Chapter 7.
At the end of every year, family get together there was always a review, and during that review Abike Purity Adeleke was the topic of the opening discussion and the closing remark. This got Mr. and Mrs. Jude Adeleke devastated and troubled. At the end; Ma'am Bimbo came up with an idea, which she said was a price to be paid but if obeyed would yield positive fruit and outcome stating clearly that it was for Abi's good.
Mr. and Mrs. Jude Adeleke was asked to move Abi out of the house to the neighboring village to stay in an orphanage home or to the next three village to stay with a poor elderly woman who had lost all she had including her children and husband to a fire outbreak years ago.
This sounded like a bomb to Modupe; yes she wanted the best for her Abi, but disowning her a child she had carried in her womb for nine months was out of it. She cried day and night untill the holiday was almost over.
Abi not been aware of the arrangement was busy causing more troubles. Uncle D and family had to leave early because Australia was far from other west American's countries and would take distances to get there. In order to meet up with work and other things they had to leave early. The date for there departure was announced and everyone confessed how they where going to miss uncle D and his lovely family including all of Abi's sibling except for Abi who was not bothered about it. Unknown to everyone Abi had a plan she had been working on to execute for days. And the anouncement made her pick a date plus quickened up her plans. Iya Jude as the co-wifes fondly called Mrs Modupe, was busy arranging few stuffs for uncle D and his family to go back with. The other wifes also used the oppurtunity to encourage and teach Mrs. Dera certain naija delicacies she showed interest in. Abi's brothers and the other cousins also volunteered to take Erica and Eric to some place of interest in Nigeria; so as for them to take pictures have tales to tell there mates at school and also gain some knowledge about their country and father land.
Eric and Erica where taken to different places like the museum, milinium park, eagle square, few african restaurants, suites and others. Amongst the places visited by them was Nina's Farm. They saw differnt section and where educated on the benefit of both the crops and animals to mankind. It was really an exciting one for them all. During the parade in the farm Erica and Eric promised their siblings that they would not miss the thanksgiving ceremony and other yearly celebration with them no matter the distance. It was really a beautiful experience for the whole family except Abi who showed no interest in everything they did and never followed them to any of the adventures for once. She really proved to the whole family that no one mattered to her except herself and this hurt them so much especially her siblings.
One of the things that gave relieve in the journey was due to the absent of Abi they where able to do with few other people and Emerald was one of them, this made her overjoyed, and she didn't fail to show it, so everyone really enjoyed her company she was really an angel. Well Abi kept on with her plan not knowing that this particular one was going to hurt her the most.
