Chukwuemeka
Its a beautiful morning at Buguma village and Chukwuemeka just arrived home from the forest. He finds his mother busy swipping and singing. "Mama, why are you happy this early and what are we having for breakfast?" he said.
"Ah! My son we are having Karri for breakfast, today is a very great day." said his mother.
"Mama I want to ask you something very important today and I know you can get angry about it but I just want the truth."
"My son what is it you want to ask?" He looks at his mother hesitating to ask.
"Mama who is my father" His mother sit down on the chair and his son follow.
"Your father is at the city and he is happy where ever he is and if he wants you then he will look for you" He is still not convinced by his mother responds.
"Mama you know Ike the drunk man always calls me King I don't why he says that. Sometime I think is because he is always drunk." His mother looks up at the sky,takes a deep and looks at his son.
"Emeka my child all things will be clear when time goes on.For know it might not be making sense but once the gods speak it will be clear."
"Okay , Ma I have heard you.Another thing I wanted to tell you was that I need to go to the city to work for us to survive.
"Emeka going to the city is not an option you can't leave your mother alone in this village.
"I understand but mother the are no groceries in this house and we have to pay our debts. If I find work at the city I will then bring you to stay with me." His mother is not really happy with Chukwuemeka's idea .
"Mama here at the village the are no job opportunities . Let me go bath and get ready to go to the village square to buy some groceries"
His mother is still sitting and she is in deep throught. "What will I do if my son find out what his identity is, will he hate me for choosing what is best for him. Hei!! God please protect my child for me and guide him.
