"But baby, all those things happened years ago before you were born" the father replied.
Immediately, Kamsi cut in, "daddy, exactly my point and your sister died before your wedding" the mother shouted,
"Late Kamsi was present during our wedding for God's sake"
" Mummy, ị maara nke a, ị maara nke ọzọ? (She shakes her head)
"Okay, let me gist you guys a bit" Kamsi said, in a low tune.
" My daddy's younger sister (Aunty Kamsirọchukwu) died in a motor accident three days to her elder brother's wedding (My father) when she was returning from Lagos, since she promised to be present with all the gifts she bought for her elder brother and his new wife (unknowingly that my mum, her enemy was the new wife) she came in form of a spirit to fulfil her promise"
"Remember, she died on a Tuesday and you wedded on a Saturday while the news of her death was announced on a Monday that she was among the accident victims"
Tears rolled down her chicks as she was narrating to her parents.
The mother joined.
"Kamsi, I am afraid of you now" the mother shouted in tears.
"Mum, you don't have to be, please forgive me, I never knew you were the one my brother wanted to marry, but I thank God that I am here again as a member of this happy family."
"Kamsi, Who then are you? The father asked (Pointing at his daughter)
"Oh daddy, you aren't suppose to ask such you know"
Kamsi replied.
"Daddy, why did you name me KAMSI? She asked.
"I named you after my late younger sister.
The father replied.
"Good, that's exactly who I am" she replied.
"This is exactly what happened between I and late Kamsirọchukwu" the mother said.
"I met her in Lagos during my NYSC , I served in the same company where she was working as a manager".
