Olamma

Episode 37

Olamma cries most night, sometimes she gets nothing to eat. Amaka who used to sneak out food for her has left.

Amaka’s parents came to take their daughter away after hearing what was going on.

Ever since Amaka left, is being only Olamma and her harsh parents.

There were kind villagers who saw the way Olamma was being treated and brings food for her anytime she was in the farm or her parents were not around.

Nneka who usually visit her mother was one of the people who always come around with something for Olamma.

Olamma asked for her forgiveness and she told her it was all in past.

Nneka and few others were the only kind people who related with Olamma.

One day as Olamma returned from the farm, she saw Adaugo. She was seated and her father and mother were busy talking with her.
Immediately Adaugo saw Olamma, she left her parents and ran upto her.

She threw her arms around her and hugged her warmly. Tears run down her face when she released Olamma.

“I’m sorry for everything that you passed through. Your look do not matter to me Mma. All I care about is that my lovely sister is alive. I prayed so much to the gods to keep you safe and not to allow any harm to come to you. Well, even though you were deeply hurt but I’m glad that you are still alive. It was Oby, your friend that told me. I have being hearing rumours but I wasn’t so sure and I did not want to come back here and listen to papa and mama’s rant. Until Oby, came to me with the full details and I couldn’t wait another minute without seeing you. May the gods be praise for sparing your life. I also heard the way mama and papa had been treating you. Is really sad that they changed all of a sudden because you are no more the Olamma they used to know who got married to the great prince of Ozulu. I’m taking you away from here. You will come and live and dine with me. I have many rooms in the palace and my husband, who I have already told about you do not mind. He is indeed a kind and good man. When you come you will meet your nephew and niece. I have a son and a daughter and I have told them so much about you. They are also your children….they will really love you. You have nothing to fear and worry about. I am here for you….always…forever.
