After Mrs Willis arrived at her home, She went into her room to change into her farming clothes. Then she went into the kitchen and filled a small five-star gallon with drinking water. After that, she put food in a big hot case. Then she packed three spoons, three bowls, and two drinks cups, in a basket along with the hot case.
Then, she went back into her room for a change of clothes for Lil Asher. Afterwards, she held the basket and water gallon in both of her hands, and headed to the Hopeson's compound.
....
The Hopeson's compound;
"I heard your going 'work' again today,"
Patricia stated.
"Oh yeah? You're doing punishment this week too?" Deborah asked in surprise.
"Not me this time, he will be the one to weed that plenty grass," Mrs Willis replied.
"Oh, you're sure? Because, that your old man in small child shell, just have to speak in his babyish voice to make you change your mind," Chloe asked skeptically.
"You'll see later," Mrs Willis replied.
As they were chatting, they heard somebody calling their names.
"Huh, Agnes running to us, let's meet her in the middle," Chloe said and started walking towards compound gate.
Her partners also rushed outside the compound.
" your will na believe what's happening now in our village!" Agnes said excitedly.
"Our village doctor, oldman Isaac daughter-in-law get belleh!" Agnes excitedly said.
But, the moment her four partners heard what she said, they lost their gossiping spirits immediately.
"Agnes, wetting about this look like gees? You girl, you just hyped us on, for nothing," Mrs Willis said unhappily.
"Uh huh, if Anita get pregnant, that's good news for old man Isaac. But, I don't see why we should celebrate it," Deborah added.
Chloe standing beside them, narrowed her eyes and looked at Agnes.
"Unless the child is not for oldman Isaac son,"
"Exactly! The belleh is not for Levi. Leh belleh for Ma Musu son. You know any woman that marry in that family, can't get pregnant. But after Adam slept with Anita, she got pregnant boom! Their whole family is in front of oldman Isaac house now now. They say Levi must divorce Anita so they can marry her," Agnes said excitedly, as she clapped her hands.
Deborah clicked her tongue and said.
"Tsk, this one big ohhh."
"I tell you! Just now before I come call your, Adam was boasting and cursing his ex wife. Oldman Isaac yard is boiling now now," Agnes added as she clapped her hands in excitement.
"Leh go quick quick na before the show finished," Mrs Willis urged.
But Agnes was not done speaking yet.
"Your wait leh me say the last part then we can go. From what I heard from Adam's boastoree story. After his wife left him, he angrily went to the creek to swim. Then, he saw Anita sitting on the big rock we can scrubbed our clothes on, crying about how she misses her husband. So he sat beside her and chatted with her, through that chatting they fell for each other blah blah blah," she said as she rolled her eyes.
"I just hope they didn't pollute that rock,"
Deborah said.
"I think that belleh is not even for Adam,"
Chloe added.
"Your leh go before ley show finished!" Patricia urged them.
The five women quickly ran to oldman Isaac' house.
...
Old man Isaac house;
After Mrs Willis and her gossiping partners arrived, they quickly blended into the crowd. And finally saw what was happening.
In the front yard, Old man Isaac sat on a chair calmly, as if he was waiting for someone. Ma musu and her people stood aggressively opposite him as if, they could pounds on him, if he says the wrong words.
In the middle of the two forces stood Anita and Adam. The two shamelessly linked their hands together.
The scene was like that until Anita's family arrived five minutes later.
After Anita's family arrived, her mother walked straight to her and,
*slap slap slap* her mother slapped her in roll.
"Mama, you slapped me?" Anita asked. Shock and disbelief written on her face.
"And I will slap you again, foolish girl! When you said you wanted to marry Levi, wetting i tell you? I told you over and over to think carefully. What kinna answer you gave me?? Answer me!" Old ma Tenneh asked furiously as she looked at daughter. But when she saw her daughter still holding Adam's hand, she almost slapped her again.
"I...I sa...I said, I'll wait for him," Anita said meekly as she lower her head.
Old maTenneh, scanned Adam and his family for twelve seconds then she furiously tore her gaze away.
Then, she and her family, hurriedly walked to Old man Isaac.
"My in-law, my family and I, are deeply sorry for the way Anita behaved to you and Levi. We're not here to begged for her. You can make your decision,"
Oldman Isaac nodded his head and began to speak.
"I called your family here, to give your daughter back. You see, my son is not here in the country now. But I've already called him and he give me the go ahead. So here is your daughter. The dowry we paid plus the 100,000 LRD, your can keep it. That's it. Oh her things too, your should carry them from my house,"
"Okay, thank you uncle Isaac, we will be leaving now," oldma Tenneh said.
Old man Isaac nodded his head and headed inside his house.
Then she turned to her three sons.
"The three of you, go bring your sister's bags,"
After that she faced her daughter.
"Let's back home,"
Then, finally, she turned to the Blamo family
"I will give your 24 hour to prepare my daughter's dowry. If i don't see her dowry after that 24 hours, I will show your 'crazy',"
After she finished speaking, she left with her family.
Since, the 'show' was over. The crowd scattered in different directions.
....
"This other 'melon' was not sweet mehn," Chloe complained as they were heading home.
" it's because we arrived late," Patricia pointed out.
"I think so too. That why we missed the juicy part," Deborah agreed.
"Yeah, it's almost 12:30. We going to our children school," Mrs Willis said.
"Let's be on time tomorrow for the 'show'. We all know the blamo family will not pay that dowry. okay, see your later," Agnes said.
Then she and Mrs Willis headed to their children school.
" let's go watch how the children will weed the grass. Tricia, bring your camera Felecia sent you. So we can record it hahahaha..," Chloe said and laughed wickedly.
"Yeah, let's go see," Patricia and Deborah replied together.
