    .
    The Girl He Never Noticed 🧡

    Tried singing again, no voice came out, i felt so shocked. My hand instantly went to my head, I couldn’t even cry.
    Ngozi stared at me with so much emotions and care!.
    “Adeife where is your voice?”, she asked. My tears stream down.
    “I don’t know
 maybe it is not meant for me, maybe the owner has finally taken it, maybe good things are not meant for me
 this is why I can’t BELIEVE, believe is meant for classy and pretty girls only” I said as I start crying.
    I wanted to run away, Ngozi drag me back.

    “Ife where to?”, she asked.
    “to kill myself” i replied..she sighs as she wipe my tears.
    “am sorry if won’t help” she said.
    “it would help because Onome won’t see someone to beat, Olamma won’t see someone to pick on and father won’t see someone to shout at” I said as I covered my face.
    “what about me
who will talk to me after you kill yourself?”, she asked.

    I hastily drop my hand from my face.
    Ngozi, every beautiful moment you have spent with me made my life beautiful, your contributions to my life can’t be spoken on low volume
    You believe in me even when no one did, I gave up myself but you revived me.

    I looked at her and wiped a tear.
    You never gave ear to all the negative side talks of people, instead you stood by me both in favourable seasons and troublesome seasons
 my letter to you.
    “Ngozi you’re a good friend yet I couldn’t do what you want, I couldn’t sing for you, I lost my voice!
    I said and ran away, she ran after me.
    “Ife wait
wait Ife! she screamed my name, her legs didn’t make her get me


    I ran till I got to a waterfall. Soon I left there and got to the stream
.
    drowning myself would help after all.
    I sat for a while, trying to sing
.
    it still didn’t come.

    🧡 JIDENNA’S POV 🧡

    Finally, lotanna strolled out.
    Mother was not with him this time around and I guess the walk was too much or maybe because he saw many new faces


    Lotanna is allergic to people,even back then at school(abroad), he has his own special tutor,special lecture room too.He is like that from birth, doesn’t talk too much ,doesn’t talk when he is not called
in fact if you leave him in a place,you will come back and meet him in the very place you left him.
    “Does it still hurt,sir? a maid walk in his direction,she was carrying a calabash
..herbs I guess.
    Lotanna lit his eyes, on his wrist were two black bead bracelet while his feet had on a black slipper with diamond based.

    His eyes search around as he walks,
    catwalks sooo amazingly.
    All the maids he passed kept on bowing.
    “does it still hurt sir?”, the maid asked again.
    Lotanna stopped,the maid hasten her footsteps and caught up with him.
    “did you find any ring?”, he asked another thing.
    “no, my prince! she replied.
    Lotanna slam his forehead and walk away.He passed me,he reversed back again.
    “Jidenna did you find my ring?”,
    he asked.

    “No, if I had seen it,I will tell you” I replied,he nodded and left.
    All the Maud’s started searching around,I don’t even think the ring is in this palace.Am thinking someone must have taken it when he followed Ikechukwu out.
    that priceless ring .
    “have you seen it?”, I asked.
    “No”he replied, his expression was disturbed as he searched around in his bedroom.I joined in the search..
    I opened some drawers,
    my eyes jammed some files.
    BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!!
    23years old Lotanna secrets as the owner of Glamour Diamonds has been leaked, so glamour is his


    “the best thing you can do is to keep my wealth status safe” Lotanna had said to Jerry Carter at Glamour.
    “he’s so talented in whatever thing he does,he does brain works perfectly
. am signing him as a lead ambassador” Jerry carter also dropped a comment.
    In the drawer,I also found a glittering accessory!
    Lotanna turned, I hastily hide the files and closed the drawer back.
    “did you find it?”, he asked.
    I nodded in disagreement.
    “Did you see it?”, amarachi also entered.
    “No
don’t worry.You can go and sleep” he said to Amarachi.
    She left


    He also turn to leave.
    “where too?”, I asked.
    “to search for my ring” he replied,simply.
    “I will go with you”, I said.We both walk out quietly with two guards.
    “let’s divide yourself,you pass there,let me take here” I suggested..
    He took his lips in,we path ways with one guard each.
    Adeife Adeife
    I thought of leaving the stream, dying is not really the next option

    if I die,who will take possessions of all my savings

    I left the stream,it was dark by the time I got home.

    “where are you coming from?”,
    Olamma asked in an irritating manner.. I shot her a glare,Onome step out that moment.
    “yes yes where are your savings? month has ended,hasn’t it” she asks.
    A tear dropped out of my eyes.
    And I thought she is changed!..
    so she actually do it to bring me closer
..am thinking she must have added similey in the food she gave me


    Never in my life will I get carried away by food..I will rather wait for hunger to kill me.
    “Mother when will I buy the type of breast holder princess Akuna bought.. she didn’t bring her savings” Olamma hissed and went inside

    hmmmmm

    It started raining.

    “When your bring your savings,I will allow you in! she said and slam the door on my face.
    I ran into the shades and knock on the door,she still didn’t open.
    My father walked in rgar moment, he was carrying a dead antelope.Guess he is coming from hunting.
    I hastily ran to the backyard. Have never feared anyone the way I feared him
.
    He always beat me up each time he smokes tobacco.Who knows if he smoked it today?.
    “who is there?”, I heard his voice.
    I enter into the nearby bush and run for safety to the stream where I would find solace.

    Mother am sorry for doing this
    I said and made up my mind to finally drown myself. I entered the stream and almost drown myself,
    until a pair of arm pulled me up

    Goshhhh,when I thought I would die.
    “My prince,she wants to commit suicide! the person that dragged me out said
..
    My prince!! did I just heard it..
    I better bring out the ring.
    I looked at the one who dragged me out,too bad i couldn’t see his face.
    I wanted to fall,the guard held my hand and made me stand well
the sounds from his neck bead made me understand he is a royal guard.
    He dragged the nearby water pot and made me stand well..
    “Killing yourself is it the next option
 don’t you value your life” the prince said


    He turned to leave.
    “I’m sorry sir,this is your ring!
    I bowed in respect and drop the ring with the guard when I didn’t have courage to face the prince
.
    Am not sure of which of the prince I met, I dropped it with the guard and ran away…

    .
    The Girl He Never Noticed 🧡

    I had no courage to look into his eyes as our hands brush into each other, my soul acted weird

    “Pardon” he said in a well mannered way. Like I understood, I withdraw my hands, he took the mat and passed it to princess Amarachi.
    I bowed with respect, holding another mat with both hands
 Amarachi is also well mannered.

    You won’t know she is a princess until you are being told.
    “why are you putting in this masquerade stuff ?”, she asked, her pretty eyes was on the mat.
    “my princess it is a mere mask.. I do not mean any


    the prince looked at the mask, I started stammering.
    Soon he looked away and muttered something.
    “we need to get out of here! he said.
    The guards paid for the mat, they left without collecting change.
    I felt so happy


    Luck finally decide to shine on me again
chineke(god) thank you.
    I solicit and removed onome’s money, I kept the change separately in my breast wrapper.
    I waited patiently, hoping another buyer will come, my eyes search around and I spotted Princess Akuna-the proud peacock coming with her crews.

    She is a princess from the next kingdom, she usually come to our village market pretending to buy things but the truth is that she came to show off so that other maidens can praise her.
    Every one in the village have one thing or the other to say about her, she makes life miserable for the poor’s in fact she moves with her types.The day she mistakenly touch a girl,she washed her hand instantly.
    I watch keenly as she catwalk with her servants.Finally she stopped on front of a cloth seller and posed arrogantly.

