The princess was eventually alright, Daniel was with her althrough, she woke up and saw Daniel by her side. She began her thoughts as usual. "Maybe he loves me, or he wants me to know that he cares for me a lot."


'So how are you my Princess?'


'I'm alright, I'm sorry I frightened you. This will be your first time of seeing me this wasy right?' She smiled.



'Yes, I was so much surprised.' He replied.


'How pathetic, I wish God never created me.' She commented.



Daniel rushed into her comment."No! Never think of that again, if you mostly visit pages on facebook, you'll see that what's happening to you is just a little. Different people are out there, many dead, many begging for money, many in prison suffering for what they've not done. Its not your power but the grace of God.' He replied softly.



'Then if God wanted to create me like you, he would have created me like you. He did this deliberately, why me, why not another person.' She said sadly.


The Queen and the King were already outside the door, eavesdropping.


'Nooo! I still say no! So if it wasn't you, who could have gotten it? God is great in his power, he does thing you'll think he has done you bad. Like now, let's talk about this asthmatic patient. She was asthmatic, she didn't know God, she engages in all kinds of bad things, she had been crying to God for a good husband but she didn't get. There was a day she had an attack, she was rushed to a different hospital from where she was usually rushed to, it was there she met her husband. Can you now see, assuming she wasn't asthmatic, she may have found someone who isn't the will of God for her life and mayn't meet the right man. God has planned our lifes, he knows what we'll pass through before attaining our joy.' He said, looking sad too.



'This boy's words are powerful' the king said softly to the Queen.


'I'm touched, sincerely.' The queen replied.


'God! God! God! All is God right? Why hasn't he designed my life to the right path and let me meet the right person, if that's his will.' Ruth said to him.



'All isn't God, satan too can be blamed on this. Although, if God doesn't allow satan to do things, it won't come to pass. The satan I'm talking about isn't the satan of the bible, that satan maybe included but not the ultimate one. The King or Queen, as the leader and paramount rulers of this Kingdom, many will hate them, for some reasons, for no reason. Many might have done this to you, but God will also allow it to bring some promises to pass.' He added.



'Which is the satan of the bible, what's the bible all about? She asked.


'You don't go to church? Do you have a bible?' He inquired.



'We don't go to church here, I don't even think there is a bible in this house.' She replied.


'You don't go to church?' He asked surprisingly. "I wish you all can start going." He said.



The door was opened suddenly, Daniel and Ruth were afraid, it was the King and the Queen that entered, both looking good and smiling.



'And we all will start going to church as from this Sunday.' The king uttered as he was entering.


'Huh?' Princess was surprised.



'Dad, mum, so you've been out there?' Ruth asked.



'Sure.' Queen answered.


'I've been touched by all what Daniel was saying, I'm impressed. Now, you won't only be playing me mouth organ, you'll start preaching to me too.' The King uttered.



Daniel laughed, he was so much surprised. "Aaah! Dad, that will be tough, please Dad.' He begged.



'So where are the guards? You both aren't with any of them. Its unlike you.' Princess uttered.


'I sent them away, so we can listen to you both well.' Queen smiled.



'Now, Daniel. You'll just go out now, I'll give you money, you'll go buy each person a quality bible out there. The driver will take you there.' King smiled to him.



Daniel prostrated happily. "Thank you sir." He laughed.


He rushed out as he was told, to get the bibles.

Not quite long after then, Bola and Tofunmi left Tomisin's place. Tomisin promised them she would get back to them to tell them the day the judgment will commence. Bola and Tofunmi parted at the junction, they were going to different places. Tofunmi went home while Bola waited at the junction to call Temitope.



She had thought if she should ask him of the address to his house, he would describe it to her. Temitope was surprised when he heard that he should describe his estate and home. He gave her a full description of the house and estate, Bola hurried home.



"What I'm putting on isn't tight enough for a guy to know I'm present." She thought it her.


....


It was Temitope and Tonia that were at home. Since Tonia heard about Raymond, she had been thinking on how he would get Temitope back to herself. She just got a place where she could start her I.T. It was the hospital where Temitope and Tomisin were admitted in she headed to for her to be trained.



Tonia alone was in the living room when Bola knocked at the door faintly. She stood up immediately to get the door. "Hello, who's it?" She asked peeping at the door hole.



Bola, with a surprised look on her, she was shocked there was a lady at home with Temitope. "Its me Bola, I want to see Tem...itope" she said, shuttering a little.


"Alright, let me get him." Tonia also wondered what a lady had come to do with Temitope at home. "Do I scold her and send her away?" She thought and stepped behind the bar. She picked the intercom and called Temitope's room.


"You have a visitor." She said and hanged up immediately.


Temitope walked down the stairs, he viewed Tonia from the stairs. Both looked at each other, Tonia pointed at the door. "She's out there." She said.


SHE? Temitope wondered who was that.



He got the door and let her in. He had forgotten that she told him she would come. She hugged Temitope immediately he opened the door for her. Tonia was shocked and annoyed, Temitope also wondered what was wrong, he didn't want to abuse her or do anything.



Tonia was looking at them, Temitope turned his head to look if Tonia was watching, she then quickly faced the novel she was reading. She was reading Tomisin's novel, she had been engaged with it since morning. Temitope smiled on seeing her reaction.


"Its alright." He commented and took off her hands.


'I'm here to greet you.'Bola uttered smiling.


'Then you are welcome.' Temitope replied.


'Don't you know that its wrong to keep a gentle lady standing?' Bola winked.


"I just hope this girl is not running insane with this winking of a thing." He thought.


'Ooh! That, come and have your sit here.' He pointed.


Tonia stood up immediately and went behind the bar, she called her room and left the phone on the bar, she hurried into her room, so she could be hearing whatever they discuss. She entered into her room and picked up the intercom phone, she was hearing all what they were saying, it was vivid. She smiled at herself. "How smart I am, no one can take him away from me, not even you BOLA or what did she call herself." She laughed faintly.


