[2] The Kumara's

You act stupid sometimes." Ximnam said angrily and would have continued if his father hadn't stopped him by telling him enough.

He turned and looked at his father."Go get those vegetables, take them in and get two cutlass and two hoes."

Ximnam left to do as he was instructed and when he came out, his mother collected one cutlass from him and his father collected one too.

"Dakota, collect a hoe from your brother." Mr Kumara said to his daughter and after she collected the hoe, Mr Kumara told them that they're going to their farm, the one where they cultivated cocoyam.

The farm is due for weeding and that's what they're going there to do.

As they walk to their farm, Ximnam refused to talk to his sister who kept tugging on his wrapper.

In Altha, the male ties wrapper around their waist while the female ties it from their chest.

"I was drunk, I didn't.."

"Don't give me that excuse." Ximnam interrupted his sister, he began to look at her while still walking.  "He's going to come looking for you!' Ximnam sign in frustration. "I'm glad that you're no more with him, I never liked him from the beginning."

When they got to the farm, Dakota squat down and begin to remove the unwanted weeds, after she will add sand to the growing cocoyam root.

After working on the farm for a while, she began to feel pressed so she got up and went to the backside of the farm where they didn't cultivate on.

She untied her wrapper and then squat down with the intention of easing herself but just then, her eyes saw something.

"Argggg!

She screams when her eyes saw a dead body, her feet on it's hair.

Immediately her eyes recognized that it's a human, she pulled her foot away from it's hair while still screaming in fright.

She quickly tie her wrapper when she hears footsteps. It was her brother, mother and father's. Her brother has a cutlass raised in the air ..ready to strike who ever it was that's hurting his sister.

"What's it?." The three of them asked in an alert manner.

Dakota points at the pale body. "A dead body, I stepped on it's hair, I didn't see it." She cries ..still frightened.

Ximnam dropped his cutlass and bent towards the body, he stared at it for a long while before saying aloud.

"It's still breathing."

Mr Kumara walked over to where the body is. "Are you sure?" He asked and at the same time place his middle finger below the body nose. He did that to know if it's still breathing.

"It is indeed, lift it up!" He said to his son when he felt her breathing, although it is faintly.

Ximnam carried the body bridal style and they begin to head home in panic for they fear the person might die on them and they don't know who it is.
