Chapter 7 - THE BIRTH OF AN UNEXPECTED MESSIAH

In the small village of Ucum in the Geer land, a man of the people named Luong was born to Ulang and Achila in early November. Luong's parents are from two opposing communities, Ucholo and Geer. The two cultures had been at peace for two years by the time he was born, and this was how his two lovely parents, who never thought of their differences, met. Luong's grandfather was unfortunately killed in a war by the tribe from which his mother hails. This made it very difficult for this young couple to marry because their two families couldn't agree on anything. No one from either was willing to listen as such traditions of no marriage between the two communities when the war and hatred intensified were introduced. They never got together to formalise their marriage. Despite the fact that Ulang's mother agreed, Mr Uchala, Luong's father's uncle, opposed the union to the point of threatening to kill Ulang, Luong's father for betraying his brother. The Geer tribe has a custom that the bridegroom's uncle must officiate a marriage if the father is deceased for it to be considered official and sacred. Despite the challenges, Luong was raised well by two parents from different cultures who were brought together by love despite the hatred between their communities. They tried to forget all the differences and fight the opposition together and raise their child to be the man that they wanted and dreamed of.
