Who are you please and where do you get my number from, she asked.
Am Boro the voice replied
Boro?, and who gave you my number.
Your friend Iniye did, he added
Actually i call to inform you that, me and Johnson has gotten an admission to the Federal University of Akuba, Kaku to study Pure Chemistry, he added.
Okay, Congratulations to you and Johnson..
But don't call this my number again ok, She requested with squeezed face and she ended the conversation as she heard footsteps to her room. After some minutes, Iniye walked to her room and greeted.
Actually, I came to tell you that, Boro called me this morning and told me that, He and Johnson had gotten an Admission into Federal University of Akuba to Study Pure Chemistry, I also gave him your number and he promised to call even though you are angry with him, Iniye Concluded.
Oh!, Yes i just spoke with about it but i also warned him not to call this my number again or else he will see the other side of me, she replied Iniye.
But Pere-ere, what's your Choice of University and Course to study after this Lesson? Iniye asked.
Hmm, My choice of University is Kuku state University, Alulu and want to study Political Science and Conflict resolution, she replied excitedly.
Okay, But to me i want to Study Law in the same University with you, I want to make sure i sue those oil producing companies in the Coastal Part of Ijaw and pay the appropriate ransom to them and also give a tangible development to the area, Iniye Concluded.
Yes, you're right i believe this your idea will help the Ijaw nation and will make the oil companies to develop our region so that people living there will be recognized as humans and not Mermaids or bush people, Pere-ere added.
Pere-ere and Iniye were sitting down together in the living room when Doubra came, puffing from her escape from the hands of some thugs at the Million Party of Akuba(MPA) building in the street who were attracted by her beauty. Iniye and Pere-ere urged Doubra, the Senators daughter to calm down and she did so without arguing so that she can describe the incident to them properly , She explained how the party members and their thugs had taken over the whole street, people had to beg to be allowed to pass, some of them were asked to pay what they called as Passage fee. (She Omitted to say that Several people goosed her). I haven't told you my own story when i was coming back, since i came we were talking on other matters, Doubra your own experience is mild, I don't know how may of men touched my Ass because i refuse to give them money, one of them even wanted to kiss me but i slapped him in the face, Iniye added.
Lest, I forget that's not what i came for, i want two of you to come to my Matriculation Party at Kaku, If you two don't come, no party no me Doubra said.
"We will come " they replied.
The way she put it, Pere-and Iniye couldn't say no to her invitation. She offered to be responsible for their travel expenses but Pere-ere insisted that she shouldn't bother herself about that. Doubra thank them heartily.
Pere-ere would meet Boro at Kaku, were Boro is doing his studies, they would be lovers again as Iniye had told her to forgive Boro and she will be free from her own Prison. The following day, Pere-ere and Iniye traveled to Kaku, were Doubra had invited her for the Matriculation Party, when they arrived at Kaku but the news on desk wwe that, the Deputy Senate President has been killed so the Matriculation Party will not take place again.
So my "Party" cannot take place?, Doubra asked
Yes, her mom replied her.
Doubra showed Pere-ere and Iniye to her Mom, she described them as the Queens of my Kingdom, they are heart.
Her mother too welcomed them heartily and entertain them to the fullest. Pere-ere had thought inwardly, how better she is to Iniye and Doubra back then in Secondary School but now Doubra has gotten an admission to the University while they are still at home, Life, she felt was wicked. Doubra Father, who is the senate president couldn't be immediately seen because of the incident that occurred in the time and some election issues, so he can't be easily seen by the two girls which Doubra was eager to show him. When the senate president returned home he had to rush a meal and meet the leaders of his party and some Electon gangs from his Constituency. But instead Doubra persuaded him to see her friends first because they are going back. The senate President yielded and met his daughter's friends who were sitting at the Living room. After the introduction of the Senate President and the two girls, he advised them to Sun Politics and do something different in Life.Politics was not good for women, the female character shouldn't be degraded by Politics, he concluded. He gave them $700,000 for each for their back home transport, they thanked him but Doubra wasn't happy because they shouldn't have thanked him, that amount isn't the same kind of money he has been giving to the Election thugs?, she sighed.
At the Airport, Pere-ere and Boro met each other and asked for forgiveness.
Will you accept me again as your lover or Friend, Boro asked.
Hmmmm, Yes or No.
But why can't you just figure out a single answer and stop confusing me, he asked.
Okay, i have forgiven you but i can't tell you right now that i still love you or not, I will inform you of that, when i get back home, bye she said and went in to the Aero plain.
