    AGE DOESN’T MATTER
    Age Doesn’t Matter Episode 10

    Written By Ruthie Lee

    I turned to the crowd  but couldn’t find Jason, standing where he was standing before. 

     And then I turned to see him walking up the stairs towards me.

    “So you finally showed up!” Jason said as he got to me. 

    “I’d look bad if I miss it and now I’m kind of regretting why am here!” I sighed. 

    “Why?” he asked. 

    “Look at your girlfriends and look at me.” I said and gesture my hand around referring to girls I’m skimpy dresses. 

    “Yeah, what’s wrong with them and what’s wrong with you!” Jason asked. 

    “I mean, are we in the same league?” I rolled my eyes. 

    “No, but you’re kinda here so… oh and I forgot to ask, how was your boyfriend graduation ceremony?” Jason asked. 

    I sighed. “It was awesome and again he’s not my boyfriend!” 

    “Yeah that’s what you all say and then the next minute you and the person who you’re referring to as not my boyfriend is actually in a corner with you giving you raw smooches!” Jason laughed and I turned to him. 

    “What?” he asked holding my gaze. 

    “Don’t let me cuss you on your birthday!” I threatened. 

    “Cusses on my birthday not allowed! And I know you’re the queen of cusses” He smiled. 

      A girl came running up the stairs and towards us. 

    She looked tired and her tight disco looking dress hugged her body like it can never be removed. 

    “What are you doing here Jason! Your cake will be here soon, and you know you have to cut it come on!” she said and pulled Jason’s hand and start to drag him down the stairs. 

    Jason turned to me. “come on Elsa!” he said with gestures. 

     I sighed and made it down the stairs, trailing behind Jason and his girlfriend I think. Cause they look like they’re probably dating. 

       

     The music stopped playing and I almost yelled  ‘Thank goodness’ but I didn’t, cause I didn’t want to Recieve awkward stares. 

     The lights in the living room went out and the girl who came to call Jason, his girlfriend, started to walk out of the kitchen with a big round cake that had a single candle at the top and her tiny voice starts to sing the happy birthday song. 

    Wow such loving girlfriend. 

     Everyone joined the chorus and the lights slowly came back on and I saw Jason’s face holding the most exciting grin ever. 

     He watched as his girlfriend slowly carried the cake closer to him still singing the song. 

     When she got to him everyone stopped singing and she said, “Happy birthday Jay Jay.” 

     Jay Jay? It was cute it made me smile. 

    “Now blow out the candle and make a wish!” His girlfriend ordered. 

    “I know that!” Jason said with an eye roll and closed his eyes briefly before bowing out the candle. 

    Such attitude with such a pretty face. 

    Everyone clapped and the girl dropped the cake on the table in front of them and used a smile knife beside the table to cut a slice of cake for Jason. 

     “Now” she said, placing the piece of cake In a plate in Jason’s hand and giving him a fork. 

    She started, “Okay now Jason, You will make a toast to anything or anyone according to the bites of this piece of cake.!” His girlfriend explained and he nodded with a smile. 

     

    Everyone watched as Jason grabbed a small piece of the red velvet cake with his fork and raised it up. 

    And with his loud deep voice he said. “Okay this bite is for my Mom, she’s the best, she’s the sweetest I love her and that’s just that!” Jason said and shoved the cake in his mouth making everyone yell and clap happily, I suddenly saw everyone looking up the stairs still clapping and I saw miss Huggins waving and smiling happily as they chanted her name, she smiled at her son. 

     Well Jason’s really sweet, dedicating his first bite to his mom. 

     The noise died down and everyone turned back to Jason, waiting for his second bite probably till the last bite. Jason stabbed the cake for his second bite and raised it up. 

    “This second bite is for my two best buddy Simon and Donald, they’re both crazy, but I love them either ways!” Jason said and I think that’s Simon and Donald cause they both rushed him to give him a playfully punch for calling them crazy, and everyone laughed at their childishness. 

     Jason raised his third bite up and everyone quiet down, I think the last piece on the plate would be his last bite.   “This third bite actually is for, you Krystal” He said to his girlfriend and everyone said the “Ohhhhhhhhhh” teasingly in unison, and I laughed cause it was funny and Jason kind of felt flushed when that happened. 

     The Krystal of a girl couldn’t help her smile as Jason said. “You’ve always been there for me and I don’t know how to thank you enough!” 

    “Thank her with a kiss!” one of Jason’s friend said and Jason stoned him a glare. 

     Everyone laughed and clapped at the same time and Krystal couldn’t help but blush at that. How sweet. Teenage love. 

     Jason should be quick, I’m actually feeling sleepy and would like to go home. 

     Jason raised the last bite on his fork and dropped the cake plate. 

    And he began. “And for this last bite”  He looked around for a while and when his eyes met mine and then  he smiled. 

    “This last bite Is for my teacher, miss Elsa” Jason said and everyone followed his eyes and turned to me… 

    Oh okay!… 

    “She’s really moody, she cusses me all the time, she calls me a butt head once, slapped the back of my head, reprimanded me a lot of times.” Jason said and everyone giggled as they looked back forth at Jason and I… Okay Jason’s actually making me look bad. Well I did all that too him, but he had his bide sides too! 

    Jason continued anyway.  “But she’s the best, best teacher I’ve ever known, she’s very smart, helped me a lot and believe me when I say she’s very hot! And we love her” 

     I shut my my eyes and opened them back up. 

    Jason is such a dumb head. 

     Everyone clapped and cheered for me as Jason took the cake in his mouth. 

     The music came back on and everyone starts to dance to their happiness and I walked away to the kitchen where they kept the drink. 

    I took a bottle and walked away from the teenage crowd and to Jason’s room which was quiet and empty. 

     I sniffed the drink as I opened it and Immediately I knew the alcohol in it would be so much. But its okay I am able to hold my liquor. 

     I took one sip from the alcohol and I almost spit it back, it tasted horrible and it burned my throat and chest, I dropped the bottle and shook my head Negatively. Nope I’m not drinking that. 

       I stayed quiet in the room and wrapped my long skirt around my leg, enjoying the warmth of the room. 

      I was getting bored and sleepy at the same time, and so I decided to lay my head down on the desk and when I did lay my head down, I didn’t know when I fell asleep.

               #JASON_POV 

      I was honestly having the best time of my life, 

     I’ve had birthday parties like this every year, but this seems to be one of a kind, it was just different from others, maybe because we’re all growing up I guess. 

      It was nighttime and the house had become even more fuller, and I didn’t know when I had made so many friends like this. 

      I walked away from the dancing arena after partying with my friend and over to the counter full of drinks, to have at least one sip of the amazing and different alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks I’ve been eyeing from the dance floor. 

       I raised a glass and as I filled the glass with drink, someone tapped me from the shoulder making me turn. It was my friend Simon. 

    “Oh Simon what are you doing here, I thought you were at the dance floor.!” I yelled over the music. 

    “I can’t possibly stand and watch my best friend have fun with drinks without me!” he replied shoving his cup closer to me for me to fill it up. 

    “Okay so I don’t know if you know this, but I think Krystal has a crush on you, I’m talking about massive crush here dude.” Simon said making me glance at Krystal. 

      Well Krystal is sweet we’ve come a long way as friends and she’s really caring and has got my back all the time. 

     

    “Well I know that!” I shrugged at Simon as I filled his cup. 

    “You do! Well do something about it!” Simon yelled. 

    “Do what? About what? She has a crush on me that’s her problem I don’t have to do anything about it, Krystal is sweet and all but I don’t like her!” I said sincerely. And that was the truth. 

    “Wow bro that’s harsh! And look at everyone thinking Krystal is your girlfriend, cause you guys looked great standing together” Simon said. 

    “Thanks but no!” I smiled and took a big sip out of my drink before walking, I removed the golden sash my friends made me wear and threw it on the couch. 

     I looked around and paused, it’s been almost two hours and I haven’t seen Elsa. 

     Has she left? I thought! As I walked around the whole living room and finally made it up the stairs. 

     I walked passed the hallway and somehow I just felt like I should check my room and when I opened the door to my room and walked in, I found Elsa sitting comfortably on the chair behind my study desk and her head carefully placed in between her curved hands on the desk. As I got closer I saw that she was fast asleep and beside her head was a bottle of alcoholic drink that wasn’t looking friendly. 

     According to the bottle and how filled it was, she didn’t take much!. 

      So she came all the way here, to my eighteenth birthday party, to fall asleep. 

      I gently called her name and  tapped her on the shoulder twice and immediately her eyes fluttered open. 

    Okay she’s a light sleeper that’s nice. 

    “Jason?” she called as she sat up. “What are you doing here?” she asked. 

    “Uhh,” I looked around. “This is my room!” 

    She looked around too. “Oh I am very sorry” she apologized. Okay I think that will be the first time she will be apologizing. 

