The sun fell for the moon and gave birth to a love, khaku was after a defeated battle passing by when his eyes fell for an unknown girl. She had a long hair a physical rather a strong body equipped with nature battles, but with a lovely face that captured khaki with his eyes attached to her.
It was a fate she ‘shezuli’ too fell for him as he had eyes that tells a story that attracted her, it was a fashion in those days to go away even with a stranger whom you had fell for during war.They went home back to khaku village where his mother welcomed her like a viper lips she spoke of unacceptable. Days passed, mother in law never accepted her with a new day she tried on and on to show her son that shezuli was a woman not fit for her, whenever khaki go out away from home she will mistreat shezuli.
Months passed by finally the news reached her 4 brothers so one day a messenger came to her that her brother will come to pick her up when she is ready, she thought and at last with a broken heart sent her brothers 7 lobes of hair meaning to pick her up after 7 days.
