It was after she wanted to get the water to begin the cooking process that she discovered that her water pot was empty.
She talked to herself, who might have turned out the water? or is this not the same pot I took to the stream? she looked around. Yes, this is the pot, she reassured herself.
Abike was still wondering because Omolara had been in her room all day, both wives had not seen each other all day. Abike only heard her laughing loudly when she and Tunji were discussing in the room before she left for the stream.
Omolara, did you pour the water in the pot? Abike answered. Omolara refused to answer.
I am asking you, Omolara. Did you take the water? she moved closer.
Which water? Did you see me use your water? What is it with you this woman? just leave me alone, please! Omolara hissed and walked to her room.
Abike knew that Omolara took the water since there wasn't anyone else except the two of them in the parlour.
This woman has started again but I won't keep quiet this time, she thought. Come out Omolara, you must give me back my water. Abike opened the curtain and moved back into the room. The two women went into a serious argument. Just then, their walked in.
