Daniel was sitting at the garden calling Darasimi on his cell phone. Ruth was behind him throughout the making of the call. She hid herself so that she would not be seen by Daniel. She still wondered till
she walked swiftly back to her room
upstairs. She slept on the bed, taking all
the space. She was somehow depressed
and unhappy. Few minutes later, The
Queen knocked on the door softly. She
came to check on Ruth because she had
been in her room since, it was Daniel’s
voice she heard that made her trace him
to the garden. She changed her posture
and look immediately she heard the
knock on the door.
‘Who’s there?’ She asked, clearing her
throat and started at the door. The queen
opened the door and came right inside.
She wasn’t expecting her, it was a kind of
surprise seeing her just come into her
room to check on her. MOM! She smiled
and stood up from the mattress, walked
towards her to give her a hug.
‘May I know what’s wrong with my
beautiful and adorable daughter. The
Princess of thisbgreat Kingdom, daughter
of a great and mighty King?’ She smiled.
Princess Ruth smiled back and uttered
“NOTHING”.
“You can’t tell me nothing, dear. I know
you, you know me too quite well.” She
paused and walked to her mattress and
sat down. She continued. ‘I can see it
written all over you that something is
wrong. It is written all over your face.’
“You’ve caught me mum.” She smiled
and walked to the Queen.
The queen laughed out and cuddled her
to her side. “Now, tell me what’s wrong
with you.”
The princess stared at the Queen. “I don’t
know what to really say mum.”
‘You just have to start with something
and from somewhere. Is it the issue of a
guy?’ She smiled and winked.
The princess laughed.
