Prologue . I was not a child born with luck, good things was never meant for me, maybe my creator brought me to this world so I can pay for the sins I had committed in my previous life, my mother died after given birth to me so i was told by Nneka and Uzochi, they are the couples that took me in and called me their own even when I was rejected from birth. My mother that I never got the chance to know because she was taken away from me by the cold hands of death was banished from her village because she was accused of killing my father her husband, she was already pregnant with me at that time, with no place to go she wander the forest for five days without food or water, after five days in the forest she fell into Labour her scream got the attention of Uzochi who is an hunter and had gone to check his traps, he helped my mother to deliver a little baby girl (that's me) right there in the forest as there was no time to take her to the village midwives, there she told Uzochi everything that had happened to her before giving up the ghost, she was buried there in the forest by Uzochi which I sometimes go to when I feel like to talk to her, Uzochi took me home and showed me to his wife Nneka, they both agreed to take me in because they were in great need of a child at that time after many years of marriage with no child to call their own, to them I was a blessing. The villagers wasn't pleased with their decision because of the circumstances surrounding my birth, it has never been heard that a child was deliver in a forest in the land of Amucha, so because of this they called me unclean, it was reported to the king but seeing that Uzochi and Nneka has been longing to have a child for many years he decided to allow them keep me as a way to show appreciation for the good deeds they have been doing for the people of Amucha, yes Uzochi and Nneka are both good heartened people, they both became the parents I never had. My bestfriend name is chiamaka as she was the only one that her parents allowed to play with me because Nneka was a close friend to her mother, life went on like that until one faithful day that Uzochi my father went to the forest but didn't return alive, I was 15years old at that time, he was attacked by a wild animals, other said it was a lion while other said otherwise but either way we (Nbeka and I) had lost someone dearest to us, things never remained the same after that, we mourn him even up still now, things became worst for me after the death of Uzochi because I was blame for his death, I try to ignore them because I had mama (Nneka) and thinking with time they will let it rest but it was like the more time flies the more frustrated they made me feel, My name is Amarachi and this is my story. .

MY VILLAGE PRINCE AND I Sequence 1 I opened my eyes to behold a new day, the sun has not yet raised so it was easy to tell that it was still very early in the morning, I looked out of the window that was just opposite my bed without moving, wasn't ready to get up just yet, well that has been my routine for the pass four years that my father died, ever since I was a child I would wake up so early just to go with him to check his traps sometimes he took me along when ever the place is close by while other times he refuse saying he was going deep down into the forest, even after he was gone I still find myself waking up early at each passing day because waking up early was already used to me. The sky was becoming clearer that also brighten up my room giving way to see how tidy my room is which consists of a mattress that is lay on the floor facing the window which is covered with a curtain and the door by my head side also covered with a curtain, my bags which we normally call Ghana must go four of them place at the ending of the bed very close to the window, a ceiling fan and a blue carpet which goes with the wall, it's a small room but comfortable for me. I was still waiting for the sun to fully rise while my mind went to the activities I had to take care of that morning trying to arrange the chores in my head because today being Saturday I have a lot to take care of , I rose up immediately as soon as the sun had fully risen putting on my clothes I left my room, I passed my mother's room which was just close to my room heading to the backyard, I didn't want to disturb my mother because I knew she will still be sleeping, I don't need to described my house because it's just a commonly villages house that has four rooms, a sitting room, a kitchen that is built at the backyard, then at the left side is the bathroom, there was enough space in the compound so most of the empty space we turned it into a farm. I took some water with a small bowl from one of the water drum that was placed just close to the kitchen, using the water to wash my face, hands and feet, there wasn't need to take my bath that morning as I had lot of house chores that needed to be done, I gently place the bowl back at it spot and I picked up my bucket and my wrapper that was hanging on the rope and headed to the public borehole. Amucha is recognized as one of the peaceful community in Imo state, with good roads, standard education, steady lights and water and Of course good security, enriched with a lot of natural resources and cultural heritage, for this purpose both the rich and the poor acknowledge Amucha as a home to stay or visit making my village one of the richest in all of igbo land that you will mistake it for a little city, with constant borehole you don't have to worry about having clean water. I met Chiamaka few meters away from my house waiting for me, she was also holding a bucket and a small cloth, she looks beautiful in her blue dress, Chiamaka is what they call your black is so beautiful, she was not too tall but okey for a girl her age. Chiamaka and i are age mates, she is dark in complexion while am very fair in complexion, she is taller then I am because an average in height, but we both have same shape in fact we are both beautiful, as I approach her she let out a warm smile. CHIAMAKA: Good morning Amarachi. AMARACHI: Good morning, how was your night. CHIAMAKA: my night was not bad, I won't bother to ask about yours because I know it was good. Both of us laugh it off. AMARACHI: let's us be going, you know I want us to quickly get there on time so we could also leave there on time before Ada and her bodyguards comes ohhh. When I said bodyguards I meant her two serpents that are with her as a form of friends Oluchi and Ugoma. CHIAMAKA: you are right, you know that girl is trouble. We quickly set on our way not wanting to waste another time standing there, I was really avoiding Ada because she was trouble to me, Ada was a girl around my age I guess, she was one of the people that makes my life miserable in Amucha village, she is the only daughter of a very powerful chief and I heard that he is also good friend to the king (i don't know his name) so that always gives her the power to do what she want, well to me obviously, I wasn't scared of her but I was just trying to stay out of trouble since she is classed as one. We arrived at the borehole on time thanks to God there was less people there, it got to our turn and we quickly fetch our water, helping each other we put the bucket on our heads and headed on our way, I thanked God that I passed this morning without facing Ada but my appreciation didn't have the time to get to heaven because Ada decided to show her face, she and her two devils Oluchi and Ugoma walk majestically directly to us, I guess they have already seen us. CHIAMAKA: ( in a whisper) talk of the she devil and her serpents. I let out a loud sigh I already knew today is going to be another episode of war. To be continued..

