Episode 24????
I stood up hastily and found refuge at the back of some flowers,nkem also stood up he bounce walked forward, the wueeh passed that moment.
“what are you doing here alone?”,
she asked.
nkem took his l!ps in and ran his fingers to the back of his n.eck.
“am resting” he said.
“fresh air….isn’t there air conditioner on your room?”, the queen asked.
“ammmm….” he searched for answers, the queen eye landed on my anklets.
gosh,I had actually kept it on the floor.
how careless?
the queen picked it up and smiled.
“nkem you’re with a female again,how many girls are you even seeing,Akwa ka Aziza…hope you’re ready to be a father?” the queen said.
she dropped my anklet and left.
I came out of my hideout immediately she left,I picked my anklets.
its true nken have numerous girlfriends,even the queen knows the type of cousin she has.Nkem mother also died immediately he was born,it was the queen that brought him up as a mother.
lucky him.
“sir….I will leave” I said and wanted to run,he still dragged me back by my hand.
“the queen might come back again” I said with nervousness.
“hey,don’t think about what she said” he said, I carefully slip my hand away.Even ngozi told me he is a woman wrapper,he crosses females legs like he is crossing road.
I watch him took his lips in.
“miss…am not a peeve, you’re just a friend” he said,and still stared at me,
I nodded and ran away.I bumped into chioma,she cleared her throat in an annoying manner.
I retired to my b.ed and kept my anklet in my save…
*I wish my love for love will grow in her heart*****
love????????
but my name means crown of love..
Aaaaah,it can’t be me!
no good looking guy would want an ugly nobody as a partner.
Jeeeezzzz…even Lotanna always avoid me,everyone avoid me-
maybe,just maybe am only meant to appreciate his handsomeness.
chioma’s clap woke me up fully,
I wake up last again!!
“guess what I saw yesterday?”,
she started.
I excused myself and went to bath.
“abeg that one no be news again”,
Vicky said immediately I came in from the bathroom.
“whatever” I rolled my eyeballs avd selected what to wear.
“as ugly as she is…tufiakwa”
I heard one of the girls saying.
I turned,the person talking kept quiet.
“say it again or remain silent forevermore” I said.
“as ugly as she is!!! i heard again, it was dumebi.
“dumebi what exactly do you want??? is it fight or my insults because have tolerated you enough” I said.
? ugly bratty!!!!!

dumebi shouted as she clapped.
I laughed even though the insults are touching, other kids are fond of doing that to me,always treating me harshly.
“you that you’re beautiful,what have you achieved? ain’t we in the same level-maid maid…
legs like broom stick,what shape do you have?

“chimooo!!! Rhoda shouted.
“just passing by! chioma said.
“the insult much oo” Vicky said.
Mrs okafor came in,
we all minded our business.
“what’s the news all about humm?”,
she asked.
no one replied.
she sighed and left.
I dressed up and stated my work.
Ebere passed by,
“Adeife,hi” she waved.
“I’m good and you?”, I asked.
“fine,are you using anything for the marks on your body?”, she asked.
“no,aunt Tracy said she would get cream for me,guess her travel is today” I said.
“yes,she has been promoted to the position of a barrister-in fact she has a case at an high court at lekki to settle?” she said
“I wish her good luck” I said.
“yeah me too” she replied.
soon we were done,we both approached the kitchen to carry our foods.Mrs okafor was in sharing coconut candy.
what a mother to all of us?.
she approached Ebere,
“aaah” she said,Ebere opened her mouth,she smiled and Dropped the candy in.
waoow,I like her.
what a mother? it made me love to experience motherly love…
no one cares for me apart from ngozi.
I carried my food and started leaving as she looked in my direction…
she doesn’t need to act as a mother to me,am ugly right?.
“ADEIFE over here” she called.
“me or her?”, I accosted.
“Aaaah” she said as she walked towards my direction.
I smiled and opened my mouth, she put the homemade candy in my mouth..
“thanks mother” I said.I wish I have a mother too.
the other girls left already.
“only you said thank you” she said..
I smiled and still wanted to leave.
“kindly drop this at Lotanna’s living room,there is a dining by the right” she said.
“okay” I said and dropped my own food.I washed my hands before touching the tray.
I passed different stairway,
soon I arrived.
I knocked, no reply again!.
I popped my head in,I rushed in and dropped the tray with care.
I got to the door but stopped when I saw the bead ngozi gave me as gift on a golden stool..
what’s it doing here?
‘it is mine, it has my name!
“does he likes it,why is he keeping it?
? trouble right,avoid me do not come near me…neither shall we see nor meet”.
I remembered his words,I rushed out and closed his door.
I left.
my Tracy’s p.o.v
where is Lotanna??? his he not suppose to join general dining for breakfast??? is there something he is hiding?? his snubish attitude is getting out of hand…this is not my brothers attitude? he was not like this as at last year…all this started when he built “glamour and believe”.
“Tracy you’re not eating” mother said
“so as I was saying,if I become the king,nkem I will…” Jidenna said.
“father isn’t dead,you’re dreaming of kind already…g0sh,am full”
I said and stood up.
It started raining and I still have a flight to catch.
“where is Lotanna?”, I asked.
“at the waterfall,am sure Akuna is with him”Nkem said.
Akuna,why akuna-are they that close,are they an item…
I left,soon I arrived at the waterfall.
I met Akuna there,she looked so bothered.
“why are you staying here all alone in the rain,where is Lotanna?”, I asks.
she kept quiet.
“get out of the rain” I said.
“noo noo,let me be.Just get Lotanna out of the rain first…you know his health issues” she said.
“fine,I will…just leave the rain” i said, offering to share my umbrella.
“no,I can’t he doesn’t want to see me…just get him out of the rain and make sure he is fine.He is in the orchard” she said,a tear dropped out of her eyes, she wiped it off.
why all this painful expression because of Lotanna?
I left the waterfall and locate the orchard, there he was sitting in a pavement.
Under this rain!!
has he forgotten he has cold?.
he turned,I quickly hide.
“Tracy,I saw you no need hiding” he said and stood up.
“don’t leave,I want to talk to you” I said..
“no need” he said and took few steps…
“Lotanna you can talk to me,an your elder sister,you can share secrets with me,who hurt you? talk to me even if it is once in this year…I love you so much…remember what we used to be, what we used to share, do not shut me out like you do to other people,this is Tracy…you can trust me,
look at me my light…” I said.
“how am I sure you’re…” he paused.
“can i trust you,elder sister?..
“Xinren means trust in each other,but the reason why am alive today is because i don’t have trust in other people….all because of three things!
I’m scared to love a girl,
I’m scared to trust,
and am scared to…..” he paused.
“I’m scared to tell you the reason,bye happy birthday in advance” he said, and hasten his catwalk.
“Lotannna,wait…..
