MR. ODUNZE’S COMPOUND SAME NIGHT
….”My story is a very painful one that I don’t
like to remember” Ada said as they sat round a
little fire after having dinner. Ada is now very
strong enough but still never cared to notice
her lost pregnancy
”Hmm.. My daughter, life is full of troubles and
problems my dear” Nneoma said and Ada
continued
”It all began when I lost my parents in a ghastly
motor accident..” Ada began
”My Father was taking my Mom to the hospital
when she was in labour of me, they and my
elder Brother who was still little then” Ada
added
”You have a brother?” Chisom asked
”I haven’t seen or known him, my Uncle said he
also died in the accident” Ada said and
continued
”My Father died instantly and my Mom rushed
to the hospital half dead. By Caesarean Section,
my life was saved but my Mother died” Ada
said and that was where it all began..
”My Uncle and his family maltreated me and in
the process, I wa…wa…” Ada stammered
pressing her stomach
”you were what??” Odunze asked and Ada
raised her head immediately
”I was raped and I got pregnant!! But I can… I
can.” Ada said looking confused
”I’m sorry my dear but the day my husband
brought you here you were bleeding and lost
the pregnancy you had” Nneoma said and Ada
looked at her with a faint face but later smiled
”You mean I lost the baby” Ada asked
”Yes you did” Nneoma said and Ada hugged
her.
”Why are you happy about it?” Odunze asked as
everyone was surprised and Ada sat down again
”The chemist man that I went to treat my
wound raped me when I was unconcious and
denied me in front of the king and everyone
and I was banished. Why won’t I be happy, the
pains are gone” Ada said and they exhaled
”You have really been through alot” Chisom
said
”But I saw you bleeding the day I saved you”
Odunze said and Ada looked at him
”As I was wandering in the bushes looking for a
nearby village, two boys attacked me and raped
me forcefully.
That is all I can say because I
never knew anything else till that night I woke
up in your house” Ada said
”Chaii!! The world is wicked” Odunze said
”Nna anyi, the Igwe must hear this ooh. How
can young girls be raped in this village by two
unknown men” Nneoma said
”Well, my dear. It’s all over now, you can stay
here with us. You are safe here” Odunze said
and Ada opened her eyes happily
”Seriously??” She asked
”Yes my dear, you are one of us now” Nneoma
said and Chisom was also happy. Immediately
Ada knelt in tears thanking them.
”You don’t have to cry my dear, you have cried
enough” Nneoma said and drew her up. She
embraced her, so did Chisom and Odunze. Ada
now felt happy once again…

THE NEXT MORNING
EMETAMMA’S HOUSE
A car arrived at Emetamma’s compound and a
man on a black suit came out of the car
”Arrh.. Barrister Chuks” Emetamma said as he
came out from the house and shook hands with
him. He rushed and brought out a chair and
they sat down
”How is everything?” Emetamma asked
”Fine ooh, we are all doing fine” Chuks said
”Chaii!! City is sweet ooh, see as you are
shinning” Emetamma said touching his suit and
Barrister Chuks smiled
”Thank You Sir. How is everybody?” Barrister
Chuks asked
”Errhhm.. They went to the farm” Emetamma
said
”Oh.. I see.. What about Ada” Chuks asked and
Emetamma’s face changed to a pitiable one
”Cheii!! Ada” He exclaimed
”What.. What is it?? What happened to her??”
Chuks askeddepicting something bad
”She is dead” Emetamma said pretending to be
crying
”What??!” Chuks exclaimed
”How did it happen?” He asked
”She fell into the wrong side of the river and
died ooh” Emetamma exclaimed
”My God!” Chuks exclaimed
”So, this is how the family of Emeka is been
wiped out” Chuks added
”What about her corpse?” He asked
”No one could find it.. The river carreid it”
Emetamma said
”What a pity” Chuks said nodding his head
piteously..
”Well, let’s get to business” Emetamma said
”You know what I’m talking about” Emetamma
said
”But..” Chuks tried to say something but
Emetamma’s face changed
”No but.. It is the will of my late Brother”
Emetamma said and Chuks kept quiet but was a
bit suspicious
”Alright Sir.. I will go back to the city and sign it
all up for you. His companies and everything he
has” Chuks said and stood up
”Good, I will be waiting for your calls”
Emetamma said
”Have a nice day Sir” Chuks said and left
”Useless Lawyer. You want to spoil business for
me. Mtcheew” Emetamma said as he left..
”Nonsense..” He added and walked inside..
Chuks drove back to the city.
”Hehehe.. That small Emeka thinks he can
overthrow me in this house. His elder brother.
Who is laughing now.. Nonsense!!” Emetamma
continued talking to himself and hissing but
happy in his mind that he has successfully
gotten the wealth of his younger brother..