hmm let's see how it goes

Let see what happened next...

Ok nah, what next...

OK...

MY VILLAGE PRINCE AND I Sequence 2 Just as I thought, the moment they came close to us they blocked our path, I and chiamaka glare at each other giving ourselves knowing looks, we tried to move to the other open space but yet again we were blocked by them, chiamaka was the first to voice out as I had nothing to say. CHIAMAKA: what is all this, what do you want from us this time. They stared at themselves and just as I expected they burst into laughter, I and chiamaka just looked at them waiting for them to finish with what ever that is amusing them. ADA : oh please please please, what could we need from people like you, please give us some credit. CHIAMAKA : if you need nothing from us then why are you blocking our path. OLUCHI : who is blocking your path, oh you want us to give way for you when you should be the one that should run into the bush and hide your face when you see us passing. UGOMA : tell them, maybe they don't know that dogs and kings don't eat in the same table. CHIAMAKA: oh we should run into the bush for you as what. We were still carrying our bucket of water and it was already telling on me, if not for the bucket of water I wouldn't have said a word to them. AMARACHI: Ada please I don't have time for your trouble today, we can do this some other day but not today, as you can see there are heavy bucket of water on our heads, so please let us pass next time we will run into the bush when we see you. I said as calmly as I can but instead I got another round of laughter, this was becoming frustrating. ADA : oh the bucket is heavy and it's on her head let us help her with that. She said in a mockery sound talking to Oluchi and Ugoma, before I could put out of what she meant by that she pushed the bucket from my head and it fell causing some water to pour and me, and immediately they burst into another round of laughter, I couldn't tell what I felt that minutes because I so wanted to strangle her to death, I looked at chiamaka who was looking so surprise. CHIAMAKA: (shouting) why will you do that. ADA: you better watch that tongue of yours before I also help you with your bucket. AMARACHI: Ada, Ada, Ada how many times did I call you, Ada don't push me, don't push me. ADA: and if I do what will you do, obviously nothing, the list you can do is to go running to your stupid mother. I was shocked and angry at the same time, how dare she talk to my mother like that. AMARACHI: my mother. I looked at chiamaka who had already dropped her bucket of water, the anger that I was trying to control gave way, I send a resounding slap on her face, she looked shocked holding her cheek in which the slap has landed. ADA: you slapped me. AMARACHI: that is what you get for opening that your gutter mouth to talk to my mother like that. Oluchi raised her hand to slap me but I saw that coming as I moved back dodging the slap, almost immediately Ada rushed into me and we started another episode of war. I was a good fighter, not even four girls can withstand me, some say I fight with evil powers as I had the strength of a man yet I wonder why will anyone wants to cross my path knowing fully well that thay will be defeated. As always I and chiamaka sent them running promising hell as they use to, I and chiamaka was breathing heavily challenging them to come for more, our clothes were a little bit stained but can't say the same for them as we used the wet sand my water has fallen upon to paint them, we looked for our slippers, I would have loved to go back to the borehole to fetch another bucket of water but the force in which the bucket fell broke caused it to break, nevertheless I still picked it up, I helped chiamaka with hers and we went our way raining curses on them. My mother was in the kitchen when I walked in, I greeted her placing the bucket angrily on the ground, she got up from the stool she was sitting on looking worried. NNEKA : Amarachi, what is it, you didn't fetch the water again. AMARACHI: is it not Ada and her gangs. NNEKA : Don't tell you you got into another fight. AMARACHI: it was them na, look ( picking the broken bucket from the ground and showing it to her) at what they did to my bucket, they broke it. NNEKA: what is all this, why won't this people let I and my daughter live in peace.( sign heavily) it's okay don't worry. AMARACHI: I want to go inside and change so I can take another bucket to go and fetch water. NNEKA : no no don't worry, just go change and come to do other things, you will fetch water tomorrow, there is enough for us today. AMARACHI : ok mama. NNEKA: give me that (taking the bucket from my hand) go inside. I smile at her and she did same, my mother always find a way to calm my anger well that's why she is called my mother. The day went by very fast and before we could know it evening came, we had just finished eating our dinner, I was in my room reading an interested story called The Abominable Act written by Joy Osamudiamen when I heard my mother voice calling my name, I quickly placed the book on my bed and rush out to answer her, she was in the sitting room with a bible on her hands which shows she has been going through the word of God like she always does, don't get me wrong I am a strong believer but not just like my mother. AMARACHI: mama you called me. NNEKA: yes I did, please sit down. I sat down opposite her, I knew I was in for her lectures but don't really know what this is all about, I watched her as she placed her bible on top of the center table, she clear her throat before opening her mouth to speak. NNEKA: do you know the meaning of your name. AMARACHI: yes mama NNEKA: good now if you know the meaning of your name you will not be concerned over what people do or say to you, do you know that. AMARACHI: I think I do. I was trying hard to understand where she was heading to but just couldn't, for all I know I wasn't bother about what others do or say to me well I do feel bad most times but today was not part of those days not even what happened today killed my happiness. AMARACHI: mama, I don't understand, do I look sad or hurt to you. NNEKA : I know you don't, Amarachi I will not ask you to explain to me what happened this morning because I already knows who is at fault. AMARACHI : mama I know that you are not happy about the fight that happened between I and Ada this morning but you know me mama, if not for the fact that she disrespected you I would have held my peace, but I just needed to teach her a lesson not to involve my mother in any of our misunderstanding ever again. This made my mother laugh, I didn't think it was funny any way I joined her. NNEKA: right from the first day I set my eyes on you I knew you were a strong warrior, if you weren't you couldn't have survived in your mother's womb for five whole days without nothing, but still I want you to always learn how to tolerate okey, no matter what the case may be, now promise me that you will not involve yourself in fighting again. I looked at my mother uncertain of what to say, how could she tell me to promise her, she knows I don't break my promises. NNEKA: Amarachi, promise me. AMARACHI: okey, I promise. To be continued..

