ከብዙ አመታት በፊት ተፈሪ መኮንን የሚባል አንድ ወጣት ደጃዝማች በሃረር አካባቢ ይኖር ነበር። እና ኑሮውን በሰላም በመኖር ላይ ሳለ አንድ ቀን ያልጠበቀው ነገር ገጠመው። ተፈሪ እንደወትሮው ጸሎት ላይ ሳለ ስልክ እንደሚፈልገው ተነገረው። የደወለለት የአጤ ምኒልክ ዙፋን ወራሽ ልጅ እያሱ ነበር። ሰላምታ ከተለዋወጡ በሁዋላ ልጅ እያሱ በቀጥታ ተፈሪን እንዲህ አለው፣
“ስማ ተፈሪ! የእህቴን ልጅ መነን አስፋውን ልድርልህ ወስኛለሁ። የአንተ አሳብ ምንድነው?”
ተፈሪ በጣም ደነገጠ። ምክንያቱም መነን ከሶስተኛ ባሏ ጋር ከተጋባች ገና አንድ አመት እንኳ አልሞላትም ነበር። ከዚያ በፊት ካገባቻቸው ሁለት ባሎች በድምሩ አራት ልጆች መውለዷንም ያውቃል። አራት ልጆች ከወለደች በሁዋላ ሶስተኛ ባል አግብታ በመኖር ላይ ያለችን ሴት፣ “ልዳርልህ” የሚል አሳብ ሲቀርብለት ተፈሪ መደንገጡ የሚጠበቅ ነበር። እና ድንጋጤውን ዋጥ አድርጎ ጥያቄ አቀረበ፣
“ጌታዬ! ለኔ የምታስብልኝን ሁሉ በደስታ መቀበል ፍላጎቴ ነው። ዳሩ ግን መነን የራስ ልኡልሰገድ ሚስት ናት። እንዴት ሆኖ ነው ለኔ የምትዳረው?”
ልጅ እያሱ በቁጣ ቃል ምላሽ ሰጠ፣
“እሱን ለኔ ተወው። አንተ እዚህ ውስጥ መግባት የለብህም። የጠየቅሁህ ‘መነንን ታገባታለህ ወይስ አታገባትም?’ የሚለውን ነው…”
በዚህ ጊዜ ተፈሪ መኮንን ምላሹን ሰጠ፣
“እሺ አገባታለሁ”
“እንግዲያው በ15 ቀናት ውስጥ ሽማግሌ ወደአዲሳባ ላክልን። አንተ አዲሳባ መምጣት አያስፈልግህም። ሽማግሌዎቹ ሚስትህን ይዘውልህ ይመጣሉ።”
ሁለቱ የባላባት ልጆች በዚህ መልኩ ስለመነን በሚነጋገሩበት ወቅት መነን ከሶስተኛ ባሏ እና ከአራት ልጆቿ ጋር በሰላም በመኖር ላይ ነበረች። ለአራተኛ ጊዜ ለሌላ ባል እዳራለሁ ብላ በህልምዋ እንኳ አሳቡ አልነበራትም። ከሶስተኛ ባሏ ጋር በፍቅርና በደስታ መኖር ጀምራ ነበር።
ተፈሪ መኮንን ከልጅ እያሱ ጋር የስልክ ንግግሩን ካበቃ በሁዋላ በቀጥታ ወደ ፀሎቱ ነበር የተመለሰው። ፀሎቱን እንዳበቃም ከአባቱ ወዳጆችና ነባር መኳንንቶች ጋር በጉዳዩ ላይ መከሩበት። ጋብቻውን ከመቀበል ውጭ ምርጫ አልነበራቸውም። መነንን እንደ ሙሽራ በማጀብ ወደ አራተኛ ባሏ የሚያመጧትም አራት ሲህ ወታደሮች ወደ አዲስአበባ ተላኩ። ከሞቀ ትዳሯ እና ከሶስተኛ ባሏ ነጥለውም ወደ ሃረር ወስደው ለተፈሪ መኮንን ዳሯት። ወይዘሮ መነን ወደ ተዘጋጀላቸው አራተኛ ባል እንድትሄድ ስትጠየቅ፣ “አምላክ በዚሁ በቃሽ ይበለኝ” ከማለት ሌላ አንዳችም ቃል እንዳልተነፈሰች ይነገራል። በርግጥም አምላክ ፀሎቷን ሰምቶላታል።
አጤ ሃይለስላሴ ተገደው እቴጌ መነንን ካገቡ በሁዋላ እስከ ህይወታቸው ፍፃሜ በጋብቻ ኖረዋል። እቴጌ መነንም ከአራተኛ ባላቸው በርካታ ልጆችን ለማፍራት በቅተዋል።