'I'm sorry for all that happened, Tomisin explained it all to me. That's why I've thought of coming to see you here.' She said, looking sad.


'Thanks, but why didn't you ask her the address to this place?' He asked.



'I forgot, she gave me your phone number and I couldn't just go back for it.'



'Oooh! Sorry.' Temitope's mind wasn't clear to her also. "What is this she is putting on also? OMG! She is aarrgghh..." He was complaining in him.


'So how far about the case on ground?' She asked smiling to Temitope.


'About those guys?'


Bola nodded in response to the question he asked.


'They will be visiting the court also, not so long from today.' He uttered.



'That's good, they should be.


Bola continued asking questions and gisting Temitope till she left. She had thought Temitope might drop her off at least the junction or at most home. Temitope only waved to her from the door, he went back upstairs.



Bola was just talking to herself as she was heading home. She was just laughing, making herself happy with her thoughts.


"I'm sure by the time I'm through with Temitope, he won't have any choice than to start going out with me, I have his cell phone number now, I know his house, I'm knowing him better. Can't stop imagining that his teeth! Oh my God, I wish they were mine. Ooops! I've forgotten to tell him he should tell Tomisin I came! Wdf! She sha can't kill me if she eventually knows." She was thinking home.




.....


Temitope got back to his room, picked up his phone and called Tomisin. He explained all what happened to her, Tomisin was surprised. She asked if it was the cloth she wore to her house was the cloth she wore to his house and described it. She was vexed, on hearing that she came with another cloth, and with the description Temitope made, Tomisin concluded that was the best of her clothes.




Seun arrived back home after the call she made with Temitope. He smiled at Tonia, as if there was a good news.


"They will be visiting the court, next week monday dear!" Seun laughed out.


Tomisin didn't talk, she was wondering. "Dad, I don't want them to be jailed. Let's leave them." She uttered.


Seun was annoyed with what Tomisin just said. "Are you out of your mind? Have you short memory to have forgotten what those beasts did to you?" He exclaimed.



'Dad, its not easy to forget just like that but the bible says we should forgive and forget. Whenever whe quote our lord's prayer, we de even say it. So I don't wish they should face the law squarely.' Tomisin added, looking so sad.



Seun hissed and was on his way to the room when they heard a knock.



'Who's there.' Tomisin said and moved closer to the door.


FLORENCE.....



"Florence." Tomisin wondered. Seun was standing few distance from there, Tomisin look at the back to see his father, with the look of "should I open it" on her face. She eventually opened it and stared at her.


"Florence with a gun a knife a sword to eliminate."

Daniel ushered Ruth to the balcony. They both sat together, he taught her all what she requested for. This time, the queen had been searching for Ruth.


"Ruth." She heard from some distance.


'That's mum calling you my princess. You have to hurry.' Daniel uttered.


'Yeah, I can hear also.' She stood up and left the balcony immediately.


Daniel had a soft breath and rested his back.


....


"Where have you been? I've been searching for you." Queen uttered.


'I've been upstairs with Dan. She uttered.


'DANIEL? Both of you all alone?' She wondered.



'You are surprised? Yes we've been together. He has been teaching me Math.' She smiled.


'Alright, just checked your room and didn't see you, the driver also said you've been at home, that's why I've been searching for you.' She smiled back.


'Alright mum.' She replied.


'And call me Daniel, the king wants to see him.' The queen added.


'Oooh! See him? What for? We are busy now!' She complained.



'He needs mouth organ. He said he is bored.' The queen smiled.



'Alright, but its not fair mum.' She said as she was going.



....



She entered into the balcony back, she met Daniel playing a football game on his phone. She smiled and had her sit beside him back. Daniel continued playing the game without raising his head to know who entered.


'Doesn't he know that I'm here?' Ruth thought in herself.



'I'm here!' She exclaimed.



Daniel raised his head and paused the game. He looked at her and smiled. "I've forgotten someone entered." He continued smiling.



Ruth's phone started ringing, she stood up and stepped to a corner to pick up the call. It was her guy that was calling her.


'Then why are you calling me!' She shouted on phone.


Daniel that had continued playing his game paused the game and raised his head up on hearing the noise.



'Are you sick, you know I have my standards! I've told you I don't like it when you call me by that name.' She uttered angrily.


'What sorry are you saying! You must be really crazy!' She said and hanged the call. She was already looking angry.


"I'm sorry, I don't think I will be able to continue with the mathematics. This fool has spoilt my mood.' She said and walked out of the balcony.


"What is the meaning of all this?" Daniel thought and continued with his game.


....


The noise of someone falling from the staircase was heard by Daniel immediately Ruth left the balcony. She already had her asthmatic attack on her way to her room, she slipped on the stair case and fell.


Daniel rushed out and hurried to meet her on seeing her. He rushed to her room to get the inhaler, it didn't look as if she was with it. This time, the maidens were already around, they've surrounded her, one of them was running to Ruth's room when she ran into Daniel and both fell.


Daniel stood immediately and hurried to where she was, he pushed all the maidens around and shivered to the princess to apply the inhaler on her.


The King was already coming this time, he rushed there and started shouting at the maidens for not guarding his daughter properly. He was totally angry, he watched Daniel as he was trying to help her out of the problem.



Sooner, he carried her to her room and was beside her.

Tonia was in the living room, shocked to hear that Raymond had been arrested. She never behaved as if she knew who Temitope was talking about when he was explaining the whole situation to his parents. Tolulope was so much surprised when he heard all what Look and Ray did to Tomisin. He felt bad.



Olajumoke walked into her room immediately she heard this. She was somehow happy. "The girl that has been raped now, I'm sure Tolulope won't like her again, in fact Temitope won't want her. Tonia on point.' She was smiling happily, took her phone and dialed Timileyin's phone number.



