CHAPTER 10(THE ESCAPE)
Aku-nna was carried to her new home.At night Okoboshi came to their hut.Aku-nna said Okoboshi that she wasn’t a virgin.She said she had slept with Chike many times. Okoboshi believed this.But this was not true.Okoboshi hit her in the face and told this to his relatives.
Aku-nna was being kept in the hut of Okoboshi’s mother.Nna-nndo came to visit her and he brought a letter from Chike.In the letter he said”I will whistle after dark,when you go to the toilet.I love you.Chike.”
Later,Okoboshi’s mother came in and said her to go to Okoboshi’s hut and maybe he could forgive her.Aku-nna wanted permission to go to toilet.As they planned Chike came and they ran through the Asaba.Chike’s driver was living there and he would take them to Ughelli in the morning.
They started to practise.But all the lights went out and heavy footsteps heard.Some men kidnapped Aku-nna.Aku-nna thought that this was end of her dreams.Because according to a tradition if someone cuts a girl’s hair he will be her husband forever.
