Mama, I am still waiting for your reply Ugo said as she interrupted Omali's thoughts.
Omali heaved heavily and said, An Ogbanje is a reincarnated soul into the same family. When a child dies and returns to the same family we call that child an Ogbanje, most of them are regarded as evil.
Mama people do call me an Ogbanje, am I an Ogbanje? Did my parents die because of me just like everyone says? Ugo asked continuously.
Omali hesitated for a while, holding Ugo's hand, and said. Ugo my daughter whatever people say about you do not take it to heart, you didn't choose your fate for yourself.
On hearing this Ugo's eyes were filled with tears she opened her mouth to say something but her tears flowed down forcefully down her cheeks to her mouth, but she still managed to speak, Mama what are you trying to say to me? Ugo asked amidst tears, This shouldn't be true Mama, pls tell me that you are joking, I cannot be an Ogbanje, I can't be responsible for my parent's death.
Shhhh!! Do not cry my child Omali consoled her, like I said you didn't choose your fate yourself, I guess this is what was destined for you.
