"What is it now? Are you chasing me? You just got home the other day. I need to spend more time with you." "I don't need any slut's company." Her heart seemed to stop at the outrageous word he used to refer to her and she regarded him with a long suffering expression. “What did you just say?" She was now offended. "You are crossing the line with these jokes.” “Do I seem like joking?” “Wha..what? You must be out of your mind. Why? What is going on? Are you throwing me away?” Becky wailed confused.

Enough is enough

Becky strode gracefully along a narrow path. A twenty litre barrel of water lay on her back, held steadily in place by a robe wound around it and looped about her head. Her upper body slightly leaned forward, and her eyes were glued to the path on which she trod. When she raised her head a little, to have a good view of the way, her eyes caught a glimpse of Pabonya, her husband’s venerable paternal uncle. She tensed but kept her eyes on her path and kept walking. When she sensed that she was very close to him, she looked up again and met his gaze. He was leaning against the fence, his arms folded across his chest. She noticed a weird smirk in his austere façade and her heart sunk in a sickening plunge. There was a marked difference in the way Pabonya had been treating her lately. And it sucked. Their recent meetings had been as discomforting as meeting a swarm of angry bees. “Why don’t you listen?” Pabonya started so suddenly that Becky gasped despite having anticipated this. "

UNFINISHED BUSINESS

Fifteen minutes later, he stood at the gateway to Becky's compound. Much to his surprise, smoke spewed out of one of the houses that served as a kitchen; a sign that she was already awake. He scanned the compound and at first, he could not see any sign of her, then he moved closer, and she came into view bent down next to a chicken coop, her back to him, washing dishes. Becky soon heard the footsteps, stood upright and turned around to face him. She paced aside from the dishes and wiped her hands dry against the leso wrapped around her lower body from the waist. She intended to shake his hand. And so, with a smile lighting up her face, she boisterously extended her hand towards him; a courteous and polite gesture. Pabonya had not expected to be treated to such a welcome sight. But still, he would not be easily entertained. He did not take her hand. Instead, he just stood still staring hard at her, a look of disdain in his eyes. This act reminded Becky how she had crossed paths with h

Nightfall visit

Pabonya retraced his steps to his house, his heart filled with rage. He no longer walked with an air of superiority. For he had failed to achieve the purpose of his visit to Becky’s house and that had taken away the feeling of self-importance from him. Where was that all-powerful and infallible elder whose utterances became the unquestionable law? With all the effort he had applied, not a shred of intimidation had been shown in Becky. It was incredible how she had treated him to a reception of condescendence and disparagement. For several years of his existence, he had never come across a woman, born or married to the clan trying to challenge the elders’ endeavors to guide and direct the younger generation. Becky seemed to have taken him as her equal and managed to instill a feeling of inferiority within him. He soon got back home, his breakfast was ready. His wife, Tabutany, had set a table for him. But he was in no mood for food. He sat down and was soon lost in his thoughts. Wh

She felt like running up to him. But she exercised a lot of restraint and just kept walking.Tesot, sensing footsteps approach turned around. His eyes widened and a smile came upon his face. He handed his son back to the maid and moved towards his wife. He stretched out hi

First Deliberation

The clan elders gathered in Rebecca’s hut. They had heeded Pabonya’s call. Caring for the clan, none of them would ignore an invitation to deliberate on any problem affecting it. Pabonya had made it known to them that Tesot was around and had convinced them to accommodate his participation in their meeting. Tesot was taking long appearing. And they did not wish to begin in his absence. Pabonya alternately glanced at his wrist watch and at the entrance door hoping he would not keep them waiting for too long. Soon, footsteps were heard from outside and every eye gazed at the door. He came in and went around the room shaking hands with each one of them. When he finally sat, an immense silence reigned. Any keen observer would not have failed to feel the tension in that room. They looked at one another as if unsure what the next move would be. Pabonya irritably tapped a gentle rhythm on the table with his fingernails. Did they fear Tesot? Were they afraid of offending him? Tesot w

Seperation

Becky saw his young brother-in-law come running towards her. “I was sent to call you," He said when he got to her. He was breathing heavily. "Tesot said he wants to see you now.” Her curiosity was instantly sparked. But she saw no need for alarm. They were in good terms with her husband. He had freely permitted her to attend this ceremony and she had been constantly anticipating his joining her.She followed the brother-in-law.Her husband was seated in a couch in the living room when she arrived at her house and stood at the threshold. His gloomy face sent a wave of fear up Becky. Definitely he had something weighty in his mind.“Honey!" she said nervously stepping in, "Is it something you couldn’t find?” "First, tell me where my son is.""Why? I left him with the girl, our house help." “Good!" He said softly and quietly. The position of his face had not shifted towards her even when she was so close to him. "You are leaving.”“What do you mean am leaving?”“I want you

Becky Pleads

Her tear gland must have dried out. No more tears came for she had been crying for long. She had blown her nose over and over that it was beginning to get sore. She was torturing herself searching for answers she would never find. How would she move on from here? Her life would be totally screwed up without him. She would be wretched. He was the only reason she breathe. In Tesot, she had found the greatest satisfaction of her life. She had found a man of her dreams, perfect in every sense, meeting every bit of component of an ideal husband of her childhood fantasies. She had found love much more fulfilling than anything. She lamented her inaction. There had been signs to forewarn her of a dark and threatening day like this. Pabonya had warned her. Yet she had been stupid enough to be blinded in the knowledge of being loved and accepted; to naively and quickly write off his threat. How she now wished she had shared her ailments with Tesot early. She could have made it known to him

Condemned is heard

Pabonya did not want to be late. It was his day. He had known from the very beginning that he was capable of handling a woman nearly three times younger than himself. The witnesses he had procured had nailed it. He had called in the evening of the day their testimony was heard to commend them for executing their roles so perfectly. Two weeks had passed since Becky was sent away. Her father had agreed to sit down with the elders of Kapsoket clan and hear the case. And Pabonya would need those women to to make Sigilai see things in the same perspective as most people have been made to. Many of the clan members had learned of Becky’s predicament. Aware that this would be the final adjudication of the case, they had turned out in their numbers to follow the case.Pabonya arrived at Rebecca’s compound where the trial would take place. He observed with great satisfaction that everything was in place. Chairs had been arranged in a semi-circular pattern under a large tree its branches s

Rebecca's Take

Rebecca was the only woman in the panel. Tabutany had been around. But Pabonya had made sure that she kept herself busy cooking for the guest. He had sent clear instruction to her not to make any attempt of showing her face in the meeting. Rebecca was invited to give an opinion and suggest recommendations. All a long she had sat and listened without a word."I want to thank you all for your concern,” she began. “You, no doubt had more important duties to attend but you chose to be here. And I know it is because of the love for the family, left under my hands by my late husband and for the love you have for my first-born son, Tesot. It is evident that you are doing this with a lot of goodwill and intention. On my own behalf and on behalf of my family I say Thank you very much.” With that she paused a moment."About Becky," she continued her eyelashes lowering as she considered what she was about to say. “I don't know what to say.” She could not hold back her tears. She never had
