The Oba was just rounding up his meeting with his chiefs when Akinlabi got to the palace. Brimming with excitement, he approached the guards and said, "I want to see Kabiyesi." Akinlabi is a very popular figure in the village, even among the guards. The guards parted ways as he came in through both the first gate and the second gate. With a lightning speed he hurriedly rushed into the palace to tell the Oba the news of his baby. With much glee, Akinlabi started prostrating from thirty yards to the throne, much to the amazement of the Oba, and somewhat amusement to some of the chiefs. With a loud voice he did paid his homage, "Kabiyesi, Oba Orimogunje. K'ade o pe lori, ki bata o pe lese, k'ase o pe lenu. May you live longer than your fathers. May your enemies wax old and worthless like a rag. Oba Orimogunje, second-in-command to the gods, thee I greet." With a subtle-yet-composed voice, the Oba replied, "To what do I owe this pleasant visit from my dear son Akinlabi, the son of my late friend Akingbola? Arise, the Oba greets thee." Akinlabi responded, "My lord, the gods smiled on me today. My ancestors brought their eternal blessings, and my father, Akingbola, filled my heart with joy." "Enough of the parables my son! What joy befell thee today that almost rendered you a lunatic?" The Oba asked. "My lord, today I bid goodbyes to the company of the childless. Now I join the network of the fatherhood. My wife, Awele, has been delivered of a baby girl this morning." Akinlabi replied. The Oba arose from his throne, raised Akinlabi to his feet, embraced him and said, "Congratulations my son. May the gods be with your child. May she become the mother of all mothers." All the chiefs sounded in one rapturous accord, "Ase." After this, the Oba beckoned on two of his guards, whispered into their ears and made way to his throne. While the chiefs interrogated Akinlabi, the guards returned with sacks of money, two he-goats and a fine aso oke. Oba Orimogunje cleared his voice, beckoned on Akinlabi and said, "My son, I promised myself the day your father Akingbola died that, I will always take care of you and look out for you; one of which is your unhindered entry into the palace, a privilege every other subject has in this village, except my chiefs. Besides, I have always seen you as one of my sons. So, here is my little gift in honour of your first child. They shall be delivered directly to your compound this very hour." After those words, Oba Orimogunje gestured to the guards, and soon, they left the palace for Akinlabi's house. Not knowing what to say, Akinlabi prostrated on the floor thanking the Oba. This goes on for several minutes until the Oba asked him to stop and go home. Rising up from the floor, Akinlabi, with enormous joy on his face, left the palace amidst singing and dancing all by himself. IGBOBUNMI Akinlabi felt no need to hurry home. His wife is in company of good and trusted maids he reasoned. The name of his favourite maid is Igbobunmi, the girl he brought home from the forest during one of his night hunting. Akinlabi was on his way home after a rather frustrating hunt when he saw a baby wrapped in leaves by the road side. At first he was terrified and asked what kind of a woman would leave her child here all alone by herself in this thick forest. Later, the thought that the mother might have been attacked by a wild animal began to creep into his crowded mind. At first, he taught of walking away from the baby. But as fate would have it, suddenly, as if a magnet was drawing him closer to the baby, he turned around. When looked at his left and right, and no sign that someone might have dropped the baby there, he picked up the baby and left for home. That day made it exactly eighteen years since Igbobunmi has been faithfully serving Akinlabi. She has grown to become a beautiful damsel worthy of the richest man in Kilanko Village as wife. So adorable was Igbobunmi that Ogunmola, one of Akinlabi closest friends, asked for her hand in marriage from Akinlabi while they play aayo olopon (a common game) together. But Akinlabi, trying to play a father role, declined Ogunmola's request and instead, suggested he go to other reputable families of Kilanko Village to find himself a bride. As these thoughts rumbled on, He thought about the kind of gift befitting Igbobunmi, especially on this unique day of her life. "Should I get her a new aso oke or beads? She has been very obedient and truthful since the day she began to talk. She has been a good maid to my wife Awele too. She deserved something huge." While these thoughts rumbled in Akinlabi's head, looking at his hands, he noticed that the bead on his left hand was missing. For a moment he thought he had misplaced it during the rescue of Bolatito from those rapists but suddenly, he remembered he gave it to Bolatito purposefully as a seal to confirm the promise of his return to her house after leaving the palace. As if someone was cooking nearby, Akinlabi lifted up his head and inhaled deeply as if he could smell the aroma from Bolatito's meal. Like a vehicle whose break failed, Akinlabi galloped through the bushy road en route Bolatito's house. Though it is getting dark, he wouldn't mind returning home late because, first, he had promised Bolatito of his presence with a seal as proof. Second, Akinlabi is a man of his word; whatever he promised, he will do, he won't rest until it is done and third, the fear of missing Bolatito's delicacies spurred him on to continue his way to Bolatito's house. Again, marching along the bushy pathways, he remembered the last time he ate from the same plate with Bolatito; it's always fun and enjoyable. While they were eating on one particular day, Bolatito purposefully served only one meat for both of them, wanting to test Akinlabi sharing heart. To her amazement, Akinlabi galloped the pounded yam, left the only meat untouched, washed his hands and reached for the palm wine placed beside him. Impressed by Akinlabi's generous heart, Bolatito went inside and brought additional three pieces of meat for Akinlabi alone, "I have enough meat in the pot Akinlabi. I purposely served us one to test if, perhaps, you're going to eat it all alone or share it with me. But to my surprise, you left it completely for me. That's a good heart. So, as a reward, I brought three more pieces of meat." Akinlabi smiled as he walked along the bush through the dark. He felt proud that night as he was treated like a king by Bolatito. He was even afforded a well decorated room to pass the night. Akinlabi overheard the conversation between Bolatito and her mother as she reported his generous and kind gesture, even at meal. So, the thought of eating again, after a long time with Bolatito filled his head as he navigates his way to her house. Akinlabi was half-way Bolatito's house when, suddenly, out of nowhere, a wild animal jumped in front of him. "A lioness?" Akinlabi exclaimed! But before he could decide whether to confront the lion or to take to his heels, the lioness pounced on him and overpowered him. |