    “where can I find ogechi, the cloth trader.I heard she resides in this kingdom” she said.
    “my princess either ogechi or not,I have all types of trending attire and breast holder that would make your breast firm” the trader which happens to be old Nana said.
    Akuna rolled her eyeballs rudely at the old woman..
    “how poor
.this type of wrapper am looking for,you cannot have it cos it is beautifully adorn with beads”
    She boasted.

    I remembered she is looking for the cloth I worn to her birthday party.
    Waoow,so she is this jealous..
    “is it this one? old Nana asked as she brought out something similar to the days wrapper.
    “I said it,old people always have problems with brains” Akuna said.
    “no wonder all your children died.You must have killed them with talk”Adanna fired.She’s Akuna’s pupet.

    “ogechi the cloth trader,that is definitely Ngozi step mother” sgs said,the walked away.
    Thank goodness they didn’t passed when the prince was here.
    “should we price mat” Adana whispered.They approavhed me.
    hope they won’t pick on me?
    I already make promises not to make friends with trouble and fight.
    The princess pointed to a mat.
    I bite the inside of my cheeks as I look down.

    “remove that masquerade thing, it is scaring me” akuna said.
    “her face is irritating, let her wear it” Adana teased.
    “that mat, how much does it cost? Akuna pointed to one.
    I bent to pick it, I saw something glittering on the mat, it was diamond in form of a ring, it must fallen from either the prince or Amarachi.

    “what’s that, let me have it”
    Akuna said with so much authority.
    I stretched the mat she pointed.
    “no the ring” she said, smartly.
    “which ring??
    “I saw it, no need dragging” she said.
    Another buyer came, I already know akuna is here for trouble.
    I faced the new buyer with enthusiasm.
    “Are you here are all?”, akuna asked.

    “I’m sure am not at home” I replied.
    She got angry and left with her servants.
    Two more buyers came, I felt so happy as I sold until am left with just two mats. I decided to go home in the evening when no buyer was coming.
    And I promised to make ngozi’s hair this evening.. how am I suppose to divide myself..
    The prince ring, how am I suppose to return it, I better keep it well. I tied it on my breast wrapper and comport myself before entering the compound.

    I didn’t even see olamma outside
 who knows, she must have gone to meet her boyfriend.
    “is this all what you sold?”,
    she asked as she counted the money

    “hmm I don’t trust you
your mother was a thief. Who knows if you have taken after her” onome said, I still kept quiet, hoping she would give me food. Heaven knows I didn’t dare her.

    She moved closer to me and started pressing my body to check if I hide any money, she found the change I kept. Her expression changed as she brought it out, she continue searching, at some point, I started asking myself if she’s a witch.
    Luckily for me, she did not even find the ring.
    “whose money is this hun Adeife?”, she asked, calmly.

    “No no it is not
.” I starmmered, she watched me and didn’t beat me.
    this is very unusual, Onome is not a nice person at all..
    “explain” she said.
    I explained the truth, she stared.
    “which prince did you meet?”, she asked. I kept quiet.
    “and he didn’t run for your ugliness” she asked.
    “I used masquerade coverage” I said.
    She nodded and pack the change.
    “your food is in the kitchen” she said, politely.

    “thank you mama” I replied happily and rush to the kitchen.
    ohhh this hunger, I pray it won’t kill me someday.
    I hastily uncover the calabash

    Waoow..I licked my lips.
    Pounded yam and an extremely spiced Egusi soup, the meat caught my fansy. I cleaned my hands on my cloth


    Hmmmmm, I will eat meat today again
.
    My longer throat won’t allow me rest, I finished everything and drank water fully..I felt do happy.
    Onome has changed
    Onome gave me food
    Onome spoke to me nicely 

    I love my new life.

    🧡 JIDENNA’S POV 🧡

    I entered the throne room, it was empty. Father was not in and in and the crown was there laying on the empty seat.
    I can’t just find finally wait for the day the throne would fit into my head.
    I left there and entered the hallway, two maids ran into each other.
    “where is the other twin prince?”,
    the first maid asked.
    “did you see prince Lotanna?”, the other maid asked.

    They look so confused.
    One of the maid turned back and saw me

    isn’t that prince Lotanna?”, she asked the other maid..
    She looked so confused. They part ways when they heard steady footsteps, I turned it was the queen.
    She looks so worried as she hasten her footstep to catch up with me.
    “Jidenna, have you seen Lotanna?”, she asked.

    “Lotanna is not a kid, why treating him like a kid?” I asked. It is obvious she likes him more than me.
    “they are back,Amarachi is with them” a maid reported.
    She heaved a breath of relief the moment she sights him coming in with guards.
    She rushed to him and started touching his forehead to see if he has temperature.
    “call the nurse! mom said as she felt his purse.Next she faced ikechukwu.
    “why did you allow him walk much?”, she asked

    “I’m sorry, LOLO (queen)” he bowed.
    “Did you give him anything to eat?”, she asked


    Lotanna wasn’t saying anything,he only stared at the queen(our mother) as she touched him.
    “no yes
.just a guava! ikechukwu starnmered.
    “chimoooooo,Lotanna doesn’t eat such things” the queen exclaimed.
    I scoffed

    why so dramatic? Just for Lotanna.
    I saw through his fingers,he was wearing two diamond rings earlier, why is only one left.
    “I will just look out for the nurse!
    I said and left.

    Night was almost approaching,I decided to check on Lotanna.I opened his door as I moved in fully into his slivery built living room,none was there.
    Just his pads, ten scattered phone and two neat laptop with a flash.
    I entered deep into his room,there I met him sleeping his head was in mothers laps,he looks so much like a baby with his pouted lips
.
    Though the room was dimmed but the golden egdes of the,bed lit the room


    She is the queen of the moonlight-
    I overheard mother saying as she pat his shoulders..her other finger ran through his pretty face.
    I think she is telling a story.
    I left.

    🧡 ADEIFE’S POV 🧡

    Onome has never spoken to me nicely like she did today. I got surprised she bought me a new dress wrapper
 I didn’t even do any work. This happiness, I hope it lasts.
    Soon she went out, I also decided to use that opportunity to see Ngozi.
    I met with her at our usual spot
 my happiness made me jump on her.
    “ummm I don’t think she is changed. You need to be very careful” she advised.

    I smiled and started making her hair.
    “Ngozi I met the prince” I said.
    “waooow which of them, is he nice?”, she asked..
    “I don’t even know their names not to talk of recognizing them” I said.
    She smiled and got so interested.
    “He is sooo cute, his eyes has a spark of silver, his lip is well pouted.. gosh he loves diamond too much. To crown it all, our hands touch
 He spoke to me!! Ngozi am the first girl he spoke to aside from his sister, Amarachi
 I felt his touch”


    I clapped as I said.
    “Adeife are you sure you’re not in
”
    “no, I can’t be in love with someone like him even though he is nicely mannered
 I’m not his type cos am ugly, I don’t have family too!
    I wanted to cry. Ngozi smiled and hugged me.
    “Sing for me, it’s been long I heard your voice” she said..
    I didn’t want to do it.
    “Onome” I got scared as I said.

    “I thought you said she is now nice.. she won’t talk if she is changed! Ngozi said
 It’s been long she has been begging me to do that.
    “Fine, I would do it for you” I said and opened my mouth to sing..
    No voice was coming out.
    “Ife sing, Adeife sing” Ngozi said.
    I opened my mouth to sing again, no voice was coming out..
    “Ife what’s happening, sing..Ife sing” Ngozi beckoned.
    I tried again, nothing was coming out.

