The People all gathered before in the Palace before Queen Ajonwa to hear who would handle the affairs of the Kingdom when she would be gone for her mission.
"I greet you all my People"Ajonwa started
"We greet you Great Queen"They chorused in reply.
"So, I'd be going on a vengeance mission to Umuozara..to avenge the wrongful death of Nne mmiri my mother, your Queen. It wouldn't be nice if I leave the kingdom like that without handing it over to a capable hand who would run the affairs of this kingdom on my behalf.." She paused and looked at them, then continued..
"I'm handing this kingdom over to Ogoli, one of my advisers.. Ogoli come forward"
Ogoli moved forward smiling
"She has been my trusted servant for long and I entrust this Kingdom to her till I return.."Ajonwa said.
She removed her crown, royal anklet and wore it on Ogoli who knelt before her. She also gave Ogoli her royal staff of authority.
"Now, I'll leave.. Ogoli take care of my Kingdom as I leave.. Peace be upon you all"
"I promise to do my very best.. Thank you my Queen for trusting me"Ogoli said..
Ajonwa nodded and vanished to Umuozara for her mission...
***************
It's been over 3 hours since Ebere was in labour.. King Afam was pacing the front of her Hut restlessly.. The Onowu had offered to stay with him while the other Ichies had gone back to their respective homes.
"Calm down my King.. Everything will be okay" Onowu assured him.
"Are you sure? Because am scared.. Is this how long it takes to deliver?"
Onowu laughed
"It takes even longer. My wife was in Labour for 2 whole days before she delivered Ejike my son.."
"uhmmm.. I just want everything to be fine"King Afam said.
********************
The next day, the UmuAdas assembled at Ndulue's compound chanting war songs.. The UmuAdas are made up of all first daughters of the Land whether as a biological daughter of the Land or by marriage. These women controlled the affairs of families as they settled marriage disputes, case of stubborn children and any other quarrels pertaining marriage. UmuAdas are feared in every land because their say is required in almost every decision in the Land.. They are honored almost the same way the "Okpara" (first son) is honoured.
The matter has been reported to them officially by Ndulue.
They halted at Ndulue's obi.. He heard the song and came out. Ekemma followed suit with other children in the compound. Adaugo and Omasili couldn't come out because of their injuries.
"I greet you UmuAda ndi oma"Ndulue greeted
"We greet you too"They chorused
"I thank you for honoring my call.. I have a very big problem and it is Adaugo and Omasili, the women I married with my own money"
"chere nnanyi.. Wait..where are they? I mean Adaugo and Omasili" The leader said looking around..
"So you mean they heard our voice and stayed indoors? Oh! What a show of disrespect!!"A woman said..
Ekemma rushed to call them out.. Adaugo couldn't carry her hand properly and she had a severe head injury while Omasili leaped with her broken leg..
"Greetings umuAda"They both said but UmuAda ignored them.
Ndulue went into his Hut and brought a fat cock while his son Ebube followed behind with a basket of huge yams.. He set it before the UmuAda.
"This is just a token from me.. Please help me deal with these two women.. I don't want to join my ancestors prematurely biko" He said..
The UmuAdas rejoiced at the gift
"Unbehalf of my fellow women, we appreciate.. we promise to look into this matter and act accordingly" The leader said.. Have you read Coolval stories?
Ndulue nodded smiling..
"ngwa come here!"a woman shouted at Adaugo and Omasili.
They came forward
"Okwa unu si na nti chiri unu? Unu ga anu nti taa..(Shebi una say una no dey hear word? Una go hear word today)" the women leader said..
Two women carried their cock and basket of yams as they pushed Adaugo and Omasili forward not minding their condition.
They started their song as Adaugo and Omasili led the way..
They were to walk round the village asking for forgiveness for disturbing their Husband..
After that, they were asked to sweep the village square for a full week then fetch water to fill all the UmuAdas houses (the umuadas are up to 40 in number).. Then, they would provide a goat each as fine for not coming outside when they heard the voices of the UmuAdas..After that, they would go back to their husband and plead for forgiveness and swear before agbala never to disturb his peace anymore..
************
Quick Question..Are these punishments too small or too big considering the sin of Adaugo and Omasili?
Do you think they will change after this??
