The Emperor Is Searching

Mr Kumara house is a very small bamboo house which has a small path and aside from that, the rest are grass.

A stone throw away from his compound, a young man drag a very pregnant woman on her hand while muttering curses on her, when he got to Mr Kumara compound, he let go of her and told her to go in and never show herself in his house again

Dakota run after her husband who began walking out after leaving her hands. "I was drunk then ..please..

Bang!

Dakota was slapped and pushed aside, she almost fell but she managed to hang on.

Glowering eyes filled with disgust stare at her. "I don't want you anymore, go to your father's house! I don't want to see you in my house again and if I do, I will break this your two legs!" Xamva yelled the last trait while pointing at Hannaheche's feet.

She fell on her knees and crawl to her husband, begging "But you're my husband, please Xamva ..you have to understand that I was depressed due to the women."

She grabbed hold of his rope and begged continuously but Xamva refused to listen to any of her pleas. They made him even more furious and disgusted than he already is.

Bang!

He hit her.

Bang!

He hit her again and again. It was as if he was possessed but he isn't, he was furious. Xamva has always been an abusive man and she getting hit by him isn't a new thing but not to this extent.

She began to scream for help when her husband continues to hit her even as she fell to the floor. She fell on purpose because she knows Xamva will push her and she doesn't want to take any chances.

It was Mr Kumara, her father that saved her from getting kicked in the stomach. Mr Kumara was at his backyard soaking cassava when he heard his daughter anguish, he came out and pushed Xamva off his daughter.

"How dare you lay your filthy hands on my daughter, can't you see that she's pregnant!

Get out of my house!" He yelled furiously but Xamva refused.

"Tell your daughter never to come to my house again for if I see her, I will kill her with my b.a.r.e hands." Xamva yelled at Mr Kumara face.

Mr Kumara furiously went to him and begin to push him out but he refused, he stood his ground and then suddenly, he pushed Mr Kumara to the floor.

"Dakota! Kumara!" Kenniae screams her husband's name in terror and this got the attention of her son's who's walking beside her and on top of his head is a basket filled with pumpkin leaves.

Kenniae and her son are just coming back from the market, they were ten feet away from their home when Kenniae saw her husband on the floor and her daughter in tears.

When Ximnam saw what was happening, he let go of the vegetables that he's carrying and rushed to his father and sister's rescue.

He grabbed hold of Xamva robe which Xamva tied around his waist and use it to pull him closer to him then punch him on the jaw followed by on his neck and then he began to punch him everywhere.

Kenniae had rushed to her daughter first in tears but she told her that she's alright, nevertheless, she made her stand up and they walk over to her father who's now standing and his looking at Xamva furiously.

When Kenniae saw the state Xamva was in, she yelled for her son to stop but he refused.

"You're going to kill him Ximnam if you don't stop and he isn't worth it, let him go! I don't want this to get to the King's ear" Kenniae plead.

"How dare you touch my father and my sister in my own father's house, how there he!? Ximnam asked angrily while still throwing punches at Xamva.

His mother continued to plead but still yet Ximnam refused.

"Enough! Mr Kumara said and Ximnam let go of Xamva.

Xamva fall to the floor tiredly and in pain but Ximnam lift him up and drag him out of their compound, he dropped him off at the mango tree that's beside Mr Subba's farm house.

He walked back to his parents house but head directly to his sister, he stopped just six inches away from where she is. "I told you not to go back to him but you refused, what were you expecting ..uh? That he takes you in and raise a child which he know isn't his!