    “No its okay, you seemed pretty deep in your sleep, so I woke up uo and wanted to let you know that you can totally crash on my bed if you’re really tired!” I said she sighed rolling her Hazel eyes. 

    “I didn’t plan to fall asleep when I came, looks like I was really bored to death!” she ranted. 

    “No kidding, and you decided to finish all that alcohol yourself?” I scoffed pointing to the bottle. 

    “Yeah, I did and don’t worry I can hold my alcohol pretty well” She said standing up. 

     She almost lost her balance when she stood up but she sat down again…

    “I’m really worn out!” she sighed. 

    Worn out? 

    I laughed. 

    “Okay sorry for that, so do you mind, if we both share the drink?” I asked.

    “Aren’t you supposed to downstairs jubilating with your friends, I mean it’s your birthday! And there are more of where this drink came from I bet!”. 

    “Don’t you get the fact that I’m trying to keep you company since you’ve been bored!” I sighed. 

    “Well that’s nice” she nodded. “But I don’t think I can stay and have a drink, it’s late!”. 

    “Late? Seriously? It’s not! Just one stupid drink!” I huffed. 

    “Okay fine, get the cups let’s get this drink over with.” She gestured with her hands and I walked to the cabinet beside my bed and took two glass cups. 

    “And don’t pour too much drink on your cup, the day is not over yet so you’re not completely eighteen!” she ordered making me laugh…

     I did as she said, well she’s the boss! She’s older I know that, but she doesn’t act… No scratch that she acts older, way than her age but she doesn’t look older at all. And all my friends kept asking if she was really a teacher. 

    I think she’s around twenty one or two. I’m not very sure.

            Javan’s Pov:
    I stared at her in shock. No; this is not possible.
    Olivia’s pregnant!! What the f**k??? How did this happen?
    She’s still passing through conception and in a few days, the baby would’ve been completely formed.
    No; I can’t let this happen. She can’t be pregnant for Mishael. Its only going to ruin my plans.
    No!!
    I groaned and left the room angrily.
    *
    *
              Phin’s Pov:
    After much conviction, Tabitha finally agreed to return with me so she could see Mishael. 
    Even a blind man could tell she was scared. 
    Well, I just pray Gera will be around to control Mishael else, I sincerely don’t know what he’s gonna do.
    Tabitha insisted on getting some of her clothes from the house and I agreed and accompanied her.
    We got to her little apartment and as soon as we got in, she started screaming someone’s name.
    ‘Marcia?” She called.
    “Marcia? Where are you? Marcia?”
    She kept on calling and calling, going into different rooms.
    I had a look around the sitting room and thought. So, this was the kind of life she’s been living?
    She returned to the sitting room after a while.
    “I can’t find her” she said, looking worried.
    “Who’s she?” I asked.
    “A..A lady. She’s been staying with me for some days now and…I suddenly can’t find her. I don’t know where she went” .
    “Well…its possible she went out to visit her friends or something…”
    “No; she doesn’t know anyone around here. I mean, she didn’t even tell me she was leaving. She didn’t tell me anything”.
    Chat gaby@zero eight one six zero four four two eight seven two for more stories
    I sighed and touched my forehead.
    “Well…she didn’t just vanish, did she? I’m pretty sure she’s fine and might probably return. But for now, you really need to come with me” I told her, already becoming impatient.
    *
    *
          Marcia’s Pov:
    I felt so weak and pained.
    My head was hurting like hell.
    I opened my eyes blearily and found myself lying on a cold dirty floor.
    Huh? 
    I tried sitting up and discovered my hands and legs were tied. What the hell is this?
    My mind immediately flashed back to what had happened. 
    I was at home when I heard a knock on the door and I went to check it out. As soon as I opened the door, it was a lady and she casted a spell on me and I passed out immediately.
    But what the hell happened? Who’s she and why am I tied up here?
    I groaned and tried sitting up but couldn’t as I was bounded.
    Just then, I saw her – the lady. She came up and squatted in front of me.
    “You’re awake” she smirked.
    “Who are you? Why did you bring me here?” I managed to ask.
    “Hmph. I bet you wouldn’t know me. Well, that’s because your mother had me locked up for sixteen years” she said with a loathful look.
    What?
    “She’s such a fool” she continued.
    “After locking my mother and I like animals for sixteen years, she sent me down here to look for you. Well, guess What? I found you. But I’m gonna make sure you don’t go back to her alive”.
    *
    *
             Javan’s Pov:
    I opened the door and walked into the room where Olivia sat on the bed, reading a book 
    “Hey” I called when I got to where she was and dropped the cup of coffee on the bed close to her.
    “Hi” she reciprocated and closed the book.
    “What have you been reading?” I asked 
    “Uh…just saw an old book from the closest”.
    I nodded and lifted the cup of coffee to her.
    I really hope she takes this. She has to.
    I can’t let her have a child for Mishael.
    “Here; I made you some coffee” I told her and she smiled and shook her head.
    “I’m sorry, I don’t take coffee”. She replied and my eyes drooped.
    What?
    No!!

    Written By Ruthie Lee

     Neil and i walked out of the huge restaurant and he led me to the car, I got the door myself and got in, while he got in the car too. 

      The drive home was quiet, we both didn’t say much and I was kind of sleepy too. 

      The date night was cool, I honestly enjoyed it. 

     Neil pulled over in front of my house and I could see the lights from my kitchen window on. 

      We both walked out of the car and he smiled at me. 

    “Hope you had a wonderful night?” Neil started. 

    “Yeah I had a great night” I said sincerely. 

    “Okay so… Goodnight?” Neil smiled. 

    “Yeah goodnight” I replied 

       I wanted to go inside cause I was freezing but Neil called me back. 

    “Yes?” I replied politely. 

    “Yeah so,” he begun and starts to rub his neck nervously.  “On Monday, so on Monday is my graduation and we get to invite friends and family, and honestly, you’re the only friend I’ve got!” he said. 

    “For real?” I scoffed. 

    “Yep.!” He said and I sighed. “Okay fine, I’ll be at your graduation but you’ll be the one picking me up” I tell him. 

    “Of course, if I don’t, who will then?” he laughed. 

    “Okay then Neil, I’ll see you on Monday?” I smiled and he nodded. 

    “Thank you for tonight Elsa, good night and also have a wonderful night” He said and with one brief hug, his legs walked to this car and with one last smile and wave, he got into his car and drove away. 

     I covered my freezing body with my skinny hands, not like it covered anything though, and ran into the house. 

     My house was warm as always and the sweet smell of turkey filled the whole place. 

    “Elsa is that you?” My mom asked as she heard the door close. 

    “Yes it’s me!” I yelled.

    “Youre just in time for our late dinner.” my mom said coming out of the kitchen. 

    My mom paused seeing my outfit. 

    “Oh no, it’s okay I’m already full.” I said.

    “Did you go teaching, dressed like that?” she asked. 

    I glanced down at my dress. “What? No am I crazy? I went on a date.” I said walking towards the couch and resting my butt down. 

    “A date?” my mom’s voice was as curious as it was excited. 

    “Yeah, with Neil!” I said. 

    She knows Neil. 

    “Neil? Neil? Who’s Neil?” 

    “Neil? The guy you once called a very simple minded guy, who came home with me on time from school!” I recalled her memory and She gasped. 

    “Oh you mean that Neil? Oh wow.! It’s been ages, so you’ve been in touch with him?” my mom asked. 

    “No not really, I met him the night before yesterday, coincidently at the bus stop. We were both surprised seeing each other” I explained and my mom smiled. 

    “You guys met the day before yesterday, and he already asked you out on a dinner date?” my mom sounded weird which made me laugh. 

    “Yeah? What’s wrong with dinner dates?” 

    “Nothing, I mean so quickly, don’t you think he likes you or something!” my mom smirked. 

    “I don’t know mom” I stood up. “I’ll be in my room, it’s been one stressful day.” 

    “Okay good night sweetie.” my mom said behind me and I nodded. 

    I brought my phone out from my bag and dropped my bag on the floor beside my bed. 

     I checked for any missed calls or messages but none. So I just dropped my phone. 

     I got up from my bed and removed the skimpy dress from my body. 

     I felt like I could breathe again, immediately the dress was off my body. 

     I made it to shower and spent almost an hour under the hot runny water…

    **

     That night as I tucked myself under my blanket, my head buried in the pillow, my phone brought a message tone and I looked at the screen to see a goodnight message from Neil. 

     I smiled and texted him back before falling asleep. 

      ‘The sun is surprisingly hot today’, I thought as I came down from my bed to check the time. 

     I gasped when I saw it was 1:3pm, wow did I really sleep that late? Was I really that stressed out yesterday?. 

     I breathed out a sigh of relief when I figured out I won’t be going to work today, but sighed when I remembered my jacket, I have to go get it. 

     That afternoon I ate the applejack cereal as brunch and after taking my bath and watching a little bit of modern television, I left the house and made my journey to the Huggins residence. 

