Her laugh dey ring for house like bell. Some days, na so dem go sit for parlour dey gist till goat enter room.

I’m sure the two of them go enjoy their marriage well well.

God see my heart. I pray make their happiness last, even though pain dey my chest. God, no let my enemies laugh at me.

That day, I got a letter from Musa at the war front.

The day Ifeoma agreed to swap, I sent a dispatch rider to Musa, explaining everything.

I no wan make wahala reach his family hand. For soldier pikin, respect dey important.

After all, this kind marriage swap concern both families. I no want make we turn to enemies, so I tell am early.

If not, na generations go dey fight because of small secret.

I opened the letter.

The paper dey fold well. Ink strong. Even the edge neat—soldier style.

Only one word dey the paper, written boldly:

My heart rest small. For the first time in many moons, I fit smile. No be every man dey fear strong woman. As I hold that paper, I know say my own story never end—na just the beginning. As I fold the letter, I pray for Musa—make God bring am home safe. Our own story fit start afresh, no shadow from past.
