WRITTEN BY NNENNE UJU IZUANAGBARA.
Brenda’s burial was successful. The morning they were about leaving for the city, MADAM SYLVIA woke up and noticed she was soaked. She was suprised. She almost fainted when she knew it was BLOOD.
-blood? How come? I’m not menstruating. (She rushed to the Restroom and cleaned up. The more she cleaned up, the more the blood pumped.) what is this? What is happening to me? Gold, Gold ooooo i don’t know what is happening to me ooo.
Madam Gold rushed in.
-ogini? (What is it?)
-babe I’m bleeding ooo. I don’t, i don’t understand oooo. Ndia e nwe m ooooo(these people have gotten me ooo)
-Ndi one nwere gi? (Which people got you?) hmmm, this was supposed to have happened yesterday before everybody. You should be grateful you were saved from public national disgrace.
MADAM SYLVIA STOOD SHOCKED AND SPEECHLESS.
-GOLD!!!
-yes? That’s my name.
-are you ok?
-no I’m not. I will be when I’m done with you. Sylvia of all the men in the world, my son, Who is old enough to be called your son. You are wicked. You will bleed for the rest of your miserable life.
-Gold, don’t tell me you are responsible for this.
-of course i am. Atlist with this, you will leave my son alone. Wicked soul. After all i did for you? Seeing you through thick and thin, you stabbed me like this? You deserve to die but it will be slowly. I will make you go through pain. You will beg for death, it will not come. I have paid my last respect to BRENDA. She is the reason I’m here. You can find your way home, that’s if you can.
-God punish you there Gold. Don’t you sleep with younger boys ? Were you not the person who introduced it to me? Argh!!! I should have killed you long time ago. (Crying) what kind of thing is this? (The blood kept bumping)
MADAM GOLD LEFT FOR THE CITY. Her son finally carried out his threat. He sent MADAM SLYVIA’S NUDE PICTURES to her friends and family members including his mum with the inscription,THE CAUSE OF LATE CHIEF GREGORY NNAJIUDE’S DEATH REVEALED. THE LATE HIGH CHIEF GREGORY NNAJIUDE’S WIFE IS INTO PORN.
It spread like wildfire. Chinasa could not believe it. Her mum’s nude going viral.
At the village, her husband’s people chased her out. The bleeding was becoming too awful. She was always stinking.
At the wee hours of the morning, she went to her maternal home. She was given a hut to stay.
Madam Gold and son relocated to south africa.