Dear Tesfaye,at least you were raised in the midst of cultured society where elders were respected,but every time you try to write about Ethiopian history i see you diminizing and ridiculing every one who contributed a great deal for the country.Where does this kind of immoral attitude takes you? I really advise you to look for a psycho.evaluation.HATE is a sever pathology.
you know more than any one, would you please, tell us also about the Dictator’s wife Azeb? like ,how many boy friends and / or “Weshemas” she had ? And how many times she married before sticking to your master Tayrant Zenawi?
Who is next in your trash talk? Emporor Tewodros ?
Dear Tesfaye,
Keep up the good work. I do not have words to express my appreciation for your writing knowledge. For me, only Lord is God. A human being remains a human being always. His or her contribution should not lead to the extent of being worshiped like God. That I leave for Jamaicans. They can believe in whatever they like. Minilik, Teferi, Mengistu, Meles, all are human beings though they may have place in history.
Moti, what do you mean by respect? Is Teferi not his name? Or you want him to be called elect of God, lion of Judah, bla bla……dead feudalism language?
All humans are born equal.
So what! You still trying to scribe irrelevant things. What are you up to you(tesfaye) demonized person? Come to your mind.
KELAWCH YEMILEW AYITEFA! Go to hell man. If you are brave, tell us how many husbands Azeb had before. Do not base your fiction with everything you read. Your writings about Amhara had annoyed me in the past and they do the same every time you write. You are evil person filled with Anti-Amhara propaganda.
Thank you Tesfaye, I enjoy reading your short articles, they are interesting and informative. I am learning bits of our Abesha history here and there.
There are many out there who hate to read and know the real Ethiopian history, ignore them. Ethiopia like many nations and human beings is not perfect and can not be perfect.
Still, we love Ethiopia. It is very interesting nation all the way from the Red Sea to moyale and from Ogadien to Gambiela.
May god bless you,

Only Tesfaye is the best journalist ever born in that dark empire. If you try to hide truth, there is no freedom of speech, if there is no freedom of speech there is no journalist.
Until now we had spokes person of the dictators, just until Tesfaye came. Tesfaye dont be discouraged, if we gone grow in that hell country freedom of speech should be accepted
why do so many of you live in denial,and blame the writer, eventhough he has cited his reference? Why are you offended? Here in the west, we hear this kind of dirty closet story about former presidents, senators, celebrities, etc.day in and day out. Lets allow this elequent writer use his skill by not posting nonsense.
How much taxpayers money (in$
Tesfaye,
How much money in dollars are you paid for promoting the dictators’ anti Ethiopia agenda in general and anti Amhara propoganda in particular ?
0
Tesfaye you are sick please visit a psycologist.
You are searching for some weak aspects of the ethiopian History never the god aspect.We know who are you and your mission!! STOPP DEFAMING OUR BELAVED LEADERS!!! Go and beg your centes from woyane. Your pen is full of Trash!!!! Banda neh!!!
I don’t deny Tesfaye has writting skill but he lacks the moral integrity. I feel that he has sinister and hidden motive. I don’t understand how some Ethiopians never understand or could see his hidden agenda.
Kemal
What is wrong with those people who critise Tesfaye? If you know the real history and proof that he is wrong, bring your side let us judge based up on evidence. Unless, simply blaming is nothing. wether the emperer is good or bad, the people who governed under him knows. Any system is good for those who benefit from it.The same is true for Woyanne too. The evil meles is seen as saint for his cadres.

we all knows you now who you are; so please go back to your shell. your mask has neen exposing early . if you think that you are soccessful hay keep writing as you are Devil,the more you write the more you remain Necked!you are no longer confusing no one about your Identity ; by the way the majority of Eritrean Respect and loved Emperor King Haile selassi so do not try associating yourself with the Respected people of Eritrean . The story what you posted is not false , i myself read it and i guaranty you many of Ethiopian and Erirean have been reading it on the Ato Zewde Reta`s book ; Therefore what was your point? #1 you have tried decolorized the Excellent picture of Ethiopian history .#2 as your master Zenawy you also defined of a moral deficiency (loose of parent monitoring or home training )as a result you both built up hate when you grew up . my advice to you is keep writing and the rest of your supporter will cath you soon like i do .
Tesfaye, you better write short and real history about how woyanes are creating a problem in the ethiopians and their conspiracy theory to ruin ethiopia and ethiopians including the fascisick nature and act of MAEKELAW ISER BETE GIFE which you know more about. You are good on that to write . Otherwise, you better stop in writing old things. It is a writer responsibility to writr what has happened today and tomorrow. About our past it is the job of a historians who have knowledge skills and educational background to do so. You do not know how to make research and interpret results . It is beyond your capacity. In order to that ,you need to attend University and be graduate with a B>A degree or whatever. No one appreciate you for writing what you do not know.
ጎበዝ! ተስፋዬ እኮ ታሪክ ጠቀሰ እንጂ ታሪክ አልጻፈም
bubu, do you know the real meaning of historyr? if you think you do you are wrong ; if you want to know about history , ask or go to liberary and read history books like the last days of Adolf hitler or speeches made by his infamous propogandist Gubbles. It is your full right to admire any ignorant like Tesfaye ; but, don’t tell us that he mentioned history, as neither of you have the slightest knowledge of history. he is a garbage collctor trying to distort history and working hard to impliment the tyrant’s ideology .(wants to be zenaw’s Gubbels?)
I have big problem with this man called tesfay?why he write about ethiopai,not about his country eritrea?your band…go hell!

Mr Tesfaye. I do not mind of refreshing the readers about the old emperor if you are targeting those who have not read the book. I also expect you to refresh us on what is going on in the current palace. For the Ethiopians what matters is what is going on at this moment. As most of the readers above commented we also have the right to question your articles. Your integrity will be in stake if you derailed from the truth. Keep writing .
