Episode 9

After the last visit Nnanna had with his dad in Mr Chigozie's house, and knowing that he has been fully accepted into the family as an in-law, he usually send gifts to Amanda's family, on two occasions, he sent fruits, foodstuff, and bush meat to Amanda's family, this time around, he decided to come by himself.

Nnanna: knock knock here.

Mrs Adaora: yes, who is there?

Nnanna: it's me, Nnanna.

Mrs Adaora: I'm coming

(and she walks to the door, opens it, and let's him in) welcome, my in-law, have a seat.

Nnanna: thank you ma, I came to see my Asa, Asa means beautiful.

Mrs Adaora: oh! okay, let me go and call her (and she walks to Amanda's door, and gets in, Amanda was lying down on her bed) Amanda, you have a visitor.

Amanda: who is it, is it Ngozi (with a lit up face.)

Mrs Adaora: no, it's uncle Nnanna.

Amanda: ah ah mummy, are you sure you're not mistaken, is it me he wants to see or Emeka, because I'm not a boy, and I'm not big like Emeka, or Udoka.

Mrs Adaora: Amanda, must you be a big boy before uncle Nnanna will want to see you, can't uncle Nnanna admire a good girl that not just him, but everybody in the village sees as a well brought up child, and want to see you?

Amanda: okay mummy, I'll be with him shortly.

Mrs Adaora: better (she leaves Amanda's room, and Amanda went to be with uncle Nnanna in a jiffy.)

Amanda: good afternoon sir.

Nnanna: good afternoon Amanda, how are you doing today?

Amanda: I'm fine.

Nnanna: why is your face not looking bright, is anything the matter?

Amanda: nothing is the matter oh, I'm not just in a good mood.