    “I’m sorry, your Ife can’t sing again.. I think have lost my voice” I said, solemnly.
    Ngozi became frightened
 She held me tightly with so much emotions and care
.
    “Ife what did you eat??
    “Ife sing, Ife sing! she said..

    The Girl He Never Noticed 🧡

    “who is shapeless?.
    “Did you just call me shapeless?” Ngozi fumed in real anger.
    “yes you are shapeless
a total disgrace to woman hood-is there any difference between you and Adeife? ugly shapeless fellows”Arinze cursed.

    I dropped the cloth am washing, he just mentoomedy name,he abused I and my friend.

    “look who we have here,Miss ugly and miss shapeless! Arinze still cursed,loudly.
    “Ngozi am sorry,forgive me” I said. I faced Arinze,he shifted back and cover his face.
    “what’s all this bad luck very early in the morning! he said as he shifts back.
    “All the days of your life,badluck” said,Ngozi.
    “and if you don’t give back the waist best,your first born will be ugly” I said
    “your second born will be shapeless”Ngozi said.
    “your future wife,broom stick” I said.

    “your first son, impotent” Ngozi said.
    Arinze stared at the both of us as we curse him.
    “just stop cursing me,you don’t know the angel that is passing by” he said.
    “then give back the waist bead” Ngozi still said with anger.

    “no matter your curse,I won’t give it back” Arinze said.

    Next, Ngozi rushed him and bite his chest. They started fighting for the bead,I didn’t even know what to do in the moment
 Ngozi is not patient.
    “ngo,stop dragging it..it will cut,if it cut then you both loss” I said.She won’t still listen.
    They struggled the more and I think Arinze is trying his best not to injure her.She is a female,he is a male.

    AM the cause of this,I know?
    seems my soul is purely addicted to trouble!.
    “ngo, leave it for him.I will pay for it with my savings” I said.she didn’t still listen.
    The bead cut,that was when Arinze left the other end.I watch in dismay as some of the beads pour into the stream.Ngozi left the other end in frustration.
    “you finally cut it!! she shouted at Arinze, tears welled up in her eyes which made me really felt bad.
    “we both loss” Arinze said,happily and left the side of the stream.

    Adanna and Chiamanda approached the stream with their pots- those gossipers, especially Amaka.
    thank goodness she isn’t here today.
    “Ngozi,am sorry” I said lowly as she left the place she was.
    The bead pain her,I could see it subconsciously in her emotions as she left the fight scene to the spot she is washing cloth beside me.
    “Ngozi, am sorry” I said,she didn’t answer.

    I signed, feeling pained she isn’t talking to me again.
    hmmm this is unlike her,
    why is she getting like this?

    is it still the bead matter or the fight or the curse?.
    “what if I get you another one? You know am saving in five different places plus old Nana’s place making it six.Before the end of this month,I will buy it for you
am really really sorry” I said.
    “I don’t need it!”, she replied, angrily.

    She started ignoring me,
    the silence really hurts.
    knowing fully well that she is the only supporter i have,seeing that only supporter staying mad at me because of an ordinary bead kills me from the inside-
    “Ngo, am sorry! I said..
    “whatttt
.why sorry? did I fall down! she shut me out
 sooo painful.

    To her it might be nothing but to me it is something.Ngozi does not really knows little things hurt me.
    I looked at her,I could not even concentrate on what I was washing.
    “And one day if destiny puts me where I want to be,I will come back for you” I said.
    she still didn’t answer.
    Her cloth was not really much,she was done hmmmmmmm


    She will leave me again.
    “which one have you not wash?”,
    she finally speak to me,I felt happy.
    “do not stay happy for I am still mad at you” she said and started helping me with the cloths.
    I hugged her timidly,she splashed water on me,I did it back happily.It turned into a water fight.
    The last water Ngozi splashed on me mistakenly touch chiamanda and Adanna.

    “Eeee what type of nonsense is this?
    she exaggerated.
    “sorry” Ngozi said politely.
    “witches of the same feathers” Adanna hissed..
    “say it again if you dare!” Ngozi said to adanna’s face.I trust Ngozi
.
    Ngozi the fighter.
    I smiled
.I remembered she taught me how to always fight back.
    “Coward
 you dare not repeat it again” she said and came back to help me out.

    More maidens came to fetch water,
    I started hearing things about me

    đŸšș Her ugliness keeps getting worst
    đŸšș ohhh my gaaaad

    đŸšș seriously, I just noticed.
    đŸšș Just out of hand.
    đŸšș Guess that’s how it runs in her generations.She looks like Old Nana.
    I heard murmurs.
    Ngozi wanted to fight back,I held her back.There’s no point in doing that

    it is just my fault that am ugly.
    if am not ugly,they won’t possibly talk


    I spread the cloths I washed,
    Ngozi left, I also went to the other places that I work.I was able to gather little pennies,I tied some on the tip of my wrapper and took the rest to “old Nana’s” the place I save.
    I dare not take all the money home, onome will collect it and she won’t still give me food.
    finally I decided to leave for home.

    🧡 IKECHUKWU’S POV 🧡

    We were set to leave for the morning stroll
 The three of us,
    the prince,me and Amarachi
the youngest kid in the palace.She’s just 15
 People always thinks she is a royal blood but she is not.She was found by some fishermen near the pond side,the king decided to raise her as his
till now,her lineage is not yet known.
    The secret was made unknown to her until last year’s festival ceremony,she overhead some chiefs saying it
.she felt bad,she thought she is a princess,the way the king raise her up was very special.

    So am not really a princess
am only a foster child! this simply means my own parent got irresponsible>
    ohhhhh no!!!! mom why????
    why did you keep me beside that *fish pond? what if I got killed!!!!
    14years old Amarachi laments during last years festival
 I remembered how the king hugged her to console her,he used his thumb to wipe her tears too.
    Since then,no one dare talk about it. I don’t even think the princes knows about it.

    “So where are you taking us to? strolling to where?”, she asked.
    “anywhere my princess” I replied.
    “okay” she nodded as she held hands with Lotanna.
    “Shall we stroll to the market,it’s been long I did that” she said

    we got out with three more guards,I kept on looking at prince Lotanna.
    can he cope with walking around? I don’t think he is use to it

    his catwalk only says it all,
    Just so amazing
it looks like heaven is open to rain.

    “We shouldn’t take long” he said fluently in his strange language which I don’t think I heard.
    Amarachi laughed.”you don’t understand English” she said to me before interpreting what Lotanna said
.

    🧡 ADEIFE’S POV 🧡

    I got home,the outside was very quiet which is so usual..
    Onome ought to be back! why isn’t she outside?.
    I entered inside and met Olamma lying on the bed,Onome was attending to her wounds..
    “mama welcome” I said..
    She turned to me,Next she spilled the hot water in my direction.Her eyes was boiling rage.
    Then it occurred to me I really injure Olamma during the morning fight.

    “Mama my neck, it really hurt!
    “She bite it,she dragged the new hair I just plait
see they are all loose!
    Olamma said.She started crying..
    I knew it was fake.
    Onome didn’t say a word,she attended to olamma’s wound
.
    chai my teeth are gone,laughter is now a difficult thing.
    Never in my life will i lay my hand on Olamma,even if she makes trouble I will avoid her.
    “you want to kill her like you killed your mother
.it is today your foolish father will disown you” onome said.

    I mistakenly bite my teeth in pain.
    “but mama you are calling papa foolish,he is also your husband”
    I said..
    She stood up, I knew what was next,I ran back.
    “what are you seriously turning into?
    “you’re telling me I don’t know what am doing hunn! she yelled.
    “it’s true you said papa is foolish and he is also your husband” I said.
    She clapped her hands in dismay and grabbed me


    I wailed as she beat me mercilessly. She left me when she was tired.
    “They have started pressing you
 you’re enjoying what is bigger than you
I know ooo because this is how your mother started” she said.I dare not speak.
    “the mats are outside
take them to the market and make sure you sell them all” she said.
    I gasped..cos no one will buy from me..am ugly,they always run away from me

    I ran out and wipe my tears,then I bundled the mats and took them to the market.

