Weeks later…
The school resumed back. Everyone got to school with new faces, looking beautiful and handsome. Ruth changed her wardrobe and brought new sets of clothes, she had a Brazilian hair plated on her. She got new wrist watches and other jewelries and accessories, she was looking changed.
…Daniel and Darasimi had already called each other to meet at a particular place so as to set out for the library. They were more determined that semester to make it more than anyone and be the best. They met at the front of a restaurant, they were happy to see each other, they’ve not met since they resumed back to school.
They got to the library and met the
Princess and her friends there studying.
“Don’t let us enter, Ruth will see us.”
Darasimi begged.
‘What the hell will she do? Call the
Queen, that’s all.’ He replied laughing.
‘I just don’t want her to see us together.’
Darasimi chorused.
‘To your greatest surprise, see what I’m
gonna do.’ He said and pulled her closer
to himself. He hung his hand across her
neck freely and pushed her to the front,
they walked into the library.
Ruth was the first to see them and
alerted her friends to look at them.
..
Ruth and her friend kept quiet and
watched them. They knew it was
deliberate of them, just to make Ruth
jealous. They all stood up and left the
library angrily. Daniel laughed silently, he
was happy he chased them out of the
library. “Shey na their type dey read?” He
uttered, laughing.
Ruth sent the Queen a text message
immediately after leaving the library,
describing what all what happened to
her, her friends advised her to add lies to
it, like “what can the Queen do for me?”
and so on.
The Queen was infuriated on seeing the
message. Although she was angry, she
didn’t want to strike then. All she wanted
is for her to end her course in the
university then find something horrible to
do to her to make her parents regret.
****
Ruth & her friends got back to the
hostel. She was looking so unhappy and
irritated. She jumped on her bed on
entering into the room with different
thoughts coming into her brain. ‘You are
thinking about those annoying goats
right?’ Bibi laughed.
“Hey! This is my husband-to-be we are
talking about oh. Abeg, chill out.” She
replied smiling.
‘Na you sabi. That guy sef funny, I know
sey them do that thing deliberately.’
Rachael laughed.
“I think I’ll follow P-square’s steps now.”
Ruth uttered.
‘P-square? In this issue we’re discussing.
Do they correspond?’ Rachael asked.
“Hmmn… I’ll deal with them..” She
laughed, expecting her friends to finish
the remaining part.
PERSONALLY! They all shouted,
laughing.
Stella pulled out of the Kitchen. “Shey
none of you is eating noodles before I
cook it now oh.” She asked.
‘Cook am for everyone na, we dey hung
here.’ Ruth replied.
“You guys no get hands abi? Me go dey
there I go dey cook noodles for you these
adults wey dey talk about a guy and
babe wey dey enjoy each other out
there.” She laughed back to the Kitchen.
‘You no well oh Stella!’ Bibi shouted, they
all laughed.
…
Darasimi and Daniel set the pace of
becoming the best and became the best,
they read and passed. They checked their
results together on the school website at
Dara’s place. The holiday started again,
everything was on smoothly. Preparation
for the next session started little-by-little.
Ruth also performed excellently and was
with her mother in the living room as
they checked the result together. The
Queen was so happy and told her to
demand anything she wished she should
do for her. Ruth smiled and told her she
would tell her that later.
….
Daniel was walking around the house
while he dropped his pause at the
computer room in the house. Ruth went
inside the computer room to check if
there were anything new on the computer
when she left the house. She met his
pause and opened it to search.
She saw Tony’s passport photograph.
She remembered she had seen a similar
picture in the King’s room. She picked it
and hurried to the Queen’s room, she
wasn’t there. She had gone for meetings
between the women leaders of the
villages in the Kingdom.
She kept the passport so that she would
ask the Queen when she comes about
who the person was. She was in her room
as she logged into her account on
facebook and read different jokes and
stories. She was jobless as she just
finished watching the first season of
“CITY HUNTER.” She was waiting for the
second season to be out. There was
nothing much to watch at home, she was
tired of browsing and slept off in her
room.
The Queen arrived shortly after she slept.
She didn’t sleep for so long also as she
woke up, she thought of what to do and
logged into “a1000laugh.com” she started
reading a story. She didn’t know the
Queen had arrived, she heard her voice
faintly from her room and rushed out to
quickly go and inquire about who was in
the passport. She got into the Queen’s
room and greeted her, she didn’t delay
the issue before showing her the
passport.
‘Who’s this mum?’ She asked.
The Queen was really surprised. Her heart
beat kept skipping, she stared at it and
started shivering. “Where did you get
this?” She asked with curiosity.
‘Mum, why who’s there?’ She asked
again.
‘Aaarrh… She stammered Tony out.
