Danica
After eating alone, I cleared the table and went straight to my room to stay. Thank goodness, I didn’t see Nathan cause I didn’t think I wanted to see him at the moment – not even hi childhood friend.
I sat sullenly on the bed, thinking about it. Maybe I should just go away – go far from here. Maybe I should go back home.
Oh God! But mum….
I really didn’t want to see that woman at the moment. I didn’t want to see her or stay close to her, at least, until all these is settled. Because, considering what she’s done to me, I can’t believe I’d been referring to someone like that as ‘mum’ for eighteen years.
There was a knock on the door and it snapped me out ofky thoughts. Oh! Who could it be again?
I left the bed and sauntered towards the door to open and….Oh! It was….Andrea?
Huh? What’s she doing here?
She seemed to had changed her dress and was putting on soemthing short and exposive. I looked at her in surprise as I held the door open.
“Um….good evening,Miss. Can I help you with something?” I asked curiously and she suddenly smiled.
“There isn’t a problem, dear. Just feel bored and needed someone to talk to”. She replied and I mouthed an oh.
Does that mean I should let her in?
“Y…You can come in, then” I cleared my throat and tried moving away from the door.
“No, no, no. Don’t worry about that, dear. I don’t have plans of coming in” she smiled and I turned to look at her.
So, does she want to keep standing here all day or what?
“Mabel told me…. you’re having some issues with your family” she said, but I couldn’t tell if thar was a question or just a statement.
I just kept quiet and stared at her.
“And the prince’s home is the first place that could come to your mind, right?” She asked again and I furrowed my brows in surprise.
Huh? What’s she talking about?
“Don’t you have friends? Any female friends? Why the prince?”
“Sorry miss, but I don’t….get you” I chipped in.
“Of course you won’t” she scoffed and rolled her eyes.
“I hope you don’t get me wrong dear, but I’m just trying to look out for you. Spending time with a boy doesn’t really speak well for you, you know? It…. makes you look cheap and anything could happen”.
“I’ve only been here for two days and nothing’s happened” I said. “there’s nothing going on between the prince and I. He just….offered to help me”
“It doesn’t matter, darling. The point is, you shouldn’t really be here in the first place. It’s dangerous for a lady like you. If Nathan was someone dangerous, he’d have hurt you, you know. I’m just trying to look out for you” she gave a sarcastic smile.
I was about saying something when the presence of a maid interrupted us.
“Good evening ma’am” she bowed. “sorry to interrupt, but there’s a woman here to see you. She said her name is Maya” .
Maya? That’s Bitna’s mum!!
Or…. should I say mum??
I glanced at Andrea.
“Okay then. I’ll go see her” I replied and stepped away from the door so I could close it.
“I hope you can excuse me now, Miss” I turned to Andrea and said before walking out with the maid.
G©sh!
I followed the maid out of the house and met Ma’am Maya by the gate. Oh my! She was really there.
I found myself running towards her when I get close.
“Danica” she beamed and opened her arms wide for me, collecting me in the embrace.
“Good evening, ma’am” I beamed, hugging her tight.
Oh! I just couldn’t tell why the hell I felt so relieved doing it.
“Oh! Dear, how’re you doing?” She stroke my hair.
“I think I’m fine. And you?”
“I’m okay.
“I was um…on my way home from work when I decided to stop by and check up on you. Are you sure you’re doing okay here?” She asked as we disengaged from the hug.
“Of course, ma’am. Of course, I’m fine. Thanks for checking up on me”.
“Oh! Please, it’s nothing. Guess what? The doctor called and the test results would be out by tomorrow dear” she said happily but somehow, I couldn’t really be excited.
The results would be out?
Urgh! Should I really be happy or not?
“T…That sounds great, ma’am. At least….we can get to clear all these confusion”.I sighed and she patted my shoulders.
“Um…. ma’am” she called after a pause.
“Can I….ask for a favor, please?”
“Of course dear. What is it?” She asked with concern.
I paused and bit my lip.
“Could I…. possibly go home with you? Just for tonight? I….I don’t want to stay here anymore”. I stuttered.
But her eyes beamed.
“That had been my suggestion from the onset, Danica. Of course, you can come with me. I’ll be very happy” she enthused.
“Okay ma’am. I’ll just….get my things” .
“Okay. I’ll be waiting” she smiled and I turned around and left.
Oh God! I’m doing the right thing, right?
Well, of course. I couldn’t think of being close to the prince at that moment. And not to mention his childhood friend. Maybe I should just go and give them some space.
I walked back to the house and the first person I saw was the prince. Thank goodness! He was the one I needed to see at the moment because I had nothing else to do. He was the only reason I was there.
“My prince” I paused and bowed. “I was actually looking for you. I need to tell you something important, my prince”.
He was silent and didn’t make a move.
O…Kay.
“Mrs Maya is here” I continued anyway. “She came over to see me. And… I’ll be leaving with her, my prince. I…I want to spend the night in her place”.
“Why?” He suddenly asked.
Ugh.
“No reason in particular, my prince. I just want to spend some time with her. Please, I hope you can permit me. I really appreciate the help so far” I bowed again and turned around to leave.
“Danica” he suddenly called and I froze.
Goodness! What again?
Slowly, I turned to look at him, fighting so hard to hide my emotions.
“I’m sorry” he said in a deep breath and I felt my heart flutter.
Sorry? For what exactly? For what had happened a while ago?
I let out a light smile and bowed again, then proceeded out of the house.
And as I did, I felt a pain in my chest. I couldn’t tell what it was, but it was there.
I got out of the house and met Mrs Maya still waiting for me by the gate.
“You’re ready?” She asked and I nodded with a sigh.
She held my hand and led me out of the gate, out to where her car was parked.

Mabel
I was with my mom in the car as we both waited for the “guy” to show up.
“What’s taking him so long,mum?” I asked, sounding really tired already.
“He’ll be here soon, Mabel. Just exercise some patience” she replied and I rolled my eyes.
Well, since it had to do with father’s health, I think I’m ready to wait.
Few more minutes, I saw a guy walking towards us.
“Is he the one?” I turned to mum and asked immediately and she nods.
Ah! At last.
Mum opened the door and stepped out and I did same as well. We stood outside the car and awaited the guy to get close. Why was he walking like a snail?
“Good evening, my Queen. I apologise for the delay” he bowed.
“It’s okay, Scott. What do you have for me?” Mother asked enthusiastically and he handed a picture to her.
Wait …..
What??
“There the lady you’re looking for” he said.
“Her name is Danica. And right now, she’s with your son”.
