chapter two

I waited, tensed because I had been waiting for so long, if not that my waiting was illegal I would have approached him and talked him how furious I am, finally it seems the Prince is anticipating an arrival I was keen on whom, you will think I am the one waiting for a visitor. A woman is standing with the Prince! "when!, I mean how did she get there, did she teleport or what?" I was disturbed, was I Lost in thought not to have noticed how she came? She's such a Beauty and to think they are not meant to be together! I was so disturbed in my thoughts, feeling the euphorical atmosphere, when I came back to my self none of them I mean both the Prince, the woman is in sight, they've departed, I rushed out of my hiding to look for the Prince." I must see to the end, Prince where are you" I didn't know I was screaming, panting at the same time but the fact that I want to know about everything makes me not to be tired, as I was searching I felt a touch and turning to see what it's that touched me on my leg it was a snake."help me please! Snake!!" I started running just to anywhere my legs leads me without looking back if the snake is still following me.

I saw th.... the Prince he must have seen me running he stopped and looked at me, scared "ho...ho.w did yo...u get here do you want to die! ?" he stammered that was when I believed that only the royalties are allowed to the river "I cannot die! now I know the reason why you don't allow anyone to follow you as far as to the river, anyways she's beautiful!" I don't know where the courage came from to address him the way I did. " Did you see everything ? I mean you saw that lady?" I nodded in affirmation, he knelt down before me and started begging that I shouldn't let anyone know about it, I was now like a royal being begged. " I will keep the secret on one condition, that you will tell me, everything about your relationship with her, who she is, and why did you love her that much and you dare not betray me if not everyone will hear about it " he begged me and we became friends after that day "how did you meet her?" I asked without hesitation " guys let's go home oops! Drop your weapons he's my friend, a trusted one at that, am I right? " I have no choice but to play along. " yes we are, or should I tell them how we met at the river?". " N...o... Never you mind telling them, guys let's go " we departed and went to our different destinations, my mind was overing on the whole thing but can't get a better clue about it till it's time to sleep.We met at different times after that day, he told me a lot of things about his relationship.

"Deep down, some of his (the Prince) siblings and parents are not in support of his relationship with a stranger. The evening weather was cool, cozy and frenzy outside that it can make one sleep for a long time even with that I was sitting outside under a tree thinking when I saw a shadow drawing near, " who's it ?" The statue I am seeing is covered, for the umpteenth time I was scared "don't run away it's your friend, yes! It's me " uncovering his face I can see that handsome face again this time in my own apartment, I grinned from Side to side then brazed up myself, " how did you meet her " I asked with no hesitation not even offering him anything" it happened started with a night of celebration in our community where everyone was present known and unknown, dignitaries, young and old, beautiful and ugly, the festival was a good sight to watch (singing, instrumentation, chatting, filled everywhere) then I spotted a beautiful lady sitting alone, meanwhile some ladies where hovering around our (my family) table seeking for attention but this lady wasn't like others. She was innocent one will think she can't hurt a fly, where are you from, 'i am from this community a daughter of a local merchant my father is a petty farmer ' she was polite with her answers, I had no choice but to have pity on her I just saw myself liking her, I was fond of her " I was enjoying his ordeals when he suddenly got up, he is been looked after, I was sort of disappointed I don't get to hear it to the end.
