"Herbs will not be able to save you.., "an old woman murmured.
An old woman murmured, murmured for what??
It was a wondrous morning, when a paternal auntie of Misses Nadia started a great conversation with her brother's daughter concerning marriage. This lady was busy fulfilling the Baganda's cultural norms that a fiance's fiance must be well equipped with the marital knowledge directly from his sister.
"My daughter Nalugo Nadia, if you're ready for a ready man, you must listen to me carefully ,because I am the marriage constitution for you.. Understood?? "
"I have understood dear my AUNTIE.. "Nadia acknowledged, and this compelled her auntie to commence as if
she had hardly told her brother's daughter any word!
"Nadia, can you please listen to these words carefully? I am your auntie, but if I was your father and your father was the staunch me.., it seems that I am to be seen like your father by you.., and for sure take my words seriously. "emphasized auntie Namanda
.
"First of all, put the Lord of Heavens and the Continents at the source, and never betray yourself to Him, as for Him is never betrayed.
Secondly, never engage in the door to door rumours, the problems which come from those rotten habit goes viral.
Thirdly, never and never make your food to be like a miracle to your husband,I am repeating this; never do it because a man with hunger does three things:-becomes angry quickly, lacks libido, and he is being seen falling in love with restaurants ' maids, so feed your man well.
Lastly, just listen to me wisely , dear Nalugo Nadia, I think you have heard everything from me, any mistake in marriage, to throw the shame on me..., it will deafen your pair of ears. This will be a good symbol that I was nurturing a deaf brother's daughter.
I wish you a happy marriage.., Nalugo Nadia. "auntie Namanda concluded.
The following day, the introduction ceremony was done at the courtyard of Nadia's father,the party ended up in happiness. The religious priest concluded the party by arranging the bride and the bridegroom to vow as below:
"I Moses Lwembawo swear that, I will love Nalugo Nadia till the Nalubaale lake perishes. "he blissfully ended, and this forced his bride to continue as below:
"I Nalugo Nadia, swear that, I will love my Lwemba Moses till the end of the time.. "
After aloud screaming of the people at the ceremony, the master of the ceremony Kyanda closed everything, and Nadia was taken to the new world known as Marriage.
Marriage is cool when it's components are cool, but when a party becomes stubborn, only the mighty prayers can stabilise it! How could an informed wife; Nalugo Nadia, start the rumours with her fellow friends that her man was impotent! Who checked his manhood before the marriage?!
The following morning which was marking the half a year of Nalugo and Lwemba's marriage, Nalugo packed all her bags and baggage claiming that she wasn't ready for an impotent.
The father of the separated woman called Serugo ,miraculously set his eyes on Nadia and he wondered seriously!
"Hiii,,omugole(as the nickname for a brand married woman in Buganda kingdom), didn't your auntie tell you that; once you get married that there's no moving up and down to your friends and family unless for a special reason?!You completed six months yesterday but one, isn't it? "he interrogated.
"Yes it is dad. "Nadia replied with a soft voice, and this compelled her father to enrage.
"What is the matter for your return? And again, why have you brought all what you didn't buy? Are you a thief?? "Mr. Serugo angrily questioned.
The men's issues some times go rude, remember Nadia's mum was in the category of the Late and for such a reason, the single father was nearly drowning into the floods of problems.
"Live, Nadia leave this home, go go go, go to your auntie for marriage law revisions!"Mr. Serugo angrily warned.
Nadia left her father's courtyard and she hesitated to go to her auntie, hence returning to her friend's homestead by the name of Nabulo .
"I am glad to see you Miss Nalugo"
"I'm welcoming you Nadia,what's wrong dear?!"Nabulo asked in a conscious way.
"Naye Nabulo,what's wrong with you? You're quarrelling to me.., instead of welcoming me.., I have no friends by now!! "Nadia shouted. She overturned to another friend and she seemed to be the same as deaf as the first one.
The latter continued like that till Nadia fell asleep on the verandah of her auntie, begging for a pardon.
"Next time, listen to your AUNTIE carefully. Return to your marriage right now. "Auntie dictated.
