89 PREGNANT FOR A GHOST 6 (2/2)

Lady Izogie my name isPrincess Ayanna and am here in respect of someone dare to you.

Who can that be? I hope my babies are fine? for a moment she looked scared....

No not that and they are fine, keep in mind that whatever we want to tell you has to do with completing your joy, it has noting to be scared off so please relax.

Many years ago you knew Odo Junior Nwaiwu am I correct? Ayanna asked.

There was a stunned expression on lady Izogie face, nobody have ever linked her to her love before, ..... how? how did she know of him, now that she thinks of it this elderly couple has similarities to... hey! you people are giving me the chills, what is this ?

Who is that person? she asked, I can't remember him and what has he got to do with me? its been many years already she has come to terms that she was a single mother even without her own parents blessings she had done her best to raise their kids, apart from the occasional question of their origin they were any mothers dream of children.... so why are these people here asking about her sons dead father?

What she can't remember me or she is pretending not to ? Odo Junior was worried so was his parents.

Ayanna read her taughts and said, Lady Izogie I will give it to you straight ..... Ayanna breaths down, since you want to stall but be reassured we are here to do something noble. If you have heard about me then you will know I inherited so special abilities from my great grand mother and as we speak you will hear some strange things .... OK leave it! I will try my best to make you understand it all.

More than two decades ago you met and fell in love with Odo Junior Nwaiwu the feeling was mutual, both of you secretly tried to get your parents to accept your love, but both parents wanted other things for you and so you didn't get the support you needed even at that, your love for each other grew stronger and you decided to force your parents hand by getting pregnant, you tried for such a long time but it didn't happen.

Ayanna then looked to see how lady Izogie was taking what she was saying, seeing her engrossed in the memory of the past, she continued on.

On sad day, he came to you all he wanted was to be with you, it was like your feelings for each other tripled that day both of you couldn't understand it however, you showed each other how you felt and that ended being the pregnancy that brought fought your twin.

what you don't know was that your lover had died earlier that day and he just wanted to fulfill the wish both of you had that was why he came to you, he tried to inform you to take the children to his parents but you didn't understand him, he tried to tell his parents about you but yet he couldn't finish passing his message because they news bearer of hips death was already at his door step, he left his father abruptly and disappeared what was shocking for him was that he couldn't move on to the world of the dead on inquiry he was told his mission was not finished here at all, until such a time he can put all his unfinished business together he remains here.

All this while he could not find anyone to pass the message to you, or his parents by the way the elderly couple seated there was his parents Mr and Mrs Odo Nwaiwu.

Looking up with teary eyes she stared at them again, I said it, then Lady Izogie stood upsurprising every one present and went to the elderly couple and hugged them tears were streaming down her eyes she looked for them but she couldn't find them, especially the times her sons asked her about their family. Even now, if they wanted to marry from respected families then their roots must be known, no one was willing to give their child to someone without roots, she also knew Odo was Igbo but to avoid so many questions she names them in her own people's name now everything will be set straight.
