The Girl He Never Noticed π§‘
I had no courage to look into his eyes as our hands brush into each other, my soul acted weirdβ¦
βPardonβ he said in a well mannered way. Like I understood, I withdraw my hands, he took the mat and passed it to princess Amarachi.
I bowed with respect, holding another mat with both hands⦠Amarachi is also well mannered.
You wonβt know she is a princess until you are being told.
βwhy are you putting in this masquerade stuff ?β, she asked, her pretty eyes was on the mat.
βmy princess it is a mere mask.. I do not mean anyβ¦β¦
the prince looked at the mask, I started stammering.
Soon he looked away and muttered something.
βwe need to get out of here! he said.
The guards paid for the mat, they left without collecting change.
I felt so happyβ¦
Luck finally decide to shine on me againβ¦chineke(god) thank you.
I solicit and removed onomeβs money, I kept the change separately in my breast wrapper.
I waited patiently, hoping another buyer will come, my eyes search around and I spotted Princess Akuna-the proud peacock coming with her crews.
She is a princess from the next kingdom, she usually come to our village market pretending to buy things but the truth is that she came to show off so that other maidens can praise her.
Every one in the village have one thing or the other to say about her, she makes life miserable for the poorβs in fact she moves with her types.The day she mistakenly touch a girl,she washed her hand instantly.
I watch keenly as she catwalk with her servants.Finally she stopped on front of a cloth seller and posed arrogantly.
βwhere can I find ogechi, the cloth trader.I heard she resides in this kingdomβ she said.
βmy princess either ogechi or not,I have all types of trending attire and breast holder that would make your breast firmβ the trader which happens to be old Nana said.
Akuna rolled her eyeballs rudely at the old woman..
βhow poorβ¦.this type of wrapper am looking for,you cannot have it cos it is beautifully adorn with beadsβ
She boasted.
I remembered she is looking for the cloth I worn to her birthday party.
Waoow,so she is this jealous..
βis it this one? old Nana asked as she brought out something similar to the days wrapper.
βI said it,old people always have problems with brainsβ Akuna said.
βno wonder all your children died.You must have killed them with talkβAdanna fired.Sheβs Akunaβs pupet.
βogechi the cloth trader,that is definitely Ngozi step motherβ sgs said,the walked away.
Thank goodness they didnβt passed when the prince was here.
βshould we price matβ Adana whispered.They approavhed me.
hope they wonβt pick on me?
I already make promises not to make friends with trouble and fight.
The princess pointed to a mat.
I bite the inside of my cheeks as I look down.
βremove that masquerade thing, it is scaring meβ akuna said.
βher face is irritating, let her wear itβ Adana teased.
βthat mat, how much does it cost? Akuna pointed to one.
I bent to pick it, I saw something glittering on the mat, it was diamond in form of a ring, it must fallen from either the prince or Amarachi.
βwhatβs that, let me have itβ
Akuna said with so much authority.
I stretched the mat she pointed.
βno the ringβ she said, smartly.
βwhich ring??
βI saw it, no need draggingβ she said.
Another buyer came, I already know akuna is here for trouble.
I faced the new buyer with enthusiasm.
βAre you here are all?β, akuna asked.
βIβm sure am not at homeβ I replied.
She got angry and left with her servants.
Two more buyers came, I felt so happy as I sold until am left with just two mats. I decided to go home in the evening when no buyer was coming.
And I promised to make ngoziβs hair this evening.. how am I suppose to divide myself..
The prince ring, how am I suppose to return it, I better keep it well. I tied it on my breast wrapper and comport myself before entering the compound.
I didnβt even see olamma outsideβ¦ who knows, she must have gone to meet her boyfriend.
βis this all what you sold?β,
she asked as she counted the moneyβ¦
βhmm I donβt trust youβ¦your mother was a thief. Who knows if you have taken after herβ onome said, I still kept quiet, hoping she would give me food. Heaven knows I didnβt dare her.
She moved closer to me and started pressing my body to check if I hide any money, she found the change I kept. Her expression changed as she brought it out, she continue searching, at some point, I started asking myself if sheβs a witch.
Luckily for me, she did not even find the ring.
βwhose money is this hun Adeife?β, she asked, calmly.
βNo no it is notβ¦.β I starmmered, she watched me and didnβt beat me.
this is very unusual, Onome is not a nice person at all..
βexplainβ she said.
I explained the truth, she stared.
βwhich prince did you meet?β, she asked. I kept quiet.
βand he didnβt run for your uglinessβ she asked.
βI used masquerade coverageβ I said.
She nodded and pack the change.
βyour food is in the kitchenβ she said, politely.
