EGG OF LIFE
Episode 6
Susan is sitted in her office when madam Sylvia walked it.
-just imagine the gold digger. Sitting on a stolen seat. Whatever you have used on my son that has made him despise us and love you, you had better start unusing it now or else, ISHI-ISHI will come for your head. You swine.
-hahahahaha, mother in-law susan replied, (she enchanted with ishi-ISHI’s slogan) “IKE DI NA AKWA NDU”.(There is power in the egg of life) I hope you can relate. AGWO ISHI-ISHI ANAGHI ELO IBE YA. (Ishi-ishi snake doesn’t swallow it’s kind) i hope you can also relate. Mama, unu merem thirty makachi(mama you guys really dealt wit me.) i know what you know. My candid advice, go home and mourn your loss i na nu? Have you heard?) Makana,okwa ifulu oche a, egwigom codedly.(you see this chair, i have come to stay). You can’t do anything about it. plea-se if you don’t mind, I’m very busy. Excuse me.
Mama was lost. She couldn’t believe what she just heard.
-susan, i thought you were a church girl. How come you know ISHI-ISHI?
-oh really ? Sorry to disappoint you ma’am. Are you not a CHRISTAIN MOTHER?, Mother in isreal, and you shameless boast of ishi-ishi openly. Your likes push people into doing what they don’t want to do. For once, let me see you and your daughters suffer. You had better dance to this tune because you have no choice. I know what you know. (Her phone rang. She picked.) hello, this is the office of the C.E.O of TONY bras-s. (To her mother in-law) let’s call it a day.

-stella owu aha mmadu? (Is stella someb©dy’s name?) let her come and drag husband na. Abeg, what do we do about the matter on ground. ISHI-ISHI is not helping matters o. He is taking sides with susan.
-hmmm, i can’t believe this, ISHI-ISHI asking me to leave. How many young ladies i have given to ISHI-ISHI and he pays me back like this? I will wait a little and if he is not acting to my favour, i will look for another alternative. Las las, i kill susan and kill myself.

-The number of hours you stay in that drum without screaming determins the number of months you will be unhurt. Now jump in.
Susan jumped in but could only endure for 3hrs.
-for three months, you will be indestructible. You have found favour before ISHI-ISHI. Henceforth, st©p going to church. re-move the bible from your house. Do not entertain anything church around you. Wear a t©uçh of red anywhere you are, everywhere you go.
When you are in trouble just make a wish. And it is done. HENCEFORTH, YOU WILL SERVE ONLY ISHI-ISHI. Don’t not eat bitterleaf soup. Do not take bitter cola, Do not eat red meat, chicken, or fish. Eat only snails.

You turned my husband into my enemy and made my life a living hell and to execute more wicked plans you c@m£ pla-ying MERCY JOHNSON? I am too smart for this nas-ty pretence. Get your stupid self out of my office. You and your family do not deserve forgiveness. What i have gotten myself into and the hvge price I’m paying, you all caused it. Get out. And, tell your mum, she has one day, that’s tomorrow to vacate MY WAREHOUSE ,else …… I was busy when you c@m£ in, use the door. Thanks.

———SUSAN WENT TO SEE HER MUM———-
-mum, in as much as I’m enjoying being in control, I’m suffering mum. I went to renew the STUFF yesterday. According to the priest, i found favour before the great ISHI-ISHI. I had to go throu-gh the process of FORTIFICATION.
-Wow, really, congratulations, meaning you are indestructible ? How many hours were you able to endure?
-mum, just three hours. I almost died. The pain was unbearable.(crying)
-ha! That’s just three months o. Kai, and that’s for the whole year.
-what???? For the whole year?
-my dear, that fortification was what Saved me during your dad’s burial. I was able to hold on for 6 hours. I feel seriously ill after that. I was made to swear before 5 powerful deities to prove i didn’t kill your father. Not for ISHI-ISHI, they would have killed me, even if i was innocent.
-mum, the worse p@rt is all i was asked not to eat. Mum, how can i live without eating fish, meat and chicken even bitterleaf soup?
-(her mum smiled) if you die, will you be able to eat those things ? It shouldn’t be a problem avoiding them to be alive.
-i should also avoid church. Mum, I’m in the choir. I should do away with any church stuff. I’m to serve only ISHI-ISHI.(tears) what do i tell my pastor? The choir,
-my friend forget those people. When you were suffering, what did they do to help you.
-Ehen, mum, do you know what? Brenda c@m£ to my office begging.
-hahahahahahahaha you don’t mean it. What did you tell her?
-the truth of course, bunch of leopards , i know them. Their new strategy won’t work with me. Ndi ara. I even reminded her to help me tell her mum tomorrow is the last day. I nee-d space in my warehouse.
-hahahahahahahaha my land-lady. Pepper them Nons£nce. Ndi ara.
