??????
I want to touch her and meet her hand,Onome approach even more close and I got weak by her looks.
“mother,here hurts???
“do not leave me again??!
I still said and it was remaining small
just small for our hands to meet,
Onome dragged me back.
I thought I was going to fall inside a pit but she threw me inside a fast flowing river.
*help!!
*help!!! I said with tears.
my mother was leaving again.
?mom don’t go again! stay with me even if it is once in a year” I said.
she shakes her head.”I wish I can stay but we are far,one day I will get to you. Nevertheless, do not stop singing and believing for it is the only way I can feel you”.
“mama, I don’t understand for your words are too sophisticated. Are you alive or dead?”I said.
Onome laughed evily,
my mom shook her head.
“Olamma please help me out” I said.
“give me one reason why I should” olamma replied.
“we share the same father, if not for anything,remember what we used to be when we were younger” I said.
hmmm that’s true,
I need to help you- she smiled in that dream,I got happy as I stretched my hand in the river onome throw me to.
she helped me and I was almost getting out,she pushed my hand and through me back.
“and you think I will help you!.
“yes,I wouldn’t help you and I should hate you because I am so unlucky with no fortunes and you were born with stunning fortunes…
our father is rich which makes you a more “golden girl” born with a silver spoon in your mouth,
but you have something greater,
I can’t even be close to you in my life,
just have to watch you from far away,
I hate you!!!
Thank goodness my mother switched our destiny,
but mark my words–
“olamma bikonu,you can take my fortunes..I don’t care,
Just let me out so I can meet my mom!” I said.
my mother turned,
“are you sooo stupid,Purity”.
my mom shouted.
“mother you won’t understand how hurt I feel here” I said..
“No matter how hurtful the pain is,
the only person you can be is yourself, If you fall down you should quickly pack yourself and stand.
till then ……
???????
I started gasping for breath.
“mummy don’t go!!??
“I have many things to tell you”??
I started saying.
someone tapped me and that was how I opened my eyes.
“Ife what happened,you have been acting so strange in your sleep!
Ngozi said.
I smiled out tears.
“she left me again”
I said and looked the window,it was morning.
I fell tiredly on the bed.
Ngozi hugged me from the back.
“sorry” she said.
“why?” I asked.
“for everything you’re going through” she said.
I smiled, a tear dropped.
“but lotanna is there to make it fun with r0mance.You know he likes pressing a lot” she said.
I laughed so hard,I even forgot my nightmare.
“seriously,the guy is cool. He knows what is good” she said.
“and what’s the good thing” I rolled my eyeballs.
“Ifedimma of course,it means a good thing”she said.
“am not telling him yes okay” I said.
“you need flogging”she tickled me.
I laughed.
my phone rang,I stood and peep into it,it was a video call from lottanna.
what we did yesterday night replayed in my memory and I got so nervous.
“is that Prince lotanna?” NGO asked.
“yes but I don’t want to pick it”
I said.
“then I will” ngozi picked the phone.
I pretended to be sleeping
?good morning sir” she said.
?same here,is Ife there”
ngozi look in my side.
? hey are you there” lotan said.
? yes my prince”
? is Ife there?” he asked.
? hmmm actually she’s sick-
I laughed from where I slept.
? she’s awake now”
waaaaattttt!!!
I didn’t even know when I shout.
? isn’t that her voice” lotan said.
I took the phone from ngozi.
? hi,baby! he sounded so sweet.
ngozi coughed.
? I’m fine” I replied.
? are you cold?” he asked.
I nodded.
? did you bath?” he asked.
I nodded.
? be fast so you can meet that woman at the market and return to the palace proper” he said.
? okay” I nodded and admire his face in the screen.
I wonder if he is also staring at my image too.
? I love you” he said.
? same here” I replied.
.
“say it back” ngozi whispered.
“hun!!! I dropped the phone and ran out,she ran after me.
We ran around the compound.
Ebere passed with dumebi,
I quickly turn back too but too late she saw me.
“Ife is that you” Ebere said.
“I thought they said you followed Mrs okafor.Why are you here? I always knew you’re a whore right from the day your appearance changed.
