Schnapps (chpt 1)

 Another persons death also saddened the strongest mind though people are well aware death is inevitable even as we continue to pray against misfortunes of death when it occurs. Many people will employ the service of a seer to know where death knock next, is just awkward and unfortunately not logical when you know that some certain things in this world will happen no matter the amount of prayer and off course in the midst of this sad occurrence those that will celebrate their life will go ahead because life cannot be paused for someone demise life must go on because one does not become an adult and lack courage; one lives life as it finds one. Like the life of young youths that still have the courage to get married and as a man of justice of peace in the community whose son is about to get married JP Amowe must put his old age to good use and calmed the nerves of people in his vicinity to move on and forget their  misfortunes, because what an elder see while sitting down the young ones can't see it even if they climb tree he knows he can't see through people motive somehow they must have some kind of bonds that's being protected by all means a crazy young mind will assume they have well organised crime they don't want to leak out it must be concealed from the eagle eye of Zion having try several times to change her name she must disguise her posture to have a masculine figure just because of a myopic thinking which she share with other members of the community that only a male child can inherit her parents property's she stares at them with so much despair losing her parents in their midst is bad enough and having to survive solely on her own make her more than a woman. Different stroke for different folks while she lose her own parents to the cold hand of death and heading into waywardness Tunji jp Amowe's son is planning for his future.'Good morning ba mi' tunji the only son of jp Amowe one of the youth that already made up his mind to settle down 'Tunji omo ola omo olokiki omo ti won fi se adua fun omo olomo, may you never take the wrong step in your life and my forefathers will always be with you good morning my son' 'thank you father' 'so tell me how is your marriage plan going' enquire JP Amowe 'is all going well father I'm still working on it with my friend Alabi, there is still some important details we need to find out' Tunji sounds like a man that knows what he want 'what is so important about Ajoke that make you so doubtful about her'. 'One can never be too sure with the atmosphere of the community there's always some chaos around her and she's not even the most beautiful girl in this town'. Tunji point out ' hmmm you speak well,I remember when I married your mother Aduni she was the epitome of beauty in our village, men envy me for going out with your mother oh! My one and only Aduni I really missed her' 'Take hearth father I believe mother where ever she was knows how much you loved her' 'you are right we should celebrate her life, so carry on my son and I pray that good things comes out of this' conclude JP Amowe. The Amowe family obviously will be the talk of the town marriage cannot be kept a secret especially when someone like Bunmi is in town ' hey Ajoke my friend have you heard what the rumour mongers are saying about your marriage' Bunmi hypocritically make Ajoke wedding subject of discussion ' here we go again, Bunmi what have you heard this time? 'A lot o! My friend you know me I put my ear on ground' ' is not whether you put your ear on ground but how sure are you  about people talking bad about me' 'this time around Bunmi is right' Iyabo added 'so Iyabo you want to be like Bunmi' ' no is not like that, when we were coming to your house we eaves drop on Adenike and kemi conversation about your marriage to Tunji that the marriage will collapse' Iyabo remarked ' But why for goodness sake would they think my marriage will not work out' Ajoke saddened by the news ' I told you there's some good for nothing people around that want your downfall' ' don't worry Ajoke we are solidly behind you'. This sort of news can make anyone so devastated in this world if you find a way to succeed and the environs try to stop you from your breakthrough devastating as it seems nothing can make you trust whatever will come out of their mouth, for Zion she notice their body language already reveals their willingness to give up their plan to set her up or to set a trap for her. ' she's powerful' one of the town folk remarked. Their character is full of deceit so she must act corny to the extent that she had to lie to her business partner that she's heading to her village instead she went for well deserved holiday with her creative mind, for her music is the soul of her food that allows her to get away from her community that's is full of deceit and pretenders. She knows she's has been wining and dining with an envious environs but when she start to listen to her playlist she forget everything about them her music is like an opium that suppress her pain and anger towards them what she feel when she comes in contact with them the playlist just supersedes her anger, good enough she opens up to her business partner about her love for music and how music makes her feel her partner must be said is such a wonderful guy since he understood her situation he encourages Zion to take  her music as an interest.The problem with her she just doesn't have the courage to give her song out instead she uses some youngsters that are  interested in music.
