SEASON_2_EPISODE_34??
????
I bashed my lashes to prevent looking sad
then i smiled…maybe i over passed my boundaries,next time i will not fall in love with someone that is too perfect to be mine.
lotanna finally realized am not good enough for him.I feel so pained but after all he went for his class.
“your hold on my hair is too tight”
Akuna said.
“but I didn’t even hold it tight”I replied
she sat well like the world is hers,
she smiled for no reason and ordered me to bring her phone which is just beside her.
is this how you treat your maid?
how many maids do you have?
I got her phone for her and continued with her hair,
then she picked a call.
“Xara will you come?”I heard her say
“okay,am on my way”I heard again.
soon I was done with her hair,
it was so pretty.
then she took the mirror.
“will he like it like this?”she smiled.
that was when i got more confused,
first she called him “my love”
she dressed soo exposed like this alone with him in his room…
I felt more pained,
I know they are dating now,
this visit can’t be ordinary.
now I don’t have someone to call mine again…only ngozi.
“okay,you can go”she said.
I left and went back to my room,
the girls came to my side,they have been waiting for me since I promised to buy them cloths for tomorrow’s party where the crowned prince will choose his queen..
“what happened?”ebere asked.
“what’s this mood?”Dumebi said.
“I think am sick….I won’t be able to follow you guys to the market again” I said and dried my tears as I rush to where my belongings was..
I brought out the money i collected from “mama D” another place where I save…
“dumebi just share the money among others,this should be enough”I said.
she took the money happily.
“thanks Ife but should we get for you?”Vicky asked.
“nothing…I don’t want” I said.
“but you already give out all your new clothes,don’t tell me you’re wearing old clothes tomorrow”Rhoda,the youngest said.
“am not attending”I said.
“but why??????they all shouted.
“I just said am sick”I replied.
“but you need to attend…we all know you’re now the prettiest, we want you to dress well and disappoint Akuna for us” ebere said.
when I didn’t answer them,
they left..
I dried my tears with the back of my palms..
am I not being stupid with tears?.
Am confused like mad but I don’t want to over think
over thinking makes me get sick..
I stopped when i remembered no one will pay my hospital bills.
I had to wash my face twice,
then i return to lay on my bed and tried not to think…
in as much that I don’t want to,
I started thinking.
I started from Onome..
Lotanna why did I fall for you?.
that day you asked me out
it felt real,
I thought I was dreaming,
you said I meant something
and i suddenly forgot my pains when you became my friend,
I didn’t even feel sad I have no family.
now i saw you with Akuna,
it makes me feel so lonely like am back to square one to start my pain afresh…you see am not even happy you left me..
is my sin that much?.
is my behavior not too good?.
are you not happy with me again?
am I still something to you???
anything at all……
mom??where are you?
have called you more than a thousand time but you don’t even care…I wish I was in a life where I can be with you, even if dad still disown me I won’t mind..
being with you is all I want,I won’t even try falling in love again let me just be my mother’s heart crown alone.
Am so lonely at least if you won’t show up,come and console me in my dreams…
I beg of you please come to me,
I don’t want to be in this palace anymore…
so I won’t get to see and be around lotanna anymore,
he doesn’t know who Adeife is anymore…
him asking me out was just a joke in the end.
I forced myself not to think,
then I went to ngozi’s place but i won’t still tell her what happen..
she will make jest of me since she has told me the queen doesn’t like commoners, she would say I pluck pain by myself with plucking stick.
Akuna’s p.o.v???
the cab I took stopped at zubi kingdom.
now where is Xara.
I checked my phone and saw the address,she sent it already.
the cab man took me there,
it was Xara’s resting place.
I met Xara waiting for me outside in a short black polo which was as low as her hips.
“finally” she breathed out as i came out of the cab.
I followed her in.
“why didn’t you bring your car?”
she asked.
“for some reasons”I said.
“now,are you sure about tomorrow?” she asked.
“Lotanna didn’t speak to me ..
am only forcing myself on him and he only allowed me in his suite because his mother spoke to him..
he had no choice than to allow me in,
he always obey his mother..
buy I don’t think he fell plus he knows Ife performed the sacrifice for him”I said.
“Chai…tomorrow might be a bad day for you Akuna,
Lotanna always obey his mother does not mean he will choose you as his queen…”Xara said.
soon,someone knocked.
“our guest”Xara whispered and went for the door.
“good morning ma’am” xara greeted.
“god bless you my daughter” she replied..
this woman is a pretty one,
she had Ife’s face too,she looks so hot..
now,I can see where Ife got her curvy shape from… her mother is a shot and of course a big hit.
“who’s Akuna…isn’t that the person that am suppose to meet”she said.
“yes am the one”I smiled.
“thank God.Where’s my daughter,did you bring her for me,where is purity?”
she asked.
I looked at Xara.
“forget about money aspect, I will pay two times of any amount you call. All I want is purity”she said..
“but your daughter isn’t here,she’s in Jeariah kingdom, she stays with Onome her step mother,
Chief Kelechi her dad and Olamma her step sister” I said but I lied with the name if the kingdom.
I just wanted her far away.
“umm..yes you’re right but there are some things that are making me confused.I don’t have a senior wife, did my husband remarry?….