"Hello friend, it has happened.' She smiled.


'Hello, what happened, Temitope and Tonia?' She asked smiling also.



'Let me land first. Its about the issue of Seun's daughter- Tomisin. She has been raped!' She uttered smiling.



'What! That's a bad news, a good news again. Two in one message!' She laughed out.



'Abi o, I'm sure that Temitope will love Tonia now, its not even that he doesn't love her, just pretending.' She laughed also.



'That's good, so how are they?' She inquired


'They are fine, both in the living room.' She replied.



'My regards to them.' She smiled.



'Alright, greet YK for me too.' She uttered.



'Yeah, and Tolulope also.' She replied.


Both laughed.




******


Tomisin and Seun were in the living room discussing. Tomisin was lying sadly on the couch when Oluwaseun arrived there and cuddled her up.


'I won't accept this from you, why do you have to be like this? You don't need this at all. You should be at least happy you're anive today.' Seun uttered, frowning his face.



'Dad, why are you thinking this way. There are challenges before me now. I'm sure as this case is going on, it will soon get to the press.' She uttered.



'Press? How?' He asked.



'How won't it, Raymond's mother is into politics as you know. The other guy, you told me yourself that he's a notorious criminal that government has been searching for lately. So how won't it?' She asked weeping.



'It won't, I've told the D.P.O. that I don't want a situation your name will be mentioned in the newspaper.' He uttered.



'And you think that's possible dad?' She asked.


'I assure you.' Seun smiled.



The intercom phone started ringing. Seun got up to pick it up, the gate keeper called to inform them about Bola and Tofunmi at the gate. Seun was surprised, he exhaled and told the man to let them in. He had noticed they would be Tomisin's friends.



Soon, Bola and Tofunmi knocked on the door. Tomisin stood up to get the door, she smiled lightly on seeing them. She ushered them in, they both greeted Seun. He smiled at them and greeted back, he walked inside after their greetings.


'¥ou've offended me, why did you just call, since!' Bola uttered frowning her face.


'Could I just call like that, as if it was a thing of joy to talk about.' Tomisin replied.



Seun came out, dressed in a long sleeve shirt and a black trouser. He was putting on a shoe, looking good. He greeted the friends and waved to them. He moved closer to Tomisin and told her he was going to the police station.


"Alright, don't be long." Tomisin uttered, waving.


"Yeah, I won't be." He replied.


"Bye sir." Tofunmi bowed waving to him.


Seun smiled. "Bye." He walked out.


'As I was saying, why should I have called early, I was in the hospital now.' She added.



'Alright, we just thank God you're alive now, at least many has died through this process.' Tofunmi smiled lightly.


'That's true.' Bola nodded in support of what Tofunmi said.



'I thank God. But not at all happy, so confusing, annoying.' She uttered.


'That's how men are, most of them are so foolish, they are so mean, they are so foolish!' Bola uttered angrily.


'Its okay, don't add to what's on ground.'Tofunmi uttered.



'What she said is true, MOST are bad, although not all. I'm so confused.


'Have you told Temitope about this?' Bola asked.



'So what's next now?' Tofunmi asked.



'I don't even know what's on ground now, I just know Raymond and the other guy have been charged to court.' Tomisin smiled.



'Have you told Temitope about this?' Bola asked again.


'Court, that's good. Don't let that weigh you down.' Tofunmi said.


'God will be my shield. I'm depressed.'



'I said have you told Tope?' Bola asked again and sighed.


'He was there, I was even told he was the one who carried me out. He came to see me in the hospital, he even had accident on his way back.' Tomisin explained.



'This is serious!' Bola frowned.


'Aah! Sorry.' Tofunmi said sadly.



'OMG! What's the meaning of that, the guy had an accident!' Bola exclaimed and frowned at Tomisin.



'Is it really your business, it wasn't that much, he's now at home, we spoke this morning also.' Tomisin uttered staring at her.



Tofunmi looked at Bola and shook her head.


'Why are you shaking your head like an Agama lizard?'


'Why are you so concerned, is it your business?' Tofunmi said.



'Why can't I pity him, he sha helped us, he took us out for us to have a nice time.' Bola said.



'Is that all.' Tofunmi hissed.



'Can I have his address?' Bola asked.



'Whose address? Don't bother to go and greet him.' Tomisin said.



'Okay, give me his number.' Bola said.



'That's at least better.' Tomisin dictated.

Daniel picked his phone later in the day, to speak with Darasimi on phone. He then knew she had given her mother the phone. He had been thinking of buying his sister and mother phones too. He thought in him that the three of them need phone presently, and he was going to buy for them.


....



AKINPELUMI, Darasimi's father. He had three wives, of which Olufunke was the first wife, he married Shade their after, since Funke couldn't provide him with a male son. Shade also gave birth to triplet, Taiwo, Kenny and Aarin. He went ahead to marry Layo as his third wife, she gave birth to two male children.


Akinpelumi was just a drunkard, known all over the village. He works as a hunter, and brings a lot of meat home. He sleeps with only Layo, and feed them, has never thought of he having other wives that needs a lot of care and children. He was a useless father. Throughout Darasimi's days in school, he didn't give a dime, for the books, textbooks, school fees and project fee.



Layo had been a bone in the throat of the Funke in that house. She and Shade had been troubling her life, whenever they sight Darasimi, they question her for what she hasn't done. It was of a great surprise that Darasimi could pass her final SSCE examination, they disturbed her throughout the examination period because they wanted failure for her.


Darasimi and Daniel read under their normal meeting tree throughout the examination. Darasimi wasn't sure of her place of study now, her father won't assist her at all for her to further her studies, her mother just sells yam at the market.


**********


Daniel was in his room, also studying for the examination coming by, not quite long, Ruth knocked on his door. Daniel walked down there and was surprised seeing her.


'My princess, here?' He asked with surprise.


