Daniel was taking the refreshments when Ruth thought of what she could bring up as a topic. She smiled and face him.
“Just tell me three people that mean so much to you.” She continued smiling, expecting him to mention her name.
“Those are my mother, sister and …” He
paused.
Ruth smiled, “me abi?” She asked in her
mind.
DARASIMI. He concluded.
‘Ruth changed her face but pretended as
if she was pleased with what she said. “I
don’t know this kind of meeting mum
was called for. I’m pissed.” She uttered.
“You are pissed? Simply because I didn’t
mention your name right.” He laughed.
‘Huh? What, iu wasn’t expecting my name
before. Why do you think like this!’ She
frowned and hissed.
‘I just keep on wondering why God has
put me in the palace.’ He smiled.
‘That will be because of me. You saved
my life, have you forgotten?’ She smiled.
NO, NOT YOU. He said sharply.
“Anyhow!” She concluded.
…
The school resumed back to work, now in
200 level. Everyone was quite more
serious with their various studies.
Dammy the play boy also turned a new
leave and started attending classes better
than before.
Darasimi was just coming back from the
class when she saw Ruth and her friends
who stood by the way. She halted to at
least say “HI” to them. She greeted and
was about leaving, although the princess
and her friends didn’t reply when Stella
drew her back through the collar of the
shirt she was putting on.
“Excuse me.” She frowned as she got to
their front.
‘Why do you keep stepping beyond your
bounds!’ Stella shouted and slapped her.
WHAT! Darasimi exclaimed.
‘You just like snatching what doesn’t
belong to you and can never be. Release
Daniel now!’ Rachael stared at her with
an annoying face.
She kept her left hand on her left cheek
where Steela slapped her and continued
staring at them as they addressed her.
‘I don’t have much to say, you’ve heard
them!’ Beatrice said and gave a wicked
laughter.
Princess Ruth drew her closer to herself.
“You are a child of nobody, even if you
are killed now, nobody is going to know
that. Step aside, you will be hurt if you
don’t!” She uttered gently.
They turned back and was about leaving,
when Darasimi replied them.
‘Hello, I’m not a radio, neither a
television that can’t respond. I’m a lady
of pride, dignity and integrity. Which do
you have? Go and think about it!’ She
uttered.
….
Ruth stared at her for a while and just
laughed. “A normal human being will see
you and even notice the signs of insanity
in you!” She addressed.
‘I care less about all what you utter with
your mouth. Before you got to know him,
I’ve known him and we’ve been dating, so
what’s the muscle all about?’ She said.
‘The battle line has just been drawn, let’s
see who wins. You fool.’ Rachael uttered
and eyes Darasimi.
‘One thing is that its just someone with a
certain characteristic will know if another
person has. Its just because you are
fools, that’s why you can notice a foolish
behaviour in me & wait, I’m not a fool, I
reserve my comment.’ She uttered.
Ruth shook her head with anger as if she
was pitying her. “I just dey pity this chick,
I go tell my guys to whooz you.’ She
said.
Darasimi left them talking and walked
out on them. She brought out her phone
immediately she left and called Daniel
about what just happened. She hurried
back to the hostel, she met Rachel
outside the door to their room, she
walked beside her angrily and entered
into her room.
…
The Queen was refreshed after taking two
apple fruits. She ordered for her phone so
as to hear from Ruth. Ruth started all
the discussion from the alpha to the
omega. The Queen smiled and told her
not to worry, she would deal with the
case PERSONALLY.
She thought on how she could start her
investigation about the lady “Darasimi”
her daughter said to her. She sent her a
message for the full description of the
lady and everything she knows about her.
***
Daniel was at the front of the girls’
hostel when he called Ruth on phone to
come out to see him. She was delighted
and thought of something else. She came
out in a bump short and a tank top. She
wore a heavy make up and was smelling
so nice.
Daniel eyed her as she was approaching.
“Useless girl.” He said in her.
‘Hi Dan.’ She smiled and greeted.
“Don’t ‘hi’ me Ruth. Keep the hand you
are stretching for handshake too. I’ve
always known you’ll fuck up. I’ve told you
before I even set my eyes on you, I’ve
been dating Darasimi, what on earth do
you think you are doing!” He exclaimed.
‘Man! You are shouting. I’m a princess
remember.’ She paused. “I get whatever I
want, either easily or by force if it
doesn’t want to be left.” She smiled.
‘Do you now think someone like me can
be snatched? That girl you harassed
helped me through my waec fees when
my useless father neglected me because I
do rebuke him behaviors. She suffered
from her parents to make me who I am,
God blessed me through her, how can I
just let her go!’ He shouted.
‘That’s just a story. If its money you
want, I’ll give you to the extent you’ll
complain of it being too much. I’m tired
of this useless girl…”
‘And if you ever say that word “useless”
again…’
‘What will you do to me.’ Ruth said.
Temitope sighed and shook his head.
‘Till then.’ He uttered.
‘Not till then because its now. She’s a
useless fool!’
Temitope moved closer to her and gave
her a slap.
