as she planned. She read till morning
and got dressed to leave for class. She
waited at the Princess’ room as usual,
hoping for her and her friends to come
out then they all should go for that day’s
lecture.
Princess and her friends came out at
last. They stared at her angrily on seeing
her. “Can we help you?” Rachael quickly
asked.
Darasimi laughed. “You see you these
ladies are always funny. Let’s go to the
lecture room jare, time is going.’ She
replied.
‘It seems you think we’re playing with
you right? Will you leave this place at
once!’ Princess shouted.
‘It seems these ladies are taking this
matter serious.’ She thought in herself
and left.
‘Idiot. She’s always looking for a ride!’
Bibi laughed.
‘Yes oo, imagine that yesterday we didn’t
take our cars along with us, she wasn’t
that fine. Husband snatcher!’ Princess
uttered and they all laughed.
***
The King’s illness started. He was
shivering and was always in the room
throughout. Daniel and Ruth were
informed by the princess in the school to
come and see. As the illness was going,
it seemed it would turn to death for the
King. Daniel arrived and got his things
from the car booth. He rushed into the
King’s room to see.
There were many chieves in the room
with the King that particular time. Daniel
rushed to the King’s side and sat.
‘Father, what really is wrong. Talk to me.’
He was sad and was crying.
‘Son, I’ll be fine.’ He replied.
Ruth entered too with full force. She
climbed the bed from the other side.
‘Dad, talk to me, is anything the issue?’
She asked shaking the King’s cloth.
‘No, take it easy!’ Chief Tunde said.
‘Hasn’t he been taking to the hospital?’
Daniel asked the Queen.
‘The Doctor said nothing is wrong with
him medically.’ Queen replied, also sad.
King smiled at Daniel. Daniel stood up at
once and went out of the room to search
for his mouth organ. He brought in and
started playing “it is well” on it. He was
playing it loudly for minutes there.
‘Will you stop this noise!’ Queen shouted.
Daniel continued and didn’t behave as if
he heard all what she said. Suddenly, as
if it was a miracle, the King started
moving his hands and could sit down. It
was just like a miracle to them all.
‘Is this a miracle or what?’ Daniel himself
thought.
Ruth for minutes stood and stared at
Daniel. Everyone including the Queen
wondered on what just happened.
‘Wait, how are you my King?’ Chief
Kolade asked.
‘I don’t know. I’m now… I’m okay.’ The
king said wonderfully.
‘Wait oo.. What is inside that thing you
just brought in?’ Chief Collins watched
him and the mouth organ closely.