After Pere-ere and Iniye came back home from their tripe to Doubra's house, they were informed by Pere-ere's Mother that they are traveling to their Village because she want to give birth in her Village. Pere-ere and Iniye were excited because that was the first time they are going to the Village since she was born, They were born in village but left the village when they were babies.
She and Iniye dashed in to their rooms to get prepared ahead of the Journey.
Her Mother also informed them that, the Journey is starting tomorrow. What's bad in one place maybe good in another place, Pere-ere said.
Yes, i agree with you but Pere-ere what's your say on this?, Will you still go back to Boro and leave your Prison?, Iniye asked.
I will go back to him because i love him but let him call first before i will inform him about that, She replied.
Wow, that will be great, am sure he will call you because he need you in his life.
They both went into the room and were preparing their travel bag when Pere-ere phone rang, it was Boro she picked up the call and quickly said, Boro i have forgiven you so i don't have grudges against you.
Thank you Pere-ere, But what's your answer to my question, He asked.
Oh!, With that i have decided to inform you that i still love you and will love you forever if you don't cheat on me again, she replied.
Boro thanked her heartily, she also informed him that they are traveling to Kaima tomorrow suddenly she hear her mother footsteps and the Conversation was interrupted.
How long will you be in Kaima, Pere-ere asked her mom.
Not quit long but the road is roughly, we will come home after seven days of my Delivery, Ebiere Added. Now mom as early as you want tomorrow, i need to get my things ready before night falls and dose a little before Kaima people knocks at my door, Her mom smiled and asked her to go.
It was Ekio, her younger sister that came knocked the door at about 5PM in the morning, she quickly opened the door and was about yo say Good Morning dad when her sleepy eyes recognized her sister, What's the Problem Ekio, she asked.
Mummy said, you and Iniye should get ready for the journey, She Replied.
Pere-ere laughed, we will be with you soon. Pere-ere kept her word, in less than 30 Minutes, she and Iniye arrived at the Sitting room were Pere-ere Mom and Dad were sitting down. Akpoebi nearly wept, looking at his wife dragging herself towards the carpet ad it her full-grown up stomach was w heavy object she wwe pushing weakly in front of her and he felt it was wrong to for men to Abuse Women because what they are carrying is more heavier than mere pains.
Akpoebi called on Funpere to let them leave whrn the river is not rough. Funpere carried the Luggage into the car's boot and told Pere-ere and others to enter the car, He drove off to River Oboro were they have to use Local boats or speed boats we transport. Ebiere chartered a thirty-five-seater speedboat and they had loaded their luggages onto it, but the journey couldn't start yet because it was reported to them that, Pirates were at work somewhere in the River. After several hours , a few boats landed at the wharf which gave the fretfully waiting drivers and passengers there the all-clear. The hasty pulling out and Speeding off of many boats at the same time raised waves that frightened Many passengers who didn't travel frequently by water. The danger of River Oboro came from the recklessness of the boat drivers who often did not slow down as they passed one another.
Auntie see, Iniye pointed at a group of huts in an Hamlet, all the houses are built with sticks, she said. Ebiere told her that, this is what the Villagers are passing through even though they are the financial hub of the Country.
Pere-ere and Iniye was so afraid of the river waves and was likely to jumped out from the boat but no way.Iniye silently prayed yo God that, if really he want to kilo someone he should kill her and the driver but spare Pere-ere and Ebiere.But God didn't kill anyone -----They arrived safely to Kaima.
They saw a woman came out of toilet that was made by woods and Zinc along the waterway, she looked towards the jetty and saw Ebiere, who was been helped onto a step of the jetty.
Hey!!, Ebiere, she ran down the pier to the bank of the River and to the jetty happily calling her name Ebiere Akpoebi name brought several people to the waterside. The woman from the pier toilet hugged her very warmly before she saw the frown in Ebiere's face and then her bulging stomach.
Many people rejoiced about her because it has been a long time she has not come home, to see her people nor their Parents.
People started rushing out from their homes as they heard Ebiere is now in town after several years in the city and she is ready to deliver. The rumor of her arrival shaked the town and a small party was organized in her Husband's compound over their arrival.
After three weeks of Ebiere and her Children stay in Kaima, one morning she fell in Pain and was rushed to the Midwife's house, after several minutes of battling she gave birth to twins of which they were boys.
People began to praise their Gods, they normally called EGBESU in Ijaw nation.
Luckily that day, Akpoebi also arrived at Kaima.
Akpoebi in his part equally organized a party for his sons, he called them Ebiowei and Ebiowou Akpoebi.
