Exploring my talent, putting it into use in the literary world for the benefit of humanity and promotion of communication
In the meanwhile her daughter in-law never knew what was happening in the island as
She has escaped beyond the reach of those who would have killed her, and has arrived at a
New island extremely far from her place. At this new island, she started working with one of the
Women of her island, whom she would not tell of where she has come from because
No one could be trusted. She lied to her that she was from the nigh by island and had
Fled the island when her husband was not taken proper care of her. The woman she was
Working with was sorry for her and says some men could be terrible, they will put a
Lady in the family way and would not want to do anything with the lady again. it is only
God who could punish those people the woman says to her as she comforts her, gives her
Accommodation and starts taken care of her. She started working for her and the woman
Becomes a good mother to her, but whenever it crosses her mind to tell her the real incident
That made her fled her island she will remember what her father in-law has said to her as he
Sternly warned her not to divulge the information to anyone because “walls have ears”,
And humans cannot be trusted, for the heart of man is deeper than the deepest wells, a
Person may swear heaven and earth to her that she will not divulge the information to anyone
But afterwards would go behind her back to divulge it to people, and then her life and
That of the child would be at risk because those leaderships have connections with one
Another and the person she divulges the information to may be linked to the leader who will

Tell the other leader the information and or pass it to someone else who will get it to
Where and who they do not want the information to get to, when this happens he would
Be arrested there and forcefully brought back to their island and he would have
Died for nothing. Thus, she kept mute on this and keeps living with her. Soon enough she
Puts to bed and the baby was a cute Young boy. She started taken care of the lady and
Rechristened him after the name of her dead husband because she loves him dearly before
His demise. The young boy grew and becomes one of the powerful boys around
The new island. As the culture of the island demands young men would undergo
Several trainings including the arts of war. He passed through these phases and
Becomes one of the most successful young man in the art in the island.
His mother refused to marry another man because of the love she has for her
Late husband and the sacrifice of her father in-law to save her, for all this while she has
Been thinking that her father in-law has been killed saving her life. She has started a
Business in the island and her son was making appreciable progress. She wants her son to
Be married in the new island but the culture of the new island they are living would not
Allow a maiden to marry someone whose father is not known. Things may have
Worked for him if her mother has taken another man as husband in the new island but
Since she has refused to be married to someone else within the island, her son could
Not be married to a maiden within the island. That is the island’s standing rule
Because they wanted to protect their citizens from getting married to a person whose
Any of the parents are probably disabled. They cannot know that a parent is
Disabled except they know both parents and in the case the parent is dead, having
Known the parents they shall be able to ascertain the kind of death he or she dies.
Yet another reason for insisting on this is that they would know if the father of the
Son is a woman beater, someone who does not cater for his wife before he dies, if such
A man is the father of the son, they know that the son would likely want to toe the path
Of his late father, beating his wife, when he is married to her, and they would not want
That to happen, thus, they usually insist on knowing the parents of the person who will
Marry their children, especially the daughter. For women bear the heat most in her husband’s
House. His mother has been telling him that his father was lovable, cheerful, caring, and he is
The desire of any woman globally, even before she gets married to her, while they were in
Courtship he has demonstrated rare features, such that many of his peers were telling him that
What of if his mother would not marry him, and he continues saying to them that it does not
Matter if she decides not to marry him, then he will look for someone else, for there had been
Many who guys have splattered love on that later disappoint such guys in their island, but he
Does not relent in showing her uncommon love while eyeing each other, such that she
Becomes the envy of many spinsters, and she becomes the object of discussion in their island.
It was not as if his family was wealthy, but his family is among the averagely living family in
Their island she has told her son. Having heard of these, his son told her that all of these the
People neither see nor know, lot to even talk about how she has maintained complete secrecy
About their island and had told her that if she does not want to divulge her island, that is okay
By him but she should consider re-marrying. He pressurized his mother to marry for
His sake but his mother resisted those pressures telling him that soon they will return to
Where he hailed from, and he will know that what she is saying about her late husband
Is the truth, but nothing but the truth. Soon enough she told him that he should get ready
To leave for his, yea their island, saying, while returning she will tell her some things he
Has been asking for from her for long. He told him that he has keeping those within her
Hearts because if is what has not been uttered out from a person’s heart that remains a secret
But immediately one utters out something it ceases to be a secret.
