Atika was not offended with Olamma’s lazy attitude instead he began to teach her what to do every morning and the rest of the day. He made sure he kept her busy. He gives her time for her hand massage and medicine and also time to rest.
Olamma was beginning to learn, she wakes every morning and sweeps the compound, she makes fire and warn up the food. She goes to a nearby stream and fetch water. She was learning fast.
Atika was proud of her and encourage her more.
He went to his village one day, living her alone. He later returned same day with his wife and son and introduced Olamma to them.
Atika’s wife was very friendly, she took Olamma back to the village. She gave her some new wrapper and makes her hair for her. Olamma stayed indoor and hardly come out because of her face. But Atika’s wife asked her to feel at home. The children were nice to her too. After few months of Olamma living with Atika and his family it was time to go home.
She wish she can live with them and not go back home at all. Atika did a serious cleansing on her and even the open injury on her hand has closed up and formed a keloid scar. Which was swollen out. her skin was sapped and looked different from the injury. Her voice was better off than before.
Atika said that is the best he can do. And is a good thing that the wound finally closed up from where Onrah draws out Olamma’s blood to empower himself.
She has different scar but was happy that Atika was able to heal her life threatening injuries. She wish she can continue living with them but it was time to go.
She has already told Atika the village she came from and a day came and they decided to journey down.
Olamma thanked Atika and his wife for accommodating and taking care of her before she left with Atika who wanted to make sure she gets home safe.
Her fear and heart beat increased as they got near to her village which took them many days to arrive.
She was worried and afraid. Not knowing what to expect. This was not how she planned her life and definitely not the way her father and mother expect her to return.
She was no more beautiful. And her skin looks tamed but she hope that the love her parents have for her will not disappear when they set eyes on her. If she narrate her story to them they should be happy that she was alive and not dead in the animals’ belly.
Olamma swallowed hard as she walked down with Atika the kind dibia.