    Ohhh goodness, who did I offend???
    I stopped halfway and decided to use a mask, they won’t know it’s me.
    But this money is the last thing I have with me
I sigh and used it to buy a mask.I put it on and made my way into the market
.
    did I even eat anything since morning?? oh god save Ife.

    I shade the mats and started calling out for buyers,none was coming.
    my mind said “sing buyer will come”.
    hnmm
    I wish I can
but I can’t.
    the last time i did,Onome knew.
    đŸŽ¶believe in all that can be
    đŸŽ¶ a miracle starts whenever you dream

    I sang in my heart,I dare not sing it out.
    “how much is your mat?”, I heard a very tiny voice
I hastily raise my head.I didn’t look at the buyer well.

    “Which one??? I asked and brought out mats with different patterns
.
    “my princess wants a mat! I heard another voice.
    A princess!!!!!
    am I sure am hearing well?.
    I hastily raise my head,thank god am with a mask
 she would have ran cause of my ugliness.
    “Yes,they are pretty” she said and pointed to one

    I wasn’t even looking well,my gaze were directed to the prince.Three guards were surrounding him and he was holding something unfamiliar-
    is that a phone?
.
    I said it,only super wealthy people used that.

    “Hmm it is not really expensive.How many do you want?”, I asked..
    The prince moved forward,Princess Amarachi hastily intertwined their hands

    gosh many maidens were drooling.
    “my respect,my princess” I bowed as I present the mat

    The prince took the mat from me,his fingers brushed into mine.
    I felt a sensation,a spark in my heart..
    what’s wrong with me???
    what feelings is this?
.
    hmmmm how do I tell the prince to leave my hand

    .
    The Girl He Never Noticed 🧡

    Chimooo my toes it really hurts as i ran.
    “wait my dear maiden, please wait. I mean no harm” I heard Arinze’s voice from behind.I didn’t wait,I still continue running till I found a route.
    “finally” I breathed as i moved into an hideout.I noticed I was not with the waist bead Ngozi gave me to use.

    Ohhh my, did I lost it?
    is this not trouble again?

    I peeped from my hideout and used the tree as a shade to cover up.
    I could see Arinze searching around for me,lying in his presence on the floor is the waist bead am looking for.

    How am I going to get it back?

    chai it’s not for me,what am i going to tell Ngozi?

    my heart pondered as I watch Arinze pick it up.He held it with so much care as he examine it.
    “whosoever you are,I will find you and make you mine” i heard him say,
    he left with the waist bead.
    I just hope Ngozi will not get mad at me because of this bead.
    I left my hideout and ran like have never done on my life,it was already getting dark,it still didn’t bother me.

    Finally, i left princess akuna’s kingdom and entered ours.

    I stopped to catch my breath before retiring to the lover’s spot.
    I took off what i had on and tied my old looking wrappers.
    You won’t believe I have just five set of wrappers,out of those five’s I can only boast of one,not like it is among the best.

    I have never worn waist beads,earrings, neck beads and anklets.Today is my first time.
    if not for Ngozi, were would i be today???
    Should I also say today is the only day am very happy,my most happiest day because i met many princes and they also enjoy seeing me dance.
    I was done with my dressing,I wrapped the one’s Ngozi borrowed me and kept it in a safe place beside a stone and finally left empty handed.
    Soon,I got to where I kept my pot,I lifted it on my head.

    I walked home tiredly.
    Onome was outside discussing with her friend, mama mmesoma.
    I passed them as I greeted.
    None of them answered.I went to the backyard to empty my pot.
    I got outside, only onome was there. I think her friend just left..
    “Stupid girl,Ukwu ka Aziza(legs like broom stick) go and get me water,I am thirsty” onome said.

    I cursed her inwardly as i turn to walk into the kitchen.
    “what did you just did?”, she yelled.
    “nothing mama,I didn’t dare you”,
    I replied and entered the kitchen hurriedly to get her water.
    I turned and met her standing behind me with a pestle.The water i was holding in a calabash fell,the calabash shattered.
    The end as finally come for me. I quickly knelt down.

    “mama bikonu(please)” I pleaded in tears.She hit the pestle on my back.
    “mama I didn’t go against you,I didn’t do anything wrong” I begged.She grinned wickedly.
    “you sang today,didn’t you?”,
    she asked.
    “mbanu(no) mama” I replied.
    At times I do wonder if onome is a witch.She usually knows if I sing at her back


    “you sang
.didn’t i told you to run away from music! she shrieked.
    “mama please I won’t do it again!
    I cried,she continue hitting me..
    I hastily stood up and wanted to run out but I mistakenly pushed her, she fell and papa came in that moment.
    “what’s happening here?”, he asked.
    “Ife has killed me,she hit me just because am trying to correct her” onome lied,she’s always turning me against my father.
    “no no I didn’t hit her, I pushed her and it was mistake” I said. He slapped me.

    “You want to kill your stepmother the way you killed your mother” he exaggerated.
    onome stood up.
    “have you fetched water?”, she asked.
    “no am not done” I replied.
    “have you washed olamma’s cloth?”,
    she asked.
    “noo mother” I replied.
    “eeehh rubbish upon rubbish! she clapped her hands in danger singnal.
    It was my father’s turn to hit me.
    With tears in my eyes,I rush off to the stream with olamma’s cloth and my pot of water.

    Never in my life will I sing.
    Each time I sing at her back,she usually knows
 She always says songs are not meant for ugly maidens like me,she always says BELIEVE is not for me
..
    I shouldn’t BELIEVE while singing.
    I finished my work very late in the midnight,I retired home after spreading olamma’s cloth.I slept with an empty stomach on the cold floor while olamma slept comfortably on the bed.

    Olamma started crying in sleep, onome quickly rushed into the hut olamma and I share like she is been chased by something
..
    She rush to onome on the bed and wiped her tears.
    “my daughter is crying,you’re sleeping! onome yelled at me, I sprang up although I distance myself
    Mama ain’t i beautiful anymore? have never been disgraced like this in my entire life

    A strange girl came to the party, she embarrassed me so much in front of other maidens just because I want to be her friend,ohhh mama I never loss

    she started crying.
    đŸšș my daughter,
    đŸšș my ornament,
    đŸšș the future queen of deerah kingdom, no maiden can beat your beauty


    Onome pet her daughter to sleep,I was made to fan her.
    She slept so fast,onome left.
    I smiled as I dropped the fan
good for her

    I felt proud of the embarrassment I gave her.I slept.

    NEXT Day – THE GOLDEN PALACE

    🧡 IKECHUKWU’S POV 🧡

    I walked briskly into the princes empire so I would call them for early morning stroll.I can’t even say who is who till now.They so much look alike.
    I really envy them yesterday at the party


    Virtually all the maidens were drooling on them,it feels so good to have seductive physique.
    I got to a door in the princes empire, the hallway was glittering with bright lights,the floor was different entirely..
    igwe really spent a lot in furnishing this place,it is so much special.