βthank you mamaβ I replied happily and rush to the kitchen.
ohhh this hunger, I pray it wonβt kill me someday.
I hastily uncover the calabashβ¦
Waoow..I licked my lips.
Pounded yam and an extremely spiced Egusi soup, the meat caught my fansy. I cleaned my hands on my clothβ¦
Hmmmmm, I will eat meat today againβ¦.
My longer throat wonβt allow me rest, I finished everything and drank water fully..I felt do happy.
Onome has changed
Onome gave me food
Onome spoke to me nicely β¦
I love my new life.
𧑠JIDENNA’S POV π§‘
I entered the throne room, it was empty. Father was not in and in and the crown was there laying on the empty seat.
I canβt just find finally wait for the day the throne would fit into my head.
I left there and entered the hallway, two maids ran into each other.
βwhere is the other twin prince?β,
the first maid asked.
βdid you see prince Lotanna?β, the other maid asked.
They look so confused.
One of the maid turned back and saw meβ¦
isnβt that prince Lotanna?β, she asked the other maid..
She looked so confused. They part ways when they heard steady footsteps, I turned it was the queen.
She looks so worried as she hasten her footstep to catch up with me.
βJidenna, have you seen Lotanna?β, she asked.
βLotanna is not a kid, why treating him like a kid?β I asked. It is obvious she likes him more than me.
βthey are back,Amarachi is with themβ a maid reported.
She heaved a breath of relief the moment she sights him coming in with guards.
She rushed to him and started touching his forehead to see if he has temperature.
βcall the nurse! mom said as she felt his purse.Next she faced ikechukwu.
βwhy did you allow him walk much?β, she askedβ¦
βIβm sorry, LOLO (queen)β he bowed.
βDid you give him anything to eat?β, she askedβ¦
Lotanna wasnβt saying anything,he only stared at the queen(our mother) as she touched him.
βno yesβ¦.just a guava! ikechukwu starnmered.
βchimoooooo,Lotanna doesnβt eat such thingsβ the queen exclaimed.
I scoffedβ¦
why so dramatic? Just for Lotanna.
I saw through his fingers,he was wearing two diamond rings earlier, why is only one left.
βI will just look out for the nurse!
I said and left.
Night was almost approaching,I decided to check on Lotanna.I opened his door as I moved in fully into his slivery built living room,none was there.
Just his pads, ten scattered phone and two neat laptop with a flash.
I entered deep into his room,there I met him sleeping his head was in mothers laps,he looks so much like a baby with his pouted lipsβ¦.
Though the room was dimmed but the golden egdes of the,bed lit the roomβ¦
She is the queen of the moonlight-
I overheard mother saying as she pat his shoulders..her other finger ran through his pretty face.
I think she is telling a story.
I left.
𧑠ADEIFE’S POV π§‘
Onome has never spoken to me nicely like she did today. I got surprised she bought me a new dress wrapperβ¦ I didnβt even do any work. This happiness, I hope it lasts.
Soon she went out, I also decided to use that opportunity to see Ngozi.
I met with her at our usual spot⦠my happiness made me jump on her.
βummm I donβt think she is changed. You need to be very carefulβ she advised.
I smiled and started making her hair.
βNgozi I met the princeβ I said.
βwaooow which of them, is he nice?β, she asked..
βI donβt even know their names not to talk of recognizing themβ I said.
She smiled and got so interested.
βHe is sooo cute, his eyes has a spark of silver, his lip is well pouted.. gosh he loves diamond too much. To crown it all, our hands touchβ¦ He spoke to me!! Ngozi am the first girl he spoke to aside from his sister, Amarachiβ¦ I felt his touchββ¦
I clapped as I said.
βAdeife are you sure youβre not inβ¦β
βno, I canβt be in love with someone like him even though he is nicely manneredβ¦ Iβm not his type cos am ugly, I donβt have family too!
I wanted to cry. Ngozi smiled and hugged me.
βSing for me, itβs been long I heard your voiceβ she said..
I didnβt want to do it.
βOnomeβ I got scared as I said.
βI thought you said she is now nice.. she wonβt talk if she is changed! Ngozi saidβ¦ Itβs been long she has been begging me to do that.
βFine, I would do it for youβ I said and opened my mouth to sing..
No voice was coming out.
βIfe sing, Adeife singβ Ngozi said.
I opened my mouth to sing again, no voice was coming out..
βIfe whatβs happening, sing..Ife singβ Ngozi beckoned.
I tried again, nothing was coming out.
βIβm sorry, your Ife canβt sing again.. I think have lost my voiceβ I said, solemnly.
Ngozi became frightenedβ¦ She held me tightly with so much emotions and careβ¦.
βIfe what did you eat??
βIfe sing, Ife sing! she said..