'Yeah, why are you surprised?' She smiled.



'I should be, wasn't expecting you.' He replied.



'I've brought some word problems to you, for you to solve for me.' She said.



WORD PROBLEMS...

Thanks all..

The following day...


Tolulope got up early from bed, he rushed down to the hospital for the blood donation. The doctor started everything necessary, they discovered that Tolulope has AA. Has his genotype, but has (o-minus) has his rhesus factor. His blood couldn't be used, the doctor advised if he should check the blood bank for them.


'No, let me ask Tonia, we can't tell she might be 0+.' He said.



'That's not a problem just get her immediately.' The doctor uttered.



Tolulope left the office and called Olajumoke to bring Tonia to the hospital. He hurried to the ward where Temitope was, he sat towards him.


'How are you now?' He smiled slightly.


'Cool dad, I've told you I don't need blood.' He replied.


'Just let's compile to what the Doctor said. He has confirmed you need it, he understands better.' Tolulope answered


'Alright dad, where is mum?' He inquired.


'She should be on her way with Tonia.' He responded.


'Tonia? What is she coming to do? He asked.


'She's the donor.' He replied.



DONOR! Temitope wondered.


'Yes, she is, I've forgotten our rhesus factors are different, so she'll be the donor now.



'Yeah, that's true.' He nodded on the bed.



'So you guys even fit.' He added.



Fi...... Fit?' We aren't! We aren't!' He replied.


'So discuss what really happened to me. I saw Tomisin there.' He pointed outside.



'She was disturbed by some foolish guys dad.' He replied.



DISTURBED... In what way? Beaten?



'Exactly!' He replied.



Tolulope' phone started ringing. Olajumoke was already parking outside. He rushed out and saw the car.


'Welcome.' He smiled.


'What of my son?' Olajumoke quickly asked.


'Yes sir.' Tonia replied.



'Yes dear.' He addressed Tonia. "He's still there." He replied



'Let's just go to the Doctor now he said.




******



The whole transfusion was finished and Temitope was discharged.


Tomisin was also discharged and each went to their various houses. Seun went back to the station about the issue. The case continued, it has been scheduled that the accused- Ray and Look would be visiting the court the following Monday.

9c and 4ny beginning... I love it.

Daniel trudged back to his room after teaching Princess Ruth and her friends the mathematics. He was respected for his intelligence and brilliance. It was of a great surprise to the princess and her friends that the questions they didn't find an answer to was gotten by Daniel.



The king had some visitors, so Daniel couldn't stay with him. During their trip to abroad, the king bought it a powerful golden mouth organ, although he demanded for it. As from then, the king has begged him that he would be playing it for him in the palace, when he needs it. It did bring comfort to the king, whenever he listens to his musics played on mouth organ.



Daniel has composed a lot of songs, this made the King like him so much, he was creative, obedient, intelligent, brilliant, a normal stature and handsome. The Princess also loved him for all this features, but the Queen didn't that love him. She would think it in him as the saviour of the King, that made her spend a short time on the throne.



The king bought a lot of inhalers while coming back from abroad, the princess was an asthmatic patient who did experience it frequently. She was also a very beautiful and attractive lady, she wasn't that brilliant but of a little intelligence. She was of the same height with Daniel and blessed with a sparkling with teeth. She hated lies and hated it when all what she wanted wasn't gotten for her. A friend to all the chieves' daughters, the Princess without rival, the princess of the Kingdom.




Darasimi, also one of the most beautiful girls in that Kingdom, also with her white teeth and a space at the two front teeth, upper jaw (incisors). That made her more beautiful whenever she laughs and don't. Also intelligent and brilliant, always giving off a sweet scent, had the best hairdo when she was in the college. It was only her that her mother gave birth to. She made all her papers out of the college but no money to further the education. She wasn't among those that were awarded scholarship. The college normally select five best students for the scholarship, she wasn't good to the extent of scholarship.



Rachael, the princess' friend. She was the one the princess liked most amongst her friends. She was taller than the princess, loved waring trousers and tight t-shirts and tops. She wasn't that brilliant, didn't worth the that student should attend the university she intended in herself. She loved guys generally, she had more than three guys she was dating that time. Her father was Chief Tunde, a great chief in the palace.



Beatrice, the princess' friend also, she was also like the same height with the princess, not that tall. She hated guys generally from her view, when she had been dumped by two guys in her high school. She had promised herself never to date any guy again, not to talk of marrying. she was the daughter of chief Kolade, another respected chief in the palace. She was the most brilliant among the princess' friends, although not as brilliant as Darasimi.



Stella, she was the daughter of Chief Collins, she did visit the palace frequently. She was the only one out of her friends who hasn't dated any guy as at that moment. She was faithful at going to church and reading her bible. She also liked Daniel when she sighted him.



*****



Darasimi got into her mother's apartment, each mother had an apartment. She took in all what Daniel brought for her. She found a phone and a sim pack, she had always dreamt of the day she would use a good and camera phone, so she would oppress her friends with it. She was so happy and inserted the sim into the phone. There was electricity, luckily. She charged the phone and waited for her mother to arrive.



Not quite long, her mother Olufunke arrived home. She was sweating as if she went in search of a job. She brought in the foodstuffs as usual, although, all what she bought was just like five hundred naira, but can last she and her daughter for at least a week. They eat twice daily, the mother had no phone since her phone spoiled.



Darasimi rushed to collect the black polybag from her mum and took it to the kitchen. Funke was resting her back on one of the plastic chairs in there living room. The had no sofa, couch, no curtain at home. The floor wasn't rugged, no carpet, it was even tiled. Although the house was always neat, but not attractive at all.



'Mum, Daniel was here.' She uttered as she pulled out from kitchen.



'See, I'm tired for now, don't have time to start discussing.


'No mum, just listen to me this once.' She uttered.


'You this girl, will you spare me at all.' She frowned at her, looking so tired.