Anyways,am not even concerned about that. All I want is “Ifedioku”.
I will be going to Jeeriah kingdom right away that means I will have to stay there for like two months so I can find her.I promise to reward you if I find her” she said..
a guard then came in.
“Mrs Adesola,we are–
“I know”she cut him off and collected the nylon bag he was holding.
“my daughters,manage this for me”
she said and gave the nylon to Xara.
she then left with the guard’s.
Xara followed them.
she came back one hour later and gave me a high five.
“aku I just checked,they headed towards the south…Jeeriah kingdom” she said.
I smiled and she opened the nylon, it was filled with money.
Adeife?Adeife?……
I didn’t meet ngozi at the market, so I went to her house where I met her.
gaad,I don’t want to remember what happened again.
“let’s go out,I need to get cloths to..
tell me,what will you wear tomorrow?”she asked.
I smiled, I dare not tell her i won’t attend.
She took me to another dress store entirely,only royalities buys clothes here….did we miss road.
Ngozi entered there with so much confidence.
“ngozi!!!! I called.
“come in and stop shouting” she said
I entered.
We were given chairs to sit,
I was starting to get confused,even when i have the money i don’t always come here.
I sat,Ngozi stood up and started selecting expensive dress.
“ngozi are you sure you want to buy or you want to use them to play…
if you know you want to use them play you better let’s get out”I said.
she smiled.
“you’re smiling…do you think this place is like old nana’s place!I asked.
“Am picking that one” she pointed to something more unique,
the exact cloth I saw Akuna bragging about buying..
is ngozi joking or what.
“where did you get money?”I whispered…
she still smiled.
“are you sure you want to buy,they don’t always play trick here”I whispered again..
“Excuse me madam, who is wearing?”the woman in charge asked
“her??”ngozi pointed at me.
“whaaat,did I tell you i want to buy cloth” I said.
the woman got confused..
“how am I sure you really want to buy”the woman said.
ngozi shocked me by bringing out a huge coin bag.
The woman smiled…she took my hand and dragged me in.
Jesus!!!!
what’s all these.
“Tiara!!! Tiara!!! Tiara!!! bring a chair, we have a special customer” the woman shouted.
“yes mama,am coming” I heard a girl.
“am sorry dear”this woman almost knelt down for me all because of money..
A little girl came in with a pretty clean chair she even helped me sit down.
“Which one first?”she asked..
I got so confused.
Ngozi came in smiling,I glared at her and followed the woman to the dressing section.
she won’t stop smiling.
“all the clothes suite you,so which one are you taking?”she asked.
“everything”ngozi chirped in..
the woman didn’t wait,she packed everything and in watch in amusement as ngozi paid,
she even got change..
It doesn’t even look like the money in her hand reduced at all.
“my lady what about you,are you not buying?you only bought for your pretty friend! she said.
“no,the money is her’s not mine”
ngozi said..
ohh good lord am confused.
I followed ngozi out.
“where did you get money,just tell me now or—
“I will tell you once you plait your hair”she said and entered a saloon.
is this girl kidding? I followed her in.
she met with the stylist,
the stylist was making Akuna’s hair.
I don’t know what she told the stylist, the stylist left Akuna’s hair and came to me…
someone else took over Akuna’s hair.
special sit!!!
okay,I sat down..
Akuna looked at me,I looked away.
“madam sorry, but I can’t let go of this opportunity”the stylist said to Akuna..
what does she mean by her words!
am not even concerned about that, I want to know where Ngozi get money from!!
The hair took soo long,
night came,she still wasn’t done.
what type of hair is this??
soon she was done!!
finally,I stood up…
“this hair suite you”she said.
“thank you ma’am”I said.
“you’re pretty as well”another said.
“what cream do you rub?”another asked..
“and your hair,have you relaxed it, what product do you use on it?”.
another asked.
I don’t even know what to answer first..as I turned to ngozi.
“my friend now look different…just smile”she teased.
“am not laughing okay,tell me where you get the money and I will laugh”
I said..
“can I see you?”the stylist came tome
“I would like to introduce you to Davic and Dreg Fashion,you can become a millionaire overnight….”
she started.
“what does that mean?”I asked.
“like using your beauty to advertise product for people in the city and abroad,trust me the pay is good” she said and handed me a card.
“call me if you’ve had a rethink” she said..
I nodded like I understand what she said ..you see it’s good to be educated.
I followed Ngozi out,
I was very curious.
“now can you tell me about the money”I asked.
“do you want to know everything?” she asked.
we approached her house.
“fine,I will tell you who gave me the money once you clock 100years old” she said and ran into her house.
I stayed outside knocking,
this girl already locked the door.
“Adeife go,I can’t tell you who gave me the money” she said..
I sighed and left for the palace.
The front gate was guarded with so much guards…I will get queried for coming in so late,so I went to the back door where I knocked.
someone opened,
I turned…it was lotanna.
our eyes ran into each other he stared at me like in movies,I quickly look away and closed the door quietly.
did he stay there waiting for me?
aaah noo,it can’t be.
“Ifeeee”he called with so much care
he wanted to touch me,I shift back.
I don’t know what happened,I ran away….