MY VILLAGE PRINCE AND I Sequence 3 AFAMEFUNA POV My name is Afamefuna, Afam as my friends always calls me, I am the only child of Eze Edoziem the mighty king of Amucha village and Eze Nwanyi the beautiful Lolo Agbonma of Amucha village, but I never got the chance to enjoy my cultural heritage as I was sent to the US (United States of America) to complete my education as an engineer, I was only four year old when I was taken from my family that I miss so much, I would have love to visit but I was forbidden by my father saying I needed to finish my education and come out with a flying colors because I had so much to offer to my community, it's been 17 whole years and I have been able to graduate from the university with a first class result and have completed my masters degree now planning for my PhD, I could have loved to go for my PhD in Nigeria where I can be close to my family. I am what you call the ladies man, with a good height, and a body well built, red lips and of course fine face, I am handsome and I don't need you to tell me that, in as much as ladies find me attractive I just can't say same for me, yes I have been with a couple of women but I just can't be committed to one lady as there was always something missing when ever I am with them, I had everything working out for me, I am rice in other word money is never my problem, I know you guys are confused now wondering how can a prince talk about riches this much well yes my father is the king but he also has companies scattered all over the world, my father was already a rice man before ascending the throne which I intend to do before ascending the throne from him, now back to where I stopped. Now with my face fine, and am educated, you could say I had everything but to me I had nothing because my heart was missing something and I can't tell what it is. I woke up to the ringing of my phone, who the hell will be calling at this hour of the day, I curse under my breath, I didn't look at the time but I knew it was pass midnight, I stretch my hand and grab the phone that was still ringing loudly, without looking at the caller I press the answer button. AFAMEFUNA : hello VOICE : hello Afamefuna how are you. Hearing the voice from the other end i quickly got up from my bed and sleep totally left my eyes. AFAMEFUNA: father. EZE NWANYI: my son, how are doing. AFAMEFUNA: am doing fine father, what about you and mother, hope everyone are doing fine EZE NWANYI: yes of course everyone is doing perfectly okey, from your voice I could tell you must have been sleeping. AFAMEFUNA: yes I was but am awake now, hearing your voice have brought me up to my feet. I knew this will make him to laugh and as I expected he did and I also joined him, I wasn't still sure why my father could call me knowing fully well that it was already night fall in US, he normally calls earlier then this. AFAMEFUNA: father, I hope there is no problem. EZE NWANYI: no there is not, or is it wrong now to call my son. AFAMEFUNA: of course not but you never call at this hour, you know it passed midnight here. EZE NWANYI : yes you are right, I called because of something, you are truly your father's son. This brought smile on my face, I always love it when he acknowledge me that way. EZE NWANYI : Afamefuna. AFAMEFUNA: yes father. EZE NWANYI: it has been a long time you left to study in the US, and from all indications you have gotten what ever that made you went there. I wanted to correct him because my PhD is all I needed so I can leave this place, but you know better than interrupting the king when he hasn't end his speech. EZE NWANYI : so I wanted to ask, when are you coming back. His last sentence took me by surprise, for real, like this man was reading my mind, obviously I should be the one