Danica
I walked out of the room, my hand over my shoulder and found grandma sitting on the bench, her head bent downwards.
She was quiet and probably didn’t notice my presence until I went to sit next to her. Then, she lifted her head to look at me.
“Is it done?” She asked calmly and I nodded.
“The doctor’s done with me” I added.
Mum, Bitna and her parents were still there.
“Danica…” She sighed and held my hand.
“I know you must be so mad at me, at everyone. But the truth is, I never wanted to hurt your feelings. I never wanted to make you go through any of these…”
“Granny please, it’s okay” I cut in calmly.
“I don’t blame you for anything. I mean…you didn’t do anything wrong”.
I withdrew my hands from hers and stared down at the floor, then whispered:
“If there’s anyone to be blamed here, it’s mum”.
There was a short silence.
“I don’t know what I ever did to that woman to make her hate me this much. If all these is true, then it means she’d actually taken me away from my biological parents just to make me suffer. She had taken me away from my parents and treated me like an animal. I understand if she’s having issues with ma’am Maya, but did she really have to involve me? I was just a kid.
“Frankly speaking, I don’t think I can ever forgive her for this”.
Grandma’s head was bent in her contrition and I could tell she was probably ashamed having someone like Kim for a daughter.
“I’m really sorry, Danica, for everything you had to pass through in the hands of Kim. I wish there was something I could do to….”
Her words got interrupted when mum walked out of ward, her face looking so swollen like one who wanted to eat a frog.
She paused and stared at grandma and I, then walked away without saying a word.
A wind of silence went after her.
“Granny” I turned to grandma and called.
“I don’t want you to feel bad towards any of these, because I dont regret it either. If this hadn’t happened, I probably wouldn’t had known you; grown up with you. You’re the best thing that’s happened to me, granny and I dont regret it at all.
Tears filled her eyes immediately.
“Oh Danica! I can’t believe this!” She exhaled and pulled me into a tight hug.
“I love you so much, dear. And I never wanted to lose you. That was the reason I wanted to take you out of the city when you get discharged. I didn’t want to lose you, Danica” she wept on my shoulders, squeezing me tight.
“I love you too, granny” i whispered.
Shortly, more footsteps were heard and when I had a look, it was Bitna and her parents.
Grandm and I disengaged from the hug immediately.
Bitna’s eyes were swollen, enough evidence she’d been crying for a long time. She glared at me before walking away.
But her parents stayed back.
“Danica…” Mrs Maya called softly.
“The….The doctor said the results would be out in two days time. So, we’re to wait till then”
I just bent my head and nodded, not saying a word.
“Don’t you think you should come stay with us for the meantime? You know, you shouldn’t be…”
“I’m sorry ma’am, but I can’t” I replied sharply. “I’m…. I’m okay staying with the prince for now – at least z untill the results are out”.
“Are you sure about that?” She asked and I nodded.
“Okay then. I really can’t wait for the results either. And….to be frank, I hope all these is true and you’re truly my daughter, because Kim doesn’t deserve someone like you”.
I looked at her and feigned a smile.
Just then, her phone started ringing and she brought it out from her bag.
“Susan?
Yes, I remember.
It has to wait, Susan, please. I can’t come over right now.
Goodness! Okay, fine. I’ll try” she ended the call with a sad expression and dipped the phone bdck into her bag.
“I really have to go now. There’s an emergency. I’ll come see you, okay?” She spoke hurriedly.
“Okay ma’am. Thanks”. I replied with a smile.
She touched my shoulders and scurried off.
“Goodbye, Dan” Mr Williams also said and left.
“Danica” grandma called immediately.
“I really don’t like the idea of you staying with the prince. Please dear, come over to the house with me, at least for the meantime”.
“I…I can’t even think of it, granny. I can’t think of facing mum, or looking at her – not after what’s happened”. I shook my head.
“Oh! Danica…”
“Don’t worry about me, granny. I’ll be fine, please. The prince is a nice person. And besides, it’s only going to be for a couple of days. You need to understand me”.
She sighed and leaned backwards.
“Of course, I do. Of course, I do” she mumbled.
“It’s just….” She paused and sighed again.
“Just be careful around him, Danica”.
“Of course, I will”.
She smiled and stood up.
“Come on. I’ll see you off so you can get a cab” she stretched out her hand to me and I placed mine on it.
“Thank you, granny” I smiled and we started walking together.
Thinking about it…
I’ll be alone with the prince for two more days.

Later in the day……..
Bitna walked into the hospital, having some big glasses over her eyes.
She went straight to the doctor’s office and luckily, found him there.
“Good day, doctor” she greeted as she kept her bag on the table and took a seat
“Good day..miss” The doctor was staring keenly at her.
He couldn’t recognize her, but not until she took off her glasses.
“Bitna!” He called surprised.
“Wow! I wasn’t expecting you. What’re you doing here?”
“I’m here to see you, doctor – on something very important”.
She looked really angry and sober.
“Okay…. I’m listening” the doctor leaned forward, wondering what she could possibly have to say.
She let a few seconds of silence pass before speaking out.
“Ask for anything, doctor – anything at all. I want you to change the results of the DNA test”.
