The council of elders sat in one corner of the home compound sipping their refreshing traditional brew locally called busaa. The great Asweda sat next to them as he narrated his side of the story. Asweda, at the point of a fight with the young Oromo men, his leg was chopped off. This confirmed that indeed the already buried leg belonged to the great Asweda. Asweda narrated how he was forcefully pushed coincidentally into a very deep cave that saved his life. He imagined the painful death he would have suffered at the hands of the merciless Oromo young men. Life in a cave was not easy. He could barely see the sunshine or even feel the warm solar energy. It was freezing to withstand. He was in serious pain and could not access any treatment services. He endured all as he believed in the community notion that men are born to suffer. He had hope that one day he would come out of the situation. He was starving as there was no food in the cave. The only close associates in the caves were the rats. Asweda had spent almost three weeks without food. He grabbed one big rat and swallowed it alive as the poor rat suffered under him. After that meal, he had to come to terms with reality. He had to accept that rats would be his daily meal. He planned on how to spice up his meal. He thought of roasting the rats before eating. He could make fire by hitting two stones harder to produce fire. They would then collect wood available in the cave. The rats saved his life. After some time, his leg healed up, easing his mobility capability.

wow
It was now time for a ritual to be performed. It was really a bad sign to bury someone while he is still alive. The family had to perform a ritual function to set Asweda free. Without further a do, the family organized a very big ceremony. Cows, goats, chicken e.t.c.... were all slaughtered in an event to celebrate their long-lost family members. The council elders were there to give guidance on the process as they were keen not to break any taboo associated with the process. The traditional herbal medicine was availed, which was mixed with food. The essence of the traditional herbal was to clean up or reverse the already performed or alternatively reverse the burial ritual earlier performed. The entire community joined the family to perform the cleansing ritual as it was mostly a community affair. At first, ancestors had to be appeased in a special way. The council of elders poured down two pots of traditional brew in honor of the founder of the community.

good
The couple returned to their muddy hut and closed their door. It was now time to sort out their issues internally. "My wife, why have you brought me all this shame, why have you decided to expose my nakedness to the world", Asweda lamented in a low tone. Suzana cried for a while and then asked for forgiveness from her man. They reconciled and bonded their relationship. The house now gained happiness again but now had more tasks ahead. The couple had already reconciled, but now the heavy task was now to reconcile with the ancestors and the elders. They had to first present a male goat before the council of elders who would later negotiate with the ancestors on behalf of the family. The next step was to present another goat to be slaughtered to appease the ancestors. Finally, Suzana had to face a council of elders and ask for forgiveness. The hard test for Suzana was to face the council of elders. Convincing those elderly and passing through the process was a hard test. She was to have extra courage and good convincing power considering the tough questions awaiting her.

🥰👍
At that time, Suzana was outside looking helpless awaiting her punishment. The community was ready to execute its mandate and their option was to stone Suzana to death, as evidenced by the stones they were holding in their hands. Asweda was a good person. He was normally called "Imboko", which can simply be translated as a man with a strong stand. Despite the situation, he still stood with his wife. Asweda stood up, struggled with a walking stick and picked up his machete. He went straight outside and ordered everybody to disappear before he messed with them. Everyone ran for their safety and that is how Suzana was saved from wolves who were craving her blood. Suzana hurriedly grabbed her husband, hugged him and thanked him for standing like a man.
