The moon could be seen above the heavens and the sky was clearer today. The people taking the ritual left their houses in beautiful rappers.
The maidens tied beautiful rappers in every style. The men tied their own rappers around their waist and left their chest exposed to reveal their masculine chest.
I walked out of the house with ma and she could not get her eyes off me. Ma held my hands and gave me a big hug and said "child may the moon god be with you and may you steal the attention of every man at the river today. Remember you deep yourself into the river and pray then you walk back home in silence ok. I will be here with your Pa waiting for you".
I walk out of the compound and walked towards the stream. There are many roads that led to the stream but I decided to take the road passing through a semi forest. Maybe i could hear the sounds made by the animals and I won't be tempted to speak to people.
As I walked through the forest I couldn't help but pray silently to the moon god. I wish to marry a good and respectable man that will love and take good care of me. I want a very masculine man with a well build body but anyways what ever the moon god gives I will accept hole heatedly cause our god knows best.
I walk in total silence but then I hear foot steps behind me and I got scared, turning behind I saw a man walking behind me. I stop and looked at him for a while and he stopped too. The tress blocked the light of the moon and I could not see his face clearly but his figure was very visible.
His height was the perfect height for a man and his body was so well build. I could see the carves of his tommy and how well his breast was shaped and though the tress covered the moon light from showing his face but I could see the shape edges of his face. I look at him for a while and my heart began drumming to my ears. Heat rose to my cheeks when I noticed his gaze was on me too.
Then I remembered my purpose for leaving home and immediately turned around and walk to the river. I walk slowly and I could hear his foot steps from behind me.
We walked for some time before reaching at the river. I stood there for a while then noticed that he was just a few steps behind me.
My heart did not stop drumming to my ears. I walk so graceful into the river and taking a deep breath I deeped myself into the river. I stayed inside the river for about 2 minutes before waking up then I looked at the moon and prayed to the moon god for favour.
Turning around to leave the river my face sunk deep into the chest of a man. I looked at the chest and my body wiggle. It was so clean and shinny, I looked down and the body from his abdomen to his legs was covered with water....