    I knocked on the first door,
    “who is there?”,, a voice answered.
    I think it’s Lotanna or
.
    “I said who is there?”, the voice came up again.
    “my prince it is me,ikechukwu the head guard and your loyal servant” I replied,piously.
    “what do you want?”, he asked..
    “we are talking a walk this morning”,

    I replied
. he was silent which made my breath ceased..
    “that maiden yesterday,the beautiful one,what’s her name?”, he asked with so much superiority.
    “prince Lotanna, I have no idea”
    I replied.
    “am not Lotanna, am Jidenna”
    he corrected.
    what an attitude!
    I left his door and walked futher.
    I guess this should be Lotanna’s door then.
    I knocked.

    “Come in” a soft voice said.
    I opened and entered
He was sitting on one of the heavenly couch and was on phone.A little girl was sitting very close to him with her legs on his laps

    đŸšș isn’t that Amarachi,also part of the royal blood! that smart 15years old kid!

    “Brother it is not the hare that won the race, the tortoise did” Amarachi said
 Lotanna picked an Apple and turned to me,Amarachi tapped him.
    “early morning walk my prince” I said with a bow.It is really a taboo here to look directly into a prince eyes.

    “Come and sit, tell us a story
. my brother doesn’t know any folktale” Amarachi said

    Lotanna pulled out a golden stool for me to sit..
    such an honor!
    I hastily sat and started, at times I would pause to steal a glance at the prince
who is very busy with what he is doing on phone.
    “sorry for cutting you off
let’s walk around, there’s actually no network around here” he said as he picked his spectranet device

    “my pleasure,my prince! I replied and led the way


    such a sweet somebody,now the only way I can differentiate the princes is through their behaviors.

    🧡 ADEIFE’S POV 🧡

    I was thanking my ancestor onome wasn’t around
 if not I would have cried this early morning.Even papa wasn’t around.
    Olamma yawned lazily,the first thing she picked was a mirror.
    “Ife am hungry” olamma said.
    I shot her a glare.”Am only Ife,am not a chef” I said.
    She dropped her mirror and turned to me

she better not pass her boundary this early morning.
    “Ife am hungry,I must not repeat myself” she said.

    “Poison is available” I replied.
    “Ife am hungry! she shouted and slapped me angrily.
    “sooooooo!!! I shouted and slapped mine.We started a fight,I made sure I cut those beads her admirers bought for her
.
    “never in your life! Olamma I repeat never in your life! I said with pain and pulled her hairs,I bite her neck side. She screamed in pains and attracted neighbors.
    Mama Mmesoma was the one who rush to separate us.

    “do you want to kill her the way you killed your mother! she shouted.
    Olamma’s neck was already red,part of her face had blood cause of the scratch I gave her..
    Mother and child can’t be maltreating me at the same time

    Olamma ran inside,I also walk away to a widow’s house.She usually pays me to wash her clothes.
    “good morning nne(mother)” I greeted


    “yes my daughter” she replied and payed for service

    I knelt as I collected it.I packed her clothes and turned to leave.
    hmmmm what if onome also collect this money from me?? I think I should start saving. Nothing is too small.

    I turned back to the widow.
    “nne,I want to be keeping my money with you” I said.
    “no problem” she said.I handed her the money and went for the stream with her cloths.
    On getting to the stream,I met Arinze on one side swimming, on his wrist was the waist bead,he actually wore it in folds
.He keeps hair to,he bind it up with a black bracelet


    He turned, by then I was already washing
.I turned my back against him so that he won’t get irritated by my ugliness

    how I wish I can get the waist bead back from him??.
    someone approached,I turned and it was Ngozi.She also came with cloth.
    “thanks for yesterday” I said..
    “you’re welcome
 but the bead where is it,it is the only treasure I have?”, she asked,her eyes search around,it landed on Arinze’s wrist.
    “Arinze what are you doing with my bracelet?”,she shouted.

    Arinze came out of the water with water dripping from his hair,down to his bare chest making the hairs on them curl sweetly.
    “what waist bead? it belongs to my maiden” Arinze said.
    “I said if is for me! Ngozi shouted and brought out the matching necklace.

    “That’s not enough for a prove because you ain’t beautiful like her, you are shapeless!
    Arinze said
Ngozi fumed in anger. She really hate insults.
    chimo am I also the cause of this one?
    “who is shapeless?????

    The Girl He Never Noticed 🧡

    What I heard next was laughter.
    A heavy knock also followed on my forehead- It was mama and I dare not utter a word.
    Olamma continued laughing.
    “nne(mother) can’t you see that ife’s stupidity is a disgrace to her ancestors, the only difference between her and magnet is that magnet is attractive” olamma said, in a mockery voice.

    I shot her a glare, mama look in my direction also.
    “did you just say something?”,
    “chineke(god) wonders shall never end
.when all the animals in the bush are going out,snail also wants to go” onome said.
    “even if she go,which cloth will she wear? she won’t even get attracted by a single fly” olamma said.

    “you just like destroying papa’s reputation” she added and turn to leave.
    “your work starts now” she said.
    waaaaaaaaaattttttt
    “mama I have not eaten” I said.
    “the leftovers are in the kitchen” she said and dismissed me.
    my tears stream down as I entered the kitchen.
    is it my fault that I am ugly?
    I hurriedly picked a pot,I passed the backyard and behold,all the waters have been poured away.
    I felt like dying as i rushed to the stream,I dropped the pot and sat on one edge of the stream,I started throwing stones into the stream as I cried.

    Mama Ife, can you not see how your pearl is suffering

    Mama this is not the type of life I want,I don’t like this ugliness at all
    You said you will look down upon me from heaven and be with me but mama Ife you don’t even care 4 Ife

    You said I should BELIEVE, I felt as thou those words are enough.Ife believe,believe Ife was all I did
    Anyways, I will still trust my god for he is Chimamanda(the god who never fail) he is also good..

    I wipe my tears and drag the pot to my side after which I entered the center in the stream.My reflection appeared as I bend.The only beautiful thing in me is my hair and my shape

    speaking of my hair,when last did i even plait it

    I filled the pot.
    who will help me lift it on my head!
    hmmm another problem, no one was coming to help.
    I still clapped my hands,no one was coming. I started singing.
    that song
..

    BELIEVE
    đŸŽ¶ believe in all that can be
    đŸŽ¶ a miracle starts if you dream
    đŸŽ¶ believe and sing from your heart
    đŸŽ¶ ohh Ife believe,believe Ife.
    đŸŽ¶ believe and dream what can be
    đŸŽ¶ believe the beauty is yours to see
    đŸŽ¶ aahhhhh Ife believe..

    the moment stopped when I heard approaching steps.I stopped singing and poured part of the water in my pot away,I carried the little I could lift and ran away.
    Finally I saw the owners of the footsteps.. Arinze and Nkem..
    Arinze is known a drunkard,he is handsome too,a perfect definition of a brown skin just that he got too irresponsible because of his father’s wealth
while Nkem is
..should I say part of the royal blood.

    “did you hear that voice?”, I heard Arinze saying.
    “was that an angel?”,Nkem asked back
.
    “a maiden is around here,see the footprints” Arinze pointed out and they started searching.
    I covered my mouth and ran away.

    (believeđŸŽ·đŸŽ»đŸŽ€)

    🧡 ARINZE’S POV 🧡

    That voice,who owns it?
    it really captivated my heart.I always appreciate singers who sings with so much emotions..
    đŸšș That voice sounds so ethereal..
    đŸšș It is an epitome of gods perfect creation,voices of thousands fallen angels!
    đŸšș Voice enameled with so much emotions!.
    đŸšș Voice gifted from the most high!
    đŸšș My lord,which maiden can that be
    đŸšș she must be toasted with beauty right???

