Ego hasn't finished the sentence when he dropped the clay pot on the red earthen path and chased after her again. She screamed and ran as fast as she could into one of the bushes close by but she had hardly taken five steps when he caught up with her; dragging her to the ground with him and rolling on the dry leaves like puppies. After a while, they made love passionately as the squirrels and birds witnessed the whole event. When the exercise was over, they both laid on the ground exhausted, looking at each other.

He was passionately staring at her before saying ”I really miss you; I would do and give anything to be with you again”.

The words of her husband brought pain and sadness instead of joy, he just ruined the moment with these words. She turned away from him trying to avoid his gaze before asking

”So you knew you were going to miss me but you left anyways?”

”Are you angry at me? There was nothing I could do. Do you really think I chose to die and leave you alone in this wicked world?”

Tears began streaming down from her cheek as she said ”How would I know dim? You left without any word, not even a goodbye”.

His palms cold like it was morning during the harmattan season ”I killed him and I will stop at nothing till you join him in the grave!” he whispered into her ears in a familiar voice.

That was when she woke up to discover that it was a dream. She has been having similar dreams since the death of Nnanna but since she came back from the forest, the old lady has become a nightmare tormenting her.
