Pandy with Mama Sue Sabelle
“Mom our prayers have been answered a suitor is at hand.”
Mama Sue Sabelle
“Do I know him?”
Pandy
“No mom he has just arrived from the U.S an OBGN Specialist running Sohna Ndungu Gaye Specialist Clinic with a partner Dr. Phil a U.S. citizen, a perfect gentleman.”
Mama Sue Sabelle
“Has he proposed?”
Pandy
“Not yet mama first thing first we are strangers we have to get acquainted first then test compatibility if it is okay then we go ahead and I support his policy of look before your leap.”
Mama Sue Sabelle
“My fear is protect your own before some evil person snatch him from you and please don’t introduce him to any friend is my candid advice as a mother. It happened when I was young my best friend introduced his fiancé to me and another friend but the other friend went behind and stabbed her at the back by revealing her secret to the man because due to repeated abortions her womb was removed and we were the only one privileged to get the information because not even her mom did not know about it the suitor did not only leave her but started to woe our friend they travelled abroad and later got married my friend almost committed suicide but fortunately for her she married another person and also travelled abroad but just as it is said the Law of Khmer, nemesis caught up with the betrayer and she was divorced; my friend adopted children and lived happily with her husband she developed her home and took her family out of poverty and she also became a philanthropist; the day they bracketed at home the betrayer almost fainted and invited all of us to confess and asked for apology from our friend;”
‘I have forgiven you long time ago no hard feelings, Allah has fought for me isn’t it? What you took was not your own that’ why you cannot keep him you got him wrongly with desperation therefore he took you for granted what I own I have it and God bless it and I am now sharing the blessing with my family and my community.’
They hugged and prayed for each other.
As for the man he did come back when he divorced the betrayer but found out that our friend is married and has also travelled abroad. He regretted his action but it was too late. My daughter that’s why I never introduced your father to any friend and even after marriage I refused to entertain friends. I am sharing this lesson with you as my friend and eldest daughter.”
Pandy
“Thank you mom for the lesson I’ll always ponder over it thank you. Where is everyone?”
Mama Sue Sabelle
“Hoti Hor left with that witch Amanda.”
Pandy
“But why are you referring to that poor orphan as witch? Mama please stop the harassment I don’t like it.”
Mama Sue Sabelle
“What an elder sees sitting down a child does not even climbing the tallest tree what I am saying about Amanda you’ll come to see it when she strikes. She killed her parents.”
At Chief’s Residence
Mam’s parents asked after Pandora.
Haja Oumu
“Mam Biram what about the girl you introduced to us sometimes ago when are you going to tie the knot? Is time not running out?”
Mam Biram
“We are courting very fine and getting to know each other better you know I don’t know her she is Mbassy’ friend and what she sees as perfect might be different with what I see. Give me time and when the time is ripe we will do the right thing.”
Chief Kutubo
“I agree with what you say but it should also be time bound not infinitively.” Dad advised.
At Mam Biram’ Residence
Pandy came for weekend but she still continued to seduce him but he resisted the temptation and woke her up from bed where she slept naked but as he wants to hold her hand the phone rang again.
Mam Biram
“I have to go to the clinic another emergency excuse me.” He left.
Pandy
“What sort of temptation? What sort of life? Should I get into such a relationship just to have a husband? No! I have tell Mbassy about it.”
Pandy with Mbassy
“What sort of man is your brother?”
Mbassy
“What sort of question is that?”
Pandy
“He refused to tough me on the pretext of principle and even when we are playing he stops when the phone rings and he calls it emergency and would left abruptly how can I marry such a person? I have the belief that Mam Biram does not love me he is just pretending to say it is his principle not to touch me until marriage. I cannot get into such a relationship in the name of marriage what about if he continues the tendency even after marriage?”
Mbassy
“This is a great problem for me how can I introduce the subject he is my elder brother but my advice to you is to be patient also realize you are marrying a doctor who is very passionate about his profession.”
At Uncle Frank’ Residence
Mama Sue Sabelle is restless and cannot sleep Uncle Frank came and found her pacing up and down their bedroom and he asked;
Uncle Frank
“Sunshine! You are still awake? What is the problem?”
Mama Sue Sabelle
“Sweetie I cannot sleep I am just thinking of that witch Amanda until she is eliminated I can never have peace of mind.”
Uncle Frank
“Me too I am contemplating but don’t worry sooner than later I’ll find a solution to this pertinent problem.”
At the Chief’ Court
Land disputes are numerous and giving Chief Kutubo endless headache then Koto Baaba came to harass him about his son;
Chief Kutubo
“I am very tired please don’t bring Mam Biram’ topic to me now he has found a girl he has to marry and has asked me to give him time and I think he is right I am not going to mess him please understand my position I’ll not pressurize my son when he is doing the right thing.”
To be Cont.
