All Chapters of Till Worlds Do Us Part : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Uma stopped playing his flute and came to sit next to me at the entrance of the cave and we watched the birds fly in circles together.  "Did you like the song?" I nodded. "You play really well." "My father taught me to play. And in turn I taught Yoké." "How did you two become such good friends anyway?" He smiled, as if he could see the whole memory playing out before him. "We first met at the farm. I was with my father and he was with his. And our parents were assigned to work on the corn together. And they began to speak.  As a result, Yoké and myself spent a lot of time together that day as well. And you know kids, it didn't take us long to start talking like we

Next morning we were woken up by someone calling Yoké's name. I jerked awake, which in turn woke Yoké up. Standing before us was a little child, a girl. She was topless and wearing a little skirt. "Yoké are you sleeping?" she asked him. Her voice was soft and pure. I looked around, it was broad daylight there was no one else around besides this child. I got out of Yoké's arms quickly. "It's morning Yoké." "I hope no one saw us here." Yoké said. "Beki where is your mother?" "She's coming." The child responded. "Let's go Genesis." He took my hand and we went the other way quickly.*** Yoké took me back to the cave and we stood against its walls and waited for Gamu. "When will you go see your father again?" "Maybe tomorrow morning." "I want to come with you." "Uma told you about their princess. I don't wan

When we got to the great bamboo wall that separates our village from theirs, Yoké moved a few loose bamboos to one side and told me to crawl under to the other side. When I was through I held them to the side for him too. When I looked around, I noticed the forest continued from our village into theirs, it was just separated by a line of green bamboo sticks. And there was no difference between their forestry and ours. “Now we are in Kuja village.”  “So what’s so different between the Kuja villagers and the Toko people?” “Just the believes. They allowed foreigners into their land to lead them astray from the Gods.”  “Which foreigners?” I asked him.  “By the way, the people here also speak Loke and Kwali like us and a b

We sat around the wooden table and ate. Gamu cooked green beans today. I was now used to her food and enjoyed every one of the different food she cooked.  “Tomorrow morning there’s a ceremony.” The chief told Furah and I. He avoided my eyes as usual. “Before the sun rises. Furah tell your servant to get Rena ready in time. We can’t be late.” “Who is it?” Furah asked the chief. “Someone we wouldn’t have believed could do anything like that.”  I did not understand what they were talking about. I looked towards Gamu. She shook her head slowly and I understood her. This ceremony tomorrow was not something we would be happy about. There was trouble. 

When we got to the hut he went to the side and put me down on the bench and then stood before me with his hands on his waist. I looked up at him with a scowl. “I don’t even know where to start.” He said biting his bottom lip like he always did.  I didn’t say anything. “Okay, first of all why did you just leave Kuja without me? I thought you were supposed to wait for me.” I didn’t say anything.  “Did you remember your way back?”  “No I didn’t, I’m still lost there.” I said sarcastically.  He smiled shortly. “Anyway, about the Princess, you spoke to her. I was so scared when you made a scene in front of her but I should have trusted you. Because of everything you told her she said that she would ask her father to free my father and let hi
