CHIOMA. I settled on the couch beside Onome. She still looked younger and beautiful as always. Her afro was neat and the shades of white hair showed how she had aged. Though she hadnt aged in appearance. 'happy new year Onome...' i said with a smile. She smiled too 'shame to you...so today resemble new year for your eye abi? Today no be 15th of February?' 'eh...we've not seen since this year thats why' 'na because say you no wan see me now. Sotey i come dey wonder if me and you dey quarel. You no fit carry phone say ah...' she placed her hand on her eye like she was truly answering a phone call 'Onosky the troublemaker, how far now? How you side dey? Even to kukuma branch come chop better Ikodo and roasted fish, you no come, na wa oo. You try wella. Over try dey worry you' I chuckled 'i'm sorry. But you should have also stopped over or even called now. Since i couldnt visit your home on time, why didnt you visit or even call?' 'English woman! Na me, Onosky the renowned troublemaker you dey blow grammar for abi? Okay oo, i no know why i no just dey fortunate to take go school' I started laughing 'see person! You that studied at Havard with a master degree from there abi?' 'i no go now. You no dey see the yeye english wey i dey spoke? If to say, i goes to school, i for don dey speak selense like you na. Hey, God! Why my matter go different na? Na only me be troublemaker wey dey dis life?' 8 Likes 4 Shares |

Re: Red Ashes by Chumzypinky(f): 7:21pm On Jan 01, 2017 |
Chumzypinky: I laughed loudly 'Onome abeg leave me, i no get strength to laugh' 'abeg no mind me jareh. It looks as if you're carrying the problems of the whole world on your shoulders so i'm just trying to cheer you up a bit' She rose on her feet 'so what do i offer you?' 'erm...nothing' 'you dey craze!' she folded her fists like someone that wanted to box 'e be like sey you no know sey me and Mike Tyson na boyfriend and girlfriend before' I laughed again 'oya, give me ikodo' 'see your mouth! Give me a minute' she excused herself and came back with a tray. I enjoyed the meal. 'lets go to my room and talk jareh. Before those kids come back and start giving me wahala' Onome said. 'which kids?' i looked at her suspiciously. 'eh...Kc dey around' 'okay...' we both stood up and started climbing the stairs 'eh-hen, abeg oo, you don see your pikin?' 'which of my pikin?' 'Kainene na. Erm...' 'is there any problem?' she paused and looked at me relaxing her back on the railings... 5 Likes 2 Shares |
Re: Red Ashes by Chumzypinky(f): 7:40pm On Jan 01, 2017 |
Chumzypinky: 'erm...lets go to your room and talk...' she shrugged and we started climbing the stairs 'Kainene and i are having little misunderstandings. So she left the house. And i know very well that she cant be anywhere but here' 'what makes you think so?' she spread her curtains apart and the room became bright. Then she sat on the bed holding a pillow close to her chest. I sat too. 'because she cant be anywhere but here...i know Kaka's her only friend' 'what really happened?' the look on her face showed she knew what it was all about but wanted to hear my own side of the story. 'i...' i started fumbling with my fingers 'its...its her...its about her dad and i. You know i'm divorced...her dad came back and he wants us to renew our vows...' i looked up at her 'Onome, dont i deserve to be happy? Cant i also be in love and be loved in return? Dont i deserve happiness in my life?' Tears welled up in my eyes 'though, i later found out that the man 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Re: Red Ashes by dahmine(f): 11:06pm On Jan 01, 2017 |
Chumzypinky:lol, yes ma. great story BTW God bless you for sharing. |
Re: Red Ashes by Chumzypinky(f): 9:42am On Jan 02, 2017 |
Chumzypinky:The man...wasnt worth it. He lied to me several times. He doesnt deserve me. I cant believe i lost my daughter because of a shameless man! I've tried reaching Kainene but she doesnt answer my calls....' i sobbed 'i even called Kamsi asking if she knows about Kainene's whereabouts but she denied knowing about it. Thats why i came here. Kamsi might not tell me the truth but i know you'll tell me...' She sighed. *** KAINENE. Nathan held onto my hand tighter as we entered the ward. His mum was on the bed. She had a confused look in her eyes...almost like she was trying to remember something...anything at all. Her head was bandaged. And i felt pity for her. Kaka had stepped out to get food for his mum. 'who are you?' she asked looking frightened. I looked at Nathan and i saw tears forming in his eyes. He sat beside his mum still not letting go of my hand. 'mum...' he whispered. He held her hand with his other one. She quickly snatched her hand from his grasp 'what rubbish! Mum? Who are you? Get out of here now!' 'mum, you...you dont remember me?' 'who the hell are you?' 'its me Nathan...Nathan, your son' 'my son?' then she looked at me 'do i have a son?' I nodded. 'are you my daughter too?' I shook my head. 'ouch! My head! My head hurts' she touched her forehead, then she looked at us again 'who am i? What is my name?' 'mum..your name is Mabel. Mabel Imore, the CEO of Imore Corporations. You're a very wealthy woman mum' Nathan said. 'me? You mean i own a lot of money? Me?' her eyes widened in surprise. 'yes ma' i replied going over to sit by the other side of the bed. I rubbed her other hand. 'who are you? Why dont i remember anything?' 'thats because you have amnesia mum. You cant remember anything' Nathan said. 'if you claim to be my son...then who is she? Your wife? Are you married? Do you have kids? Am i a grandmother? I have grandchildren?' I chuckled 'no aunt, you dont have grandkids, at least not yet. My name is Kainenechukwu Claire Igho. I am a friend of your son. But i'm also your daughter too. Lets say, your adopted daughter...' i leaned forward and pecked her cheeks. 'adopted daughter?' her eyes were a bit relaxed now but she was still confused 'so i'm not a virgin?' Nathan and i exchanged glances then we bursted out laughing. 'of course aunt, you're a virgin!' i said 'you're the only virgin that went to the labour room, came out with a son and still remained a virgin! You see aunt? You're a great woman!' I saw her lips curve in a small smile 'stop whining me...' i noticed she was now holding my hand. Then she looked at Nathan 'where's your father? My husband...i'm married right?' 'erm..i...i...' he looked at me at loss for words to say. 'ermm...ma, you're not married yet. But Nathan's father travelled out of the country but he's on his way here' 'why wont i be married? And yet i have a son?' I looked at Nathan urging him to say something. 'er...mum, you and dad are actually planning for your marriage' he lied smoothly. 'really?' she giggled in excitement. The woman was really behaving like a kid now 'so i'm going to be a bride soon?' 'yes...' Nathan and i chorused. She looked at me 'you said your name is Claire right?' 'Claire or Kainene, but i'm mostly called Kainene or Nene...Claire is my english name while Kainenechukwu is my native name' 'oh! I'll call you Claire' I shrugged 'anything you want ma' 'i like you. I think i like you more than him...' she looked at Nathan and i saw the hurt that flashed in his eyes 'he looks like a bad boy. Am i safe with him?' 'of course ma!!!' i exclaimed 'he's your son. He'll never harm you' 'why dont i like him that much then? Arent mothers supposed to love their children?' TBC 9 Likes 3 Shares |