asking him the question but it's like God answered my prayer but I still have to keep my cool. AFAMEFUNA : father I would have love to come back home but my PhD is what is holding me, once I am done I will be home. He was silent for some time maybe thinking about what I said. EZE NWANYI: can't you do your PhD some other time, you can come home now and learn a lot about your culture then you can go back to complete your PhD. I was a little disappointed, thought he could suggest I do my PhD in Nigeria but hey I will go for this one. AFAMEFUNA: sure it is fine by me. EZE NWANYI: Good. AFAMEFUNA: so are you telling me to come home. EZE NWANYI: yes Afamefuna, your mother really misses you. I couldn't hold my joy that was inside of me this has been the greatest news I have heard for a long time. AFAMEFUNA: I miss you all too, am really happy that am coming home I have always dreamt of this day, father I will love to come back home by next weekend, is that okey by you. EZE NWANYI : when ever you are ready just let me know, that will be all, you go back to sleep now. AFAMEFUNA: sure father, I will be looking forward to seeing you. The line went dead, I started jumping on my bed happily, this is a good news for me.Through out that night I couldn't sleep as I waited patiently for morning to come, I had to start making preparation. The following days was tough on me as I started making my clearance and other things to get me prepared for my tourney, I broke the news to my friends some were happy for me while others were sad either way they were all going to miss me, my mother call also to share her excitement with me, well why won't she. After I was done will all preparation I call my father informing him on the date I have decided to come home. ******************** AMARACHI POV the days has been going on smoothly I had not seen Ada and her serpents after that day, it been a week now and I thank God for putting them behind me at least I enjoyed the few days without their faces. I and chiamaka were coming from the farm, we have gone early in the morning to get some firewood, yes we do all our chores early hours of the day, we don't go to school anymore, we have wrote our jamb so since our parents could not afford the university we decided to relax for the time been well I won't say same for Ada she failed her jamb and looking forward to rewrite it again, dull brain. The Town Crier sound brought me out of my thought. AMARACHI : what news has he brought from the palace again. CHIAMAKA: no one knows, let's hear what he has to say. We stood where we were so we could hear the news he brought from the palace. TOWN CRIER : Great people of Amucha I greet you all. He started, shouting at the top of his voice. TOWN CRIER: I am here to announce the coming arrival of our crowd prince, heir to the great throne of Amucha kingdom, crown Prince Afamefuna that went to the United States to study, he has decided to come home to his father's land four days from now, the General republic both citizens and non citizens of Amucha kingdom are highly invited as there will enough to eat and drink, I have pass the messages it is left for you to keep the letter. He concluded his speech and went on his way, immediately many passerby started jubilating. AMARACHI: I never knew this village had a prince. CHIAMAKA: am shocked as you are, any way which one is our own, we will go there is eat and get to see the beauty of the palace. AMARACHI: that is if I have nothing to do at home, biko (please) let us be going. We both continue our journey home, I didn't know what I felt in me by the sound of the prince coming back to Amucha village, it was weird to me so I decided to keep it to myself, what ever it is I pray it doesn't come with danger. To be continued..