    *. 

     Thankfully the road was free Today, the bus wasn’t full and I made it in the Huggins residence in no time. 

     Mrs Huggins gasped seeing me walk into her living room. 

    “No, you can’t work extra time. You get to work on weekdays, I don’t want you to get stressed out” Mrs Huggins said. 

    “Uh no, I’m actually here for something else.” I tell her.

    “Oh really?” she giggled. 

    “Yeah” I replied. “I left my jacket here yesterday and I came to pick it up” I expound and she nodded.  “Right Jason told me about that, anyways you can go get it, Jason kept it waiting for you, he’s in his room” Mrs Huggins said and I nodded and made my way to Jason’s room. 

     I knocked on the big wooden door that leads to Jason’s room and I heard his voice saying. “Come in, it’s open.” from the inside. 

     I pushed the door opened and walked in, he was on his bed with a boy beside him with curly hair, they were both playing with their phones they didn’t even bother to look at whoever walked in until I said

    “Hey Jason!” 

       Jason and his friend looked up immediately. 

     “Elsa! Wow can’t believe you’re here. Your jacket is over there, you can take it and leave, you’re welcome” Jason rushed his words and turned back to his phone. 

    “Dude.” his friend nudged him. 

     I made it to his study desk and grabbed the jacket from the chair.

       I made it to the door but was stopped my Mrs Huggins who just walked inside. 

    “Oh, I was about to leave!” I smiled at her. 

    “But you just got here, why won’t you just stay for tea!” she offered. 

    “No it’s okay!” I smiled about to walk pass her but she placed both hands on my shoulder and let out a friendly smile. “Please, you should know I don’t treat my guest in that harsh way and you’re more than a guest, you’re Jason’s private tutor for God’s sake.” Mrs Huggins said. 

    “She’s the tutor?” I heard Jason’s friend whispered to him. 

    “Okay then fine, but just tea, I have to go!” I smiled. 

    “Now that’s the spirit!” Mrs Huggins said and led me out of Jason’s room and downstairs to the kitchen. 

    And my jaw almost dropped. 

     This shouldn’t be just a kitchen, I couldn’t even describe what I was looking at, every stove, oven microwave, fridge, felt like another Level of technology, it was advanced and the kitchen island was to die for. 

      Mrs Huggins starts to brew tea on the counter and I just stood still with my jacket and bag on my body and watched her. 

     Each time she glanced at me, she throws me this heartwarming smile and I just nod lightly. 

     

    And then she started a conversation. 

    “So I heard you went on a date yesterday!” 

    Okay that is kind of awkward to start a conversation. 

    “Uhm…Yeah!” i replied. 

    “Wow okay, I didn’t mean to pry, but I didn’t see you when you left yesterday and Jason said you left in a hurry cause you had a date.” Mrs Huggins beamed. 

    Of course Jason! 

    “Yep that is correct!” I nodded. 

    “Oh okay, so you heard about Jason’s birthday party right?” Mrs Huggins asked and I nodded. 

    “Well his dad will be flying back tomorrow just for his birthday!”. 

     I don’t understand why she’s telling me all this. But I’m listening, maybe she doesn’t want me to be bored watching her brew tea I’m not really in a mood to drink. 

    “Looks like his birthday will be the talk of town,” I joked. 

    “Not really, just a few of his friends and family members that’s all, we don’t like calling for attention” Mrs Huggins smiled. 

    Her smile is really beautiful and you gst used to it quickly. 

    “Oh okay!” I nodded. 

    “So you’re coming right?” she smiled. 

    I nodded. “Yeah of course, Jason told me about it, it’s on Tuesday right?”. 

     “Tuesday?” I heard Jason’s voice behind me and I turned to see him walking into the kitchen and heading for the fridge. 

    “No silly” Mrs Huggins laughed. 

    “My birthday is on Monday, wow! Do you have bad memory?” Jason teased. 

    “Jason watch your tongue!” his mother threatened. 

    “Anytime he says something like this next time, make sure to reprimand him!” Mrs Huggins huffed. 

    “Mom you have no idea, how much more of reprimands I get in my room upstairs, I even got slapped in the head one time!” Jason said as he pulled out an apple canned drink from the fridge. 

     Mrs Huggins laughed. “Looks like miss Elsa, is not an easy person to deal with!” 

    “She’s not, and she’s rude!” Jason said to his mom. 

    “Anyways my birthday is on Monday, you can come if you want to and you can rest your butt home if you don’t want to.” Jason remarked. 

    I rolled my eyes, and then paused. 

    “On Monday?” I repeated. 

    “Yeah I told you about it, what the hell? Did you forget already do you suffer from anterograde amnesia”. Jason tried to joke but got a glare from him mom. 

    “Is anything wrong?” Mrs Huggins asked. 

    Neil invited me to his graduation ceremony on Monday 

    “On Monday… Uh I have a place I have to go.” I said. 

    “On Monday? Where?” she asked. 

     It’s rude to tell Mrs Huggins this but she’s obviously prying in my business. 

    “I have a graduation ceremony to attend.” I tell her with a sigh. 

    “Your graduation?” she asked. 

    “No a friend of mine, he’s graduating from college and I have to be there.” I said. 

    “Oh okay” 

    “Is it the guy you went out on a date with?” Jason asked. 

    “And I don’t see why I should answer that.” I glared at him. 

    “Well that proves your answer to be yes.!” Jason said. “Anyways mom just let her go to her boyfriend’s party, it’s like she’ll be doing anything for us here.” Jason added before leaving the kitchen. 

    “Don’t mind his words.” Mrs Huggins pleaded. 

    “Yeah I know” I shrugged. 

    “I understand if you can’t make it here on Monday, but I really wanted you to be here.” Mrs Huggins sighed. 

    Why? What does she want to do with me? 

     I finally had the tea with Mrs. Huggins like she wished for earlier and I found my way home. 

      In the bus I couldn’t help but think, Jason’s birthday or Neil’s graduation ceremony.

    Her husband was impotent and she ended up sleeping with the king – my own husband!
    She slept with him.
    She slept with him and got pregnant. But the king had no idea the baby belonged to him. I also had no idea; not until few years ago. And that was the reason I tried to kill Mishael together with the black angels who were close to him.
    I tried to kill him so the truth would never come out because if the king gets to know he had a son,  he’d definitely crown him and I didn’t want that to happen. I didn’t want the legacy to leave my hands.
    So, I tried to kill him. But unfortunately, he escaped it and few months ago, the king got to know Mishael was his son. I still don’t know how he found out, but he became sad since then because he thought he was actually dead and that was the reason I wanted Mishael dead by all means!!
    Now, look what has happened.
    I was locked up in a cell. You wouldn’t believe the king had me locked up! 
    He blames me for trying to kill his son and sending his daughter down to earth for such a risky mission.
    But it wasn’t my fault. I wasn’t thinking straight. I had to send Marcia.
    What have I done? 
    This is all Mishael’s fault. If only he had remained dead, none of this would’ve happened. Jr ruined everything!
    And I swear, I’m gonna make him pay.

           Phin’s Pov:
    She stared at me in shock, the basket of clothes still scattered on the floor.
    “How did you know that name?” She asked, fraily 
    “Because Mishael is my friend I told her.
    “We came down to earth together for safety after the Queen tried to kill us. I’m a black angel” I told her and the bewilderment  on her face increased.
    “Mishael” she called in a faint voice.
    “He’s alive?”
    “Yeah – he didn’t die after you abandoned him” I said and her eyes flickered with a look of contrition.
    She lowered her gaze to the floor.
    “He needs you.” I spoke up.
    “He needs the touch of his mother to break a bond that’s connected between him and a lady. We think your touch is the only thing that can save him”.
    “A bond?” She flinched.
    “Yes – its a long story and I don’t have much time to say it here. You need to come with me. Please” I said, forcing out the please.
    She shook her head and turned around, a tear streaming down her cheek.
    “I can’t face Mishael. I can’t. I can’t face him” she gibbered and busted into tears
    “You don’t need to face him. You just need to save him. You’re the only hope we have left. I want to believe no matter what,you still have some feelings for your son”.
    “I’ve always loved Mishael!” She turned back at me and said.
    “I’ve always loved him. I…(sniffs) I never wanted to hurt him or leave him. I just…”
    She busted into more tears.
    Geez!
    I kept silent for a while.
    “If you still love him, then come with me. You have a chance to save him” I told her and she looked at me with her teary eyes.

