**
Even Emetamma and Nwanneka was confused..
”Ken, you took advantage of me when two
people brought me here for you to treat my
wounds” Ada said
”That must be in your dream Ada” Ken kept on
denying
”If you say so, who treated her wounds?”
Nwanneka asked
”Maazi, I closed my shop and went home one
certain night. On coming back the next
morning, I saw Ada in my shop crying. I saw the
wounds on her and had pity on her. I treated
her the wounds without collecting any money
knowing that her Father was my good friend
when he was alive. So Nna anyi, tell me, how
did I put her in a family way” Ken sophisticated
his words to make them believe. As he lied,
Ada’s tears increased
”Ada, so you brought me here to insult me”
Emetamma said slapping Ada
”Please take it easy on her Nna anyi” Ken said
behaving like a good person
”You will follow us to the palace because the
Igwe must hear this” Emetamma said to Ken
”Alright” Ken agreed immediately to avoid
suspicion and he began to close his shop
”Ken, please say the truth..” Ada kept saying in
tears
”Shut up!” Emetamma slapped her again and
Ada’s face swelled up a bit.
”Let’s go Nna anyi” Ken said and they dragged
Ada to the palace…

AT THE PALACE
The elders were already at the Palace
discussing with the Igwe about what happened
in Ada’s house the previous day. Still on their
conversation, they heard noises from the gate,
so they all stood and walked outside. On taking
a closer look, it wad Emetamma, his family and
some villagers walking in and Ada in tears.. He
lifted up his hand as they came closer and they
all kept quiet, only Ada’s sober tears was heard.
” You can now go” Igwe said to the villagers and
they all left.
”Maazi, what is it?” Igwe asked
”Igwe, please let’s talk about this inside”
Emetamma requested and they all walked in.
As they walked in Lolo came into the council
room and joined them as she felt it to be an
interesting matter although she hasn’t known
Ada. Ada knelt before everybody and Ken stood
beside her with a pretending angry face while
others sat down.

”What’s that noise outside?’ Onochie asked
Charles who was busy with his phone
”I guess those villagers stuff” Charles replied
”No, I don’t think so. I feel something” Onochie
said and Charles looked at him.
”Alright, let’s go check it out” Charles said and
they began to go down to the council room
*
”Igwe, I greet you. May your reign never end”
Emetamma greeted
”Please ask this thing kneeling down here who
impregnated her” Emetamma said and the
room became noisy as everybody was
surprised
”What!!?? Pregnant?” Igwe asked thinking it was
Onochie his Son but Emetamma cleared his
thoughts
”She claimed that this young man here
impregnated her, but he said he is not
responsible” Emetamma said pointing at Ken
and Igwe’s mind got relaxed
”Ada” Igwe called
”Who is responsible for the pregnancy?’ Igwe
asked. Immediately Igwe asked the question,
Onochie and Charles arrived and they
overheard it
”What???’ Onochie’s voice sounded from behind
”Impregnated who?” He asked and walked
towards Ada
”Ada, what happened?” Onochie asked but Ada
said nothing
”Onochie, repect the elders here and sit down”
Onowu said and Onochie obeyed unwillingly.
”Now speak Ada” Igwe said and Ada explained
everything in tears. As she concluded, Ken
attacked her words
”Igwe, it’s a big lie” Ken said and explained
exactly what he told Emetamma in his shop and
Igwe was confused
”Dad, you don’t have to believe this young man
here, he must have done exactly what Ada said
here” Onochie solicited for Ada
”Keep quiet Son” Igwe said taking it as an
opportunity to take Ada out of the sight of
Onochie
”Can you swear an oath to this both of you”
Igwe asked
”Yes I will Igwe” Ken said immediately and
Igwe looked at Ada
”What about you Ada?” Igwe asked
”Igwe, I am a Christian and I don’t take oaths”
Ada said
”Then it is true that you are lying against this
young man here” Igwe said supported by the
elders
”Ada, take the oath to show them that you are
saying the truth” Onochie said and Lolo
suspected his actions towards the case
”Since you won’t prove your innocence, I will
thereby give my judgement” Igwe said and
Onochie felt depressed and betrayed.
”I trusted you Ada!! You betrayed me!” Onochie
said and left immediately followed by Charles
”You have only 5 days to leave this village
peacefully till that bastard you have in your
womb is either eliminated or given birth to.
And also, you are not allowed to mingle with
anybody in these five days” Igwe said
”That is my judgement!” Igwe concluded
”Igwe!!!” They all bowed down and began to
depart one after the other. Emetamma and his
family went home leaving Ada behind.
Ada looked at Ken with tears in her eyes but
Ken never felt pity on her. He greeted the Igwe
and left. Ada in tears stood up and starred at
the Igwe for some time and she left.