    “Arinze so because of a mere voice.You’re like this
 are you sure you don’t need a physician?”,
    he asked and hit my chest..
    I took my lips in.
    đŸšș I wish I would someday meet that maiden,she have every good thing life has to offer!
    how sweet!
    “Arinze you’re seriously planning to cross this unknown maiden legs..
    well Toto pass Toto (vagina is different) not all maidens are cheap”. he said, we both laughed.

    THE GOLDEN PALACE

    🧡 QUEEN’S POV 🧡

    “your majesty,one of the prince didn’t eat” a maid reported while kneeling down

    “which of the princes?”, I asked, she scratched her neck.
    “your highness I can’t recognize them” she said shyly.
    I stood up from my throne.This is the only problem we are having in the palace,the workers can’t recognize who is Lotanna and Jidenna.
    “you can leave” I dismissed the maid and approach the prince’s empire..

    The guard at the entrance opened the bronze door, he bowed as I entered.
    I spotted him there on the heavenly couch,he was in phone,all cladded in a white long sleeve,a dark designer jean and a pair of black room slippers. His pad and laptop was lying on the slivery tiled floor..Beside him was a wine bottle and a halfly filled glass.
    He turned back with a bashed lashes.Soo cute and funny.
    His lips was just pure pink.
    “Ohh my Lotanna, what are you doing on phone?”, I asked.
    “sorting out some issues with my workers online” he replied, piously.

    “Lotanna now that you’re in the village, will you stop this type of dressing
. You are a prince” I said and sat beside him.
    “I seriously don’t like the prince dressing,I feel so uncomfortable
”
    he replied

    “what did you eat?? Did you taste the White soup?? you should taste it,it is really garnished with stock fish, fresh meat from an antelope,cow skin and plenty shrimps” I said.
    He coughed playfully and hastily pick his glass of wine

    “mom,remembered I brought a chef from abroad.I don’t think I need all those ones you’re saying”He said.
    I smiled.

    “then get ready for princess Akuna’s birthday party. It is in the next village and of course many wealthy princes would be there.Akuna is the most beautiful maiden,then Olamma from this kingdom” I said.
    waaaaaaaat!.Headache!
    Lotanna whyned,I pulled him to a hug and rub his back slowly..
    I don’t know why I still always great him like a baby.
    “You and your twin brother would be attending” I said

    “what’s the point of going when I don’t understand the language” he says.I playfully drawed his ear..
    “I will go if only you will sing for me”

    HE said and strolled in the room..
    His catwalk was just so amazing!
.
    I know Princess Akuna will fall in love with one of my sons.
    I smiled


    🧡 ADEIFE’S POV 🧡

    I stopped halfway on the road to catch my breath. I continued afterwards and decided to meet Ngozi first so she won’t be disappointed. I will just tell her am not interested so that I can complete my chores. .I don’t just want to keep her waiting.
    Something shook my toe as I ran,
    I didn’t even check it.

    Soon I got to the lovers spot and net her waiting patiently..she saw me and frowned.I know I took time to arrive.
    “Ife what happened,you kept me waiting I was almost giving up on you.Don’t do this again
 I really don’t like compromises” she said.

    I look down at my foot,.just little blood.I brought out the ointment from my breast wrapper.That same ointment I had wanted to give the prince.I sat on a stone to apply it.
    “wait,just let me remove it”
    Ngozi said and helped.
    “do you still want to go?”, she asked.
    “I would love to but I still have work to do..Onome poured all the water that I fetched on the morning away, she said I should refetch after that,I should wash olamma cloths” I said.

    Ngozi clapped her hands in dismay.
    “you should wash olamma cloths
 are you really *stupid? does olamma not have hands to wash?”, she questions.
    “Hmm olamma does no work at home. She does not even knows how to sweep. My father usually says Olamna is too beautiful to sweep,the broom might shook her skin.
    They always make ms do it ..
    even my father hates me,my only friend is Ngozi, am scared she will also leave me.My mind says it!
    I said with a pained expression.

    Ngozi hugged me. “Friends forever,I don’t leave you,no matter the pain,no matter the comma,no matter how deep it hurts,I will stand by you
cause I BELIEVE you’re beautiful too” she said and hugged me.
    “so what do we do?”, she asked.
    “I don’t know,I really want to go” I said

    she smiled and started applying the substance on my face
    She let down my hair and braided it in a very simple way.

    “there’s a change of plan
” sgevsayd as she brought out another new wrapowt,this one was with bead.
    I want you to use your shape to advise this wrapper for my mama. In case anyone ask you where you get this from,simply tell the it is from Ogechi,the cloth trader in Deerah kingdom” she said.
    I nodded and dressed up.
    She shared her waist bead with me also
. soo creative.
    “Remember one hour! she said,we both ran.I was seriously counting time
.the next village was far but we passsed many shortcuts.

    Should I say an hour elasped.
    She applied another of the substance finally we entered the village.
    A big waoow escape my mouth.
    I saw different maidens.All eyes followed I and Ngozi.
    đŸšș my gaaaaad!
    đŸšș she’s dipped in beauty!
    đŸšș Enameled with fair skin!
    đŸšș Toasted with naturality!
    đŸšș Who can she be?????
    my eyes caught many princes gaze, I looked away,strictly based on Ngozi orders


    Many maidens surrounded me.
    for the first time in my life am getting fame..
    đŸšș hi,can I know where you get this dress from???
    đŸšș can I touch your hair!!!
    so much questions came.
    I caught olamma among the people that surrounds me.
    đŸšș Are you also a princess! Olamma asked.I bet she doesn’t recognize me

    “Yes, am a princess
my name is Ife. Princess Ife! And shift back,you’re bathing me with your saliva”I said to Olamma.
    she rolled her eyeballs and walked away
.
    “who’s that??”, Princess Akuna came out,our eyes locked.
    A frown quickly formed on her forehead. Guess she’s angry someone dress best than the celebrant..
    “who are you?”, she asked rudely.
    “Princess Ife” I replied.
    “Princess Ife
. I see,that does not exist” she said.

    More princes tropped into the party.
    Akuna walked out rudely,Olamma followed her

    I enjoyed myself so much for the first time in my life!
    It was time for dance,I joined the crew the princes watched.
    I turned sideways and catch the twins gazes.. I can’t even tell who is who.Do I even know their names?
    chai just 5more minutes.
    I better leave
 Arinze was giving me signals, none had the courage to meet me!

    I left the dancing place,Ngozi said she isn’t going now

    I turned to leave,Arinze was already at my back.
    I froze
. chimoooo just 2more minutes..
    “May I??? he said and stretched his palms

    “no no no!!! I said,I didn’t realize my voice came out as music..

    The Girl He Never Noticed 🧡

    The guards held me and made me stand well,I felt dejected. When will I stop causing trouble for Olamma?.
    seems my heart is a trouble lover.
    I hastily bowed for my princes

    “take her away” one of the twins said,the harsh prince.
    “may you live long my prince”
    the guards said, the other maidens hastily bowed but they won’t still stop drooling and making seductive moves,especially Adanna.
    I was taken away with a band tied on my wrist.

    The quiet prince,the one whom I gave a cut didn’t speak,he walked away.
    I don’t just know why I feel scared of the twins princes,have never feared anyone this way.

    we reached the palace entrance,a cold shiveriness shook my body as a loud gasp escaped my mouth..
    hmmmm it is my first time coming to the palace and it is sooooo beautiful exactly like the mansions that were told in fairy tales.
    I saw pure diamonds first time in my life


    KING AZUKA THE SECOND was inscribed on top of the gate,I made sure i touched the gates as we moved in.
    it was a mansion indeed.
    There were different flowers,three separate huge mansions in the wide palace a very big area was decorated the inside was a bluish water,it was so pretty down there.I wish I could jump inside right away.
    “miss stay well” one of the guards said


    Oopps! did I forget I caused a scandal earlier???
    even the god knows am stupid.
    we approached the entrance door,the door was opened by a guard.The queen was even coming out.
    I hastily went on my kneels with a bow,I wanted to touch the
    queen feet that was adorned with bracelets but I reframed myself..
    “your highness!
    I said shyly,my eyes down.
    there was a brief silence
..
    “what have she done again?”, the queen finally spoke”.
    my palms already became sweaty.So she knows me already.The guards bowed


    “isn’t this chief kelechi’s daughter?”, the queen asked.

