Chapter Ten
The mighty hand landed on Mama fashion as she screamed out in pain from her sleep while in the hospital.
“ha! Jesus! what type of dream is this?
she said looking around as she looked over to Obinna bed as he his still sleeping.
“so, if I should go to Mama Ada house now to confront her, this is what would have happened ha! never! I will not try it, I will rather go to my Reverend father and beg him for my negligence for not adhering to his word. This one is not the matter of physical battle at all, I must make sure that girl leave my grandson alone. She said as she began to pray

Several days later I became whole but still can’t speak as I got discharged. I took a piece of paper in which I was given a pen and I write down asking my grandma about my parents as she said they are still in coma that all we need now is God intervention. I knelt down in tears calling on my parents in my heart.
“it’s okay my son, it’s okay. You know you just got discharged and I don’t want anything to happen to you again Biko!. She said carrying me up.
She said I shouldn’t worry that she believes it is the work of Mama Ada and she will surely deal with her that we should go to her priest first.
π·π·π·π·π·π·π·π·π·π·π·π·π·π·π·π·
On getting back to the village my grandmother made sure no one knows what is going on as she kept me in the church for some days while I stayed in one room provided by the priest until one day.
I sat beside Emeka in the church as he couldn’t let my ear be in peace and couldn’t stop talking and raining cur ses on Ada’s family for putting me in this mess infact, I felt like slapping him as I kept demonstrating with my hands telling him to be quite.
“shey you don see now ehn, your stubbornness and useless love as landed you dumbed Kai! you see your life city boy, see how you’re demonstrating hands for me to speak.
I turned away from him .
“or should I go and call the Ada for you?. He asked turning me back to him.
I knew he’s not serious about it as he is just trying to make fun out of me mtcwee. my grandma came in with Emeka mother as they told us to let go, I wondered what is going on because I knew we came for deliverance.
“so, why leaving again?.
We kept going until we got to a mountain and a man came out with four others holding a mantle and anointing on their hands. I was told to knee at their center as they surrounded me and started singing and then switched to prayer along with my grandma, Emeka and his mother.
“let us pray that any rope tying down obi Should be pull out by fire!!!! oya pray!!!!
I closed my eyes as I joined them in praying also and in no time I saw myself being tied up in a mighty ocean screaming out for help.
Ada π
Her mother and father ran out of their house after being told that Ada got carried away by water at the stream while fetching water.
“my daughter! my daughter oooo. she shouted running down to the stream barefooted along with her husband as they called out her name.
On Arriving at the stream as people are already gathered looking for her, her mother jumped into the water in other to go find her as her husband held her back with some other people as she struggles with them to leave her alone to go look for her daughter.
“leave me oooo leave me!!! let me go and look for my daughter, nothing must happen to her.
she dashed back into the village running to Ezemuo shrine.
“Ezemuo! Ezemuo oooo please help me! my daughter! my daughter ooooo
He came out telling her not to shout at his shrine why asking what brought her.
“is as if the goddess have taking my daughter from me”. She cried out on her knees begging him to please help her while her husband look at her and Ezemuo confusing on what is going on.
“what as the goddess got to do with Ada disappearance?. He asked Ada mother who is not ready to answer him.
Ezemuo chanted and turned towards Mama Ada angrily.
“you have offended the Queen of the ocean Olanma! I told you the last time you brought your daughter here that the requested sacrifice you promised to fulfil that have been seen should be brought here but you refused ever since. And you know already that if the person is not brought here your daughter will die before her 18th birthday. He said in which she broke down in tears wailing and telling him she has tried all her possibility to bring him secretly but he’s not the easy one to get.
“Olanma, don’t tell me everything I’m hearing now is true? so, you actually know the reason behind Ada possession ha! women! women!!!!. Her husband said with his mouth opened.
“leave my house right now if you know you don’t have what you’re supposed to render. Ezemuo shouted at her and went inside his house.

At the stream the boat rider found Ada body beside a big rock along the stream as they carried her back to where people are gathered. immediately they saw the boat rider they all jubilated thanking God that she is found.
Her mother ran out from the back and dashed towards them to see her daughter and realized she’s unconscious.
“Let carry her to Ezemuo!!. she shouted as her husband pushed her away carrying Ada while beckoning his friend to follow him that he is carrying her to the church.
“why church?. A woman asked.
“Ezemuo place will be better.” Another one said as some joined in saying Ezemuo place is better.
Ada father ignored all of their saying as he hurried away carrying her to the church while his wife and some others followed.
“but, why is he carrying her to the church when is not that the pastor could prescribe medicine or heal?. An old woman asked a pregnant woman walking along with her.
“who knows maybe they felt she might wake up and start manifesting again but, if she’s in the church and by prayer God can save her. She answered.
“yes now, this is what I have been expecting Ada father to do all this while but he’s always obeying his wife by following her to Ezemuo shrine abi you don’t know that power pass power. Another woman said while the old woman nodded her head.
“you’re right ooo because when she said earlier that they should carry to Ezemuo shrine the husband wouldn’t have hesitate to carry her and followed her there but instead ignored her and now going to the church. She said while a little boy who was running to the front step on her unknowingly.
“look at this boy ooo. she said angrily.
“mama sorry, let get to the church too and see how it will end.
