CHAPTER 211

Lady Nana took a few minutes to prepare the awesome delicious meal. She therefore brought the food to Ruth filled with so much love like she had always done many years ago.

" I hope you get satisfied and become happy. I have missed you so much" said Lady Nana as she placed the food on top of the table.

" Why should you miss me? I am not the same Ruth that I used to be before. I have really changed. You will be surprised once you see my true colours" said Ruth which astonished Lady Nana.

" I understand Ruth but then I understand the fact that you will never change who you are. You will always be you no matter what happens" said Lady Nana smiling as she left the dining table.

Ruth looked at Lady Nana leaving smiling. She truly ate the food as if she had never eaten before. Unluckily, Evelyn saw how glutton she was trying to be and was filled with lots of anger. She immediately went towards Ruth and pushed the food away as she threw the plate of food on the floor. Ruth stood from the dining chair filled with lots of anger.

" Why have you done that? You should have told me not to ear but not to waste food like this. Don't you understand that there are people out there who sleep hungry with nothing to drink or eat. Do you think we are special because we can put food on top of the table?" Asked Ruth filled with lots of anger. 

Ruth had totally forgotten that she was speaking to Evelyn. The one and only Evelyn who always believed in nothing than herself.

" Who cares about those who eat and those who do not eat? Is it my fault that they can't put food on the table? Stop with all this nonesense and get back to work. I have already woken up your little family.  I know by now they must be wondering about your whereabouts. I think it is time for you to go" said Evelyn as she signalled to Ruth to leave. 

This meant that it was time for Ruth to go to her family and convince them to come with her to the closer gates.

Ruth left the mansion and went to Evelyn's car. She entered the car and drove off in a state of confusion even without waiting for Evelyn's signal to leave. Ruth knew that her family was going to feel bad about her idea but there was nothing she could do about it. 

What had to be done had already been done.

Ruth drove faster and arrived at Evelyn's mansion in a few minutes. She parked the car closer to the mansion and got of the car feeling a little bit hesitant.  

She therefore decided to enter the house and found everyone taking their breakfast a little bit worried. 

As soon as they saw her, Naomi ran towards Ruth and embraced her. She then pecked Ruth and heaved a sigh of relief.

"Where have you been and where is Evelyn?" Naomi asked filled with lots of curiosity.

" She isin the closer gates and expecting to see us as soon as possible. We will have to go and see her ...I mean...I think....okay...we will have to go to the closer gates and live with her, Martin and Akeshia" Said Ruth a little bit tensed.

" What do you mean by that? Why do we have to go to the closer gates?" Asked Naomi a bit astonished.

" Because that is what grandma Evelyn wants. Your lives are going to be in danger if we do not go. Please do this for me before I find a perfect solution" said Ruth.

" You are still not explaining what I want to hear. Why would my life be in danger?" Asked Naomi still filled with lots of curiosity.

" Because .......because grandma Evelyn will cause all of you to go into deep slumber and then you will eventually die. I do not really want something like this to happen to any of you, I will never ever be able to forgive myself. I will lock myself under the curse of death till the day that I will eventually die" said Ruth feeling a little bit sad.

" There is no need for you to wish such things upon yourself mama. Nothing like that will happen to you. We are all going to the closer gates. We have to go. We have no any other choice. Right grandma? Right Aunt Faith?" said Purist pointing at Naomi and Faith.

" We should be on our way then. What else are we waiting for?" Asked Faith as she suddenly walked towards the door. 

Everybody followed her to the door as they all went to the car. They had hardly unpacked their clothes , so it was easy to live with their suitcases which they had carried with them immediately. 

Ruth therefore decided to drive back to the closer gates a little bit tensed. Her little family had agreed to her plea so easily which made her weakness to be sharply interfered with.

Ruth drove as fast as she could back to the closer gates. There was one thing she had learnt about Evelyn in the short span of time, the fact that she never liked to be kept waiting.

As soon as she arrived at the closer gates, her car easily entered without the guards noticing which astonished Ruth's little family. 

They both got put of the car immediately the car approached the mansion and parked near it. They were astonished to see Evelyn waiting for them outside the house.

" Welcome back to the closer gates. It's been long since any of you stepped here but now you are back once again. Hope you will enjoy your stay. Stay as long as you can. I will not do anything to harm any of you but, all this will depend on Ruth" said Evelyn who signalled everyone to enter.

Everyone entered the mansion except for Ruth. She was trying to figure out on how she would find the ancestral vase. That was the only thing she felt that was Evelyn's weakness. She felt she needed to get rid of her, since she had a lot of things to do. 

She needed to go back to Mambo town and end the evilness of Lawrence and Vivian. It seemed a little bit hard but then it was too early to give up before a smaller try.

All what the vision could tell her was that the ancestral vase was inside her matrimonial room. This made Ruth to be filled with lots of wonders. She kept wondering how such a thing was even possible. 

Ruth decided to enter the mansion since she did not want to create any suspicions which would land her in trouble.

She strangely sneaked into her former matrimonial room. She really wanted to understand the main reason for her vision. It was important that she knew the whole truth inorder not to land herself in trouble. 

Unluckily,she saw Martin seatsd on top of the bed as soonas she arrived. Martin wasn't doing anything but he was carrying the ancestral vase in his arms. 

This made Ruth to be filled with lots of anger. She found it hard to understand the main reason why Martin was crying the ancestral vase and howhe got the ancestral vase.

Yet Ruth's curiosity made her to enter her former matrimonial room as she went and sat beside Martin on top of the bed.

" Are you angry with me? Do you know that sometimes we do things and have to do then even though we do not want to? I just hope that this does not give you a chance to hate me" said Ruth a bit sad.

" Stop making numerous useless stories. Are you here to take your ancestral vase back? Take it then. If you get rid of her, then I will be able to understand that you still have a heart and you are still understanding. Are you?" Asked Martin smiling.

" I used to be but now I am not. Why are you even interfering with my life? Do you think that I am doing this for you? Please my dear! Don't ever make such a mistake ij your entire life. You are such an old man. The only thing that you should be waiting for is your death and nothing else. Do you get me? I really hope so" said Ruth in a commanding voice.

" Fine! Take your ancestral vase and leave my house. Just get rid of that old woman. She smells too much of death more than I do. It's as if she resurrected. I really need to find her grave and burn it into ashes" said Martin.

Ruth took the ancestral vase and angrily left the room. She felt bad after hearing Martin's statement. His statement proved all the enemity that Martin had for Ruth. It really seemed that all the hatred had not ended.

MARRIED AT SIXTEEN.
