🙎 A Daughter’s Revenge EPISODE FIFTY FIVE:
PREVIOUSLY ON A DAUGHTER’S REVENGE:
…apart from the sickness that got Martha hospitalized for three days, another challenge she had was the courage to face the sight of KC in the market.
In fact, it was by the grace of God Martha was able to gather the courage to start business again.
Meanwhile Kelechi has not given up on Martha. He still has hope of reconciliation.
He kept coming, seeking Martha’s forgiveness.
THE CONTINUATION:
The rain came with violent and strong wind. Blowing away every blowable. The only thing the wind could not blow away was a human. As the wind carried away people’s roofs to an unknown destination.
It was on a Monday afternoon the angry wind did the damage. It all started like a joke. No one saw it coming. Because the scorching sun pelted against the earth very harshly that day. To the extent people were complaining bitterly against the hotness of the weather. It was In a twinkling of an eye that the weather changed. And before you knew it, the rain cloud had gathered upstairs.
Like play, like play, the wind came violently. It did a lot of damage. As many properties and goods were totally destroyed.
In the aftermath of the destruction, there came the heavy downpour.
Martha was busy sleeping inside of her shop. She was very lucky not to have been affected by the violent wind.
That fateful day, Martha came to shop very late. As she couldn’t wake up from the night’s rest on time. Even when she finally woke up, around 9:15am, getting up from the bed was a very big problem for her as she was very weak. It took her extra minutes to finally shrug the fatigue and sleep off her. Before managing to get herself ready for market.
Martha came to the shop very tired and weak that day. It was almost 12pm. Even at that, the fatigue couldn’t permit her to display goods outside. She just managed to open the shop, sweep everywhere, then slumped on the chair and zoomed off to sleep.
It was when the rain subsided a little that Amaka came visiting. Amaka was Martha’s friend. A daughter to Oga Osondu. Oga Osondu’s shop was just next to Martha’s shop. She just came back from school.
‘Martha o! You have been sleeping since the morning you came to the shop, are you okay? Are you sick? Because you are sleeping too much these days. What is wrong with you?’, Amaka asked, looking at Martha very suspiciously. ‘Let it not be what I am thinking. Because you seem to have added a lot of weight, Martha,’ she added, very playfully.
‘What do you mean I am sleeping too much these days? Can’t you see the weather? By the way, when did you come back from school to have noticed all this?’, she paused. ‘Come oh! Amaka, if I may ask, what are you even thinking?’, she asked.
‘Martha, for your information, I have been around for the past three days. Or is three days not enough to have noticed changes in a friend?’, Amaka asked.
‘Look, Amaka, if you don’t know what to talk, better keep quiet than talking trash,’ Martha waved off Amaka’s observations playfully. ‘But wait o, what are you thinking?.’
‘Nothing. Let me just mind my business,’ Amaka said.
‘Better do that,’ Martha added.
Silence prevailed for a while before Amaka finally broke the silence.
‘Martha,so you are here sleeping and you don’t know what’s happening outside,’ Amaka asked.
‘What’s happening outside?,’Martha asked in a loss, yawning amid tiredness.
‘This very rain came with a violent wind. It has destroyed people’s shops and goods..’
‘What do you mean by that?,’ Martha asked amid confusion. She still did not understand what Amaka was saying.
‘The wind made away with people’s shop roofs. The rain destroyed and damaged people’s goods as well,’ she paused. ‘The wind also carried Oga Emma’s shop roof and dumped it at plaza F. Although they managed to salvage the situation but before that, goods worth millions of naira have been destroyed already,’ she explained,
‘You mean it?,’ Martha asked in surprise. Because she was unaware of the whole thing.
‘Martha, are you telling me you were unaware of what happened?,’ Amaka asked, very surprised about the kind of sleep Martha was sleeping.
‘Of the truth, I am not aware. As I was deep asleep,’ Martha said.
‘Wait..Martha oh! Are you sure you are not pregnant? Because your sleep is not ordinary o..,’ Amaka raised the alarm.
