Chapter Fifteen
Few Years Later

Bindi was crying tears of joy. Aziza and Kuruk were finally married. Hokou squeezed her shoulder affectionally as a fresh roll of tears came down. She wasn't even that old and she was to be a grandmother soon.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just a few months after Aziza's wedding, Aziza ran up to her mother, showing her the bump growing in her.
"Oh, Aziza! Guess what?"
"What, Mom?!"
"I'm pregnant too."
"No way!"
Bindi nodded.
"Although yours will be older than mine." Bindi laughed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aziza and Kuruk named their little girl with short black hair and bangs Chirita, Bindi's and Hokou's first grandchild. Safari had happily taken the post of an aunt. Okau and Mau, both grown boys, had taken a liking to Chirita, who was like her mother in every perspective, quiet and loving and caring. Bindi was overjoyed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bindi had a little girl with chin length black hair and thick red lips. Paima was to be her name. Safari had let her theory of the girls taking after her handsome father fall; Paima was a bit too much like her mother. Hokou laughed and saw that his favorite little girl was no longer a little girl. Safari Had grown lovely, but her way of talk either sometimes made her more appealing or more rude and dislikeful. When told she was now to pick either Chip or Laki Land, she said "I would marry Laki. Chip is too old. I think Paima would do good with him." Bindi had scolded her, but Hokou and the others just laughed. It would be such a prize for the either of the Land brothers to marry beautiful loud-mouthed Safari Water.
