with the governor and other dignitaries, and teased. “Thank you, my in-laws, for the opportunity to have a handshake with the number one citizen of the state. I wish I won't have to wash my hands anymore.”They laughed happily and Oliver relished the joke.“Big Uncle, I saw you on the television,” Regan pointed out.“Me?” The bewildered Emma asked anxiously.“Yes, when you shook hands with the dignitaries,”“Even when you were walking in and displaying your new walking stick up and down.”At that point, Emma could not restrain himself from laughing because he was certain that he truly displayed his new cane out of proportion.“When was the event aired? I would have loved to watch it. I
“Baby, get up. It is time for dinner.” He announced after he gave her a peck. She opened her eyes slowly, and he helped her to get up. He walked her to the dining table and they took their seats.“Thank you, dear,” Susan appreciated. He opened the dishes, and they began to eat. “Do you like it?” Tony asked after she took the first spoon.“Yes. The hotel cooks very well.”“You are correct. You must be a good cook. Am I right.” Tony remarked, and looked into her eyes. She smiled and asked, “Why do you think so?”“My instinct tells me.”“Your instinct is correct. Permit me to ask, what is your favorite food.”“My favorite food is Susan,” he responded quickly and watched her laughing happily.“So, what will be my favorite food?”“Me.” He pointed out and laughed softly.“Let me eat you as much as I can before we depart.”She got up from her seat and gave him an affectionate kiss. Thereafter, she took her seat and Tony appreciated, “Thank you for eating me again.”“It gives me pleasure eat
“She is such a cute baby,” Francis pointed out. “Just like me,” Flora teased. They laughed softly and Felly announced, “Now that you are here, you will be their companions. I will return with her dinner when I'm done.”“It is okay, big sister,” Francis agreed.“I got it, big sister. When will they be discharged?” Flora asked.“I wouldn't know until her husband returns. See you later.”“It is okay.”Felly and her husband walked out of the ward, but Terry, whose job was obvious, steadied his eyes on the baby.“Terry, you can join your parents. I will help you to protect the baby until you come back.”Howbeit, the excited Terry got down from the bed when he was convinced that the baby was safe.“Thank you, for your help, Aunty Flora,” he greeted and followed his parents. When the midwife noticed that they had gone, she returned to the ward. Now, the baby had soiled her diaper, and was restless. So, Flora picked her from the cot and began to attend to her.“She had soiled her diaper,” Flo
Now, Sharon picked interest in their discussions and looked on.“Hello, Felix. What's up?”“Is she ill? Why is she sleeping too much?”Felly took another look at Sharon, and studied her outlook before she replied, “She is up, and she is breastfeeding the baby.”“I can give him a call,” Sharon volunteered when she perceived that he was distressed. Then, Felly informed, “She will give you a call now.”“Okay,” Felix accepted and cut the call at once. Then, Sharon adjusted the baby and dialed his number. Nevertheless, all eyes were on her. She watched the phone ring and waited for him to pick.“Hello, my baby. How are you?” He greeted.“I'm good, dear. You sounded worried.”“Yes, I am. How do you feel?”“I am good. There is nothing to worry about. Okay?”“I see. How is the baby?”“She is fine, and missing you.”“Tell her I miss her too. I will be with you tomorrow.”“Tomorrow? We can't wait.”“It is all right. I love you two.”“We love you too.”“Let me speak with Flora.”“It's okay. Aft
He asked and looked into her eyes. She smiled and nodded her head shyly.“I’m glad that I satisfied you, but I’m not satisfied,” he pointed out, and the sex starved Susan, who believed that it was their last, satisfied him and pleasured herself too.The Next Day – At the VillageThe two families were set to leave for the airport that morning, and Oliver was fifty thousand Naira, richer.“Take this for your help, Oliver,” Evans declared when he handed the cash to him.“Thank you, our in-law. I'm glad to know that you found me helpful. Safe trip.” Oliver appreciated“You're welcome. Uncle Emma and Frank would tell you the next thing to do.”“Okay Sir.” He walked up to George, Lilian, David, and Austin and gave them a parting hug.“I will miss you all,” he lamented. “We shall see you soon,” George pointed out, but Oliver did not take it to heart.At 7:30 AM, they left followed by the police van, leaving two police men behind. Now, the news about their departure was widely spread, especia
Now, Oliver was disadvantaged. He would not want the miscreants to harm the city children, who he presumed could not defend themselves. As for him, he was used to village life.“What is the meaning of this, Peter? How did I betray you?” The vigilant Oliver asked.“What is his offense,” the maid blurted.“Stay out of this,” Peter warned the maid, and said despicable things about Oliver, and tried to goad him into a fight.“Let's go,” Oliver signaled to the children.“Why? We are not through with our fruit hunting,” Joe pointed out, and continued eating the unwashed fruits. Now, Oliver was scared. Not of Peter, but of the safety of the youngsters in his care.Unknown to Oliver, Joe, and Regan had studied the three youths from their vantage point, and mapped out their attack strategies. “Do you want to work out on us?” Peter asked and inched closer to Oliver, and to their perturbation, the two city boys rushed at them, and gave them hand strikes on their necks and faces, and they momenta
Meanwhile, all the moments were captured by the voluntary photographers around. Afterward, she collected the sleeping baby and laid her back on the cot. Then he scanned her and remarked, “I can see that you are good.”“Yes dear.”Then, Felix looked at the dazed and confused doctor, and requested, “If there are no issues, doctor, I would not mind if you discharge them now.”“It is all right. In the next thirty minutes, you would leave.” Now, the midwife began to plan their departure at once.“It's okay. Thank you, doctor.”“You are welcome. Kindly come with me,” Dr. Micah said, and took a step.“It is all right.” The two walked out of the ward for the doctor's office. He ensured that he got the specimen that he needed for the deoxyribonucleic acid test.At the Village“This is profanity, and the transgressors must be called on the carpet,” Emma pointed out when Oliver and the youngsters ran back home and explained what happened.“Mr. Aaron, I am delighted that none of the children were