'Until I finish telling you this.' She replied, she carried another plastic chair and sat by her side.


'Won't you start preparing food for us?' She questioned and stared at Darasimi angrily.



'I will, at least just want to tell you what happened today.' She replied smiling.


'What else would have happened, either the woman at the other street came to ask for her money or the butcher came for his money.' She replied.


'No, far from it. I said Daniel came here.' She replied.



'Daniel? The one that donated for the king?' She wondered.


'Yes, so you didn't hear I said it before.' She smiled out.



Funke, still wondering.'Why was he here?' She asked.



'He came to greet me. He brought the phone there for me and a box is inside the room presently, clothes, jewelries are inside it. He also gave me money, that I should give you. So we can pay for our debts now.' She smiled.



'He did all this?' Funke wondered.



'Sure, he's now living with the King.' She added and smiled.



'Wao! The boy is lucky o, so where is the money.' She smiled at Darasimi.



'When I told you I wanted to discuss with you, you said NO, now you want money.' She laughed and stood up.



'Does it matter? Just bring the money and I'm going to collect that phone, I'll be using it. He can buy you another.' Funke uttered.



'What!' Darasimi exclaimed.



'And wait, why did he bring all this, or are you....' She winked



Both laughed.


....

Thanks for reading it, I'm assuring you, you'll love this! Just keep reading... THANKS!

Daniel and Darasimi talked for long time, Daniel gave her all she brought for her. Both were happy and departed. The car headed back to the palace. Daniel got into the palace, the car was parked by the driver he came down of the car, turning his head to the right side. He saw Ruth and her friends sitting there, they were all gisting with textbooks with each of them. They were all preparing for the post UME examination.



Daniel smiled a little, he trudged to the swimming pool, just to greet them before entering into the palace. He got there and continued smiling.


Rachael sighted his presence first. She smiled back at him.


'Hi.' She waved.


The other friends also looked at the back at the same interval. They were all smiling at Daniel. Daniel bowed for them all and walked closer.


'Hello friends.' He smiled.


Ruth was facing the textbook she held squarely, as if she was that serious with it. She was only shy to greet him and couldn't look at him.


'Hello.' Beatrice also waved smiling.


'Yeah, hello' Stella also greeted.


'I'm Dan, may I know you all, apart from My Princess.' He replied still smiling.


'I feel flattered.' The princess thought in her, nevertheless, she didn't behave as if she saw all what was on.


'I'm Rachael.' She introduced, standing up and smiling. She stretched her hand forward to shake him.


'Oooh! Good name.' They both shaked.


Stella also stood up and stretched her hand forward. 'I'm stella.' She used her hand to pull up her gown at the chest, as if she was in a fashion parade.


'What's all wrong with this one, is it the matter of her blue gown or what? As if her name is even fine.' Daniel thought within him.


'Aah! You girls have good names, Stella! Wao!' He smiled, although not that impressed.



Beatrice also stood up and smiled, stretching forward her hand also. 'I'm Beatrice.' She also introduced.


'Beatrice?' Daniel was surprised.


'Sure, you don't like the name?' Beatrice asked smiling.


'I do, even like mad. That's the name of my sister, that's why I'm a little bit surprised.


'That sounds cool.' Beatrice laughed.


Daniel walked back to the princess and bowed. 'My princess, I greet thee.' He uttered bowing.



Ruth just faced her back and saw him bowing. They all laughed out at him.


'You don't need all this Daniel.' She smiled.


Daniel raised his head and also smiled to her. "I do ma, you are the princess of this Kingdom. I do need it.' He uttered.


'That! I won't receive from you, don't use "ma" for me again.' She smiled and wondered.


'I must, its your deserved right, I must always place it on you.' He uttered.



Beatrice laughed out from within. The other girls came together and started talking silently. They all liked Daniel.



'I insist! No!' The princess said.



'Alright ma.' He uttered.


'You've just said ma again!' She exclaimed.


'I'll just start getting used to it ma.' He replied.


'Okay, make that fast.' She smiled also.



'What have you guys been reading?' He asked and smiled.


'Working some difficult-without-answer mathematics questions. So tough.' Princess uttered.


'Sure. We've not gotten any, since.' Rachel uttered.



Daniel moved towards their textbooks and thought them all.

Temitope's parents entered into the ward, the doctor directed them to where Temitope was lying, he excused himself to check another seriously injured patient in that ward. Olajumoke rushed to her son, she held his right hand and brought it close to her cheek. "Sorry my love, all is going to be fine." She addressed.


'I just don't know what you are driving around for. Have you no job?' Tolulope said.



'That's not the issue that should be paid with a fearless attention, let's first be happy he's alive and that he's not that wounded.' Tonia said respectfully.


'That's true.' Olajumoke added.



Temitope viewed Tonia from the sick bed he was lying on with an angry-looking face. He hissed silently and didn't utter a word for that moment. Tonia moved closer to the bed, she walked slowly round the bed to sit by his pillow.


The Doctor hurried back to the scene. He was sweating profusely. Tolulope wondered what he went to do, that has made him to sweat that way. "Please don't sit on the bed." He cautioned Olajumoke and Tonia. They stood up immediately.


'I'm sorry for keeping you waiting, I was busy with a patient, I had to get him one of my colleagues. I'm sorry.' He apologized humbly.


'Yeah, Doc. I'm now alright, can't I just go?' Temitope uttered sharply.


Olajumoke and Tolulope glanced at each other immediately they heard him.


'No, you can't, as a matter of fact, you've loosed a lot of blood, you've got to rest and we'll just first thing tomorrow morning transfuse blood into your system.


'I'm alright! Blood?' Temitope wondered on the bed and stared more at the doctor.


'Yes, blood.' The doctor replied.

...


Tolulope, Olajumoke and Tonia left the room some minutes after, they were referred back to the reception to have their various seats, they were sitting there for several minutes, Olajumoke thought of going back home to get Temitope some food.