‘Enough of this your expensive joke,’ Martha interrupted. ‘Why will you open your mouth to say I am pregnant. Are you the one that impregnated me?,’ Martha thundered.
‘Don’t be offended. Just that the way you are sleeping these days is giving me big concern,’Amaka apologized and remarked.
‘You better mind your business,’ Martha warned.
‘Don’t be offended. I will mind my business henceforth,’ she paused. ‘ Let’s go outside and see for yourself.’
‘Better’, she heaved a long hiss like a snake. ‘Let’s go jor,’ she added.
They stepped out from the shop to take a look at the damages the wind had caused.
Martha was baffled so much at what she saw. She couldn’t believe it. The damages were so much. In fact, the whole market was in total disarray.
‘How could I be this deep asleep not have noticed when all these were happening?,’ Martha asked herself while taking a walk with Amaka, observing the whole thing with her eyes.
When they were done feeding their eyes, they retired back to the shop amid shock. Because the volume of the damage was of a greater height.
Meanwhile, the rain has finally stopped. So as the affected traders were counting their losses, Martha and Amaka sat down outside the shop having a discussion.
They were discussing life in general.
‘…Martha, is anything going wrong between you and Kelechi? Because ever since I came back from school, I haven’t seen him here. Secondly, I haven’t seen you on call with him as well. And that’s very strange..’, Amaka had to ask. She had been nursing that in her heart. Because when Martha’s relationship with KC was up and running, hardly you wouldn’t see KC coming to check up on her at least twice in a day. Secondly, the length at which Martha always spent on the phone talking to KC on a daily basis always melted Amaka’s heart. To the extent she became very jealous of their relationship. Amaka described Martha’s relationship as a ‘perfect relationship’. And wished she was the one in Martha’s shoes.
Amaka has been so unfortunate when it comes to relationships. In fact, she has never lasted more than a year in her previous relationships. As men also have a way of breaking her heart.
Martha took a deep breath, then heaved a hiss before replying to Amaka. ‘Men will always be men. They will alway stain your white no matter how clean and sparkling you chose to keep the white,’ she shook her head. ‘We are no longer together. I broke up with him…’
‘Martha, wait oh! Tell me you are joking..,’ Amaka had to ask. Because the whole thing sounded like a joke to her. Amaka never saw it coming. A relationship she always used as a point of contact while praying to God for her own man.
‘I am not joking. We are no longer together,’ Martha maintained.
‘What happened? How come?,’ Amaka asked amid confusion. As she had thought that the relationship would lead to marriage straight up.
‘I cannot continue with his promiscuous life. He is a chronic womanizer,’ she paused and continued amid sober reflection. ‘Amaka, could you believe that KC was sleeping with Linda. I caught them red handed on the bed. So I had to call off the relationship..,’ Martha explained.
‘I cannot believe KC would have the guts to cheat on you after all you did to him. He’s indeed an ingrate…’, Amaka said, shrugging her shoulders in shock.
‘Men are scûm,’ she paused. ‘Amaka, tell me, is there anything I haven’t done for him? How could he do this to me?,’ Martha said amid tears as she filled with nostalgia.
‘He didn’t do well by paying you for your good with bad,’ she sighed. ‘So what has been his reaction ever since you broke up with him?,’ Amaka asked.
‘What else would his reaction be if not to plead for forgiveness. He has been doing everything possible for me to forgive him but I don’t think I can be able to forgive him after what he did to me,’ Martha said, very uncertain.
‘You still love him, right?’, Amaka asked.
‘’Amaka, I will not lie to you, I still love him. I have done everything possible to let go of him off my head but the more I tried, the more his thought lives rent free inside of my head. I am afraid, his place in my heart, I don’t know if it will be replaceable..,’ Martha honestly explained.
‘Babe, I understand you,’ she shook her head, sympathizing with her. ‘Because the journey of first love is very unending. Especially when the two shared a lot together,’ she paused. ‘So what do you intend to do now…I mean are you moving on with your life or making up with him?,’ Amaka asked.
