You are a reincarnated being, you are an Ogbanje, but I don't know if you are the one responsible for your parent's death Omali said calmly to her.
Ugo placed her head on her grandmother's lap and cried uncontrollably.
Long Long ago in a land called Achala, there was a couple who was detested by all, everyone in the land of Achala treats them as outsiders, in fact, the maltreatment they got from their people was more intense, unbearable, and heartbreaking than that of an OSU. This couple was not just facing this problem of being treated indifferently by their people, but they had another bigger problem which was eating up their flesh, it's their childlessness.
Despite being married for Seventeen years, there was still no sign of any child, everything which was recommended to be done to have a child was done million times yet it was like pouring water on a stone.
They kept on crying to Chukwu Okike every second every minute, every hour, and every day to wipe away their tears and bless them with a child.
Wasn't it enough that you have punished us by making us become this being that our people have rejected, even before we got married our People kept on saying that we deserve to be together, from the onset they became a matchmaker for us, they dictate every aspect of our life, all of these is painful and Heartbreaking for us to bear Chukwu okike, still you have refused to bless us with a child, that will keep us happy at least, it's as if you are punishing us for a sin we committed in our past life which we know nothing about, since we are both an Ogbanje, please forgive us Chukwu Okike, forgive us and give us a child.
These were the words of this couple every day as they pray to Chukwu Okike.
