It was a day before Christmas and it was that time of the year again when she would have all her children and grandchildren come around her big warm house kunai to share food and reunite.
Her husband had passed away some time ago and she lived alone, despite her children telling her to leave the village and come live with them in town where they all were working and share the privileges of life in the city she refused.
To her village was home and to adapt to town life was just not in her nature at all.
So her children built her a big house but she still wanted her big 'haus kunai' so they built her both.
In the Agarabi land of Kainantu is where she is from in Punano.
That morning she and her dog woke up to enjoy the morning sun when she was told of enermy that was coming to destroy the village and approaching closer, it was regarding land resources something she knew nothing of with no interest at all for her age. She fled with the rest of the people in the village and up the mountains seeking refuge. For her age she had already given up. Along the run for safety she lost her best friend (her dog) 🐕 . She stood from the mountains and could only see flames rising from her home where her 'haus kunai' stood, was nothing but flames. Only thinking that she had lost home and her best friend.😔🥺
Her in law (daughter's husband) who is a cop at Kainantu town came to the rescue that evening and she was brought to safety.
But what has become of her home? Where is her best friend, maybe he was butchered destroyed among the properties. She was worried.
To be continued...