Tolulope stood up also and addressed Tonia to just sit there till he returns. He went in search of Seun, he had been thinking on what would have brought him into that hospital. He was entering a ward into another, searching for the brown shirt he saw on Seun. He found him sitting by his daughter after checking several wards. He walked in and moved towards the bed.



'What's happening?' He asked.


Seun raised up his head to see who was there talking to him.


'Ah! Its you.' Seun smiled at Tolu.


Tolu smiled back. "What's wrong with her?" He asked again.


'She was slightly injured some guys.' Seun replied.


'Injured? That out for now.' He said and moved over to Tomisin, he stretched his hand on her forehead to check her temperature.


'That will be discussed later. What are you here for?' Seun asked.


'Its Temitope, he had an accident.' He uttered.


'Accident!' Tomisin exclaimed, trying to sit down on the bed. She was shocked and very much surprised. "How, where, when?' She quickly asked.


'Just sleep back.' Tolulope pushed her slightly to the bed.


Seun was also surprised, he wondered that he left the station like an hour back. He had asked his daughter, Tomisin also about him who told him that he came.



'What happened?' Seun asked with a sad look.


'I don't even know where he was coming from, but I guess this hospital, according to what I heard from a nurse at the reception. She said "the guy that came here some minutes back has also been hospitalized because of an accident.' Tolulope said.


'She told you?' Seun asked.



'No, she was discussing with her fellow nurses, I just overheard, so my brain is just interpreting it.' Tolulope added.


'Where is he dad?' Tomisin faced Tolulope and was curious to hear.



'Also in a ward over there. He'll be fine, the accident wasn't much so the wounds aren't much.' Tolulope smiled.



'That's true, he came here to see me. He had been with me since, I'm sorry dad.' Tomisin said, looking so depressed.


'That's nothing.' Tolulope replied.



'Sorry about that sir!' The officer waved.



Tolulope raised his head to see the man, he was surprised, he never noticed an officer was there.


'Yes sir. Thanks.' He replied.



'So where is your wife?' Seun asked.


'She went home to prepare him some food. I'll donate like a pant of blood to him tomorrow, he'll be fine.' Tolulope assured.



'We're of the same blood group, I can donate sir!' Tomisin quickly interfered.


'No, mine is also alright.' Tolulope replied smiling.


'We thank God for him still living.' Seun said and smiled.


That's what we should be thankful about, so what's really wrong with Tomisin?' Tolulope asked.


....

Thanks so much, the tenses will be worked on... Thanks!..

DARASIMI, a young looking beautiful girl. She is a little bit tall, just of the same height with Daniel. She is from a polygamous home, her father with three wives. She is the first daughter of the family and the first born. Her mother, the first wife.


She attended the dame secondary school with Daniel. She was always giving off sweet scent and was so beautiful. She had the best handwriting that set, the best hairdo and the likes. She was a very intimate friend with Daniel before they started "going out". She was also a christian, she had no siblings.


She had been expecting the arrival of Daniel for long. She was outside their compound with some of her friends that went to that same school, that fortunate day.


The jeep pulled out from a corner, leading to Darasimi's house. It was Daniel. He had sat very close to the door, eager to see if he would meet a padlock at their gate or meet her at home. To his great surprise, Darasimi was outside. He rushed down of the car immediately he ordered the driver to halt.



'Darasimi!' He screamed.


Darasimi viewed him and rushed to him also.


'Daniel!' She exclaimed also.



Daniel held her hands firmly and both walked up to Dara's friends. He bowed and greeted them. They were happy seeing him, he was the head boy of the college before they graduated.


'How are you?' The waved to him.


Daniel just went there to excuse Darasimi from them, so they went out to catch fun together.

Tolulope got in touch with the doctor who told him Temitope was alright, but he would need a pant of blood. Temitope was happy, hearing it was just a little accident, in fact the car wasn't that damaged.


'I can give him.' He uttered quickly.


'We have to pass some tests on you and your wife then. So as to know the blood group and your status.' The doctor replied.


'My son has "AA" as his genotype, I'm also "AA", my wife is "AS". So I can donate for him now.' He quickly said.


'Nevertheless, we're still carrying out some tests on you.' The doctor smiled.



'Okay, agreed!' Tolulope surrendered and got out of the office. He walked back to the reception. Olajumoke rushed near him on sighting him, so Tonia too.



'How's my son?' Jumoke asked sharply.



'He's fine.' Temitope smiled.



'Fine? If he is fine, the doctor wouldn't have told me that you would be told!' She exclaimed.


'I just don't know what was special in him telling you he's fine, just that he would need blood. He replied.



'Blood? I can donate!' She quickly agreed.


'No, you can't! You are 'AS' now, have you forgotten.' He smiled.



'That's true.' She smiled also.



'I'm 'AA'. Tonia rose her hand, she was at the back of Olajumoke.


'I'm also 'AA', it will pay me to donate to him. You are younger.' Tolulope continued smiling.



'So when will it be done?' Olajumoke asked.



'Can you believe I've forgotten that, never asked Doctor.' He replied and walked back to the doctor's office.



He was told the tests and everything would commence the following day. He came back to meet his wife and Tonia, he told them about the day and that the doctor told him to wait behind, so that they could see him.


....



Nurse Kike was struggling with Temitope in the hospital ward. Temitope had been refusing to continue resting, he had been telling the nurse he was fine, just wanted to see Tomisin in her ward.


'Do I look ill? I'm alright, just let me be! I want to see Tomisin.' He uttered frowning.



'You are taking a drip, asides that, you are meant to rest very well. You can't leave this room, I'm sorry.' The nurse replied.


'Why can't I? Temitope tried to sit down but the nurse was pushing him to the bed.' You can't, just continue resting, you can see her some other time' she replied.


