stories  that  would  constitute  my  book。  I  listened  to  his  footsteps  fading

beyond the open gate; there was something to the cold night that seemed to

make my sleepless and troubled murderer stronger and more devilish than me

and my book。

I  closed  the  courtyard  gate  tightly  behind  him。  I  placed  the  old  ceramic

water basin that I used as a basil planter behind the gate as I did each night。

Before I reduced the stove to smoldering ashes and went to bed; I glanced up

to see Shekure in a white gown looking like a ghost in the blackness。

“Are you absolutely certain that you want to marry him?” I asked。

“No;  dear  Father。  I’ve  long  since  forgotten  about  marriage。  Besides;  I  am

married。”

“If you still want to marry him; I’m willing to give you my blessing now。”

“I wish not to be wed to him。”

“Why?”

“Because it’s against your will。 In all sincerity; I desire nobody that you do

not want。”

I noticed; momentarily; the coals in the stove reflected in her eyes。 Her eyes

had aged; not out of unhappiness; but anger; yet there was no trace of offense

in her voice。

“Black is in love with you;” I said as if divulging a secret。

“I know。”

“He listened to all I had to say today not out of his love of painting; but out

of his love for you。”

“He will plete your book; this is what matters。”

“Your husband might return one day;” I said。

“I’m not certain why; perhaps it’s the silence; but tonight I’ve realized once

and for all that my husband will never return。 What I’ve dreamt seems to be

the  truth:  They  must’ve  killed  him。  He’s  long  since  turned  to  dust。”  She

whispered  the  last  statement  lest  the  sleeping  children  hear。  And  she  said  it

with a peculiar tinge of anger。

“If they happen to kill me;” I said; “I want you to finish this book to which

I’ve dedicated everything。 Swear that you will。”