Always sneaking out at night”
dumebi said.
“watch your mouth this early morning–
good thing you saw me,and now that you know I didn’t follow Mrs okafor keep it to yourself; care to tell the whole world, do not appear to be a gracious pig” I replied.
Ebere laughed at dumebi then came to my side.
“hi,you’re looking sweet” she said.
“hmm thank you” ngozi said and went in,I quickly followed her.
“can I come in?” Ebere asked.
“no,we don’t need a third party”
ngozi said and locked the door.
?????
I bath in her place and seriously I do not have any village cloth with me right now.
“do you have any dress wrapper for sales?” I asked ngozi.
“four thousand naira” she said.
I bought one and left to the market. She can help me keep those things lotanna bought for me.
????????.
I got to the market and stayed in a spot Mrs okafor will see me.
“hey” a man called.
“what” I turned and it turns out to be one of prince Jedioku royal servant, he was even holding the staff of authority.
“hun! I did the respect sign.
“my prince have been searching for you close to three moons now” he said.
“and why would a Nobel and royal like him search for a loyal person like me” I replied.
“maidens beautiful like you make him strong if desires.In one word,you stole his heart” he said.
“funny enough,I only have one heart with me which means I didn’t steal his heart…And if I had stolen his heart,I don’t think he would be alive” I replied.
“smart” he said.
“not that I am too smart,every sensible person knows that no one can leave without a heart” I said.
“what gut!! you sound so insulting.
what’s that your name again! he said.
“nonexistent the daughter of mr and mrs sensible” I replied.
“you’re going with me right now!!
take her!! he commands.
“to where??” Mrs okafor approached and I ran to her side.
the guards silenced each other.
“how can you take a girl away without knowing her heart? you will get punishment for this because am reporting you all”.
Mrs okafor said.
“madam” one of the guards said..
“don’t” she raised her hand.
“you always come her to force our maids out,your king must hear this” she says..
they tried begging,
Mrs okafor walked out on them,
I followed her happily.
@ adesola golden stories??
Onome’s p.o.v
I just came back from the market,
my husband entered from his meeting too.
“dear you must be hungry” I said.
“hot water would be okay for now” he replied.
Just then,a maid came in smilling in happiness.
“madam we have a very important visitor…Visitors from the royal chamber of Jedioku the third” she said..
.
“chineke eeeh(oh my god) fortune smiled on me this early morning” I got happy.
the door opened,it was them.
The prince,the staff of authority and his guards.
I quickly knelt down,
my husband also removed his cap.
“what’s your purpose on your gracious arrival?” my husband asked as we sat.
“chief kelechi,if I ask something from you won’t you refuse me”.
the prince said and gosh smell of wealth.
“it depends on whom you want”
I replied.
“last time at the market, she didn’t say her name…” the prince said.
I sighed.
“she has sparkling eyes,soft pink lips, long lashes….perfect curves..
fair skinned complexion.
she smiles a lot and each time she laughs its like all of the cloud on sky comes into bloom.
but when I met this pretty girl,
I was deeply impressed,her type is rare” the prince said..
“but I only have one daughter and she is not even fair,she’s caramel colored” my husband said…
I already knew the prince speaks of Adeife- that brat.
“olamma!!! my husband called.
“yes daddy” she answered and rushed in.
“long life my prince” she greeted.
The prince looked at her and scoffed.
“not her…
“she doesn’t suite my taste” he said.
“olamma you can leave” I said.
she got confused and left.
“then you must be mistaken” my husband said.
“I know the girl you’re talking about..
She’s Adeife” I said..
“who’s Adeife?” my husband asked..
I didn’t bother replying him because he is under my control.
“dear you need some rest” I said.
“go and sleep,have prepared your bed” I said and he obeyed like that.
I faced the prince.
“Adeife is my late senior wife’s daughter but when her mother died, she left a warning that Adeife mustn’t marry” I lied.
“now,what do I do
“I want to marry that girl” he said.
I smiled deep down..
Prince Jedioku is wealthy,this is my chance to use his wealth in getting Adeife back.
“what do you need?” he asked.
“well—–