'No, its dangerous! I just have to see her. Please nurse.' He added.


'Hell no!' The nurse exclaimed.


'I'll see if you won't leave this ward today.' He uttered.



****


Oluwaseun arrived into the hospital, he rushed to the reception to see the nurses on how he would be able to see his daughter. He was thoroughly questioned, the ward was then described to him. He was rushing there when he saw Tolulope, Olajumoke and Tonia waiting at a corner.



Tolulope was surprised seeing him. "What are you doing here?" He walked towards him.


'My daughter is here.' He replied trying to shake, although trembling with fear.



'What's wrong with her?' He asked.



'That's a later case. He was rushing to the described ward.



The doctor came out and took Tope's parents to the ward.


....


Seun hurried and entered into the ward. He looked around to find his daughter, until he saw a policeman sitting on a plastic chair, behind a patient's bed. He quickly walked toward the bed.


'That should be them.' He thought in him and rushed there.


He was happy seeing them, sat beside his daughter.


'Why are you crying?' He asked surprisingly.


'Dad, welcome.' She smiled, crying.


'So what's the tears all about? Yo u should be thankful to God that you're alive.


ALIVE? Then what's the importance then? She questioned.


'Just be thankful!'

'Thanks sir' she smiled

Once Frank saw Chief Collins he was suprised and shouted "you this man!" You killed my brother, he sat down on the offered seat and was deeply in thought. He had met him severally with his brother, Davies, whenever he went to see him in the office.
' I will spend any dime I have to make sure this man doesn't leave this place sir!' He uttered.

Daniel got back home with joy and happiness. He was fulfilled that he went abroad and even returned with joy. His parents and his sister were so happy to see him back, hale and hearty. He was brought by a Jeep, Acura. The king sent some of his guards to guard him to his father's house. He was dressed in a unique suite.



'So how are you? Hope no problem?' His mother asked with joy.


'I'm good mum, the operation was successful, just arriving and I've come to share a good news with you.' He replied.


'Good news? We are all ears.' His father replied.


He looked up and eyed his father, he was annoyed he interfered in his matter.


'Mum and you.' He pointed to his sister. "As I was saying, the king said he would appreciate this family with a lot of money.' He said smiling.



'Wao! That's great!' David quickly shouted and jumped for joy.


'What is this man happy about now?' He asked and frowned at him.


'Why won't I be happy? Why won't I?' He asked happily.



'Do you think you'll have a share in the money I'm talking about?' He questioned.



'Why won't I? At least I'm your father.' David replied.



Daniel hissed and faced his mother squarely.


'Mum, I'll start living in the palace as from now on.' He added and smiled again.



'What!' Bibi was surprised.


'Yeah.' He replied laughing.



'This is a great news. We all thank God.' Gloria replied and smiled. She was so happy.


'I've always said it, I've given birth to a right son!' David shouted happily.



Daniel stared at him for a moment. He shook his head pitifully at him.


'I hate you dad.' He said.



'Hate?' Bibi exclaimed surprisingly.



'Son, never use that kind of word on your father again.' She said.


'You all know, I hate it when men, boys, guys maltreat women. For christ sake!' He exclaimed angrily.


'That was then son, I've changed for better.' David frowned and pleaded.


Daniel tapped his fingers, a guard came in immediately with a huge box, full of jewelries and women clothes.


'This is for you mum.' He smiled.



Another guard came in, with that kind of box, it was full of clothes and jewelries. He dropped it beside the box on the ground.



'That's for you Bibi.' He added and smiled. Beatrice was happy, she jumped up and opened the box.


'I've got to go now mum.' He said.


'What of your dad's' she asked.



'Does he worth it.' He said angrily.



'Please son, that doesn't matter, whatever you do, just make sure you have it in mind you are doing it for God.' Gloria added and frowned.



'Alright.' He stood up and left the living room, Bibi and Gloria followed him outside. David was sitting angrily at the living room, he was annoyed Daniel didn't bring him anything.


Daniel then instructed a guard to carry the last box in the car in for his father.


'So you bought him something!' Bibi smiled.


'Sure, a man must always be a man, just tried to scare that man.' He replied.


'That man? Your father?' Gloria wondered.


'Don't call him my dad mum.' He replied.

Temitope was rushed back to the hospital he was coming from. Although, he was not that wounded, but he had some deep cut. The good samaritans that assisted him dialed the number he called last, which was his mother. Temitope left the house that morning immediately his mother left the house to go and pick Tonia that arrived to the airport.



Olajumoke and Tonia rushed down to the hospital described to them. She couldn't exercise patience at all. She rushed to the nurses at the reception to ask of her son. He was calmed down, was told to sit. She was so scared to hear her son was in the hospital, she continued shouting at the nurses there.


'I want to see my son!' She shouted, bringing out her phone and dialing Tolulope's phone number.


'You can't presently see him, he's in the casualties, taking treatment.' The first nurse exclaimed.



'Please mum, just calm down, he will be fine.' Tonia calmed her down, looking sad also.



'Hello, Temitope had been rushed to DANPEL HOSPITAL.' She uttered.


'Danpel? Where is that? What's wrong with my son? I've been calling him severally here also.' He asked speaking so worried.


'Along makuri road, just come right away, I don't know how I can answer those questions.' She replied and ended the call.



'I repeat let me see my son, at least for some seconds.' Olajumoke shouted again.



'Ma, the Doctor..' The nurse was trying to talk when Olajumoke stood up and moved forward, she had seen the Doctor coming towards the direction.


'Doctor how is he?' She quickly asked.



HE? The doctor wondered.


'Yeah, my son that had an accident.' She replied.


'Oooh! Yeah, what of his dad?' The doctor asked.



'On his way, can I see my son?' She asked.



'Until his dad comes.' The Doctor replied and headed to his office.


Olajumoke followed him immediately, she was still questioning him. 'Why must you see his dad, what if his dad is dead. Tell me what's happening Doctor!' She continued following him.


