FIVE SCARS OF OLIVA

Chapter 10

..
We arrived at a richualist's house and I did a fast eye scan, but my brother was not there either

"Where is my brother" I forgot about greeting manners for a moment, "You said he'd be back home early yesterday but he is not home yet"

"Are you running crazy young girl?" He asked politely

"What?!" I fired up, "It is you who is running crazy not me.. bring my brother right now!"

"You killed your brother on your own yesterday, you must be the slowest learner in your class if I'm not mistaken.." He replied as calmly as possible

"Kill??? Me??? I killed him myself?? You must be crazy, how could I ever dare... I nee..."

"This all doesn't make sense, can someone matured explain this?" Interfered mom

"Your daughter took a knife with her very own hands and slaughtered his stomach open.. All I did was help, she wanted to get money out of his stomach and I had her wish granted" he explained

"Nooooooo!" I fell down and sobbed, "You said he'll be safe, you promised he'll be back home"

"Shut up, you needed the richual, I did the richual and you completed it on your own. Your science teacher must be so dumb that he never taught you that when you slaughter someone's stomach he dies. In fact, your level of stupidity is over rated.." He shouted

"You are evil, you are so evil" I lost all the strength to speak

"Richualist" My mother tried to act strong, "Don't you know that richuals are forbidden in this village?"

"I know, but I was sitting alone on my own till your daughter brought herself to me and later her brother... I did not perform the richual, she performed it" he was still calm

"But she is young, you should have stopped her... she didn't even know how people die, she has never seen a corpse before and even a richual, she had no idea of what it was in the first place.." nailed mother

"That is non of my business, she is your daughter and you have full responsibility to teach her. If you were hardworking, she wouldn't search for money and richness so desperately at such a young age.. why am I talking to you in the first place. Leave!!! Leave right now!!!" He shouted

Endless tears and sobs controlled me.. I felt completely exhausted, "I want to die mama, I can't breathe" I said while mom was busy dragging me along the way.. " This must be a dream ee!! Yes, I'll soon wake up from this bad dream"

Mother said nothing till we arrived home, she pushed me down like a luggage and went inside the house.. Trust me, I felt numb.. I guess even if someone threw thousands of stones on my face, I wouldn't fell any pain.. I was in pain, I still didn't believe that I killed brother Abel and didin't even conduct a proper burial for him

"Mama say something, where is he?" I heard sister Jenipher asking eagerly

Mama said nothing, I heard loud cries and sobs filling the house within a blink.. "I can't live, I'm dying with him.. yes I'm going with him" I stood up trembling

"Jenipher, bring Oliva inside" I heard mother instructing, I needed to run away so fast and die but my body wouldn't allow me.. I was trembling

Sister Junipher followed me outside at grabbed me as I fell down again.." I didn't kill him sis" I whispered and fainted

..Jenipher's POV..

"Mamaa, Fransiscaa!! I need help.. Oliva has fainted" I screamed

Mama and Fransisca came running to help. We were all in great pain of loosing a brother.. I knew how strong the bond between Oliva and brother Abel was, she had every reason to be in this pain.

We did all we could to help and finally, our little pumpkin came back to her senses, this girl is really an egg.. we can't sleep or eat anything when she is out of mood leave alone when she is sick
