Chapter 8---- Barewa

Chapter 8_____>>>>>>>>

Barewa.

Bintu's Pov.


     He kept glaring at me making me feel oddly uncomfortable under that stern gaze.

     If eyes could kill, I would have been dead by now.

     I cautiously applied the herbs on his leg with the scene from just a few minutes ago playing in my head.

     I raised my head to meet his cold ones. I quickly averted my gaze rounding up my work before carrying the herbs and exiting the room.

     The whole Family were seated on the mat sprayed on the floor of the small compound.

     I walked towards the small space which housed the kitchen washing my hands with the water stored in the pot before returning to join the rest.

     I sat down with a sigh near Tanimu on the mat.

     "Have you applied the herbs to him well?" My father asked me to be reassured.

     "Papa, you're questioning my skills now all because of a stranger" I said with a hand to my chest feigning hurt.

     "Do not confuse the situation dear daughter, I am not questioning your skills my dear" He reassured.

     "I have plans for this man, I have been wrestling for years and I can feel it when I meet someone with that spirit" My father said.

      "I can sense it in him strongly, he has the spirit of a wrestler" He added.

     "So....he joins the Barewa?" I asked wondering.

    The Barewa is Mr.Audu's wrestling Squad. Wrestling squads are common in the Zoms village.

     This is because people in the village have taken that as their main profession.

    It started from the forefathers and nobody is willing to let it die down.

     The Zoma village wrestling coaches each have their squad.

     Audu being the one with the most eligible and best players due to his training has the best squad.

     "Of course he joins the Barewa, The squad need players like him" My mother decided unasked.

     "Woman, you own the squad or I" my father said.

     "Do not tell me he doesn't join?" She asked sounding more like an advice.

     "You are right, he joins" my father declared to which my mother smiles in relief.

      "Papa do not tell me you'll allow a stranger to join us" Tanimu complained.

     I was just waiting for him to interject.

     I knew he must talk. He obviously felt jealous that the stranger he threatened might be better than him.

     "I am not telling you it's happening!" Papa thundered at Tanimu to which I lightly chuckled.

     Tanimu abruptly stood up and entered his room angrily.

     "Something that will benefit us all, this stupid son of yours is raising veins about it!" Papa said as he also stood up and entered his room still bantering.

     "So he is my son only when he vexes you" Mama said joining him.

     I sat still watching everyone as they depart in a foul mood all because of my brother.

    My parents are sure wise. They want to use the stranger to increase the profit in the Barewa Squad.

     They will enroll the stranger amongst the list of Barewa players so he can participate in wrestlings under the name of the squad.

    I stood up with a sigh before entering my room.

     The sound of someone coughing jolted me out of my senses that I almost ran out.

     I heard it again and that was when realization dawned on me that we have a guest at home.

    I peeped through the small window enabling me to see through his room.

    He was laying down in his bamboo bed, he seems to be uncomfortable as he kept turning to find a more comfortable position.

     His head was facing upwards, his habds folded underneath his head making his muscular biceps bulge.

    He is all muscles, every single trace and line on his body screams muscles.

   As If sensing someone's gaze on him, he immediately looked at me and I stayed still for some seconds before averting my gaze.

    I sat down on my bed regretting ever peeping at him, he will probably be thinking I was stalking him now.

      I took a deep breath before closing my eyes and allowing me brain to register everything that happened today.

    I did not even have the energy to change my clothing as I drifted to dream land.
