Division of Love

"Greetings my inlaws.Azuka greeted Nne's uncles and family members.

" Greetings to you too,i can see you have come to perform the marriage rights.Nne's father asked.

"Yes sir.Azuka responded.

" Ehem,Aku!Nne's father called her mum

"Yes Nnayi.

" go and call your daughter Nne,she's the person  getting married she should be here.

"Okay my inlaws i will be back...

    Nne's  mum went inside the bed room,she told her that her inlaws are waiting her.After her uncles confirmed the necessary native items their inlaws were asked to bring Nne traditionally got Married to Azuka he took her home as his wife.some women including Nne's mother and elder sister all accompanied her to her husband's house that night.Azuka mother and everyother member of the family were all happy that Azuka now has a wife.Azuka had two sisters which where Adanna and Ozioma,they both loved Nne like a sister.

     Nne had an elder sister and a younger brother who's name was Izunaya and her sister Mmirima.In Nne's family which were the Agu family,Mazi Agu Nne's father was a traditionally made man.He followed the foot steps of the four father,he believed that training a female child educationally was a waste of money because one day she will get married only male children are to be educated.

Nne and her elder sister Mmiriam both dropped out of school because of their father's believe even though their mum tried to make him see reasons he still refused.

   Nne's father was very happy that one of his daughters is now married he should start looking for Mmirima.

Azuka was a hunter,he used hunting to earn a living,he tried his very best to make ends meet now he has a wife.

After Nne made dinner she served Azuka his in their room.Since Azuka got married him and his wife Nne both eat in their personnal room.

" I want to talk to you Azu.

"Okay what is that am listening.

" i want to start up something

"Something like?

" a business,i want to start my own business i want to assist you cause from what i saw you are the one catering for the family you alone pay Adanne and Ozioma's school fees and now they are about writing waec,you are the one going for the expenceses.

" no but you need asistance

"Worry not my love everything will be fine

" Amen,eat your food am going outside to set with ozioma and adanne.

"Okay when am done i will join you

" okay.Nne responded.

     Nne still wanted to start up something,

She wanted to help Azuka in the house expenceses but it seems like Azuka never wanted to see things through her own paspective.The next morning Nne took her break fast outside Ozioma noticed that she took her food outside but she was not even eating the food then she walked up to her and asked what the the problem was.

    "Bia Nne why did you suddenly bring your food outside do brother even know i thought you both eat together or did you both had a qurell? well it normal.

" it not it..

" then what?okay you brought your food outside you are not even eating.

"i was imagining how my life would have been if i was in the university.

" Mmmm my dear i can feel your pain even though i have the privillage am not sure am going cause brother don't that much..

"Yours is better God will make a way but mine i was refused the right of education am not living a fulfilled life am married,yes to a wounderful family but...this isn't what i want.

" in this life Nne be it good or bad there are testimonies,you should be thankful to your chuwuokikeabiama that your father at list gave you the right to choose who you want some didn't find such privillage.my only prayer is for my brother to make it in life then am sure your problems are gone.

"I can remember does days,in junior secondary when teachers will ask us what we want to become i will always shout Lecturra but look at me a village house wife.

" don't talk like that Nne.ozioma said wipping Nne's tears.

Nne was angry with her dad she never bothered about him.when Nne finished eating she went inside their room Azuka asked her why she ate outside she told him that she just felt like eating outside.Later in the afternoon when Azuka went for hunt she(Nne)dressed up then went to her family house which was not far from her husband's house.

"Nne how are you? am very happy to see you oh.Mmirima said hugging her.

" Am fine big sis how are you too.

"As you can see am fine.

" Where is mama?

"She went to show the palm canel cutter our palm canel they are all set for harvest

" oh okay

"So how is your husband and his family look how you are shining.

" Mmm they are all fine what of izu?

"I forgot to tell you that izu now has gained admission to the university,so he has left for school and he will only come home during holidays.

" so father is sponsoring Izu's education but we his own daughters he refused truly am very angry at father and for the rest of my life i will always bleam my chi for giving me a demon as a father.

"You speak as if you are the only one suffering,do you know how much plans i had for myself but no father wants us to suffer and he is not ready to listen as a father at times my friends usually ask me if he is my uncle they refused to believe his our father.was that why you refused to ask of him?

" yes and i have sworn never to even though he dies i will never mourn him.

"My dear sister don't speak like that okay,no matter what his our father,let thank God he even gave us privillage to choose a husband he did not sell us off.he promised to wait for our suitor but education he can't give us.

" at times i fall emotional when i remember this issue but thank God for my sister inlaws they are always there to confort me,they are about to write waec.

"Who is writing first?

" it Adanne cause she is the one in ss3 but ozioma is still in ss2 but before you know it she also wil write.