          Javan’s Pov:
    I walked into the room and met Olivia fast asleep on the bed.
    Hm.
    So pretty.
    I smiled and went to sit on the edge of the bed, staring into her face like a movie. She was so beautiful indeed and I couldn’t imagine being away from her. I couldn’t imagine seeing her with Mishael.
    Never!
    He’s always been the center of attraction right from Krypton. All the ladies drooled on him and because of how powerful he is, I’m pretty sure that’s the reason the Queen tried to kill us. He’s been nothing but bad luck.
    But…I wonder why they’ve been silent for sometime now. I mean, I was expecting a fight. I was expecting Phin to help him track me, but surprisingly, there’s been nothing at all. Why’s that?
    Why haven’t they tried to attack me?
    Hmm
    I stared at Olivia one more time and was about leaving the bed when I felt something – something strange – something only I among the black angles could feel. 
    What?
    No! This is not possible!
    I sprang on my feet immediately, staring at Olivia.
    No; this can’t be. Its not possible.
    What’s going on? Why am I feeling this around her?
    Olivia? 
    No
    She can’t be…
    But how…
    I don’t want to believe its true;of course it’s not true.
    But, I can feel it.
    I can feel the conception – the formation of a new being.
    How’s this possible??

    Age Doesn’t Matter Episode 5

    Written By Ruthie Lee

    “So your address will be pretty helpful right now” Neil said as he opened the car door for me and I walked in. 

     He made a turn to the other side of the car and got in the driver’s seat. 

    “Well my address is still the same.” I tell him as he got inside the car. He knows where I lives, he had followed me home once, we were both leaders of the student council back then in high school, though I was in grade eleven, I was still made president there. Neil had followed me home that day since the matters in our hand got too much, and we had to take it home. 

    “Really?” He smiled. 

    “Yep” I replied, what made him think I moved. 

    “Okay well that’s great!” He said and before I knew it we were on the road. 

    “So what were you doing out there?” Neil asked. 

    “Like I said earlier I was waiting for the bus.” I replied. 

    He laughed “Yeah I know, that is the bus stop anyways, I meant to say, why were you waiting for this, are you coming from somewhere?” 

    “Oh… Yeah, yes I was coming back from work.” I said clutching my handbag. 

    “Oh! Really, you work till this late?” he asked. 

    “It’s a new job and it’s not that late.!” 

    “What? It’s late it’s 8:45pm!” he exclaimed. 

    “That’s because I missed the first bus and the second one took too long today” I explained. 

    “Oh okay, but I still think it’s pretty late!” Neil said and I sighed, “If you think so, and you should be glad I’m late cause we wouldn’t have met each other if I didn’t miss the bus.” 

     Neil smiled. “You’re right, we wouldn’t, I mean I was just driving, I was so focused on the road, but I don’t know why, but I decided to look at the people waiting at the bus terminal, and under the lights, there you were, sitting on the waiting bench looking like Elsa, I was shocked at first doubting it wasn’t you, but then you sighed and looked at my car making me see your face even clearly and I couldn’t believe my eyes”. 

    “Well that’s good to hear” I said. 

    “So you said you just started the job, so can I ask what kind of job it is?” 

     Neil and questions. 

    “I teach!” I said plainly. 

    “Really? Wow!” he smiled. 

    “Is it like a private tutor or you teach a whole-

    “A private tutor!” I cut him off.

    “Wow that is pretty nice!” Neil blurted and I smiled. 

    “So how about you what do you do?” it’s time for my questions. 

    “Oh” he smiled. “I help my dad run one of his small firm now!” 

    Small firm.?? Is he crazy.! His dad own one of the biggest cosmetics industry and other firms too which I can’t even consider as small. And look at Neil calling it small. 

    “Wow!” I smiled. 

    His life is so great.  

     

     “So.? Are you in college?” I asked. 

    “Oh, college, I’m actually going to be graduating next week! My graduation party is on the line!” he explained. 

     Oh wow! 

    Wow! 

    I’m jealous, I haven’t even smell the C in college nevertheless graduating. 

    Neil is financially stable and working with his dad now, done with college. Wow. 

    “Oh that’s good!” I giggled. 

    “How about you, are you in college?” He asked. 

    I hesitated “I am… not” I said and he glanced at me. 

    “What? Why?” 

    “Well just… Because of some personal reasons.” I sighed, I can’t tell him I’m not financially stable yet for college. 

    “Oh okay!” he breathed out and we both remained quiet 

     He starts to ask me about other things that’s not related to my personal life though. 

      We both looked around and talked things we saw on our way and then it led to another subject and then another subject related to our high school days. 

     Finally Neil got in front of my house and I knew he wanted to get the door for me but I beat him to it. He smiled nervously as he got to me seeing I got the door myself. 

     “Okay Neil, thank you” I said, actually out of words.

    “It’s no problem i am so glad I ran into you today, it’s been four years now and I have lost all contact with you, I thick Rick told me you moved, he said he once saw another family coming out from your house one day and since that day I assumed you moved, and forgot about me. But I’m glad you’re still here!” He grinned and I laughed thinking about the part where he said, another family coming out from my house. 

    “Nope we are here to stay and not ready to leave anytime soon,” I giggled. 

    “Well that’s great news!” Neil smiled. 

    “Okay then, I’ll be leaving now” I sighed. 

    “Before you go, can I get your contact, the first one is no more!” He laughed nervously. 

    “Oh yeah, my phone got stolen” I replied and took his phone from him, which he gladly handed out, I typed in my number and gave it to me. 

    “Okay thanks, at least we’ll be keeping in touch.” he smiled and I nodded. 

    “Yeah,” 

    “Okay good night Elsa, have a sweet night!” he said as he opened the car door and got in. 

    “You too” And with a small wave I gave him, I saw his car driving out of the yard. 

    *. 

     I laid on my bed and sighed heavily, oh Neil. Sweet as always. 

     I remembered when I used to crush on him back then, I think he noticed or I’m not sure, but that was then. 

      I got up from my bed and lazily went to take a hot bath. 

     My dad and I had dinner again that night and my mom already fell asleep early again. So which made my dad and I ate dinner together again. 

     That night as I dressed my bed I revieved a call. And it was Neil, he said he just called to tell me one more good night. 

    And honestly that was nice of him,         I enjoyed his voice through the phone. 

     That night I slept soundly like a baby and I know it sounds weird but I kept hearing Neil’s voice saying good night

    -*-

      The next day, I did my morning routine and found myself watching TV and I think the movie I was watch was so boring, I fell asleep. 

      Thankfully I woke up in time to get ready for my job and by three, I found myself at the Huggins residence. 

    Getting used to this house already. 

     I walked in the living room and I heard Mrs Huggins sweet voice called out to my name and I turned to her to pour out my greetings. 

     She told me Jason was in his room and asked me about the lesson, I told her it was going great and how Jason has been listening and doing better, even far more than better. 

      I got to Jason’s room and I found him seated behind the desk and playing with his phone. 

    “Hey Jason.” I called for his attention when I closed his door. 

    “You’re here!” he said disappointed. 

     I rolled my eyes and walked up to him. 

    “A little good afternoon would have been nice.” I said as I dropped my bag on his desk. 

    “Good morning” he said to irk me. 

    “Well as long as there is a ‘good’ at the beginning, it’s a good start”. I smiled and pulled out my books and dropped it in front of him. 

     I brought out everything but he didn’t make a phone to learn which made me grab his phone from his hand. 

    He wanted to protest about his phone but with one horrifying glare for me, he sighed and grabbed his pen.

     I started on a topic as always explained it to him and I can’t believe this, like what am I doing here!? Well I’m here for the money but Jason is seriously smart. His smart ass made it easier for the both of us as we made it to the next question in no time. 

     We made it to the most difficult questions which made Jason stop to think for some time before writing it down and all in conclusion, he got the answers correctly.

     Jason was attempting to a question which I just explained when my phone starts to ring and I suddenly had second thoughts about changing my ringtone. 

     I picked up my phone and said a little hello and was glad when Jason paid no attention to me. 

    “HI Elsa.” I heard Neil’s voice. 

    “Oh, Neil, hi how are you?” I replied, wow! 

    He called again. 

    “I’m great, how are you doing this fun evening!” he asked. 

    “Not fun for me but it’s okay!” I giggled. 

    “Oh well as for me I just took a break off to call you, just wanted to know how you’re doing.” 

    “I’m working now and I’m fine.” I smiled. 

    “Good to hear, so how about your student is he or she complying with you?” Neil asked. 

    “Well…” I looked at Jason. “He is complying lately, thankfully” I said 

    “Oh okay” Neil was quiet for a brief moment before saying. 

    “So Elsa I’ve been wondering if you would like to have dinner with me sometime.” Neil said. 

    “Dinner? I don’t really have time to make show up at dinners cause I leave here at seven pm.” I said. 

    “Like not just a regular dinner, A date dinner. Or is that too soon?” he laughed, I could feel the nervousness in his voice. 

     

    “No it’s okay, The idea of date night isn’t that bad!” I tell him. 

    “Oh thank God!” he breathed a sigh of relief. 

    “So when should be the date, when do you think it’s best to go on this date!” He asked. 

    “Uhm… Tomorrow?” I said. 

    “Wow! Okay tomorrow isn’t that bad.!” He said. 

