Chapter 2

Well, I don't have anything to say, please excuse me” Damilola said, and he left them in the garden and walked out to his friend's house Tobiloba,

"Why don't you find yourself some nice little white girl?" his friend had said, “It would have nice and command respect and It will also help your father's political career, and someone like me would have opportunities to have her friends as a life partner,” Tobiloba said,

“you and my father have the same mentality” Damilola, “how could you advise me to marry a white girl when you know that I have someone special In my heart?” he asked,

“the same mentality as how?“Tobiloba asked,

“my father wants me to choose a bride at the carnival festival, and he was telling me that he prefers Adefunke the daughter of Prince Badejo, though I have told him that I have someone in my heart,” Damilola said, “It's left for him,” Damilola said,

“It was all In a very tight and careful circle, chosen a bride on the highway corridors with a great deal, It is not easy, but you need to apply your common sense," Tobiloba said,

“Certainly there wasn't a decent-looking girl in the whole of chairman's circle, and the sight of a girl with flashing eyes and a nice pink lips, who was shaped a little like something besides a tree stump, was and hot-tempered girl which Is Adefunke, and she can pour acid on you within a twinkle of an eye If there is a single mistake of infidelity,” Damilola said,

“as for me, I can't marry from the corridor of power to become a slave I will watch out carefully before choosing a bride” Tobiloba, said,

“I prefer to marry from a less privilege family or settlers, those kinds of girls will cherish and adore you,” Damilola said, “though most of them had no background to speak of, but to me It doesn't make any difference, Damilola assured himself, they knew nothing about entertainment and luxuries, they always contented with little things given to them, I prefer their kind”Damilola said,

“As long as the restrictions had been bound around her, she will adjust to her new life and you are not an ordinary boy, It can be easy for you to come down to her levels before you uplifted her to your standard, and you are already in love with her” Tobiloba explained,

Damilola returned home, and he walked to her room,

On the brighter morning before the sunrise Damilola drives out of the house and drives the pathway to the palace and he parked his car in the neighborhood, he sat inside his car waiting for Funmilola to pass by, and he was gazing around and he came out of his car checking his car tires, he leaned on his car waiting for Funmilola, a little while, he saw Funmiola coming from afar, and he adjusts himself, and he started rehearsals on a spot,

“I have to shoot out my shots today” he was talking to himself, and Funmilola was coming closer to him and was staring at her, and when he came closer to him, he says, “good morning” Damilola said,

“good morning”Funmilola retorted” and she moves forward, going, “please, do you know where I can get my tire fixed?“ he asked,

“It's a little bit far but If you call him, he might come,” she said,

“Please, your face looks familiar and your voice sounds familiar,” he said, “do you attend federal government college?“ he asked,

“yes, but I can't remember this face” she replied,

“I said it when I saw you coming, we both attended the same high school, but I was three years ahead of you,” he said, “Finmilola is your name,” he says, am I right?“ he asked,

“yes, you are right but I don't think I recognize you but, no problem,” she said, “what is your name?“ she asked,

“Damilola is my name, the son of honorable Adesoye” he said,

“Okay, It is my pleasure meeting you,” she says, and she continued going to the palace where she works, and Damilola was still at the spot waiting for her to enter the palace, and he returned home happily,

In the evening Damilola drove to Funmilola's house and he knocks the gate and It was opened, and he entered and asked, “good day ma”

“welcome” her sister Bolade, “how may I help you?“ she asked,

“am here to see Funmilola” he said,

“wait, let me call her for you,” she said,

“thank you,” he says, and she walked to the house and called her, “someone is outside wanted to see you,” she said,

“Who is the person?“ Funmilola asked,

“I don't know but he's out there waiting for you" Bolade retorted,

“Okay, am coming,” Funmilola said, and she came outside of the house and saw Damilola and says, “hi” she moves closer to him,
