CHAPTER 189

As soon as Ruth arrived at mambo town, she found out that everything had already happened. A lot of women's helpless bodies were lying helplessly on the road while others kept crying for help. 

Ruth passed beside them as tears welled down her eyes. She knew that Mr. One had done all of that but did not plan to surrender Faith over to him. Ruth often ensured that nobody suffered yet she sometimes failed but she never failed in keeping relationship with the people she loved no matter how hard the situation was. 

As soon as Ruth arrived at Mariana mansion, she found everybody seated at the living room filled with lots of worries.  The only person who was missing there was Faith. 

" Where is Faith?" Asked Ruth filled with lots of curiosity.

" She is at your room. She says that she had a spell to complete and the only she could complete was if she touched one of your recent clothes " said Purist 

Ruth immediately left to her room. She found Faith seated on the floor still continuing with the spell as soon as she arrived.

This meant that Faith had been stuck somewhere in between the spell. Riyy immediately went towards her and touched her cloth using her left arm as well as Faith's right arm using her right arm in order to understand where Faith had been stuck.

Ruth found out that Faith had been stuck in the middle of thoughts after seeing what Ruth had been told by Mr .One that led to lot's of women in mambo town suffering. Ruth immediately entered in her thoughts and assured her that she would never betray her by surrendering her to Mr. One. That was when they both threw Ruth's cloth down and a sudden force threw them both on the walls behind them. 

Faith suddenly woke up. She stood and went towards Ruth then hugged her.

" Till today you'd still choose no matter how much people are in trouble. Now I think it's time for us to reach Mr. One a lesson and we will do it by the help of Haggai" said Faith in a pellucid voice.

" No Faith. Haggai is here only to help me revenge my grandma Magdalene's death. I don't think that if we summon him he will help us. Instead, he will place other conditions infront of us" said Ruth a little bit worried.

" We will make it clear to him that he is not in a condition to place other conditions. We will make him realize the important of getting his woman back into his life. That is all we will have to do" said Faith smiling as Ruth nodded her head in agreement.

Faith immediately stood and went towards the door. She touched the left side of the wall of the room from the outside and felt someone's arm .

She forcefully made the person to enter the room but was astonished to find out that the person was Vivian. Faith unwillingly slapped her.

" How dare you listen to our conversation? Were you not taught manners by your parents when you were a little child?" Asked Faith filled with lots of anger .

" I was really taught good manners when I was a little child but that was then. Now I am a grown up woman and I can choose to do what I want to do by myself. What were you saying? Oh! You were adling me if I was taught manners by my parents. How about you who is using people for your own benefits? What's difference between you and I ?" Asked Vivian. 

" There is a very big difference Vivian. We don't use people for our own selfish reasons. We use them to accomplish good things for the betterment of everyone. Listen Vivian! I don't want to argue with you. You better live right now. If you like, you can listen to our conversation until you die" said Ruth who signalled to Vivian to leave. 

Vivian immediately left without uttering a word. She did not want to get more angrier than she already was. She went to the living room and found out that Purist had already drank water almost all the water in the kitchen. 

" Have you drank all the water? You don't worry. Since all the drinking water have been drank by you, you will prepare a good drinking for us using your tears. Don't you dare look at me like that? " Said Vivian.

This was Vivian's plan to embarrass Purist infront of everyone. She placed other conditions like telling Purist to do it infronynog everyone at the case square.

" I am going to do it. Instead of me feeling embarrassed, I will make sure people clap for mefor being too genius" said Purist who left the house and went to the case square as Vivian followed her behind her.

As soon as Purist arrived at the case square, she found out that few people who were just enjoying themselves were seated at the bench drinking alcohol.

" You two! I want you to go at the market and request everyone to come at the case square. Tell them that something good is about to happen" said  Purist as the drunkards left and she sat at one of the chairs in the front side of the case square as she waited for everyone to arrive. 

In a jiffy, everybody had converged at the case square including Ruth and Faith who had no idea of what was happening.

" Ladies and gentlemen. Today I have been given a challenge by my own Aunty Vivian that I should shed tears in this two water buckets till there is no tears to shed anymore. I am going to do that but the tears will be too much for the two buckets to carry" said Purist as she began to shed tears while closing her eyes.

Vivian looked at Purity as she shed tears till one of the bucket was already filled with tears yet Vivian did not look as of she was was happy because she felt that Ruth was going to win the challenge through her own daughter.

" This challenge is over" said Vivian.

" You are right Aunty Vivian. The challenge is definetly over now and I am the winner. I just filled two water buckets using my tears. Take it now. You have drinking water. This will be enogh for you to drink. Are you happy now?" Purist asked Vivian smiling.

" I am happy but worried about you. Only a fool gives a witch a challenge. Witches always win no matter what" said Purist who handed over the buckets to Vivian and left the Case square.

" She is our hero. She is our hero. She should be the leader of mambo town or the case manager. Not those useless family members that she live with. Some of them cannot even hurt a fly yet they consider themselves our leaders" said people among the multitude which had converged there at the case square.

Vivian looked at all of them filled with lots of anger. She regretted giving Purist such a challenge.

" Silence! You all are fools. You don't know what you are saying. How can you praise sucj people and yet you don't know them or what they are?" Asked Vivian filled with lots of anger.

" Yes you are right. How can the whole multitude praise somebody like us who cannot  even do anything for ourselves? You must be an emotional fool Vivian? Didn't you see what my daughter did just now? She just filled the entire buckets of water using her own tears. Do you have the guts to do that?" Asked Ruth smiling.

" Yes I do. I can even fill four water buckets with my tears" said Vivian.

" Alright! Let it be a challenge then" said Ruth as she left the case square and came back after a few minutes carrying four water buckets in her arms and placed them Infront of Vivian.

" Do you really think that I can't do this? Today I will show that our family is supposed to be the leader of this town and not your useless daughter" said Vivian as she began shedding tears which did not even fill up a quarter potion of the bucket. 

This made everyone to laugh at her including Purist who had come back to the case square which made Vivian to feel embarrassed. 

" I am so sorry" Ruth whispered on Vivian's ear as soon as she saw the fear in her eyes.

" You should not really be sorry. I should be the one appologizing to you but for everybody here to believe that your generation is capable to be leaders you will have to take up this challenge from me" said Vivian. 

" Alright" said Ruth as she began to shed tears into the water bucket.

Within twenty minutes, she was able to fill all the four water bucket with her tears. This made everyone to clap for her as Tere felt more embarrassed.