    Jason turned to me, and I guess he was done. 

    “Okay then tomorrow it is!” I said. 

    “Okay have a great day!”.

    “You too” 

     I ended the call. 

    “Your boyfriend?” Jason smirked. 

    “Mind your business and pass me your book!” I said and he rolled his eyes and handed me his book for me to check his work. 

    “I was just asking a simple question” Jason scoffed. 

    “Okay fine he’s not my boyfriend. Satisfied?” I huffed. 

    “So you guys are going on a date tomorrow?” Jason asked inquisitively. 

    “Seriously, are you going to question me now?” I sighed. 

    “It’s just a simple question.”

    “you heard the whole phone call, now just shut up and let me focus.” I huffed and turned to his book, to see all his answers wrong. 

    “You failed it all! I’m disappointed in you!” I said slamming the book on the desk. 

    “Being disappointed in me doesn’t change anything, now explain the question again” Jason said and I felt like slapping the back of his head and I actually did. 

    “Ouch!” he said 

    “Don’t order me around.” I yelled. 

    “I just said explain the question I didn’t order you!” he yelled back. 

    “Then how come your question sound like a command?” I blurted. 

    “Probably because you imagined it that way, my parents haven’t hit me like this before who are you to–.

     I believed my glare stopped him from completing his sentence. 

    “Now let’s continue with our work!” I said and he sighed with his normal annoying eye roll. 

    “Now focus!” I said as I dragged my chair closer to his and grabbed his pen. 

    “Can you ever stop yelling!” He scoffed.

    She hit the door repeatedly but no answer came.

    She wasn’t going to give up until her husband comes out.

    Zain continued hitting loudly.

    Chief Dre was in Opa’s chamber with her. He ignored Zain as she kept hitting none stop.

    “Please go and find out what she wants. She will tear down the door if you don’t answer her Dre.

    Opa said calmly..

    Dre replied.

    “Zain drives me crazy, why can’t she respect the fact that I’m in here with you. Why did the gods even allowed me to get married to her. Opa, if I knew I wouldn’t have gone for a second wife. You were enough for me and still enough but my quest for a son drove me into her arms. I totally regrets it. She gives everyone problem and very unrepentant with her faults. Oh Opa… you make me so happy with your tolerance and maturity, the way you handles everything with Zain is beyond words. I envy your patience…Queen of my heart. I wonder how you manage to remain calm despite all her drama….

    Opa urged Dre to go and open the door.

    Dre went and opened the door.

    Zain barged in immediately without care.

    “Chief Dre why are you doing this to me? Did I force you to come and marry me? I’m young, beautiful, smart and think faster than lady Opa. What do you want in her that I don’t have yet you will rather bury your head in her bossom. I want you all by myself, I want you to spend every waking morning with me… you are my husband. I hate to share you with any other woman. Yes, it disgust me so much that I have to share my husband. I want you in my chamber tonight Chief, just like yesterday. the weather is calm and cool. My husband should be wrapping his arms around me in bed not leaving me to another woman’s chamber.

    Opa sat on her bed watching Zain without a word.

    Dre quickly cautioned her.

    “Watch your tongue Zain. Opa is not another woman. Is because of all this your dirty attitude that made me stay away from you. you asked me to come to your chamber to help massage your waist yesterday night and did and even more. I did everything you asked of me Zain. Just this night that I want to spend with Opa…. and you came again troubling our tranquility. What do you want?

    Zain clapped her hands together dramatically and before saying.

    “I want you…not just yesterday but everyday. Lady Opa can’t give you what I will give to you. She is not what she appears to be. She killed our son due to jealousy. If you don’t take caution she may hurt you. Mark my words tonight. Come let us go to my chamber, if not I won’t move an inch from here.

    Opa asked Dre to follow Zain but Dre refused.

    “Okay, since you want to watch Opa and I in bed, I will be delighted to open the show in your honor. Watch how I will cuddle up Opa tightly in my arms and if you trouble me I will send the guards to drag you out.

    Dre started moving towards Opa’s bed.

    Zain angrily stormed out after swearing under breath.

    The following day, she decided to go and visit Tira, Mario’s second wife who had become her gossip partner.

    When Mario saw her coming, he smiled within himself.

    Zain has finally seen a way to hurt Opa and Dre, her ungrateful husband.

    Kaya was still with her sister in another kingdom.

    “I tried everything I can, his sister, his mother and uncle tried also but is all the same. They look at me as if is my fault Kaya. They whisper within themselves, even lady Maran, his sister who used to be close kept a distance. I heard her telling someone that her only brother shouldn’t die or all hell will break loose in this family… Kaya, the gods sees my heart… They know I have never hurt anyone in my life. Why would I even do this to my husband, the father of my lovely children. The gods has blessed us with two sons and this beautiful daughter who is not up to two years. I remembered you told me that I will have two sons and a daughter, Kaya. I remember some of the things you said and is finally happening. I don’t know what to do anymore…my husband must not die…

    Maya cried out.

    Kaya looked at her sister sadly.

    “, You took everything I told you in the past with a pinch of salt forgetting that it was the gods that were speaking through me. You forgot all the instructions and started living a care free life when you arrived here. You opened your heart up to everyone who smiled with you or acted as a friend. Maya, did you follow the instructions I gave you concerning your husband, The things I asked you to do immediately he falls sick? because you wouldn’t be crying heavily now if you di….

    Maya interrupted.

    “I did…. everything. I urinated inside a cup and sprinkled all over his body just like you instructed. But the sickness worsen instead. I urinated again and took some in my hands and even touch both eyes…I sprinkled repeatedly untill the whole place started smelling of urine I have to clean it up. I did what you asked me to do but It never worked. I can’t watch him die please, he can’t eat, he can’t speak, the wound on his leg is spreading fast to other parts of his body and is not a sight to behold. They think is my fault… they blames me for this. His mother brought a native doctor to check him but after few days the old medicine man said the sickness is beyond him. His uncle also brought another medicine man but no improvement. Three medicine men from both his mother and uncle has come and go leaving him the same way they met him. Everyone has given up except me. I have pleaded to the gods to spare his life but my plea fell on deaf ears. Everyone is against me even the gods. After doing all you asked me to do and no improvement, I decided to send for you Kaya. I’m sorry that I didn’t take you serious Kaya. I doubted how the gods could speak through you…I never believed that my younger sister has the ear of the gods and can speak things into existence. Please, is there another thing we can do… anything at all I will do. Plead to the gods on my behalf Kaya… my sweet loving husband can’t die…no, no. I’m too young to be a widow. I don’t want to be a widow and make enemies that will hunt me for the rest of my life.

    Kaya bent her head in deep thought as her elder sister cries out.

    She looked up at her and said.

    “Maya… you did everything I asked you to do but in a wrong way. You didn’t follow the instructions. The antidote was just at your fingers tip but you got carried away and forgot everything I ever said concerning all of this. Your husband’s sickness has escalated and I pray that the gods will be merciful and not pay heed to your doubtful heart.

    Kaya repeated the instructions to her sister.

    “Urinate into a calabash, take a feather and sprinkle the urine on your husband’s leg where the unknown injury started. His leg was what he used to step on the charm, that is why you have to sprinkle on his leg alone and not every part of his body. Only his legs Maya…

    Maya quickly did as Kaya instructed but there was no improvement.

    Kaya who was supposed to travel back to Zukumo have to stay as she beseeched the gods for their mercies.

    Kaya wake up that morning and knew something was not right.

    Zukumo kingdom was calling her to return.

    Somebody is in danger. She didn’t know who in particular but the person was calling her to come home.

    She told Maya that she needs to travel back to Zukumo but Maya started crying while begging her to stay.

    Her husband’s condition was still critical and Kaya was still waiting for answers from the gods since Maya’s mistake has caused so much harm on her husband.

    She failed to follow the right instructions and now it seems late.

    Kaya kept hoping that the gods will give her answer soon because her sister’s husband was drying off with each passing day and Zukumo kingdom beckoned her to return home.

Why would I even do this to my husband, the father of my lovely children. The gods has blessed us with two sons and this beautiful daughter who is not up to two years. I remembered you told me that I will have two sons and a daughter, Kaya. I remember some of the things you said and is finally happening. I don’t know what to do anymore…my husband must not die…

    Maya cried out.

    Kaya looked at her sister sadly.

    “, You took everything I told you in the past with a pinch of salt forgetting that it was the gods that were speaking through me. You forgot all the instructions and started living a care free life when you arrived here. You opened your heart up to everyone who smiled with you or acted as a friend. Maya, did you follow the instructions I gave you concerning your husband, The things I asked you to do immediately he falls sick? because you wouldn’t be crying heavily now if you di….

    Maya interrupted.

