Okonkwo my love.

in The Ink Well3 years ago (edited)

I never did believe that someone you trust and love so much. Someone you call your husband. Someone who you have a child with. Someone you thought you knew all along, was nothing but a stranger to you. This was my case, this was my story.

Okonkwo My husband had traveled to the white man's land in search of greener pastures just after the birth of our only daughter. We had promised to wait and stay faithful to each other. It wasn't going to be easy as we knew. At that time I was still a young woman in my early twenties and as such I had so many suitors still coming around me. Okonkwo made us swear before the village Agbara ( deity ) that I would wait for him till he returned from the white man's land.

Always good to see a piece with a strong moral foundation. I enjoyed this piece, and the way you built to the climax.

Choi, didn't see that coming.
Okonkwo is clearly selfish, I believe agbara would still touch him even if was staged.

Although it doesn't sound like a staged thing as he claims, but in both cases she did the right thing. Okonkwo is unfaithful and is harming her with his actions, she deserves better.