Sequence 4 Continues.. AFAMEFUNA POV I can't believe finally I am in Nigeria, I felt the hot wind as it hits my face, wow never knew Nigeria was an oven well maybe because I have never experience the weather here but am here now, how was I going to find my way around here, well my father have told me there will be someone to pick me up but I can't find anyone holding a paper with my name on it well I guess I have to figure it out myself, I proceed to the front door. Murtala Muhammad International Airport was fill with people from all works of life, both Britishs, Americans, Africans and more, it was big and beautiful I must confess, I was still admiring the place when I felt the present of someone immediately I turned to see a young man probably my age mate smiling at me, I was a bit confused until he spoke. MAN : you must be prince Afamefuna from Amucha kingdom. AFAMEFUNA: yes I am and you are. Almost immediately he bow his head down, this made me a little embarrassed as I start looking left and right. MAN: my name is victor Enyinnaya, am a son of the soil, I was asked by the king to pick you up. AFAMEFUNA: okey can you rise up now you are already causing a scene. He did as I said and lead me to his car that was parked just few walk away from me, he took my two luggage's from me, as soon as we got to his car he opened the back sit for me, like seriously. AFAMEFUNA: That you so much but I will love to sit at the front. He looked confused but I had not time to say another word to him I moved to the front door, I gently opened it and went in, he stoop there for some time before putting my luggage's in the car and took his position at the driver sit, he starts the car and we went on our way, we drove in silent as I envy the beauty of Lagos. VICTOR : my prince. I turned to face him. AFAMEFUNA : yes VICTOR: you will be lodging in an hotel for today, tomorrow your flight will be leaving for Imo state. AFAMEFUNA: I thought we were heading to Amucha right now. VICTOR: no we are not, it far from here so you will be taking a flight, you could have moved today but your flight was cancelled dew to some problem, your tickets has already been taken care of. AFAMEFUNA : wow, ok no problem, thank you. VICTOR: thank you my prince. We continue our journey in silence, not long we drove into a massive building, after parking we both came down, almost immediately a man dress in a working uniform came to us, he greeted us warmly and took the luggage from victor, I was impressed with the services they offer here, well they have shown first impression. We followed the man and got to the receptionist, she also with her beautiful face and chocolate skin welcomed us with a warm smile which we did same. RECEPTIONIST : welcome to Grands hotel and suite, how may we be of help. VICTOR: a reservation was made for prince Afamefuna Nwanyi. RECEPTIONIST : oh of course, you are welcome, please one minute let me put a call through to the manager. I was surprised at her response, do I need a manager just because I have a reservation here or is it how they welcome everyone with a reservation. Not long a man I think in his late 60s walked to us, he welcome us, mostly me warmly leading us to my room, the hotel matches with its name, Grand Hotel and suite, we took the elevator and in no time we were at my room, it was beautiful I most say, it was a suite with everything screaming wealth, if this is how the rest of the rooms are then this hotel needs to come out first in the Guinness book of records, the manager left after he showed and told me things I needed to know. AFAMEFUNA : wow, like seriously what with all the formality. VICTOR: you don't know That sound confusing. AFAMEFUNA : know what. VICTOR: your father is the owning of this hotel. My mouth almost drop to the ground, whatttt, you must be kidding me, yes I knew my father had a lot of businesses but never knew hotel was included and one as big and luxury as this, now you can imagine my surprise. VICTOR: I will leave you know so you can rest, I will be here tomorrow morning by 10am to take you to the airport. I couldn't respond because I was still lost in the surprise message I just got that I didn't know when he left, it was the sound of the close door that brought me out of my thought. I was indoor for the rest of the day, I wouldn't want another episode of what happened hours ago to repeat itself, I easily feel embarrassed in things like that. Night gone and morning came, I checked the time and it says 8:39 am, I woke up so I could get prepare before victor comes, there was something different about this morning and I love the feeling, I just can't wait to see my parents, I called room service for breakfast which arrived 10minutes after, I had already brushed my teeth, after eating my breakfast I had my bath and got dress, just as I locked my luggage the door bell rang, I went to opened the door and saw Victor standing with the manager, we exchanged pleasantries and in no time I was in the car with victor on my way to the airport. VICTOR: you are humble for a prince. I was taken back by his statement. AFAMEFUNA: excuse me VICTOR : most prince lack manners but you my prince don't. I didn't know when I start laughing. AFAMEFUNA: seriously, come on am only human. VICTOR: that's because you are saying that, most feel like a god, am proud to call you my prince. AFAMEFUNA : you are not bad yourself, and please just call me Afam, it more better. VICTOR: you see what I am saying. And we both went into another round of laughter. AFAMEFUNA: It's nice meeting you. VICTOR: I should be the one saying that. We continue our discussion and said our goodbyes but not without him exchanging his phone numbers to me, I had no Nigeria line for now, in no time I was in the plane heading to my home town, judging from the first day in Nigeria I knew the rest of my stay will be memorable. To be continued..

