88 PREGNANT FOR A GHOST 5. (2/2)

Speak your message I will relate it to them Ayanna encouraged.

Odo junior then started the story of how he met Izogie and how he tried to introduce her to his parent but when he tried to find out how he can do it, his father told him he can't marry a Benin woman, that he would inform the uncle to organise a wife from the village for him he even ask that if I was ready I should help him write a letter to my uncle but I never did, but I did something elseI went to the lady whose parents also did not accept, since we loved each other so much we then decide ..... we decided to use ...use pregnancy

At this the couples eyes opened wide...what is he saying? They asked.

Let him continue, Ayanna cajoled.

We tried so much but we didn't succeed the day I was killed in that accident I went to meet with her and I got her pregnant. He waited for Ayanna to finish telling them what he said and watched their reactions.

Bia he impregnated someone? Mrs Odo asked?

Yes he did Ayanna answered.

He impregnated someone... hey! hey!! heyyy!!! I am grandma!

Papa Junior did you hear that you are a grand father.

Where is my wife and baby? she asked jumping up.

Laughing Ayanna answered babies mama.

Inukwa babies? how? did he return to still get her pregnant again?

No mama the lady Izogie had twins, and they are boys, their names are Osaro and Osaze, Ayanna said.

Mr Odo Nwaiwu jumped up, looking at the direction where his late son Junior was seated he started to hail him, Junior, Junior! my son you did not fire one but two at once, agile boy ah! So where are these boys and their mother now? how can we meet them?

They must be grown men now, are you sure we will be accepted? Mrs Odo asked, the uncertainty of the unknown reaction from them was diluting their joy.

We have to come here first to clear the things with you so we can all go and meet the lady after.

We will leave now since its late but we will be here in the morning so we can all go and see them, Odo junior will direct us to their resident, will that be okay with you? Ayanna asked.

Yes! yes!! we will be ready, Mr Odo agreed.

We will be going then, see you in the morning.
