Part 9 (9)
It was now evening in Okunde and the sky was marvelously enlightened by a beautiful and round moon.
For the two lovebirds Babida the lumberjack and the young maiden Suzie, the appearance of the satellite had a particular meaning. It meant in the next two moons, they would get married.
So each lover was burning with impatience in their respective room and was coping alone with the coldness of the night.
Babida was lodged in the most spacious sleeping room of the administrative headquarters, the Governor's chamber.
The nights in the Commander's private apartment began to be endless and boring, for he dozed all by himself, without his other half Suzie who was staying in one of the guest rooms of the building.
Nevertheless the bachelor's life was soon going to end for the two soul mates.
"Only two more moons!" said Babida the lumberjack to himself before falling asleep.
The night flew by in its slowest pace ever, however the morning finally came up.