MY VILLAGE PRINCE AND I Sequence 5 Continues from Afamefuna pov I arrived at Sam Mbakwe Airport, I was welcome with the shock of my life as I came out of the front door, I stood at my track not knowing what was going on, there were up to four cars all parked waiting for me, four maids dressed in yellow long gown and three others in a purple long gown and their hair all wrap in a ponytail type, two of the guards wore a yellow wrapper round their waist and a black multi patterned on top and five more guards wore purple wrapper and same black multi patterned, all the guards were putting on black caps on their heads, there on the floor was a long red rug that leads right directly to a car that is already open for me, before I could say a word the two guards putting on yellow wrapper came and collected my bags from me, they both greeted me in reunion and left, almost immediately the maids putting on the yellow gown stood at both sides of the rug, two at each side holding a little basket of roses, when I thought all was over the worst happened. MAN: welcome home crown prince Afamefuna, heir to the throne of the great Amucha kingdom, son the the great Eze Nwanyi 1 of Amucha, the lion that is fearless...... Shouted the man wearing a white chief attire with red beads and a red cap, there were two of them, well I could tell they were chief because of the red cap on their heads, when the man was done they both walk to me bowing to greet me. 1 MAN: I am Mazi Okafor and this is Mazi Enyinnaya we are from the cabinet meeting, we are sent by the people of Amucha to welcome their prince home. I was already feeling embarrassed as I was seeing people already taking photos or videoing, God I hate this. AFAMEFUNA: thank you very much, so can we go now. MAZI OKAFOR : of course after you my prince. I quickly walked to the car while the four maiden were throwing flowers at my feet, the more I move fast the more the increase theirs. If I said I wasn't amazed then I am lying, it was few hours ride from the airport to my village, sited at the back sit I gaze out of the car window admiring the beauty of Imo state, I was lost in my own thoughts, thinking about the whole drama that have taken place some hours ago at the airport, I thought that was only done in the movies but here I am experience it at first class, I knew it will be hard to believe if I told my friends back in the states because all seem like a fairy tale. GUARD : my prince. Coming out of my thought I looked at the guard that had just called me, he was sited at the front sit while the other drove. AFAMEFUNA : yes GUARD: I want to inform you that we are about to enter Amucha kingdom. Just as he said it, the guard driving turn the car to the another road following the car in front of us, there was a big pillar that the inscription WELCOME TO AMUCHA KINGDOM, THE HOME OF PEACE was boldly written on it. Just then I hear a sound like a trumpet, wondering where it was coming from, the guard told me it was to announce my arrival to the villagers, just as he finished his sentence I saw people going out of stores, houses and others places, many started jubilating while others just watch, the children even made it more fun running along side the cars, young boy followed suit as we drove deeper into the kingdom, that minutes I felt at home, never would I have imagined that the people of Amucha will welcome me this way, even if they don't know me that didn't stop them not to acknowledge and welcome me, I roll down the car window so I could see more clearly. In no time we arrived at the palace, there were alot of people both outside and inside the palace, the car parked in front of the front door, there stood my father, my mother and some chiefs they were all putting on same attire that the two chiefs that came to pick me at the airport wore with red cap and beads, the maids from the airport came down from their cars immediately it stopped and stood at mine, positioning the way they did before, the door was opened and I ran into the arms of my mother, she was more beautiful than her photos and the video call we always have, I was so lost in her tight embrace that I forgot we were outside, she disengage from the embrace bringing back to reality, I did same to my dad and greeted the elders, I was them lead inside, my mother ordered the maids to take me to my room so I could take my bath and dress into something else, I did as I was told, my room was wide and was divided in two parts, it has a little sitting area with leather sofa all neatly arranged, on the wall was a plasma tv and a DvD to go with it, then at the right side lays a king size bed, there is a balcony at the other side with sets of two chairs and a table, at the other end of the room is the bathroom that is wide enough to contain two king size beds, the wall was painted white so is the curtain that has blue flowers drawing on it, the room was magnificent, but there was no wardrobe that I wondered when the clothes stays, on my bed lays an outfit, it was the same outfit as their but was more expensive, with my attire you don't need anyone to tell you who I am, even I couldn't recognize myself in the mirror, at first I had rejected the clothes but one of the men servants begged me to try it on and if I don't love it then I can take it off but to my greatest surprise I loved it, i was helped by two male servant that in no time I was outside with the rest of my family, it was a day of merriment that I was happy I came back home. ************************** AMARACHI POV. I was washing my clothes at the backyard, my mother has left some hours ago to welcome the prince home, I couldn't go because I had a lot to do and I can't skip it for just any prince, chiamaka came to call me earlier but I told her I was busy so she left without me, what will I be doing there anyway when almost all my enemies will be there, well I managed to see the cars that drove him into the kingdom, was coming from the farm where I went to get firewood, I could see how people were very happy to see him, that's for them, the voice of my mother brought me out of my thought. AMARACHI: mama you are back welcome. NNEKA: yes am back. AMARACHI: how was it. NNEKA: it was wonderful, everyone was there, there were lot of food to eat and drink. I sighted the black bag in her hand. AMARACHI: and I see you dealt with the food. She followed my eyes that landed at the bag, this cause her to laugh. NNEKA : I couldn't finish everything there, and besides they also gave us to take home, so I used that opportunity to also bring yours since you refused to come with me. AMARACHI: ah mama if I had gone with you who would have done the cleaning, the fetching of firewood and who could have cooked now am washing the clothes. NNEKA : I know it's okey, you have really tried today, don't worry finished with what you are doing so you can come and eat what I brought for you. AMARACHI: okey mama I will soon be done. With this my mother went inside, I quickly stood up to hang the clothes, anyway I was happy I didn't go because it gave me enough time for me to fetch water without any disturbance from Ada and gangs.

