EXCERPT – Fading Face by Jonah Igwe
Nnamdi was ready for everything, adorned
in his newly bought white singlet and wrapper knotted at the waist with the
tail flying just below the knee. He walked towards his uncles and cousins, but
a hand touched his left shoulder.
Turning, he saw a smiling, pretty face.
His jaw dropped unconsciously as he faced the most beautiful girl in the town.
His heart thought so, anyway.
Udo looked different in the fading
evening sunlight. Her eyelids and eyebrows were beautifully lined with tanjele
adding tenderness to her stare. Her hair was a twisted pompadour updo and well
adorned with red beads. Pieces of delicate wrappers covered her waist and
chest, leaving bare other parts of her body. There were beautiful uli drawings on
her smooth arms and sleek small ankles.
For the first time, Nnamdi saw her
sensuous body in its entirety. Her breasts were full and graceful, her belly
trim and flat. Her fleshy bottom led to smooth, spotless legs.
He was astonished at how seductive she was.
He relished the sight and allowed the pleasure of it all to tickle and gratify
his senses. He held forward the edge of his wrapper to conceal the evidence of
his desire for her.
“Udo, you… you are here,” Nnamdi
stammered as he reached out and held her left palm.
Her hand was cold and moist, and he
squeezed it.
“I can’t be anywhere else,” she replied
with a smile. “Not when you are being initiated.” The two stood facing each
other, and Udo cast her gaze on his face. The eye contact dissolved him, and he
lowered his head.
“Many of the girls are here to win your
heart,” she teased him.
He briskly raised his face to protest.
“You know that’s not true.”
Still smiling, she added, “You’re the
most desired young man in Umuchi.”
Her assertion made him quite uneasy, and
he lowered his head again, casting his glance on the ground between them. Udo
immediately noticed his uneasiness and squeezed his hand again as if to
reassure him.
“Well, I’m here to ensure that no one
takes what’s mine,” she told him with renewed energy.
Nnamdi was relieved. “You’ll always be
the one.”
