🙋🎉🎈 Christmas In The Village EPISODE TEN: 💞
Whose Idea was it that we should go and greet nwà headmîs (heardmîs’s daughter)? Nkoli one of the women asked.
It was my idea. What happened? Biaty asked.
How come everybody is keeping quiet after greeting her, I’m I the only one she talked to in that rude manner? Nkoli asked.
Biaty busted into laughter.
My dear, you are not the only one. She said my husband is the lucky man that will marry her as his second wife. Didn’t you see as I came back I drank a bottle of water to flush the insult out but the insult digested instead of blushing out? It pained me. Ngozi said.
They all confessed what they received from greeting Ada and they decided to change their seat to the front where they won’t be seating close to Ada.
Not long Ada’s mom came and seated with her friends. She apologized for coming late and also for what held her. The woman didn’t allow her to land well they angrily told her how Ada her daughter insulted them one after the other. Ada’s mom couldn’t believe Ada said things like that to them.
When you people got there, did you see any alcoholic bottles on their table because she doesn’t take alcohol let it not be she took one and it was dealing with her. Ada’s mom said.
You should go and ask your daughter that. It is none of our business if she is under the influence of alcohol or not all we know is that she must apologize to us for the insult she threw at all of us. Biaty said.
That is a must. She must apologize to each of you but please let’s not celebrate Umuoma day with a frown face. Once the celebration is over she must come and apologize I must make sure of that. Ada’s mom assured her friends.
Everywhere was lively. Different sounds of drums were playing in the background. The Mc was calling the ladies from each particular ward to come and represent their wards by presenting any dancing step of their choice.
Alright ladies and gentlemen. Without wasting our time I will be calling on ward 1 single ladies of Umuoma to come and show us that dancing step they are reserving for their wedding day. I bet you that somebody’s future husband is already seated here and he’s waiting for her future wife to come and shàkîé ûkwû (to come and shake waste) hahaha! Remember this trophy on the Chairman’s table belongs to any ward that comes first. Ok, let’s go! Ward 1 quickly step forward and showcase your dancing step and while they are coming Ward 2 please get ready we don’t have time. Mc announced.
As ward 1 has started dancing. Chekwube went to Ada to inform her they will be dancing for their ward which is Ward 7.
Ada, get ready will be dancing for our ward. Chekwube said.
Hahaha! What’s our ward’s number? Ada laughed and asked.
Ward 7. The dance doesn’t take time two minutes we are done. Chekwube said.
I hope I can be jumping up and down since I don’t know how to dance. Ada asked while still laughing.
Babe, we are not targeting that trophy over there because I know no matter how much you and I dance we can never earn it. We are only representing our ward to get recognized. I don’t think anyone from our ward will join us because for the past two Umuoma’s Day celebrations our ward has not participated due to no one coming out. Just tell your brother’s girlfriends too to join and represent the ward I’ve told my cousins to join us and they agreed. Chekwube said.
But my brother’s girlfriends are not from our community. Ada said.
Yes, I know. It doesn’t matter. They will just dance and go. My cousins are not from our community but they will join us. Chekwube explains.
Immediately Ward 6 stepped out to present their ward. Chekwube waved a hand to Ada. Ada and her brother’s girlfriends came over to where Chekwube is. Ward 7 was called Ada and Chekwube danced majestically as they lead the dance. Many from the back stood up to know which people are representing Ward 7.
Ewooh! Héàdmiss is that not Ada your daughter dancing? Biaty said.
Ada’s mom looked and it was Ada dancing. She was so overwhelmed that she danced and join them just to spray her money. She was drawing people’s attention as she shouts: Ada nwà’m! Turu ugó! Ada Obodo Oyibo’m turu ugó! (Ada my daughter thumbs up) Somto and Chima stood up and went and sprayed money on the girls despite they didn’t budget for it. Chima’s friends couldn’t sit down and ignore Ada’s moves despite Ada’s thought that she isn’t a dancer. She has this pattern of moves her body makes as she dances. They stoop and rain money on Ada. People stood and started spraying money on Ada and the rest of the girls. Their dance lasted long cause they pulled the crowd. Their dance took 10 minutes and they went back to their seat when the mc called the dance off.
I can’t believe we did it. Chekwebe said to Ada.
Ada was smiling and about to respond her mother interrupted.
Che-ché, I’m so proud of you. Thank you for taking this shame off from Ward 7. I know you made this dance possible. Thank you so much. Ada’s mom told Chekwube
You are welcome, mama. Chekwube said.
Ada, I want to see you in camera. Ada’s mom called Ada aside.
Ada followed her and they shifted a bit.
Ada, you made me so happy today. Are you not seeing how I’m smiling? Ada’s mom said.
How mama? Is it because I danced what’s there? Ada said.
Don’t you know you have sampled yourself before Umuoma men? They will know you are still single. Don’t be in a haste to go home because some of them will be looking forward to talking to you. Ada’s mom happily said.
Mama is that all? Ada asked.
No, that’s not all. My friends told me how you insulted them but I’ve forgiven you because you made me proud. Now, follow me let’s go so you will apologize to my friend. Ada’s mom said.
Mama, you want me to apologize to your friends? Do you know what they asked me? Well, mama if you truly want me to apologize to your friends tell them I said they should come to my seat let me apologize to them one by one because I was on my seat they came. See where I’m sitting. Bring them there. Ada said pointing to the direction she seats.
Umuoma day continues…
