All Chapters of Till Worlds Do Us Part : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

“What in the world is going on here? Is this what you two do?” I couldn’t answer I just shook my head. “Rena, I’m asking you!” “No.” I said shaking my head. “Am I blind?” I shook my head. “And you Yoké… I just knew it!” Furah said shaking her head in disbelieve. “It is not how it seems.” Yoké told her. Furah scoffed. “It doesn’t seem like anything. It’s as clear as day.” “We’re so sorry.” Yoké said putting his hands together in an apology. “I always knew it.” She said. “Ever since the first time you joined the uprising I started suspecting you. I knew that Rena knew you since long ago because you were the on

Gamu and I made our way through the group. When we managed to get through, I saw that there was no one in the middle. Instead there was a space in the middle and then there was another group of people on the other side. I realized that the group division was for the people that wanted to leave and the people that were still supporting the uprising. The people that were supporting the uprising were the ones closest to the entrance. Gamu went to stand in that crowd of people by the entrance. “…that’s why we won’t succeed.” Someone finished making his point from the other group. “Can I talk, please.” I asked. The people from the other group kept talking over my voice. Each person giving reasons why we’d fail without Furah. “Can you please listen?” I asked again a little louder. The people in the other group still wouldn’t even look at me

“How long have I been an elder?” Elder Ke asked his grand-daughter, Tera. “Since before I was even born.” She scoffed. “About 40 years already.” “Exactly.” Elder Ke responded. “No one will have to act as the bait. I know exactly how to do it. Just tell me when and we’ll do it.” I was so happy. I felt like running to him and giving him a big hug! But obviously I couldn’t do that. Why did I even feel that way? People resumed their cheering, some whistled and some clapped. As everyone rejoiced my eyes caught Uma. He was looking at Gamu. People were still around her praising her. That look Uma had on his face was not of anger and detestation it was of approval and satisfaction. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I wanted to signal Yoké to see what I was seeing but he was too happy to notice. After a while e

In the evening I couldn’t even eat the food in front of me. I just kept crying. “Why does this girl keep sobbing like this?” The chief asked Furah. Furah just shrugged. “Maybe she’ll miss this hut.” The chief chuckled. “Well, all good things come to an end.” I got up and left the table. “Where are you going?” Furah asked me. I didn’t respond just kept walking toward the exit. “Rena I asked you, where are you going?” I stopped and looked back at her. “I’m going to sit outside the hut.” “Why?” “Fresh air.” “Okay,” Furah said and then turned to Gamu. “Go sit with her. Make sure she stays close to the hu

Despite the grave trouble I knew I could get into if I was caught sneaking out again, I left the hut and walked to Yoké’s hut. I was trembling, not because of the cold but because of fear. The fear of telling Yoké about my pregnancy and the decision that I have made.When I got to his hut I entered without clapping. He was seated on his bed and painting with the little light from the oil lamp. When he saw me enter he looked up at me with a frown. “Genesis?” I nodded. I was still shaking in fear. He abandoned his wooden board on the bed and came towards me. “What’s wrong?” He asked me taking me into his arms. “I’m pregnant Yoké.” I told him. Even hearing myself say it suddenly scared me. “What?” Yoké asked stepping away from me and looked at me. “I’
