AUNTY PEACE

EPISODE 1

Written by Nnenne izuanagbara.

AUNTY PEACE is a 40 something year old woman. She lives alone in a room apartment and sells fruits at the bustop. She doesn't even look 40 something. She is tall, fair and beautiful.

Rumour has it that AUNTY PEACE was once married. She has kids too. 3 kids actually. JAMES, CHRISTOPHER &DORATHY. Her husband Benson or benny as friends would call him is a driver with a beverage company. He is a good man who has his family at heart but his wife AUNTY PEACE has no character and is bent on tearing his life pieces. Her vigorious spending was more than very bad.
The straw that broke the camel's neck was when AUNTY PEACE bought 2 gowns for #100,000 on credit. Now, her husband gave her #100,000 for their children's school fees and #50,000 for their monthly upkeep. AUNTY PEACE used her kids school fees to pay for the gowns and their up keep money as part payment for the school fees. There was no more money for feeding. The kids were almost dying of hunger. She was busy buying food on credit in the name of WHEN HER HUSBAND COMES BACK. The credit became so much that IYA GANA the food vendor refused selling anymore. She was already owning IYA GANA 8000.

The school's 2week grace is over. They've started asking for the balance of the fees. After one week, DORA was sent home for fees. AUNTY PEACE saw it as a great opportunity. She collected a bag of sachet water on credit and gave to dora to hawk while she sat at home doing nothing.
Dora was about crossing the road when she missed her step and fell and was badly wounded by a bike.

DORA was rushed to a near by chemist. The man tried to stop the bleeding but he couldn't. He advised she should be taken to the hospital.

Someone who knew dora rushed to their house to inform her mum but she was not at home. Infact the person met her sons sitting outside crying. They have been home from school so hungry. The person rushed off and bought bread and water for them. He started asking around for their mum. Someone said he saw her in a saloon fixing her nails. The person is a friend to BENNY,AUNTY PEACE'S HUSBAND. He quickly called him. Good thing BENNY was on his way home. He went straight to the chemist where dora was but was told she was bleeding terribly so he asked them to take her to a close hospital.

Benny rushed to the hospital and was told the hospital rejected her. BENNY HAD NO CLUE where his daughter was taken to. He just stopped a bike and told the bike to keep going. He passed a hospital and saw people gathered. He told the bike man to stop him there. He got close and saw his daughter bleeding furiously from the leg. The leg was badly injured. That hospital also rejected her. He took his daughter, mounted the bike again and straight to his family hospital. Dora was admitted.

BENNY came home and saw his sons sleeping outside. Some minutes later, AUNTY PEACE emerged with her short knicker. When she saw her husband, she was shocked.

--Welcome honey. sorry i kept you waiting. i went to make my nails (noticing the blood stains on his clothe) honey what happened to you? what is all these blood stains?

---peace, you went to fix your nails (almost moved to tears) your nails are more important than my children. where is DORA?

----Oh, she's not back from school?

----did she go to school?

----of course honey. she went to school.
