EPISODE 17 Before he was sixteen, he became wayward, fending for himself and his sister as I was always in the bottle. He became the father of the family, doing all sorts of things for wage and food. One day, he and his gang went to a neighboring village to steal; he was caught while the friends escaped. In that particular village the punishment for theft was being burnt alive. His friends came back to inform me that he was caught, but I didn’t care. If I had simply gone to pay for what he stole and offered sacrifices to the gods to appease them, he would still be alive. They waited three days and burnt him alive. His death removed the scale off my eyes. The anger, grief, sadness all melted away. I began blaming myself for his death. I knew I should have done something to save his life; but because of the hate I didn’t. I realized I have been foolish and wicked for hating my son, my only son at that time; but it was now too late to apologize or make up for my wrongs”. He paused, turned to Osundu and continued “I have prayed for a day like this; where I will have to apologize for all my wrong doings. I really failed you as a father in your previous life. I beg for your forgiveness; find a place in your little kind heart and pardon me”. The little one was staring at the old man wondering what he was talking about; so he didn’t respond. Mazi Amuneke on the other hand ignored him and continued “You were reborn to live a new life as a new person. Be the person your past self didn’t get to be. Thanks to the gods they have provided you with a mother who is capable and able to help you accomplish all that. So be you, don’t look back, be who the gods have destined you to be and set the world on fire. Do make the rest of your life the best of your life” he said. The elder beside him told Ego that since he had apologized to the boy that he would no longer remember anything from his past life again. There was no need to worry about it further. Osundu spent the rest of the day with Ndidi catching up. She took him to their mother’s grave and he was able to locate his own grave. Ego on the other hand passed the evening getting to know more about the family. The next morning, she provided the family especially Ndidi with financial help and said goodbye to Nnewi. THE END!!!
