In the evening we sat around the table as Gamu dished out for us.

“Did you tell her Furah?” The chief asked Furah.

Furah smiled. “I thought you would be the one to make such a beautiful announcement.”

The chief shook his head.

“Okay, I’ll do it.” Furah kept her smile although the chief was not returning it.

Brian looked back at me sadly. “Ma’am I’m really sorry.” He replied. “I can’t do that. We’ve received strict orders from your father to return with you. The whole country is awaiting your return.” “Please.” I begged him. “I’m sorry ma’am.” I turned to Malcomore. “I’m begging you.” “The boss is in front, I have no right to do anything I’m not ordered.” “I need him, I’m carrying his child.” “I’m sorry ma’am.” He told me. “If it were up to me I would let you stay since you are pregnant and maybe keep supplying you with proper food, water and clothes every week but it’s not up to me-“ “Malcomore do you want to wa

“Do you know that the whole country knows about our engagement? How will they react once they find out?” Nathan told me. “This is bad for the image of our business. Imagine this on the headlines partner’s future daughter-in-law gets knocked up by a caveman. Excruciating and very much humiliating. “ Francis said. “We might lose some of our clients.” Yoké started getting up and I helped him. “Genesis, I loved and trusted you.” Nathan told me. “I thought you had died in that plane crash, but here you are, in the arms of some villager. And you are even pregnant.” “Ask him when last did he even take a shower.” Francis said. “These villagers don’t bath.” “I can’t believe you Genesis.” Nathan continued. “You promised me that you would always be mine and mine onl

“How could you do this to us, Gamu?” I asked slapping my hands over my mouth as soon as I saw the people she was with. “I’m so sorry Rena…” Gamu told me. She was trembling with fear and shaking her head. Her hair and clothes were damp and her feet were covered in mud. “You’re sorry?” Yoké asked her angrily stepping out of the hut leaving me at the entrance. “I’m so sorry but I really had to do this.” Gamu told Yoké. I looked over at the Durans. They were standing with umbrellas and watching me. They were four. It was the same three people that had come the last time plus one more. The new man was a tall brunette and was wearing a black suit. He looked so superior compared to the others. For a second I wondered if he could be my father but he was too young to be my father. He looked in his late 20’s. When he s

“You have to go with them. I'll go to Kuja village. Gamu is right.” “No. What are you saying, Yoké?" I shook my head at him” “We will both run to Kuja village then.” “Please stay safe. I’m leaving now.” Gamu said quickly. “Bye Rena…” She turned to leave hastily. “Gamu.” Yoké called her. She turned back again. “Thank you.” He told her. “Just forgive me for what I’ve done and take care of this baby. Although I still can’t believe you two.” “We will.” Yoké said turning to me. “Bye Rena.” Gamu said. “Bye, friend.” I replied. She gave me a small smile, turned and left us.

I shook my head and more tears fell that he couldn’t catch in time. “We’ll both stay out of it.” “Without you everyone will back out, I will do everything in my power to keep the group together. And they won’t even know that you are not with us because I will lead them on the cliff and I will speak in your place.” “Our baby will need her father too.” Yoké hugged me and began running his fingers through me hair. “Yes she does but she needs her mother more.” He tried to comfort me as I cried in his arms. “Don’t do this to me Yoké.” “If the uprising fails, just promise me that our child will always be safe and happy, that you will give her so much love to make up for mine.” “Stop saying things like this.” He loosened his

It rained that night. Gamu told me it was the first time that it was raining in Toko for 3 months. She said that that meant that their God was very pleased with them, that's why he brought rain again. She told me that since it rained after so long, tomorrow there would be a celebration in the vil
