Burial ceremony

It was getting dark the preparation for burial for Ezekiel and Martha was on its peak the soldiers surrounded the village to secure against any invasion the villagers prepared to sleep Alpha and his colleagues joined the soldiers from Lima village to secure the village they lit the fire to warm themselves Benjamin came.

"We need to sleep in turns the first soldiers should sleep for six hours and the other should guard for six hours in turn" Benjamin suggested.

"That is a great idea," Benjamin said.

The soldiers secured the village no incident happened.

Cynthia was in the militant camp doing forced labor the militants were busy Manning around make sure that no one escaped Cynthia recalled how her parents were murdered in cold blood she sat and crying Esther realized that the militant had left them alone and locked them inside the house she came closer to Cynthia.

"I have been seeing you crying from the day you were brought here what is the problem?" Esher asked.

"My parents were murdered in cold blood I saw them being shot by the militant but I was lucky not to have been killed but I don't know why," Cynthia said emotionally.

"Why were they after your parents and not other members of the village?" Esther asked.

I have been asking myself that question since then but to say the truth there must be a reason" Cynthia said.

Cynthia sat and thought hard she recalled what her father Ezekiel said one day when he was a little child.

"I remember what my father once said when I was a little girl," Cynthia said.

"Please what did he say?" Esther asked.

"I recalled her saying that he escaped from the militant after being used to kill innocent people and commit other atrocities like rape and forcefully taking their property away" Cynthia explained.

"Does it means your father was a militant?" Esther said.

"Yes he all the time talked about the ruthless Tommy the major general," Cynthia said.

They saw three militants with one man with very tall beards coming toward their hostage house they opened the door Esther and Cynthia rushed to the wall in fear.

"Ladies,s who are Cynthia?" Tommy asked.

Esther and Cynthia shivered leaning against the wall.

"No one is going to hurt you who is Cynthia" Tommy asked.

Cynthia gained courage and looked at him

"What did you kill my parents Cynthia is me," Cynthia said emotionally.

"It's you know what your father did he escaped from my military he was amongst my best military men but he decided to leave my army and the rule is if you leave my military you and your family members should be exterminated," Tommy said confidently.

"Which means you are a coward and a selfish leader why kill my family you could have killed me too!" Cynthia shouted.

His bodyguard removed the pistol and pointed at Cynthia.

"You mean you are a coward that you use a weapon to hurt an armless lady like me it shows that you are a bunch of cowards": Cynthia said emotionally.

Tommy was embarrassed.

"Put away your pistols don't you see she is just a woman without any weapons?" Tommy asked.

Tommy felt bad and also he saw himself as a villain.

"Take for instance if it was me who killed your family would you forgive me take my position now," Cynthia said.

"How dare you inflicted suffering to the innocent soul like me?" Cynthia asked.

Tommy became emotional and moved out of the detention house bodyguard followed and closed the door it was the most piercing massage Tommy has ever heard.

You are very courageous where is the courage coming from?" Esther asked.

I have nothing to lose even if they kill me I have "lost hope in life they killed what I treasured very much my father and mother I won't be able to attend their burial since I am a hostage I wish the soldier could have shot me to die" Cynthia said weeping bitterly.

Esther kept quiet and looked at Cynthia sympathetically.

"I was abducted after the militant invaded our village for cattle but not for murder," Esther said.

"I advise you that I want you to live for you to get justice for your parents be it by taking law on your hand or using the court of law," Esther said.

"That is good advice that has given me hope to live for the justice of my parents to be achieved," Cynthia said.