'Okay, I will tell you.' The Doctor faced her.


'I'm all ears.' She replied.



The Doctor wondered again and said "I'm sorry." He then continued walking.



Olajumoke stood there wondering on the words "I'm sorry"


'Does it mean he's dead?' She wondered again.



.....



Tolulope arrived few minutes later, he rushed in also, he viewed his wife from afar, he rushed to her.


'Where is my son? What went wrong?' He quickly asked.


'I don't even know, but he had an accident.' The doctor said you should see him immediately you arrive.'



'Where is his office?' He quickly asked.



Olajumoke pointed towards the direction of the Doctor's office. Tolulope rushed there.

Florence rushed into the police station described to her on phone. She met Seun, Yemi and Temitope sitting, weeping profusely. She rushed to see the D.P.O, but she was told there was nothing that could be done to it, Raymond will visit the court soon.



Temitope had been ignoring his parents' calls since the incidence happened. He didn't want to be disturbed by anyone. He left the police station immediately after he had been interrogated to see Tomisin in the hospital. He was still worried.



Temitope got to the hospital as fast as possible, he asked about her from the nurses at the reception, he was questioned by the nurses before he was allowed into the ward. He entered and walked into the ward briskly. He held his breath to see her, he was happy meeting her conscious. He met a police officer beside her, taking apple, the police recognised him immediately he saw him.



Temitope greeted him and walked beside Tomisin's bed, where she was facing. He help her right hand and looked into her eyes. Tomisin couldn't withstand him looking at her, she covered her face immediately. Temitope smiled and went out of the ward to make a quick call.


'Hello mum.' He lowered his tone.



'What has been happening to you Tope, I've been calling you since, and your father also.' She shouted.



'Something serious came up mum.' He said sadly.



'What?' Olajumoke quickly asked.



'I don't think that matters presently. Just let me get home, I only want you to know I'm fine and will always be mum.' He uttered nodding his head in belief of what he said.



'So when will that be?' She asked with a loud tune.



'Ee....em... Soon mum.' He uttered and nodded again, smiling.


'What happening son!' Olajumoke asked again.


'Mum, when I get home.' He insisted.


.....


Temitope entered into the ward back and walked down to Tomisin again, he met her crying. He brought out a new white handkerchief and wiped her tears away.


'I'm sorry for all that happened dear, please just stop crying. Please.' He pleaded, trying to cry also.



'I shouldn't? Where is my dad please?' She asked, continued crying.



'He's still at the station with the two fools. I wish I had my ways. I wish I was that guy that saw the whole incident, I wish I was God.' He uttered angrily with tears rolling on his cheeks.


The policeman there continued eating his apple, he was hearing them but didn't behave as if he did.



'You just said I shouldn't cry, but you're doing.' She said crying out also.


Temitope stretched his hand and cuddled her. 'Okay, I will, but please, stop too.' He said.


Temitope's cell phone started ringing, it was his mum. He neglected the call and continued discussing with Tomisin.


'And how are you now feeling? Better?' He inquired sadly.


'Not at all, I feel pains all over me. I'm not alright at all.' She said.


'Aaaarrggghhh!' Temitope continued crying.



"Just stop this, I guess mum just called. Please you just have to go and see her. Please I beg of you.' She pleaded, also weeping.


'I'm not, until I help you out of this.' He said.



'The only help you can render to me presently is just to go and meet mum. Please!' She pleaded again.



'Okay, I will be back soon. Please, stop crying.' He repeated.


'Okay, I promise I won't again.' She replied.


Temitope gave her the handkerchief. The handkerchief was specially designed. It was the handkerchief he was calling Tomisin about before he noticed she was in problem. "T&T" was written on it.


He begged her again and rushed out of the hospital. His mind wasn't settled, he was just rushing home.

Temitope was just weeping on his way home before he also had a crucial accident.

'The king would be arriving soon.' The doctor proclaimed the arrival of the King to the queen. She was worried on hearing this, she wished her husband was dead, she hated Daniel for saving the King's life from danger.


....



It was as everyone knew, it was as usual. David was beating his wife again, this time, there was nobody to save her away from him. David beat her till she fainted. He was drunk that afternoon. Bibi couldn't help the situation, rather, she was also beaten. She had always pray for a safe trip for her brother so that he could be able to deal with her useless father.


At last, the king and Daniel returned from overseas, the operation was successful and all turned out to be success. The king could walk on his feet again, the driver was already at the airport hours before the arrival of the king. People were happy seeing the king again, hale and hearty. He was taken to the palace and Daniel. The king was really happy with Daniel. He never expected him to do that for him.



He called a meeting with the chieves, to greet them all, to know what had been going on since he left and to know what he can do to appreciate Daniel.


'The kingdom has been in a total confusion my king!' Chief Tunde said.


'Confusion? What happened.' He asked wondering.


'Yes my king, the queen has turned the kingdom into total confusion, she sat on the throne, commanded and killed many people my king.' Chief collins uttered.



'What! Let's leave her issue for now, let's talk about Daniel. As you all know what he has done for me, what can I do to pay him.' He asked.


'King, I guess you can send him to school, at least he's not from a family that is that okay.' Chief Tunde commented, smiling.


'You can also give his family a lot of money.' Chief Kolade added.


'You can let him start living in this palace as a Royal Son.' Chief Collins added.



'They will all be done as you've wished.' He said.


'I'm so sorry for all that happened in my presence, I will correct them all my chieves.' The king quickly added.



**********



The king became furious about what the queen did. He was infuriated and very annoyed. He spoke annoyingly to her and warned her never to do that again.


The king called a meeting between his family about the issue od Daniel that will start living with them. The queen was angry on hearing this, she became annoyed and left the meeting angrily. Ruth was so happy that Dan will start living with her family. All she had ever wanted!