Amara has got chiamaka her best friend...they fought them together...and gave ada and gang a long run,they ran...amara&amaka won

Afam the prince filled with humility is around...Amara is good-is also around...the unexpected love can come through.

Welcome back

Amarachi and the prince have got some chemistry, I sense a lot of troubles for Amarachi already

U both will soon meet. Welcome home prince

Sequence 6 Continues.. AFAMEFUNA POV I was woken up by the sound of a male voice singing praises to me, I cursed under my breath, who was this moron that is disturbing my sleep, I opened my eyes slowly to see a male figure standing close to me bed, he was putting on the guards attire but the wrapper was white. AFAMEFUNA: who the hell are you. GUARD: Good morning my prince, I hope you slept well being last night was the first night you have spent in the palace. AFAMEFUNA: are you deaf, I asked you a simple question, who the hell are you. GUARD: forgive me my prince, I am Nnamdi, your personal men servant, your father assign me to you even before your arrival. AFAMEFUNA: okey, so what are you doing here. NNAMDI : I came to wake you up my prince so you can dress on time to meet up with the royal breakfast. (Pause) Is this guy being serious, he disturbed my sleep because of some stupid breakfast, I just stared at him not knowing what to say to him, I was really upset that if I had my way I would have slapped the foolishness out of him, wait, let me rephrase that statement of course I have my way but hey am not a rude prince, hahahahahahah, where were we, oh okey (Start) AFAMEFUNA : I am going to tell you my rules if you are going to be on the same page with me as my personal servant, rules number one, never ever ever in your life wake me up when ever am sleeping, do we have an agreement. I could see the confusion in his eyes, and I know he was trying to sink in what I just told him. NNAMDI : I will try my prince. AFAMEFUNA: Good, now you can now go while I continue with my sleep. I turned to the other side of the bed backing him, I was hoping to hear his footsteps fading away but I waited but still didn't hear anything, I turned back and to my surprise i behold him still standing there unmoved. AFAMEFUNA : didn't you hear my last statement. NNAMDI : Am sorry my prince but it is a tradition that all royal families are to meet at the royal dinner table for their breakfast. AFAMEFUNA : Really. NNAMDI: yes my prince. Wow, I was so surprise in hearing this, well in as much as I love my sleep I won't want to start breaking rules on my first morning in the palace. AFAMEFUNA: okey, lets do it this way, I am going to sleep for let me say thirty minutes and then you can come back to wake me up. NNAMDI: my prince, you should be ready by forty five minutes, if you use thirty minutes to sleep can you use fifteen minutes to get ready. It was more like a question. Well he was right anyway there was no way I can get ready in fifteen minutes. AFAMEFUNA: fine, you win. I sluggishly got up from the bed, he clapped his hands twice and the door was open and three men servant dress same way as Nnamdi the only difference is that Nnamdi black cap has a white cloth round it, they were all holding different things in their hand, clothes, beads, shoes and some I couldn't see clearly. NNAMDI : those are your clothes, my prince, when you are done with your bath they will help you with dress up. I nodded in agreement and headed to the bathroom. ***************************** AMARACHI POV I and chiamaka went to fetch water as usual, there were alot of people there because most of them didn't come yesterday because of the arrival of the prince, I did fetch a lot of water yesterday but I only came to replaced the ones I used in washing my clothes, we waited for almost an hour before it got to our turn, I thanked my God when we succeeded in fetching our water and headed on our way, Ada and her serpents didn't come today well my luck, wasn't ready to see her again not after the promise I made to my mum. CHIAMAKA : you really missed a lot yesterday at the palace. Chiamaka brought me out of my thought, she sounded happy saying it. AMARACHI: Really, what did I miss, is it the ugly faces of my enemies. CHIAMAKA: ah ah, no na, thank God you said their ugly faces at