    “I did…. everything. I urinated inside a cup and sprinkled all over his body just like you instructed. But the sickness worsen instead. I urinated again and took some in my hands and even touch both eyes…I sprinkled repeatedly untill the whole place started smelling of urine I have to clean it up. I did what you asked me to do but It never worked. I can’t watch him die please, he can’t eat, he can’t speak, the wound on his leg is spreading fast to other parts of his body and is not a sight to behold. They think is my fault… they blames me for this. His mother brought a native doctor to check him but after few days the old medicine man said the sickness is beyond him. His uncle also brought another medicine man but no improvement. Three medicine men from both his mother and uncle has come and go leaving him the same way they met him. Everyone has given up except me. I have pleaded to the gods to spare his life but my plea fell on deaf ears. Everyone is against me even the gods. After doing all you asked me to do and no improvement, I decided to send for you Kaya. I’m sorry that I didn’t take you serious Kaya. I doubted how the gods could speak through you…I never believed that my younger sister has the ear of the gods and can speak things into existence. Please, is there another thing we can do… anything at all I will do. Plead to the gods on my behalf Kaya… my sweet loving husband can’t die…no, no. I’m too young to be a widow. I don’t want to be a widow and make enemies that will hunt me for the rest of my life.

    Kaya bent her head in deep thought as her elder sister cries out.

    She looked up at her and said.

    “Maya… you did everything I asked you to do but in a wrong way. You didn’t follow the instructions. The antidote was just at your fingers tip but you got carried away and forgot everything I ever said concerning all of this. Your husband’s sickness has escalated and I pray that the gods will be merciful and not pay heed to your doubtful heart.

    Kaya repeated the instructions to her sister.

    “Urinate into a calabash, take a feather and sprinkle the urine on your husband’s leg where the unknown injury started. His leg was what he used to step on the charm, that is why you have to sprinkle on his leg alone and not every part of his body. Only his legs Maya…

    Maya quickly did as Kaya instructed but there was no improvement.

    Kaya who was supposed to travel back to Zukumo have to stay as she beseeched the gods for their mercies.

    Kaya wake up that morning and knew something was not right.

    Zukumo kingdom was calling her to return.

    Somebody is in danger. She didn’t know who in particular but the person was calling her to come home.

    She told Maya that she needs to travel back to Zukumo but Maya started crying while begging her to stay.

    Her husband’s condition was still critical and Kaya was still waiting for answers from the gods since Maya’s mistake has caused so much harm on her husband.

    She failed to follow the right instructions and now it seems late.

    Kaya kept hoping that the gods will give her answer soon because her sister’s husband was drying off with each passing day and Zukumo kingdom beckoned her to return home.

    After the second glance, she rolled her eyes disappointed.

    “I know you? I thought it was something more when I saw the bushes moving… Maybe like strange animals. You are the Chief’s daughter. What in the gods name are you doing here by this time?

    The baby in her hand began to whimper. She dropped the bundle on the ground filled with dry leaves.

    “I was sent here to warn you. Desist from every form of evil and blood shed because soon your cup of wrong doing will be overfull…

    The woman laughed it off.

    She took another step closer to Kaya.

    “In this village i do whatever pleases me. I have a higher authority. This strong Calibre of men will protect me if things goes wrong. Your father, the Chief can not do anything to me. What exactly will happen to me?? Why do you think you can come here and threaten me. Your father’s reign will soon be overshadowed by the man that we have been waiting for. Romo, Lord Mario’s son will take over soon and there’s nothing your father can do about it…is unfortunate he doesn’t have any male child to succeed him. Isn’t that sad for your entire family…

    Kaya watched her talk but did nothing.

    The woman continued talking.

    Kaya later interrupted as she moved close to where the baby who has quiet down from crying lay.

    As she looked into the weaved basket she said..

    ” Who’s baby is this? Where did you get the baby from?

    Kaya asked angrily as she bent over to pick up the baby but the woman stopped her.

    “How and where I got the baby is none of your business. I’m here to carry out my assignment and you are too little to stop me. I know the day that your mother, lady Opa, gave birth to you. I was there…I and one older midwife foresee the delivery. Your mother laboured all night till morning. You gave her a tough time. Everyone thought you were going to be a man. Villagers stood outside delivery house, singing and dancing as they waited for your arrival but unfortunately you were cursed from birth. After the whole stress and sleepless nights that you gave not just your parents but others too, you came out as a baby girl. I was as angry as hell…I told your mother that let’s strangle you with the cord because of all the whole disappointing faces that will greet you when they hear that you are a girl. She refused…I gave another suggestion that they should switch you with the village town crier’s baby boy, his wife also gave birth same day but your stubborn mother refused. She held you very close as if you mean anything to anyone. You were just another baby girl who doesn’t count. Your sister is married, very soon you too will follow her steps. Rumor has it that you are seen in the wood, resting on trees or settling an unsolicited score in the village. You are lucky that you haven’t crossed me, I’m not an easy meat to chew. I would have bury your pretty face to the wall and see what your father will do. Mario is my backing and he has given authority to all his supporters, he asked them to do whatever they want…no harm will come to them. So on that note… I’m very free to do as I please neither you nor your father can stop me.

    Kaya smiled and began to stretch her arm dramatically.

    ” I wonder why mother or any one never told me this interesting story concerning my birth. I applaud you greatly for such a nice tale… mainly how you wished to strangle me to death all because I wasn’t what the villagers wished for. I guess that’s what you came to do to this sweet innocent soul… mainly because she was also a disappointment to you and her foolish parent… either to her mother or father who allowed this. I didn’t get your name my Lady.?

    ” My name is lady Didi. Your parents probably didn’t tell you because they were afraid that it will make you sad but who cares. You are still useless as when you were born… your mother failed you. She refused to give me the privilege of putting an end to you. You are causing more problem to the villagers. Some actually applaud your bravery while others like myself condemns the stupid thing they called bravery. Is mainly foolishness for a girl child to be acting like a heroin… like a man. Only men deserves such honor. Quit all this nonsense before it lands you into serious problem. Anyway, I’m glad we had this conversation…now, let me finish up why I’m here, the night is covering up the surface.

    Kaya gasped out and said.

    “Unfortunately… as much as I do not count in the world of men I’m still the female child who will beat a follow female for cruelly trying to dispose another female. Isn’t that ironic? Lady Didi I will flog you so long and hard untill you plea for mercy…

    Didi sighed and ignored her. As she bent over to pick up the baby who started crying again something strong and hard hit her waist.

    She quickly fell over and held her waist in pain.

    Kaya didn’t leave, she hit her again with a stick and repeatedly untill Didi started screaming for help.

    Kaya began to laugh sarcastically

    “Oh…oh what was that? Are you in pain… do you need help? I should leave you here like you came to do to this baby but I won’t, you know why? Because I’m the first of my kind. I’m the kind of lady you should never mess with. Pass this warning round and let those giving you a backbone beware because I will soon get to them. Pick up the baby, wrap her up properly and Carry her like she is your only hope to life.

    Didi try to protest but Kaya lifted the stick, threatening to hit her again.

    “Her mother doesn’t want her. She already has a daughter and said her husband will be mad and may take another wife if he finds out that she gave birth to another girl. We have lied to the man that the baby didn’t survive after birth. His wife is enjoying his comfort as we speak. everything will change if I take her back…. I’m not doing this on my own accord, her mother approved of it. I’m only helping her save her face from shame.

    Kaya looked at her angrily.

    “Since you have already started with helping women save their faces from shame by disposing their female children, I think is time to take this”help” thing to a different level. My lady, you will help in training this baby girl since you assumed that her parents doesn’t want her. You will have to complete this whole helping plans by bringing up this child like yours. Carry the baby right now… and do it like she is the most valuable thing that you ever posses in your entire life. Do it now”

    At Kaya’s command, Didi carried the baby up.

    she stood and almost fell back as she held onto her knee.

    “…Since you can’t carry the baby due to your almost broken knee, I will help you out by carrying this child to your house while you lead the way. I will keep a close check by showing up in your house surprisingly, when you never expected just to make sure the baby is doing fine. Mind you, if anything dares happen to her, you will have me and the gods to answer to. I will even expose your evil acts to the villagers after I must have given you enough dust to take as meal. Don’t worry over the baby’s supplies, I will be helping out with that.

    Didi remain speechless as she lead the way.

    After the encounter with Didi, Kaya began to keep a closer look on the villagers especially the female child.

    She was able to save more children who were either about to be sold off or married off at a tender age.

    She took some of the children to Didi to take care of with more supplies.

    Kaya involved Lady Rigi and another woman who has no child of her own

    She asked them to work with Didi in taking care of this children and they gladly accept.

    Kaya continued to put the villagers in order.

    Those who went against her were thoroughly dealt with.

    She didn’t spare the men among them.

    None could beat her down no matter how they tried.

    Her news was flying round and even got to the chief of Zukumo, her father.

