In the morning, the heavens opened and it began to rain. Bella grabbed her umbrella to get to school, as she walked out of the hostel the first
Okon was so obsessed with Essien, he has been warned severally by his mother not to marry Essien, "when you have refused to tell me why. I love Essien and I want to make her my wife. I will die if I don't marry her," said Okon. His mother was not happy and she didn't say her reason for the hatred she had for Essien. "My spirit doesn't accept her that's all," was what she managed to say.
...
Unfortunately, Essien eavesdropped on her conversation with Okon. The next
morning she apprised Okon of her going home to see her father.
Essien returned home and complained to her father, a sadist, diabolic man in fact, he is a powerful native doctor. He immediately entered into his shrine to invoke the gods he worships and began with his incantation. Akpan brought white powder and began his magic, with the chants of the spirits and poured cowries to the floor, later he brought a red cloth with two caved wooden images, he tied them after calling their names for seven times.
"I bind the both of you, Okon and Essien, declaring you husband and wife, nothing shall come between you both till death do you part. I seal every mouth that may try to be against you too," Akpan declared. As quick as possible he nailed them to a tree.
Essien went back to Okon's house, they got married within a short space of time. Before anyone could know what was happening she had taken possession of the house.
Ruth was actually blindfolded and dumb too that she uttered no word against her anymore, all she was doing was mopping at them. Essien became evilly, she was treating her mother in-law without unreserved respect. To the extent that she cries like a little tot for her daughter in-law.
Her friend Esther came visiting one day, "girl see how you are dull and cool for your mother in-law, this hand you are giving her soon she will start blaming you for the cause of infertility. You have to be wise." she went on to boost her morale on how to hurt Ruth her mother in-law.
"if you want me to tell you, since you are naive, why don't you visit your father to get some charms. Remember you talked me into meeting your father in my own time when my mother in-law started with her trouble. Unless you want your mother in-law to sprang up against you soon," said Esther. She continued, "remember our Ozobulu friend, Cynthia, I took her to your father who prepared some substance for her which she used to delete her mother in-law. Yes, that's why girls don't want to marry a guy whose mother is still alive. I decept it as well,"said Esther.
She was just running her mouth for the past thirty minutes she arrived. She was on the verge of destruction; her quest for revenge, she wanted to destroy her friend's home whereas she lives in Peace with her own mother in-law. She remembered how Esther wanted her to kill her mother in-law but she used wisdom on her, though she followed her to her father but she never used the charm on her mother in-law.
Esther gave it a brief thought, after a while of silence in the house, she looked at Esther stunningly, "you are too much, do you know that I have never thought of this till now, you are indeed a friend. This woman though has been on a snail pace with me since I came in as her daughter in-law, she may turn around tomorrow changing to be a serpent and a thorn on my flesh,"she paused, and continued, "I won't allow that, I have to use the day time to look for the black goat before nightfall. In fact, there is no time it's getting dawn already," Essien rose quickly in anger.
"oh, you don't know that mother in-laws are wicked, I wouldn't know if they want their son all to themselves."
The next day Essien left for her father's house. She returned only to be welcomed by her husband with a cold look. She did not bother to find out but walked straight to the kitchen to prepare jollof rice. She served her mother in-law with the one she added some quantity of the potion. Okon was glaring at her.
Few minutes, she began to scream, my stomach, his son entered her room and Essien came in later, the took her to the hospital few minutes, "am sorry, she couldn't make it. She is dead," said the doctor. Essien was the first to dripple teardrop. Okon was only watching her every move. "Bravo! You are happy now, you have killed my mother your mother in-law you can enjoy her remains," Okon said dispicably.
Essien was shocked to see Ruth rose up, Essien was amazed, everything was happening same time. "yes, Esther told me the reason for your last visit to see your father, I told my mother not to eat anything you give her, "said Okon. Essien frost in the present weather because it's obvious that the rhythm of her life has changed.
