My mother came inside our house fuming. She went and sat down on an old chair with her right hand on her cheek.
Me: mummy, chinedu has come again oo, he is insulting me for..
Mum; shut up and get out of my sight now.
Me: shocked
that’s the first time my mother was speaking to me in such a manner. I just turned back, got to the kitchen where I picked my basket of peppers and left for the market.
Mum: Idris!
Mum: Idris!! Idris!!!
I didn’t answer her, I just went on my way.
……………………………………………………………….
EVENING OF SAME DAY…
I got back from the market. I kept my basket outside our house and entered inside. My mum was inside her room taking care of my dad.
Me: mum, these is the money I made from today’s sale.
I said and gave her the little money I made. She collected it from me. I was about to leave when she held my hand.
Mum: Idris!
Me: strong face yes mum.
Mum: please don’t be angry at me for shouting at you today. I went to your uncle’s house and what happened their really made me mad. Sorry I shouted at you.
Me: with a smile you are… Lemme think, you are…
Mum: spank me a little on my head common, don’t be a naughty boy.
Me: ok, you are forgiven. Go and sin no more.
Mum: hahahahaha. Funny Idris. I really love you and I won’t do anything to hurt you again. Come and give mummy a big hug.
I got to where she was and gave her a big hug with a huge smile on her face.
When I was through hugging her, I held my dad’s hand and caressed it a little.
Me: common dad, I know you are strong and I know you will survive this one day…
Mum: Amen. Now go and have your dinner before going to bed.
Me: thank you mum.
EARLY MORNING
NEXT DAY…
We were woken up by loud noises. Mazi Uche brought three hefty guys with him. It was as if they were preparing for war.
Mazi Uche: yes, this is the house, enter inside and bring out all the particulars and papers of the lands they have.
Boys: yes sir.
They said and rushed into our house.
