REVENGE!
Episode 17

Chimamanda spent some time attending to Nina, before she finally picked her bag to leave, promising to return the next day.

Prince Nnamdi: I do not know why you changed your mind, but thank you! I look forward to your coming tomorrow. I pray the gods show her mercy and heal her.

Chimamanda: Amin

King AZAZA: Make sure you come on time tomorrow. Do not keep my bride waiting.

Chimamanda took another wicked look at him before going out. On their way out, Aguyi held her hand and asked.

Aguyi: my child, one minute you are standing your ground never to help the queen to be, the next minute you are down helping her with so much passion. Why? What did you see.

Chimamanda: Father there is nothing to ask or think about. I just did what my spirit asked me to do.

Aguyi: may the gods bless you my child for not allowing a fellow human die.

*****************************************

Ikenna and Ajuwe had prepared lots of arrows and they have decided to return back to the village.

Ajuwe: Ike what's the next plan now?

Ikenna: Firstly I will go and see how my sister is faring. When I return I will know what next to do.

Ajuwe: Then I will go with you.

Ikenna and Ajuwe arrived the palace and met Prince Nnamdi outside. Ikenna introduced himself as the brother to the young maiden that the igwe had captured and arrested. Prince Nnamdi could perceive hatred for the king from Ikenna. He took them in and showed them NINA.

IKENNA: what happened to her, who did this to her?(he stood up boiling in anger)

Prince Nnamdi: calm down, she had a slight accident. She fell down and hit her head on a chair.

Ajuwe: (holding her by her hand) my poor NINA , I am so sorry I wasn't here to help you, don't worry ike and I are here now and we will never leave you alone again.

Ikenna: this was no accident. I am sure the king has a hand in this, this was no accident.

Prince Nnamdi: we've called a healer, she was here yesterday and she will be here any moment from now.

Ikenna: if anything happens to my sister, if anything happens to her. Let me not say anything yet. (He turned and walked out of the room angry, in his way out he stepped on Chimamanda who was walking in, but he was too angry to even say sorry, he just stormed out)

Chimamanda: Ouch, who is this one na, see the way he stepped on me and felt so big to say sorry. Stupid!
(She walked into the room, she greeted Ajuwe and prince Nnamdi, and commenced treatment immediately. She brought out a leaf, squeezed it and out it into her nostril. After a while, Nina sneezed and opened her eyes.) She was so weak.....

Nina: Water, I need water

Prince Nnamdi quickly got up and ran to the kitchen past the maids and brought the water to Nina. She drank the water and felt a bit strong. She turned and looked at the faces around, she didnt recognise anyone except Ajuwe whom she hugged so tight before asking.

Nina: where am I please?

Ajuwe: oh my child, bless the gods you are alive, I was so worried.

Nina: where am I ma,

Ajuwe: you are at the palace, my dear, do you remember anything?

Nina: I think I do, I remember the king locking me up because I refused his proposal for marriage. (She turned and looked from the prince to China) ma, who are these people? Where is Ikenna?

Prince Nnamdi: welcome back dear, my name is NNAMDI.

AJUWE: Nina honey, This is Prince Nnamdi, son of King AZAZA, he has been the one taking good care of you.

Prince Nnamdi: And this is chimamanda, she is the healer who took care of you and brought you back to life, after many other healers have failed.

Nina turned to Chimamanda and thanked her so much for all she's done for her.

Chimamanda: there's no need to thank me, I just did what my spirit asked me to do.

Nina: where is Ikenna?

Ajuwe: He just stepped out few minutes ago.he will be back.

Nina: I really want to see him. (She turned to Nnamdi) Thank you so much for taking care of me, please tell your father that I am ready to marry him.

Prince Nnamdi: what did you say?

Nina: I said tell the king that I am now ready to be his Queen.

Nnamdi's eyes widened, his mouth opened as he stared at Nina like a ghost.

Revenge!
Episode 18

Chief Odogwu had just arrived from the US with his family and the igwe had given him a warm reception. They have just finished a good meal at the dining table and the chief and the king left the rest of the family at the dining to go discuss important issues downstairs. There was plenty of laughing in the palace ad they went downstairs. They took their seats and discussion started.

Chief Odogwu: Its so good to be home, after all this years.

King AZAZA: yes o, we are always grateful to you and so EKEH is your home anytime, any day.

Chief Odogwu: Thank you so much igwe.

King AZAZA: so now that you are back, what is your plan.

Chief Odogwu: (sitting up) yes igwe, I was coming to that. I was meaning to ask for your favour.

King AZAZA: what is it my friend? You know you can always ask anything of me. EKEH is indebted to you. ( they both burst out laughing)

Chief Odogwu: Thank you igwe. Igwe what I want to ask for is the four plots of lands by the village hall. That place is a very good and open place, it will be good to build a school and a fuel station, you know it is high time development comes into this village. And I want to help bring that development. I want to build a big school and a fuel station in EKEH!

King AZAZA: you mean, you want to build for us?

Chief Odogwu: yes igwe. As a sign of appreciation for what you did for me and my family years ago.

King AZAZA: ah that Is good news. You see, not everyone knows how to appreciate. That my friend, is a very good habit.

Chief Odogwu: Igwe, that is not all. You know my family and I don't really have a house here in EKEH. There is another plot of land two poles after the four plots, I will love to build a house there for my family and I.

King AZAZA: uhmmmm, well, those lands actually belong to some elders of this land, but I will talk to them, I will let them know that this is for the development of this land. They don't have any choice than to comply.

Chief Odogwu: Thank you my king, I know I can always count on you.

King AZAZA: You have nothing to worry about, the land is yours already.

Chief Odogwu: Thank you so much my king.

King AZAZA: meanwhile, there is someone I want you to meet.

Chief Odogwu: And who might that be.

King AZAZA: my wife to be, an epitome of beauty. (He turns face a guard) tell the future queen there is someone she has to meet. (The guard runs off)

Nina has been transformed into s beauty queen. The attire she wore changed her completely and she looked absolutely beautiful. The guard had informed her that the king wanted to see her. His presence irritated her and she hated him with passion. She has been informed that being a queen was her destiny and she had accepted to marry the King so as to be the worm that eats him from within. She will make his life miserable and make him pay for all he did to her and the people of EKEH. She smiled as the thought of revenge felt sweet in her heart.
She stepped out in style walking down the stairs to see who this visitor was. And them she saw him. Immediately she saw him she recognised him. It was Odogwu, the late king OBAMA step brother and personal advisor, she remembered he had left EKEH with his family few days before the attack. She remembered Ajuwe's story of how their own kind man had sold them out. It was Odogwu, everyone knew that Odogwu was jealous of his brother Obama. He had always wanted the throne for himself, and so he used king Azaza to destroy EKEH simply because he couldn't be the king.

Nina remembered everything and understood it all. She recognised him well and she knows that Odogwu will also recognise her. And if king AZAZA should find out that she is from EKEH her life will not only be in danger but Ajuwe and Ikenna. She was confused because the king was waiting for her to step down. Just then the king saw her at the stairs.

King AZAZA: There she is (he points at her) come down my queen, come and say hello to my blossom friend.........
