"Have you tried reaching out
to Mma's childhood friends, Eriana and Adaora? They might know Mma's
whereabouts or at least have her contact," Adanne asked.
"Not really, but I don't think
either of them is still in the village. The last time I saw them was when they
came to plead on Mma's behalf, but my wife and I didn't give them the time of
day. My wife said a lot of things that drove them away in anger," Nze
Okoro responded.
"Well, I suggest going to see
their parents; maybe I could get their contact numbers," Adanne said.
When she arrived at Adaora's house,
she found it empty. Just as she was about to leave, Adaora arrived, honking her
horn to signal her parents that she was back.
"Good afternoon, Auntie
Adanne," Adaora greeted.
"Good afternoon, Adaora. It's
good to see you. It seems your parents and siblings are at the farm. I've been
knocking, but no one answered," Adanne said.
"Is everything okay? It's
unusual for you to come by our house," Adaora replied.
"There's no problem. I'm
actually here to see you. I was going to visit Eriana's house next, but
something told me to come here first," Adanne explained.
"You look beautiful; city life
must be treating you well," Adanne added.
"I have a message for your
brother and his wife. Their daughter Mma asked me to deliver something to
them," Adaora replied.
"Really? How is Mma? Is she
okay? Her father sent me to collect your number from your parents, in case you
knew anything about Mma's whereabouts," Adanne inquired.
"Mma is doing very well; she
misses her parents a lot. Come, let's get into my car and go see Mma's
parents," Adaora suggested.
"This is your car?"
Adanne asked, curious.
"Yes, it is. I'm back in town
for my traditional and white wedding preparations and I wanted to officially
invite you," Adaora happily shared.
"This is indeed a double
blessing - a car and a husband! I'm overjoyed for you," Adanne remarked.
They continued their conversation
on the way to Mma's parents' house.
Nze Okoro was overjoyed to hear
that Mma and his grandchild were doing well. Mma's mother apologized to Adaora
for how she had treated her and Eriana before, likening them to "birds of
the same feather."
Mma's parents joyfully accepted the
gifts from their daughter Mma.
