Kamma tried to leave. Nurse ella stopped her.
-Mr ugo, you need Jesus. Do i look desperate to you? With this nasty attitude of yours, i put it to you sir, YOU DO NOT DESERVE THIS WOMAN (kamma) ATALL. G©sh, your attitude is more than disgusting. Your husband material is nothing but rags. Worthless!!!. If you are the only man on earth, i rather remain unmarried.
– imagine the low life I’m trying to give envible status.
-There is nothing envible about your status because it was borrowed. Not for your mum, you won’t know how to PRONOUNCE the word STATUS.
-Get out. Ugo shouted.
They left.
KAMMA GOT HOME. SHE WASN’T ALLOWED IN. Her brothers told her to go back to where she was coming from. Ada’s burden is enough.
-you better go back o, Araba her elder brother shouted. Is this place refuse dump for unwanted wives. Nne gakwuru di gi biko. (go back to your husband )
-brother please, I’m begging you i have no where to go (crying)
– go back to ugo. You have no room here o.
KAMMA WAS PUSHED OUT BY HER BROTHERS. She sat by the gate and cried asking God to show her mercy. Ella’s call came in immediately.
-hello
-oh my.God, mma are you crying?. Are you ok? What is it? Where are you?
Mma could not speak. She was filled with tears.
-hello, mma, please calm down and tell me where you are. I speak peace to your heart in Jesus name. Please tell me where you are.
-front of my gate.
-where do you stay?
-brooklyn avenue. House 14.
-I’m coming. Please just stay there.
Two hours later, nurse ella arrived in a lexus jeep. Kamma broke into heavy tears when she saw nurse ella.
-oh my God. (She ran towards her and embraced her) it’s ok. Stop crying dear. (She helped her into the car with her luaguages and drove off.)
Nurse ella brought kamma into her father’s house. Nurse ella’s father is a very wealthy child of God. With her father’s permission, kamma was given a room in their mansion.
Kamma shared how she was thrown out by her own brothers.
-mma, believe me, it is for good. God is trying to place you in the right place for his blessings. It might look painful, soon it will be gainful. Be strong my dear friend. God who saved your life will see you through.
-Amen. Thanks so much.
