TALE OF A CHANGELING

Episode 12

Mama which other son of yours are you talking about? She asked her grandmother still looking at her for answers. Omali cried uncontrollably she couldn't hold back her tears, her eyes were so red as if she has an eye infection, the pains in this old woman's heart was indescribable, the bricks of pains agony and sufferings were suffocating her heart, she coughed continuously struggling to breathe, Ugo ran into the hut and rushed out with a cup of water.

Mama has some water She said passionately with a concerned look. Omali took the cup from her with Ugo's hands still supporting the cup from falling because her grandmother's hands were shaking continuously.

Omali heaved a sigh of relief after she had gulped down the water, she turned and looked at her granddaughter who was still looking at her to make sure she's alright. Are you feeling better now Mama? Ugo asked.

Yes my child I'm okay now, thank you so much

After her reply everywhere turned into a graveyard, it's only the chirping of the birds the beating of their hearts, and the sound of the gentle breeze that is moving around the corners of their compound that could be heard. The two were lost for a moment in their thoughts, Ugo was worried, she couldn't raise the question she asked her grandmother earlier, what if something more serious than this happens to her again because of the question she asked? She decided not to ask her anything again though she was still curious to find out what her grandmother was talking about.After her reply everywhere turned into a graveyard, it's only the chirping of the birds the beating of their hearts, and the sound of the gentle breeze that is moving around the corners of their compound that could be heard.
