With a grateful heart, Naomi thanked the guardian and made her way back to the surface.
As she emerged into the sunlight, she could not help but marvel at the adventure she
had just experienced. And though she had returned with a priceless treasure, she knew
that the greatest treasure of all was the courage and curiosity that had led her there.

Whispers of the Heart

Our endless journey has brought us to the small village of Kapologwe. The village
of plenty of water as it was famously known was covered by rolling hills and lush
greenery. It was here where Lugano, a humble farmer’s son, meets Siti, the daughter of
a wealthy landowner. Despite their different backgrounds, they are drawn to each other
by an undeniable spark of love. Their love blossoms quietly, like the delicate petals of
a rose in bloom.
As Lugano and Siti started seeing each other, the news of their relationship reached
their families. Siti’s family strongly opposes their relationship, believing Lugano is
unworthy of their daughter’s affection. This made both Lugano and Siti very sad.
Whoever said that love conquers all has never come across societal expectations that
always threaten to tear people apart.
In the middle of all this, one of the villagers received his nephew, Majura. He was a
handsome scholar and Siti’s parents saw a husband in him than in Lugano. Majura’s
arrival, therefore, brought unforeseen consequences, stirring jealousy and division
within the community. The majority of the villagers supported Lugano and Siti’s love
but the rest aligned with Siti’s parents.

One day, Lugano woke up to the noise near his door. He reached for a knife on his way
to the door. Knife on air, he opened the door and struck whatever was on the door. He
went out of the door stepping on a pool of blood. He lifted and looked closely. Someone
had slaughtered a goat and put it near his door. He lifted the carcass, and suddenly a
group of men seized him. He was accused of stealing and slaughtering someone’s goat.

The next morning, Lugano was put in front of the village coucil. So many witnesses
came forward to testify that they saw Lugano take the goat. One even said he saw him, he
thought it was his. Siti stood by Lugano as she believed that Lugano could never do that.
