"Son, don't you think building a school and also a hospital at the same time will cost you much money, you have to think this through first" My father told me as we were discussing in his Chamber.
"Dad I planned for all this before coming back, I'm a medical doctor dad and helping the sick is the only thing that keeps my sanity that's the reason I want the hospital built as soon as possible, as for the money if that is what you are concerned about, I will handle everything, money is not the problem here but you and your elders cooperation" I explained.
"Okay, what can I say, I've already informed my elders about the school and they are happy about it, I will inform them about the hospital tomorrow, I know they will be more than happy with the news" the king said as I nodded.I sigh in anger as the queen herself paraded herself into the king's chamber. I cursed within myself while watching her sit beside the king.MMA'S POV,Visiting my mother during weekends is what I always look forward to every week, I hastened up my feet when I sighted the small hut I and my mother lives in."Mama I'm back" I shouted once I entered the empty room we use as our sitting room. I stopped and searched the room with my eyes when I heard no sound."Mama" I increased my voice but there was no response. "Did she went somewhere without locking the doors?" I asked myself as I kept the cellophane bag containing foods I was holding on the ground and went outside. I sat down on a log of wood we usually use to relax outside as I wondered where my mother might have gone to.I was taken at the sound of strange noise coming from the bathroom at the extreme of our compound which I ignored. The sound came again and I was curious to know the cause of the noise. I took a long stick near me as I gently walked towards the bathroom ready to strike any intruder. My eyes widen at the sight of my mother in the bathroom struggling wi
PRINCE POV,I knew something was wrong but I couldn't place my hand on any solid fact, the Mma I know is always bright but the one I saw today was dull and something about her countenance was so dark."I shouldn't be bothered about her anyway" I said within myself as I stood up to leave my chamber.Walking out I met Osondu who was heading towards the kitchen."My prince" he called with his head bowed."I want you to follow me to somewhere important" I said as he looked up."Where my prince?" He asked."The site for the school have been provided, I want to see how vast it is" I said as I walked pass him. Mma's POV,I met an empty room but that was what I needed most as I don't need any noise at the moment, I lied down on my bed but was interrupted by the sudden voice of Miss Margaret.I stood shocked wondering how she managed to locate my room as she is not one who visits the
Prince POV,I was heading towards one of my personal car when I suddenly had the urge to drink water."Wait here, I will be back" I said to Osondu before going back into the mansion. I located the kitchen after asking few servants.Entering into the kitchen, I was met with a hurtful sight which made me to intervene, the surprised look on the face of the maidens was visible but I was not moved. I knew what I just did was unlike me but I had that feeling to protect her."Get me a bottle of water" I said as I left the kitchen in a haste."I only did the right thing" I said convincing myself that what I did was not something unusual."My prince, I guess you missed your way to the kitchen" the voice of Osondu interrupted my thoughts as I stopped."No" I said and started heading towards my chamber."As for you escorting me to the site, you don't have to worry again, I will call you whenever I need you" I
PRINCE POV,I was satisfied with the progress of things at the building site, the school was situated close to the hospital, my phone buzzed indicating an incoming call."I have to pick this call" I said to Osondu as I handed my palmtop to him before walking away."Sweetheart" I said as I heard a chuckle from the other end of the call."My prince" my girlfriend said from the other end."How are you over there, I hope they are not treating you bad?" She asked with a concerned voice as I smiled."Not at all, as a matter of fact, I am at the site right now, the school and hospital is almost ready and I can't wait to have you back" I sat down on a block beside me."I can't wait to be with you too, I will be back once everything is ready" she said as I whined."Why can't you come back this week, your man can't wait any longer" I heard her laugh while I imagined her deep dimples which must be displaying now."Honey, I have few things to take care of before coming back, you know I love you r
Mma's POV, The dust that escaped from the house when he opened the door was unbearable as we closed our face with our hands. It seems like ages since the house was cleaned. He walked in with his hand placed on his nose as he helped illuminate the room with the aid of his mobile phone. He opened the windows as the dusts lessened giving me an opportunity to finally get in with the cleaning materials. I stared round the room as all the items and wall was covered with dust. I gradually walked towards a drawing board which was covered with a piece of cloth. "Wow" I was mesmerized by the sight I met on the drawing board. "That was my mom best piece of art" he said as I felt his breath on my neck. I shuddered at his closeness, he gently smiled while cleaning the canvas with a piece of cloth. "This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen all my life" I exclaimed not being able to hide my excitement. "
Mma's POV,I felt intimidated by the goddess that just entered the dinning room, Osondu almost tripped while staring at the gorgeous woman, her expensive dress, earrings and ornaments shows that she is a woman of high caliber."Good morning my king, good morning my queen" she greeted with a smile which made her dimples more visible."How can one be this beautiful?" I asked within myself while watching her calculated movements, everything about her seems special and with class."Good morning my daughter" the king answered while the queen reciprocated with a smile.She went towards the prince who was busy with his food and pecked him before sitting down beside him.I felt myself getting jealous at her action which made me wonder why I was jealous in the first place."I heard you are the daughter of Chief Magnus from Ikwerre kingdom?" The king suddenly asked as the lady looked up and smiled."Yes my King"
Mma's POV,Mum looked okay to me as she ate from the plate of food I gave her."Mum you don't look bad like the last time I visited, so tell me what's the secret?" I asked her as she smiled before sipping from the cup of juice I served her."This tastes really sweet, I want more of this" she said."There is more inside, I guess the herbs from mazi Uche is really working" I said not being able to hide the excitement in my voice."Far from that, the prince is really a Godsent in the life of a poor sick widow like me and the community at large" she said as I stared confused at her."The prince, how?" I asked curiously."A hospital has been built for the community by the prince, don't you know about that?" My mother asked still focused on her food."Wow, that's good news" I exclaimed happily."I went there and I was diagnosed, they said I have breast cancer""What's breast cancer?" I wa
MMA'S POV,The walk to the palace was a slow one, the breeze blew through my hair making me to shiver."The weather seems cool" the prince said."Yes, so cool" I replied with a smile as he spread his hands with his face up."I miss this you know" he exclaimed while still staring up with a wide smile plastered on his face."What?" I was curious."A walk in the dark, when everyone is far asleep in there various homes, when the breeze flows freely with no obstruction, when there is no noise to disrupt nature, I do it often in the states" he said as he now stared at me."Have you been outside of this kingdom before?" He suddenly asked."Apart from when I do attend school in the neighbouring village, I've never been out before" I answered sincerely attracting a surprised look from him."Wow this sounds so boring, I mean how did you even cope with such upbringing?""My prince that's how I
