Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 33
Kelvin gave him time to calm down and then he walked up to him where he was sitting alone. There was deep sike ce between them but he finally spoke up.
âBush, I figured out why you were angry and mad at me. She is your missing sister right?â Kelvin asked but got no answer and so he continued.
âWell Bush I want you to know that I never took advantage of your sister. Nti may be young at age but I tell you she has a matured mind, loving, caring, sweetâŠ.(smiling as he described her)
A wicked look from Ukeh sent the smiles on Kelvins lips away. He quickly cautioned himself. Well I am sorry if you feel that I took advantage of her but I want you to know that I didnât. I married her in church before God and the congregation bat large.
Well according to our tradition Nti is not married, her dowry has not been paid. Her marriage drinks has to be poured on the soil of my father land, and her dowry paid then we will know you have married her. I am a Christian but even the Bible understood the meaning of traditional rites.
âI am so sorry Bush, I am sorry you feel hurt like this. But God know I love Nti and I will do everything to protect her.
âLet me ask you something, Do you think Sheilaâs age, sorry I mean Ntiâs age would have mattered to anyone if they chose her to be thier sex slave? Or if I were to be like my father do you think her age would have mattered?â
There was a Stern look from Ukeh. âSo you want me to believe now that you did her a favor by marrying her?â He asked.
âNo no itâs not like that. I love her and she loves me, age is nothing but a number, I love your sister and that is why I married her. Please forgive me. Please. But Your sister and I truly love each other and it is for my sake that no one dared maltreated her while she was here.
Ukeh turns and looks at him again.
âBut now she is alone, helpless, defenseless and hopeless, my dad sold her. âKelvin laments
âI wish i knew where she isâ he weeps uncontrollably. And then he suddenly stops and turns to Ukeh..
âWhy didnt i think of this? Oh Jesus thank you,â he screams as he starts dancing
âWhat is your problem man? What is it. Ukeh asked
Kelvin: Listen my brother. (He bends and holds Ukeh on his shoulder)
Ukeh turns and looks at him. He wanted to push him away but he was already calm and so he let him be.
âSee, the person that brought you have her. He has herâ Kelvin said excited
âI donât understand what you are saying. How do you mean?â Ukeh asks
Sheila, sorry Nti was exchanged with you. It means that my father gave her out to whoever gave you to my father.
Ukehâs face lit up. He hadnât thought of that. He quickly jumps up with a big smile on his face.
âYes, thatâs true, yes. She was the girl that was exchanged with me. Oh my dear sister. I was too weak to look at the lady I was being exchange with. Yes! (He jumps excitedly)
âDoes that mean, you know who shes with and where she is? Kelvin asks.
Ukehâs countenance became moody as he answers slowly.
âYes I know who she is with. But I donât know where, I donât know the road or how to reach her.
âBut you know who she is with right? Kelvin asks
âOf course, she is with my old master. Master Tommy.
âMaster Tommy? Little Tomâs dad? â
âYes! â Ukeh answers. Do you know him?
Kelvin could not hold back his excitement as he broke into a dance.
âOf course u know him. He is my dadâs friend. Little Tom is also my friend and I know their house very well. Oh thank you Jesus. So I am going to see my angel again. Thank you Jesus.
Ukeh: Can we go there now? Please lets go and get my sister please.
Kelvin wanted to pick his jacket and move but then he stops.
âNo Ukeh, the Bible says wisdom is profitable to direct. If we go get her now where would we go? How do we even take her from master Tom. He has right over her because he bought her? He wonât touch me but he can kill you for trespassing and then he will call my father and they will sell Nti off again and we may never be able to find her again.
â Thatâs true. So what do we do?âUkeh asks
â I think itâs t
ime I introduce you to some persons. Itâs a combination of blacks and whitesâ
Believe it or not, Not every white is bad. There are some that actually wants this evil act of slave trading to end, and it is time for you to meet them.
And for the first time, Ukeh relaxes and allowed Kelvin take him inside the house.
