While Meddy and I were still thinking of what to say Hermon came into the room without knocking and he looked really scared.
"Ezrine , where have you been , I've been looking for you for so long as if I lost my mind. Do you know what you mean to me? My mom was just attacked and you..."
"What do I mean to you Hermon?"
"Honey , you are my entire existence."
"But I've done nothing good for you in fact I came into your life as a curse. You lost your bed to me and you have no privacy in your room anymore and I know that you were forced into this marriage."
"Yes I was forced , but it was for the good. Honey there are a lot of things that you did for me. There a lullaby that you sing at night which helps me to sleep peacefully before you can I couldn't even sleep for two hours without having nightmares. You lost your mom but you still had the strength to take good care of all of us and you're the reason for my brother's happiness. You are the perfect definition of a strong woman , I've never met anyone like you before and I'm just so attracted to your childishness as I've never had a chance to be playful and you showed me my childish side that I didn't even know it existed."
His words left me in tears and I just hugged him and found pleasure in his embrace. I didn't know that Hermon cared this much for me.
"Is mother in law okay?" Meddy asked breaking the romantic moment I had with my husband.
"Yes she is fine , she is in her bedroom" Hermon answered calmly.
"Let's go check on her Ezrine" Meddy said.
"Okay" I answered controlling my anger because I wanted to stay a little bit longer.
"The connection between you two is so strong , I think he is a magical creature too" Meddy emphasised.
"What do you mean? He's a human being , I would've noticed him if he was a magical creature" I highlighted.
"You don't know what happened 700 years ago my dear Nogapele" Meddy said sounding annoyed.
"What happened then?" I asked losing patience.
"You failed to recognise Panola" Meddy said looking into my eyes.
I heard this name before when I told Michael that Hermon's skin was glowing and his eyes were shining, he went to Mr and Mrs Smith and told them what I said and they mentioned Panola. But who is this Panola.
"Who is Panola?" I asked letting my scales come out and letting my eyes take their serpent form.
"Don't get too angry Nogapele on the night of the lunar eclipse you will find out about everything just be patient."
"I once heard Mrs Smith talking about that Panola"
"What were they saying?" Meddy asked surprised.
I explained to her what happened that night. Everything that Mrs Smith said and that they were planning to keep Hermon away from Nogapele Agaton.
"Then that means the Smith family know something about the tragedy that struck 700 years ago. Nogapele Agaton is you then how does Hermon fit in all of this? Something big is being hidden from us Ezrine" Meddy said letting her scales come out and her eyes taking their serpent form.
"How do we find out?" I asked curiously.
"Nogapele you have been gone for seven centuries , what you do not know is that every serpent of our clan restricted themselves from using their powers until you come back to us. When time went by every serpent forgot about their serpentine powers , they lost hope of you ever returning so they led very miserable lives as humans" Meddy said getting emotional.
"But I'm back why aren't they able to feel me?" I asked trying to understand.
"No one can ever feel your presence until you perform the Nosega dance in front of Jesus's idol. Every living being shall notice your return on the night of the lunar eclipse. You're our leader , our empress and the blessing Our Lord Jesus Christ brought to us. You are Nogapele Agaton" Meddy pointed.
"Let's go check on mother in law before someone catches us" I said getting back to normal.
Meddy and I headed straight to mother in law's room. Surprisingly she looked fit and healthy to me I mean she was even dancing. Although she fell from such a height she still didn't have bruises nor did her bones break.
"Mother in law ....but you ... you're fine!" Meddy said amazed as me.
"Yes my lovely daughter in laws I'm fine because my daughter Matilda came back from the US" mother in law explained.
I had already forgot about Matilda. She always put me such an uncomfortable state everytime she's around me , I feel as if she took something very dear to me.
"My dearest sister in laws I came back to ruin your lives" Matilda said giving us a hard glare.
She laughed and then said "I'm just joking , I love you both for loving my brothers and making them decent men" she said laughing with her mom while Meddy and I exchanged looks and spoke in sign language to meet when everyone is asleep.
Meddy and I said our goodnight to my mother in law and Matilda. We went out of the room leaving them both to bond.