    Her mother spoke to her one-day

    “Kaya my daughter. You can’t be going round the village acting like a hero. Such title is befitting men. There have never been a female heroin that we know or can relate with. You are a woman not a man. Quit acting like a man and stop all this rumour I’m hearing every where…

    “Mama, I’m not doing this to receive an applaud from anyone or to be a heroine. I’m doing what many failed to do. I’m doing what is required of me. I’m doing this because I can’t watch evil go unpunished or a girl child mistreated. Zukumo failed it’s people in the past, which is why a female is not valued. The gods put it in my heart to save the girls from further trouble roaming around them…. and that is what I must do Mama. Nobody can talk me out of this….not even father.

    Opa was trying to hold back her smile, she gave in to it as she watch her daughter spoke out boldly

    “I…I must say I’m very proud of the woman you have become. Relentless, bold, strong, kind and having the favor of the gods. I pray the gods guide you at all time. I will give you more supplies to take to the girls camp that you started. You are doing great Kaya but be careful or your father will give your hand in marriage to a man more quicker than usual…

    Chief Dre called his daughter to speak to her

    “What do you think you’re doing Kaya? Because I’m a chief doesn’t give you the right to go round the village doing what is not required of you. It has been brought to my attention that you are settling scores that doesn’t concern you and even has a girl’s camp. All of this your stories must have been caused by idleness… not having anything to engage yourself with. I’m still in search of a good man to marry you off so that by the time you start having children you won’t have any more time to waste…

    He was still talking when Zain came and interrupt him.

    “Her age mates are already in husband’s house. What is she still doing here… I thought by now you would have handed her over to a man for marriage. I hope the man that will marry her gives her a black eye because she is stubborn, stiff-necked, arrogant, disrespectful and the list goes on. Still seeing her here is begining to irritate me…I must confess.

    Chief Dre turned to her and said.

    “She is my daughter Zain. No Man dares touch her or give her a black eye. Having said that… please don’t get involve whenever I’m having a personal conversation with any of my daughters. Don’t interrupt me next time. I hate to be interrupted…

    “But I’m your wife. What concerns you also concerns me. Since Kaya is giving the entire village trouble which you aren’t happy neither am I. is better we scold her together since her mother failed as a mother to bring her up properly…

    Zain said while rollin her eyes at Kaya.

    Dre cautioned Zain immediately.

    “Don’t talk about Opa like that. She is a good mother and a good wife. She is your senior in everything….give her the respect that is deserving of her.

    “I’m also your wife. And I feel hurt when you don’t applaud me like you do for opa. How can you even be scolding me in front of this spoilt brat when you know I’m carrying a son for you. I’m pregnant with a son and you don’t feel the need to mind what you say to me. I’m giving you a male child, what lady Opa failed to give you and the best you can do is to scold me instead of loving and supporting me at all times. I’m out of here…

    She walked away leaving Dre and Kaya . Dre tried calling her but Zain ignored him.

    Kaya also turned and was about going but her father’s voice halt her.

    “Kaya… do you see how you are bringing problem between your step mother and I? She is pregnant and carrying a son… she confirmed that already. What your mother failed to give me, Zain is about to make it happen. All I require of you is to always make her happy until my son is finally born….

    Kaya waited until her father was done talking before she took a bow and said.

    “,…I didn’t want to say this before so that I don’t squash your little hope but let me tell you father. Lady Zain is not pregnant, she knew what will keep you gumed to her so she came up with this whole pregnancy thing with a male child. Few weeks from now she will claim that she suffered a miscarriage and will blame it on Mama. Father, you are a good man and will make a great Chief if you applied wisdom to your leadership. You can’t make a great leader when you fail to rule well as a husband to your wives or father to your children. Your home is where leadership start from. helping to organize things in the village is what is required of you father…. I’m only assisting you. If you are not strong or careful your uncle will kick you out of the throne with just a snap of his finger. He’s gathering followers and poisoning their minds towards you. Father you need to do more than having a large appetit for a male child. You have to rule well like your fathers did in the past. Your worries for a son distracts your leadership and you are begining to fail even in the little things. But the gods has favored you by bringing me for such a time as this. You may not understand all of this yet but eventually you will…. you will definitely understand soon father.

    Kaya turned and left him standing.

    Few weeks later, Zain started carrying face for opa.

    She doesn’t greet her or respond to her greeting

    She complained to few people that she miscarried few months pregnancy that was supposed to be a boy.

    Zain said it was Opa that made her lost her baby.

    Dre was begining to see that everything Kaya said was coming true.

    He started paying attention to her more than before.

    Zain didn’t fail to paint Opa bad with any given opportunity.

    She continued to cry about miscarrying her baby boy that supposed to be heir to the throne of Zukumo kingdom.

    Before the midwife will rush down Opa was no more

    Lula thought of all the ideas that Didi was bringing but none was favorable.

    And with the way Opa held onto her baby it won’t be easy convincing her.

    She won’t buy into the idea.

    Is quiet obvious that she wasn’t ready to trade her girl child for anything.

    The knock on the door was becoming more and more intense.

    It wasn’t just one person knocking, they were more than one on the door.

    Lula moved closer to Opa’s bed side.

    Opa who’s eye was fully on the baby looked up and said.

    “I hope you are not coming to me with any filthy ideas?

    Lula gasped out.

    She looks tired and worried at the same time.

    “,My lady, I only wanted to ask what exactly is your plan? I will stand with whatever you want… Despite how disappointing it is for the villagers who have been out there since morning singing while waiting for the new born whom they thought will be a male, despite it all I’m here for you and will stand with whatever you decide.

    Opa looked from Lula standing beside her beside to Didi who was at a far end, with hand in akimbo style.

    She was obviously boiling from either anger or from frustration.

    “Thank you Lula for this, it means a lot to me. No harm will come to my child as far as I’m alive and anybody who dares to do otherwise will be contending with me. I will face the villagers, bear the shame. The shame is my full cross to carry. But I won’t stand down for anybody to make jokes with any girl child of mine. Please open the door. The several knocks is almost driving me insane…

    “Alright my Lady. Remember… I’m with you on this.

    As Lula moved to open the door Didi stopped her.

    “You are worsening the whole situation Lula. I couldn’t hear everything she said but I heard yours. That wasn’t what we agreed on. Why will you even be encouraging her, she disappointed everybody with that child of hers and still proving stubborn to those trying to help out. She deserves every bashing and any awaiting trouble that she will face. I expected you to team up with me let’s make her comply to the ideas but instead you went there supporting her when you know she doesn’t deserve any form of support or encouragement. I wash my hands off everything that got to do with her or the baby…

    Lula frowned at Didi. She did not hide her anger towards the tongue wagging young colleague of hers.

    “You make all this seems like is her fault. Channel your disappointment to the gods because they are the ones that gives children and if they choose a female child instead of the expected prince… who are you to question them. Look, her decision stand and I’m supporting her every wish. Is very okay if you don’t want to be part of it…

    Lula started moving to open the door.

    Didi was talking but she ignored her.

    “Maybe the gods did not find her worthy to be a mother to the next Chief of Zukumo land. All of this is her fault because if she was inwardly and outwardly clean the gods could have favored her but even the gods are disappointed in her. The moment you open that door Lula, all hell will break loose… everyone will know and darkness will befall on the whole land with the sad news of the birth… Is better I leave here before people start fussing and cussing. I will never be part of this… the blame will be on you and heavily on that baby girl and her mother who stubbornly refused to switch her baby for a male or buy into any of the suggestion I raised…

    Didi kept talking and did not care if Opa can hear her or not.

    Lula opened the door and Dre with his mother rushed in.

    “, The opening of the door was almost taking forever. Where’s my wife and my son?

    Dre asked rather in a rush.

    Lula pointed towards the inner curtain where they are.

    Dre rushed to where Opa lay, a beautiful baby was wrapped up beside her and sleeping.

    His mother followed him behind.

    When Opa saw her husband coming, her heart beat increased.

    She tried to stay calm and strong for her baby.

    Dre smiled as he caressed Opa’s arm in a loving way.

    Bambira, Dre’s mother looked at Opa and said.

    “Thanks to the gods for safe a delivery. Everyone was worried sick. I will tell the maids to prepare asen soup with dry black fish and enough sissi leaf for you…

    Opa looked up at Dre, he was staring at the baby.

    “He…he is so handsome. I could have say “very beautiful” but such expression are meant for a female. Thank you Opa for birthing the next chief of Zukumo. A great Chief who will rule after me. You made me proud and every person out there who has been looking forward to welcoming him into our kingdom. Mario will not have words to taunt me neither will anybody who never believed that a chief will come from my loin.

    He touched the baby’s forehead with full smile.

    Opa turned and looked at Bambira, her mother in-law.

    Bambira returned the look, her expression was very obvious.

    Opa knew that her mother inlaw knew even without being told.

    Dre continued fantasizing over the baby.

