an Airy sound amaka's mother screamed why are you laughing at my daughter's death the crowd turned towards enami Furious and confused but he did not stop this time enami stopped laughing and looked at amaka's mother with a serious face I do not laugh at your daughter he said I laugh because the truth is near the crowd gasped and the people began murmuring what truth someone shouted stop speaking in riddles another cried but enami did not answer instead he turned and walked away leaving the villagers even more confused Chik watched him closely his anger growing strongly

he knows something Chik thought I will make him tell me determined he decided to confront enami one more time that evening Chi followed enami to his small H at the edge of the village the sun was setting and the air was cool and quiet enami was sitting outside staring at the sky when chiky arrived tell me what you meant chiy demanded what truth are you talking about inam this side and look at chiy the dead do not rest until their stories are told he said Chi frowned and confused what stories he asked inam face grew

serious your father and amaka were killed chiky and the truth will not stay hidden Chi froze staring at inami in disbelief what are you saying my father was was poisoned amaka was killed he asked his voice trembling with both anger and fear enami nodded solemnly the dead speak chiky I hear their cries Elder obina and amaka Spirits are restless and the demand Justice Chik shook his head this is madness you expect me to believe you can hear the dead inam this side you don't have to believe me but the truth will reveal itself listen listen

carefully and he will find out too he said CH returned to the Village shaking and unsure of what to do he told no one about his conversation with enami but he couldn't stop thinking about it meanwhile the villagers continued to talk about enam this strange Behavior why does he laugh and speak in riddles they asked some said he was cured by the gods While others believed he had powers to see beyond the living if he knows the truth he must share it an elder said the pressure on enami grew but he remained calm and Silent

unable to ignore en's words CH decided to investigate he started asking questions about his father's final days did anyone notice something strange before he died he asked ob's close friends one of them an old man named uro hesitated before answering your father wasn't himself in his last week okoro said he complained about a bitter taste in his food Chi's heart raced he had always believed his father died of old age now doubts began to grow in his mind could inami be telling the truth he wondered ch's investigation led him to the Village harist adaku who

had prepared medicines for obina did my father come to you before he died Chi asked her adaku nodded yes he came complaining of stomach pain I gave him hers to ease it but I suspected something was wrong she said Chi frowned what do you mean he asked adaku hesitated it felt like poison she whispered Chi's eyes widened poison he repeated adaku nodded slowly and sadly I want him to be careful but it was too late Chi's heart sank as Chik investigated his father's death he began hearing more rumors about amaka's tragic fall her closest friend

e told him about something chilling amaka told me she was scared before she died a said she discovered something about someone in the village but she didn't tell me who ch's blood ran cold what did she find out he asked AB shook her head I don't know she just said it was dangerous and that she needed to speak to the elders CH realized amaka's death might not have been an accident desperate wa for answers Chik returned to en's H late one evening enami was sitting outside Hing to himself when Chiki arrived you were right Chiki

said his voice heavy with frustration there is more to my father's death and amaka's fall than I thought enami nodded his face calm I told you the dad don't lie he said but now you must decide will you uncover the truth or will you let it stay buried Chi clenched his fist I need to know the truth he said firmly inami smiled faintly then listen carefully he said enami leaned forward his voice low and serious the truth you seek is dangerous chy there are people in this Village who would do anything to keep their secrets

leave as well you will never hurt anyone here again the Chief Elder said Chi watched as his uncle and AD were taken away feeling a mix of relief and sorrow after the meeting Chi found enami sitting under a tree laughing softly to himself why are you laughing now Chi asked inami smiled because justice has been served he said your father and amaka can finally rest in peace Chi nodded feeling a weight lift off his shoulders I couldn't have done it without you he said enam shook his head the truth was always there you just needed

to see it for the first time chii understood why namdi laughed it wasn't out of Madness but out of relief when the truth prevailed with aen and Adon The Village slowly began to heal people stopped Whispering about enami and started respecting him he was strange but he was right one Elder said Chik focused on rebu his family's reputation and honoring his father's Legacy he planted a tree in a memory of Elder obina an amaka vowing to keep their stories alive the villagers came together for the first time in years United by the truth life returned