    “yes she is my lord.She created another scandal,she colided into the princes and soaked them with water.
    Prince Lotanna also got injured by her broken pot” the guard explained.
    đŸšș my son!
    đŸšș my chidi!(my pillar)
    đŸšș my mma(handsome)
    đŸšș mypeaceful Lotanna
.
    đŸšș did his skin get infected
he just came back from the states!
    the queen exaggerated, I felt bad as she speaks.
    “take her away
out of my sight!
    “lock her up in the outside prison
thank goodness the sun is out” the queen said in furry.

    The guards took me up and dragged me along.After 30mins walk,we approached the prison yard.
    The door opened, I hastily entered.
    Chai this sun
.chimo what have I done?.
    I bite my lips as I remembered I have not still eaten.I felt discomfort on one of my fingers.
    hmmm I also got a wound but it’s little,the princes own was really huge.

    How I wish I can meet him this cream I made for wounds,it will heal quickly.

    🧡 OLAMMA’s P.O.V 🧡

    “Nne am hungry!!!!!
    I shouted while still checking my reflection on the mirror.
    I cat walked seductively and stared at my beauty

    Gosh Olamma why so pretty!!!!
    you’re lucky Chai
. once the prince sees you
.boom he will fall for you

    he is gonna fall for you so deeply!
    no one would be able to control him,
    he would forever drool over your brown skin that shine like diamonds,
    everyday and night he will want to hold you, he won’t wanna trade,you for anything but you must proove really hard to get! my inner mind told me.

    I smiled to myself as I picked the rarest waist bead in my treasure,it was given to me by a wealthy cocoa trader who came from a very far village.I would have accepted his proposal but I thought of my village princes
.
    rumors had it that they are extremely wealthy,they have hundreds of people working under them in the states


    Most especially Lotanna,
    rumors said he is brainy
he does more of brain works .
    ohh my prince Lotanna,forever mine.
    “what’s making mma smile like this?”, mother asked as she came in with covered dishes in two separate calabash.
    I smiled faintly and sat like a queen i uncovered the dishes,the aroma of the richly garnished ogbono soup filled everywhere.

    “mother you’re a good cook..don’t sorry Adeife would be our maid once the prince marry me” I said as I took a meat from the ogbono soup,I threw it in my mouth.
    my smiles fades away
instantly,I spilled it out.
    My dad a respectable chief came in..
    “nne what’s all this!!!! I shouted as I stood up.

    “my ornament, ogini(what is it)”,
    my dad quickly came to my side.
    should I say my dad cherish me more than my mother,it was because of me he was made a chief,
    if not for the gifts from my numerous admires, we won’t be this rich- that’s why he calls me ornament

    “Ogini????”, father sounded louder.
    “this is nonsense, she cooked nonsense! I blurted out .
    my dad moved closer and had a taste of the ogbono soup.

    He spilled it out immediately.
    my mom stood up with a frown.”the soup was very moderate” she said and had a taste of it,she spilled it out immediately.
    “see your life,you can’t even cook a soup
you can’t take care of our most beautiful Olamma” my dad scorned and took me out.
    “Kele!!!! my mom shouted but we already gone far.

    He actually took me to the food seller store. People cleared way for me,I catwalked in all smile

    So good to be in control.
    “I will pay for everything,just give her all what she wants.I love girls who are crazily set,when ever I see one like her,my head go de scatter scatter!! Arinze,the village drunkard said.

    I took time in selecting all what I want,I ate in relishment.
    đŸšș Luna! Luna!!!!
    arinze started hailing me,my dad already left.
    đŸšș Luna you’re the love of my life

    đŸŽ¶ anytime I look at you,
    đŸŽ· my heart beat wilder wilder sooooo
    he sang as he came close to me.
    “let’s seal this friendship with a deep romance
I promise I won’t penetrate” he whispered.

    He so much smell of liquor

    “it requires ego(money)” I said.
    “you know I have money” he said.
    I nodded and touch his chest

    I smiled.Arinze is actually the hardworking type just that he is a drunkard.

    Night came


    Adeife! Adeife!
    I searched out around, it was night already.I haven’t even eaten anything. This hunger put me in trouble already,I know it will kill me last last.
    The prison door opened.
    “young maiden you’re free for today.Your punishment cintinues tomorrow.You are to come here very very early to sweep the palace and the palace way” the guard said.
    he couldn’t even look into my face.
    I held my ear as I nodded.
    I ran out


    Everywhere in the palace was shining light,I passed the water area..it was sooooo pretty..I admired a little bit and ran out.
    I met Ngozi.The only maiden in deerah kingdom that shares secret with me..maybe because we are the same thing.
    Am ugly with the most perfect shape,
    she’s beautiful with the most worst shape
her legs are bent on each sides..

    God is really great.
    she also have a step mother,her step mother isn’t as wicked as mine.
    “Ngozi how are you?”, I asked.
    “I’m fine” she said.
    She is in a hurry,am in a hurry.
    we both ran as we talk.
    “Tomorrow is princess Akuna’s birthday.it is surely gonna be a blast” she said.
    “that rude princess
anyways good for her,my congratulations to her”
    I said.
    “my step mother bought me new wrapper and beads” she said..
    “I wish I were in your shoes” I said.

    “I wish I have your shape” she replied.
    “what’s the usefulness of my shape when am ugly” I said.
    “do you believe you’re pretty
do nor BELIEVE in what others say
your name is Adeife meaning crown of love.Ife you’re pretty.Ife BELIEVE, BELIEVE IFE” she said.

    I kept quiet as we ran.
    “will you attend the party as a beautiful maiden- I will change your facials by applying some substances in your face
.don’t worry you will change your name no one will recognize you in the party
.
    But– the substance only last for one hour
after one hour,your face will change to the way you are before

    will you go???
    Are you interested????? she asked.

    The Girl He Never Noticed 🧡

    Onome a middle aged woman rushed outside the hut of the most powerful dibia with a verrry big black pot on her head, she looked left and right to see if anyone was coming, sure that no one was coming she dropped the pot hurriedly and brought out a red substance from her cloth.
    she took it close to her mouth.
    “papa papa papa! she called three times.
    “papa papa papa!
    she repeated.

    “papa Onome your daughter is here again, wherever you are be it sea, ocean, lake, river, stream or land papa come to me do not forsake me for all my trust are bestowed on you” she shrieked and licked little out of the substance.
    A strong wind blew them a very old man dressed in an all black attire appeared out of nowhere.
    “here i am my daughter” he said.
    she quickly knelt down.

    “the eyes of the gods here I am again to renew the sacrifice of ugliness” Onome said and brought out a beautiful baby doll.She bowed as she presents it.
    “I want her to be more more ugly

    papa make this spell strong stronger strongest this time around I want people to run away from her,I want to see her being treated with disdain”

    Onome solicited.
    “consider it done
..
    just make sure she doesn’t sing,let her run away from music, the more she run away from singing,the more her spell last” the dibia said and disappeared away with the doll.
    Onome smiled to herself as she thanked her creator, she rushed back to the hut she stays with Adeife,her step daughter and Olamma, her daughter.