    “…I was almost loosing my patient as I stood outside knocking with no answer. Thanks to the gods for their kindness…They have blessed me with a son. I have a name for him already and I can’t wait any longer to bless him with his name. I call him Pasim Kuvi…I name him after my father. The 12th Chief of Zukumo kingdom…

    Opa derived courage from her mother inlaw who was squeezing her shoulder gently.

    she was silently telling her to be strong for the unforseen things.

    Whenever she looks at her she smiled down at her with another firm squeeze.

    Opa spoke up courageously, interrupting Dre, her excited husband.

    “Why don’t we name her Bambi Kaya after your mother. Dre…is a baby girl… not a boy. I’m sorry…but this what God blessed us and the entire land of Zukumo with….we can’t question him but thank him for this precious gift.

    Dre pause for a second.

    His facial happy expression changed immediately.

    He withdraw his hand from the baby.

    “A whaaat… another girl??. No…no…no. this can’t be. This cannot be happening. It can’t be….no..no. tell me is a joke. Opa is a joke right???

    He looked at Opa waiting for an answer but Opa didn’t say anything. He looked up at his mother but she has nothing much to say either except.

    “Drema just like your wife said, a child is a gift to mankind… every child is special. They come with different blessings….

    Dre quickly spoke interrupting his mother.

    “Mama, not a girl child. Every child is special indeed but what is really special about a girl to royalty. She can’t rule or be found among elders. I…I don’t know mother… this is definitely not what the gods showed me. The gods have dealt harshly with me. They have exposed me to my enemies…my face is in the dust. I have nothing to boast off…I…

    Dre turned and stormed out of the room.

    Didi gently followed him behind.

    As he came out he went straight into the wood without answering the villagers.

    His actions left the villagers wondering.

    The singing and rejoicing died down.

    Mario and his second wife, Tira with some other villagers who are supporting them, were sitting in front of the palace when Dre walked past ignoring all the questions thrown at him from the villagers.

    Mario with his wife held back there joyous laughter.

    They don’t know what the problem is.

    Is either the baby is a girl or is a boy but dead.

    They waited for more news.

    The villagers were anxiously waiting for answer.

    They wanted to know what was going on.

    They looked up and saw Didi, one of the midwives coming.

    She was the one that filled them all concerning the gender of the child.

    The villagers were totally disappointed.

    They started leaving group by group, one after the other with some gossip to go round the kingdom.

    The laughter that Mario and his wife Tira with some of their supporters have been holding in burst out.

    They went into their house to finish the whole laughter.

    As they entered inside, Mario beckoned on Romo, his son..

    “Son, prepare for your soon to be coronation because you will definitely be the next Chief of Zukumo. Dre’s wife gave him another girl which means the gods are looking at our end with smile. Dre wouldn’t want to marry another wife and he will be afraid to try again with his good for nothin wife…he will be really afraid because is obvious that is only female eggs that filled up her womb. The chieftaincy door is gradually opening on our behalf… may the gods be praise….hahahahaha…

    He laughed and Tira joined him.

    Romo sat looking at them.

    “Why aren’t you laughing Romo? I said that Dre’s wife gave birth to another hen…a girl child. Which means that..

    Romo interrupted his father…

    “… which means that I may probably be the next chief of Zukumo land. I get it father…I know. Is just that I don’t find Lady Opa giving birth to a baby girl funny… pardon me but is not funny….

    “May the gods strike that your stupid mouth for being an ungrateful child. Look at how the gods are paving ways for you and instead of you to rejoice with me, your mother and everyone giving you their full support you are here talking rubbish. I have worked so hard in preparing you to be the next chief of this land, don’t make me regret it. Don’t make all my efforts to be in vain. Don’t dare me Romo or you will regret it for the rest of your Life.Tira, talk to your son or I will talk to him in a way that he will hate himself…

    Mario stormed out angrily.

    Opa later left the birth house with her mother inlaw who stood by her side and Lula the midwife too.

    She was surprised to see few villagers still waiting for her outside the birth house.

    Among them was Salabi, Mario’s first wife.

    ” Wow! Are you sure you are not going on a date after work sis?” Cory asked glancing at me suspiciously

    ” Of course not, I’m going to work and will be back here by 6 ” I replied narrowing my eyes at him ..

    What makes him thinks so? And going on a date with a ghost?

    How considerate. I wasn’t having any money on me truly..

    ” Yeah sure, my company is that way too” 

    ” Come in ” he gestured as I entered into to the car. ..

    ” You look beautiful Roxy ” he complimented while I look down shyly.. I don’t normally dress in a body hugging clothes because of my curve … It is a killer … And now I have to because of the nature of my job, no my boss …

    ” Thanks ” I muttered

    ” You did dress like your boss said, I’m sure his lips will go dry when he sets his eyes on you. The feelings will come rushing back itself”  he said chuckling ..

    ” That’s not going to happen you know, he hates me so much ” I said a bit sad ….

    I don’t know why Rex didn’t listened to me. 

    Is he back together with Marcus? I think that’s my problem right now. I destroyed their bond because of my stupid mistake

    ” Hate ? Well, let’s see but.. never mind ” he smiled at me and I rolled my eyes..

    ” We are here ” he announced. I alighted from the car.

    ” Thank you Adam ” 

    ” Stop thanking me beautiful, no thanks in friendship. And my regards to your boss, tell him I love him so much ” he said making me laugh… 

    I’m not crazy to deliver that message..

    ” That will only happen in your dreams because it can’t even appear in mine ” 

    ” Very funny, anyways. I will come around at lunch, take care ” he said and left while I entered into the company …

    ……..

     I think I might fall down with all this stares. Have I told you I hate unnecessary attention? Gosh! It makes my legs twist and I might fall down like a clown …..

    The stares nearly bore hole into my body. They should get used to it though, I didn’t create myself to be curvy and Mr CEO won’t let me dress the way I want ..

    ” Oh my goodness you look so pretty Roxanne ” Julia squealed

    ” Thanks Julia and morning ” I replied smiling widely

    ” Morning baby girl, the way you look so hot. Don’t let my boyfriend see you please, he might dump me immediately ” she dramatised and I chuckled…

    Who’s even her boyfriend? Even if he comes, I won’t date him. I’m not ready to go into a relationship. It’s stress, I can’t be scared of making friends in case it will get my boyfriend mad ..

    ” You are funny Julia, I will see you during lunch. I need to get Mr King’s coffee ” I said dashing out to the coffee shop…

    I’m just 2minutes late so that shouldn’t be a problem 

                   Rex  

    ” Who’s there? ” I asked as I heard a knock

    ” It’s Miss Williams sir ” that voice, I will have to be hearing it everyday…

    I kept a straight face with cold expression.

    I checked the time and thank goodness! There is something I can use to humiliate her this morning. She’s 5minutes late 

    ” Come in ” I said and the door cracked opened…

    ” what did I tell you about coming late to the office Miss Will…. ” I trailed off seeing the sight in front of me…

    My mouth dropped and my eyes lustfully undressing her.. 

    She looks so very hot in this skirt. She is so beautiful gosh! Her curve is worth dieing for, she didn’t apply any makeup but looks extremely gorgeous

    It angered me that she dressed this revealing… Other men will see her this way….

    Wait! What’s my business if other men sees her? Not that she’s my girlfriend…

    My eyes glued to her body without blinking.. a full package. She really grew over the years… She wore a white button t-shirt with her cleavage a little opened. 

    I never knew she’s this beautiful….

    She cleared her throat snapping me out of my thought…

    Get a grip Rex, she’s the girl you despise.. I told myself..

    ” Good morning sir, I brought your coffee sir ” she dropped it on the desk with her head hung low …

    ” You can go ” I said forgetting what I was about telling her earlier. 

    I can’t let her continue to wear this, I might do something crazy….

    I think it’s better she wears her baggy clothes than this professional outfit..

    The thought of other men feeding on her boyfriend annoys me …

    📿 Roxanne 📿

    Wow! It’s good thing he drooled over me. At least it saved me from the punishment of being five minutes late..

    That’s a good step, I couldn’t help but chuckled in my mind when he stared lustfully at me ….

    I was coming out when I bumped Into someone.. A man 

    ” I’m sorry sir ” I said 

    ” It’s nothing daughter, you look so stunning” he said and I smiled… 

    ” Thank you sir ” 

    ” By the way, I’m Mr Kings, Rex’s Father ” 

    My goodness! Mr Kings? 

    ” Ah! I’m sorry sir, good morning”I greeted politely which made him chuckle.. Rex looks like him thou. I should have known 

    ” I don’t bite, just feel free” he said. I wish Rex will just be like him for once 

    ” Are you the new assistant?” He asked and I nodded

    ” Perfect! I was looking for you, in fact I can because I wanted to see you” my heart skipped on hearing that. Looking for me? Why? 

    ” H…hope there is no problem sir” I stuttered..

    ” Not at all but I have a business for you. I have heard about you and I know you will he suitable for this ” 

    A business? For me? Suitable for what?
