133 CONCLUSION: LESSON LEARNED 4

Do you know the conditions for giving your husband here the wealth you talk about?

Edet!! tell your wife now the condition and rules that you were given let me see if she can still stay calm. Mrs. Irene ordered her son as she stared at the pair of husband and wife.

Mother ah! ehnm..... he stuttered to a halt.

Look I won't let this misunderstanding to continue, we are starting again on a clean slate in the little time a have left, I want to be happy and also the people around me and for this to happen we need to be open to each other don't you agree with me? Mrs. Irene voiced her thoughts.

Tinuke turned to her now sheepish husband and stared intently, then she asked him, is there something you are not explaining to me here? I suggested you tell me everything now for peace's sake.

Oh! what now! must I?

Yes!! but mother and her daughter in law answered in unison.

Well, I wanted to be really rich, I don't really know what pushed me but I wanted it at all cost, so when I met the seer and explained what I wanted he took his time to consult the spirits and then he told me that they said on the following conditions firstly.... i was not ... to help any one of my close family members most especially my parents and siblings secondly .... he became quiet with his head bowed.

There was a second condition? right?his wife Tinuke asked.

There was, just listen to him, hey Edet Paul Edet finish this we don't have all day, Mrs. Irene cajoled her son.

The second condition was I won't live more than 45 years of age this means...

Yeey! this man has killed me, Tinuke suddenly screamed and slide down the chair she was seated on to the ground, not minding her pregnant state,Paul you want to make me a widow at such a young age? and my children fatherless? how can you do this? for wealth?

Listen I figure they could have all the good things of life and make great connections before we lose the wealth or I die. He tried to pick her up from the ground but she wouldn't budge.

What is wrong with you? Did you forget so soon that you promised me forever and now? you have only 16years left people will say I was responsible for your death since you want to die so young, she cried inconsolably.

Stop crying my daughter, that was why I did what I did but you did not understand me at all.

How could you say taking away everything from him made it better? oh mother!... his life span is so shortened by what he did, Tinuke was no longer reacting angrily at her husband's mother though she was still very agitated it was because of her husband's condition now, staring at the guilty husband she found that he hung his head in shame and something else.... want was it? ..... pain? regret?

The day I had gone to see the seer the great and powerful man had told me the condition for my son's wealth but my heart shattered, how can my son die before my own eyes? how can such a thing be allowed to happen? it's the dream and prayer of every parent for their children to take care of them in their old age and finally bury them, but my son here chooses to die and leave me behind.

I was full of despair and I asked the man for a solution out of this problem. He told me there were just one I have to give my own life for my son, however, I get to be rich for those 16 years and when I die I can leave him everything without the consequences since I would have borne it.

But then, my son had to go and steal all those money again and left, causing the curse to revert back to him, Mrs. Irene Edet finished sadly.

Ha! ha! mother, i didn't know that! Edet Paul burst into self deprecation and his eyes shine with unshed tears.

I know, his mother replied gently, so, please come home I will bear the curse and when I die you can control it without the curse. Can we go back home now? Mrs. Irene asked as the children came forward to hug her.

Yes, mother! let's go we have already packed our things to come home if not for Tinuke's stubbornness Edet Paul Edet answered.

It's been a pleasure watching the family reunion but it's time to go, I still have to head out to Benin today you know Prince Martinz said to the group smiling.

Sorry my Prince we will be out in a jiffy

Mrs. Irene Edet said.

It was mission accomplished as Ayanna turned to the boy deity and said time to go, our work is done here, isn't it?

Yes! I still get to monitor my chosen victim for the next sixteen years.

Bye then! Ayanna turned and withdrew her self and aura from there.

Once she returned Hillary asked her to get some rest as she dismissed her both of them tried to catch their needed sleep.

After a few hours of sleep, she woke up refreshed to see a few missed calls from the Prince if not that the guards he kept around her said she was still inside and her personal assistant Ken said she was sleeping he would taught that she was upset with him.

They needed to talk about the wedding, he had a suggestion to make to her and he didn't know if it will be acceptable to her.

Her father called her just when she was about to dial the Prince her father's call came through.

Hello daddy!

How are you? Prince Martinz asked

Am fine father I have rested before you start nagging.

Thank you for your help as always, he laughed seeing as she has taken the words out of his mouth.

I will be meeting him soon to find out the time but be rest assured I will definitely keep you posted daddy, once I finish with you now I will give him a call and by tonight I will call you father.
