Betrothed

Many years have passed after Osaro poison incident and she have now grown into a beautiful teenage girl at age 16.

Yesterday was the best day of my life said Osaro to her childhood friend Omege,

why won't it be when the dream of every girl has been fulfilled by you, you celebrated your sweet sixteen yesterday and everyone teenage girl in this community rejoiced and enjoyed with you and here you are saying it's the best day of your life, of course if not this what again did we expect to be the best or maybe marriage ceremony?

You have now pass your boundary said Osaro as she pursue her friend into their compound. Osaro! Osaro!! Mr Iruson called and she quickly ran toward her father direction, call your mother he said and Osaro left to call her mother, mummy! mummy!! Father is calling you she said as she quickly leave to go and continue her chase with Omege.

Mrs Iruson is seen with her husband discussing when a loud voice is heard; no she is too young and I would not allow it while I live, she must marry Mr Okhizu the other voice replied with a harsh too as Mr Iruson is seen walking out of the room.

The sun 🌞 has set and Mrs Iruson was still sobber due to the discussion she had with her husband, mummy what happened Osaro asked and Mrs Iruson quickly wipe out her tears and face Osaro nothing is going to happen to you she said and Osaro hug her tightly while they both weep. later that evening Mr Iruson came with some elderly people into the compound with only one looking like someone at the same age as Mr Iruson, He called out to his wife and their daughter Osaro. Mrs Iruson offered the guests some salutations while Osaro followed her lead, they were offered water and some drinks as the discussion begins.

these are the kinsmen of Mr Okhizu Osaro husband to be and this is Mr Okhizu said Mr Iruson, Mrs Iruson was perplexed because she could not believe that Papa Osaro could stoop to the extent of giving their daughter to his age mate, all she could do was to accept and be happy. Mr Okhizu was introduced to Osaro and marriage rites were performed with an agreement stating that Osaro will be giving to Mr Okhizu on the next Eshili festival ( Beans festival) and this rites were the beginning of joy for Mr Iruson and also the beginning of sadness for Osaro.