    Her own daughter Olamma is the most beautiful maiden after the princess from the next kingdom.
    People come from far and near just to see Olamma and of course would die just to be her friend.

    At age 21, she already have hundreds of suitors but she refused them bluntly saying that her own prince charming is yet to arrive.
    Adeife’s case is the reverse,her ugliness is a thing that makes people run away from her,she doesn’t have friends at all which made her graduated into a complete introvert.Her only friend is the village stream,a place she can always find solace to pour out her heart.

    The sun was already out immediately Onome got home.
    “where are these children?
    “where is this stupid girl!

    she scoffed and banged into her hut.
    She entered the room,her daughter Olamma was sleeping comfortably on the wooden bed,the lantern was out but Ife could still be seen sleeping on the cold floor with just a wrapper even when the bed is wide enough to contain three people.
    “she’s still sleeping!
    Onome shot Ife a glare and rush out to get a bucket of cold water.

    🧡 Adeife 🧡

    why is my life so painful?

    swears I really wish I won’t wake up today,I wish for death.Dying is at least better than embarrassment and trouble.
    even the neighborhood now knows me as an ugly duckling.

    My step mother is not even helping issues at all my dad case is more worst he doesn’t like looking at me he once disowned me publicly saying he never gave birth to an ugly being, that was the most painful experience of my life,only my sister gets all the praises,care and attention.
    om why did you die when you know you can’t stay with me, mom this is not really fair oooo

    I don’t really know you but people usually says you’re a slave,they said you’re actually one of those women who was captured during the last war,my dad was the one who bought her away from slavery.

    Fine you ain’t a slave again
.but mom this is not really fair.
    someone poured cold water on me,I sprang up with shivering.
    “morning nne..ga anĂč agolongo ndĂș (you will live long)” I greeted.

    “let your mother live long cos I never for once gave birth to an ugly duckling” she shouted.
    Olamma woke up,the shout I guess.
    she stood up and stretched herself well, she couldn’t even greet mother.
    “is it morning already*
    sleeping Olamma asked.
    “yes my Luna, it is” Onome replied her daughter tenderly as she faced me.

    “this is the second month now and you’ve still not save up to the required amount that is needed
Are you seriously getting lazy?”, Onome asked with tension.
    “no nne I will work harder” I said.
    Olamma laughed mockingly, I shot her a stare

    “how much can an ugly duckling save up” she said and brought out a bag from her breast wrapper.
    “nne this is my support”
    she said as she gave mother the bag.
    Of course it must have been given to her by one of her numerous boyfriend.

    đŸšș ohh my Luna

    đŸšș my daughter
.
    đŸšș the next queen of Deerah kingdom

    đŸšș Olamma you will live long,
    đŸšș never in your live will you know poverty nor give birth to worthless kids 
.
    Onome started praising Olamma who kept on smiling.

    She stopped and faced me with furry.
    “what are you still waiting for?”,
    she shouted,I ran away to the kitchen with a dautless heart. I already know how to endure pains.

    I picked a pot from the kitchen and wanted to leave but I stopped on a second instant.
    There’s something on fire,
    I used my rapper to open the pot, aroma of the steaming ogbono soup filled everywhere.In fact the soup was richly garnished but no matter enticing it might be,I won’t still get carried away cos my mouth won’t taste it.When last did I even eat meat.

    I looked at the pot on fire and thought of what to do then I used a small calabash to pour plenty salt into the soup,since she enjoy picking on me,this is her punishment
.
    no one embarrass me and go scot free.I tied the bag of salt well and headed for the stream.

    I met my mates on the way.
    as usual I was avoided as a plague, no one talks to me ..
    “Hi Ife,where is Olamma?”,
    chiamanda spoke to me for the first time,she waved as she spoke to me with gestures..she couldn’t even look into my face.
    I ignored her question

    why should I answer her when she is always speaking bad about my appearance..

    If she wants to see Olamma then should go and check her at home by herself.
    đŸšș gaaaad that girl,she’s sooo ugly!
    đŸšș is she human???
    đŸšș Tufiakwa,I can’t look at her!
    đŸšș so disgusting,I don’t want to get infected!.
    I heard murmurs.
    more maidens tropped in..
    they continue chatting till we get to the stream.
    “hmmm do you know chidinma,the daughter of the palm wine tapper?
    chiamanda asked


    “that girl
 eyah as beautiful as she is hunn it’s not suppose to be her”
    vivan said with care.
    “she’s pregnant! the rape scandal!
    chiamanda bursted out.
    “ohh my gaaaad! chioma shouted.
    “good for her,thank goodness”
    Adanna whispered.
    “ahh this is not really good”
    vivan,the most caring maiden and of course the daughter of a wealty merchant said.She is known for the best best dress sense
..
    I listened to their conversation by the stream as I waited patiently for who would help me lift my pot on my head.

    “what is not really good? do you know what that stupid chidinma did to me? she snatched Emeka from me.It was my creator that made her to get raped
..that’s how the end should look like for people like her”.
    Adanna said,joyfully.
    “do you know what again?”,
    chiamanda trapped their interest again.

    “our princes are back from the states” she said.Adanna jumped up.
    “you mean the twins
. awww how I wish I can identify them,they so much look alike,I just hope there won’t be a problem on who will asccend the throne” vivan giggled.
    “the strongest ascends the throne”.
    chiamanda said.
    “no it depends on who the gods choose” Adanna replied.
    I watched as the girls helped their selves


    Vivan looked at my side with so much care, I know she will help me lift my pot
..
    Adanna stamped her feet on the floor, I might not understand words well but I know gestures.
    “It’s none of your business who she choose to help” I said,directly to Adanna.
    “what’s the architect of your problem did I talk to you?”, Adanna fired back, getting ready to pick a fight.

    Vivan smiled and helped me with one hand. Only her looks into my face while talking to me.
    “ugly pig”, Adanna said lowly.
    “For the fight, come back tomorrow am not in the mood. If care is not taken I will wound you desperately”
    I warned Adanna.
    She kept quiet.
    “thank you my friend” I said to Vivian.

    “anytime” she replied.
    the maidens walked on one side gisting, I followed the other side of the way listening to their gists.At times I wish I am beautiful too.

    Soon I got absent mindedly in my thoughts

    aaag hunger will soon kill me.
    I was even thinking desperately as I walked..
    “chimmooo
.Ife
. Adeife!
    I heard Vivian voice,I already got irresponsible in my thoughts,I jammed a figure,my pot fell and broke into pieces..I raised my head.
    whoops! they are two

    Guards rushed to cover them,instantly I went on mgmy kneels as fear gripped me.

    “ohhh my gaad my princes 
.the twin princes! I startled.
    all thanks to Onome that made me so stupid,thinking of hunger.
    The maidens stop on one side and covered their mouth in shock.
    I raised my head slowly, and I swer they are the same
.same appearance,they both look like Greek gods with their very fair tonned skin complexion.They both have the same royalty head band,it seems there’s no difference between them.

    “get her in captive for her carelessness” one of the princes spoke in a strange language,it was very fast and fluent.He covered his face as he shifts back ..
    I look sideways and saw the maidens drooling
.
    đŸšș my prince don’t get infested!
    Adanna said.
    đŸšș chai
that was how she was born..like a pig” chiamanda said.
    I shakes my head and did the begging sign


    one of the twin was harsh,
    The other twin kept quiet and look down at his wrist near his royal bracelets,on his fingers were two simple black rings that match with the princes necklace on his neck.
    He wanted to look through my face,I covered it.
    “ohhh goodness,
    my pot gave him a cut!!!!!
