A season passed. One day Obura came home very late and for the first time in months he was friendly and relaxed. He appeared to have reached a decision. His mother was too thankful to mention the hour.
She gave him food and he went to his hut.
The next day, the sun rose and hung warm and red in the sky. But Obura who lived under his mother’s edge that the sun should never rise and find a man still asleep and was therefore a habitual early riser, did not make his appearance. His mother thought that maybe he had slept late because he had gone to bed late and was therefore not alarmed ; but as she was getting ready to leave for the fields, there was still no sign of his eldest son. She went Nyabera to go to his hut to rouse him. Nyabera went and stood just outside the door and shouted;
“Obura! Obura! Chexy!” there was no answer. She shouted louder but still there was no answer.
She then banged on the door. No answer. She pushed on it with her hand and it flew open easily.
There was no one in the hut.
“Stop shouting you mad child! What is it?”
“He is not here.” Akoko arrived on the spot almost before the words were out of her daughter’s mouth.
Sure enough, he was not there. His things were neatly put away as usual, almost as if nobody had slept in them. Maybe he had early left for the fields ; but he had the appetite of a starving lion and had never know to miss breakfast.
Besides he always his mother of his whereabouts or likely whereabouts before leaving so that a messenger could find him easily.
The chief came out of his Simba at the sound of the commotion.
“What is all the noise for so early in the morning?” he asked alarmed.
“Obura is not in his hut”. Supplied his sister. The chief came to see for himself as if other people eyes were not good enough; but there was no denying it. The boy was gone.
