4thEntry: The
Anxious Moment
This is the time
where my life and death was depending on Agbala..
As
I started to tell story to Ekwefi, suddenly a loud voice from Chielo, priestess
of Agbala was heard and it stopped me from continuing my story. When my name
was mentioned by Chielo, I was really shocked and I could see Ekwefi’s face was
very afraid. The Agbala wanted to meet me but my father pleaded the priestess
to come back in the morning. I knew that my father was also worried about what the
Agbala would do to me. However, Chielo insisted and my father could do nothing
but to let her bring me to the Agbala.
Knowing
that I would meet Agbala, I shivered and my tears dropped out all of a sudden.
I was afraid that I would never see my family again if I follow the priestess.
Before I climb to Agbala’s back, Ekwefi comforted me by saying there is nothing
to be afraid of but as we walked out from my hut I was crying very loudly and
calling my mother’s name. What made me so touched was when Ekwefi determined to
follow us to make sure my safety.
Ekwefi
was so pity. She suffered especially when she followed us in the dark forest because
she could see nothing. My father was also worried about me and my mother,
Ekwefi, so he followed Ekwefi. My parents’ action has portrayed their love for me
that they were willingly to be in trouble just for my sake. I should treat them
the way they have treated me to show that I also love them.
