“Welcome Big Bro, how are you doing? Mum didn’t even mention anything about your coming." Chioma said to Ugo, who just arrived home.

Ugo had come to visit his Mum so they would talk about the marriage issues once and for all. There seem to be a two-day holiday, coupled with fact that weekend had just ended. So Chioma had just visited home to pick up a few stuffs before returning back to school.

“Oh my darling, you are here. Welcome home. You came at the tick of time. I had taken out enough time to prepare you the soup I promised. Even though it was without your sister’s help, but I’m sure it will still come out with a good taste." Mrs. Lambert said.

“Which help? Did I leave the school to come home to cook? Mummy leave me-oh." Chioma said. “Moreover, if you had mentioned the soup was for Big Bro, perhaps I would have given some assistance but you did not." She added, defending herself.

“It’s alright. That’s all over now. The food is ready. Let’s leave all of those. I came here for another purpose." Ugo said.

“Purpose ke? Which purpose did you come for that can’t wait? It took me three good hours to prepare this food. After you are done eating this food to my satisfaction, we can then talk about your so called purpose. For now, face this." Mrs. Lambert said, pointing to the bowl of food she had prepared for him.

“Big Bro, you have enter one chance today. Let me leave you and your wife to continue eating your food and purpose discussion." Chioma said as she laughed, walking away.

Mrs. Lambert opened one of the plates containing the soup. The aroma that came out of it was so enticing that even a dead man who smells it would resurrect just to have a taste then go back to the grave.

“Hmm, yummy! Your food is still as good as those days Mum." Ugo said as he took a lump of the akpu and the ogbonor soup( a Nigerian delicacy). Mrs. Lambert also set aside a glass of five-alive juice for him to wash it down also.

In the course of eating the sumptuous meal, Ugo seem to have forgotten the purpose - reason for which he had come. He got carried away by akpu.