least you know they are not beautiful so why will you even look at them. We both burst into laughter, truly that was funny. CHIAMAKA : well that isn't the fun part, there were lot of food to eat and drinks to drink, music, in short it was a great day to remember. AMARACHI: yeah I know, I saw what my mother came home with yesterday. CHIAMAKA: and the fun part of it was the prince, you needed to see him, God that guy is handsome. I was surprised seeing my friend talk about a guy so excitedly, I wasn't interested in the discussion but I had to pretend I was interested not to hurt her feeling. AMARACHI: is that so. CHIAMAKA: God, and his smile makes me want to fly. AMARACHI: aaaah, Chiamaka. CHIAMAKA: what AMARACHI : don't tell me you are falling for the prince. CHIAMAKA : nke a (see this one) she said I am falling, I have already fell. AMARACHI: please don't go and put your hope up ooo, but anyway sha, God knows it all, just remember me when you become the queen. I watched as her expression changed to a sad one. CHIAMAKA: biko (please) let's leave that one, what will a prince finds in me anyway, when there are princesses lining up for him, I know by now the king must have even found a beautiful princess for him. AMARACHI: oh you know, and you are here day dreaming. CHIAMAKA: it's not bad to dream sometimes, do you know what it will means if one of us becomes the queen, Ada and her friends won't dare to try us again. In as much as it hard to believe she is right, I have never thought of what it will means to me if I becomes the queen, I won't have to walk in the village with my head low anymore, or let me say if Chiamaka becomes the queen I know she will protect me, but who am I deceiving that kind of a prayers are not meant to be answered. ******************************* AFAMEFUNA POV The breakfast was delicious, as I ate as much as I could that morning, I came down at the dinner on time as the men servants helped me with my clothes, it was the same attire like the ones I wore on the day of my arrival, I think will be my dressing code in all of my stay here, my mother and my father were already at the dining when I got there, I must say my mother was truly a queen to behold with her queens attire, I would have married her if she wasn't my mother, my father too wasn't looking bad. After having my breakfast I went back to my room to rest, I was still very tired after yesterday merriment, I woke up later in the afternoon, the room was becoming boring for me so I decided to go out, I saw Nnamdi standing at my door, don't this guys rest, I didn't have time to question him after all he is only doing his job, I asked after my mum and he took me to her, I used that opportunity to admire the palace, so all this will become mine someday, I saw my mother sitting down at the garden, six maids all dress in white gown was with her, some were massaging her shoulder while some her legs, and some fanning her, they were all singing a beautiful igbo song and I know it pleases my mother because she was enjoying it, I walk up to her smiling, immediately the maids saw me they stopped what they were doing and bow on their knees to greet me, I responded to their greeting. LOLO AGBONMA: you finally came out of your room. AFAMEFUNA : I was bored. LOLO AGBONMA: I know, sit. I sat just close to her, there was a jug and glass of juice on the stool in her left side. LOLO AGBONMA: leave us. And immediately they all left leaving just me and my mother. AFAMEFUNA: mum I've been wondering, what is it with the different colors of attires with the servants, it's getting confusing, what's with the white, purple and yellow dresses. LOLO AGBONMA : you are not the first person to be confused over this, but you see the different colors of attire are to differentiate the role they are playing in the palace. AFAMEFUNA: I still don't get. LOLO AGBONMA: now listen, the ones putting on yellow attires are the ones in charge of the outer palace, the surroundings, making sure everything is in place, and then the one wearing purple attires are the ones in charge of the inner palace, they also help the chef in preparing the meals, then the one on white attire, those are the personal servants, they takes care of the royal families needs, they alone have the right to serve the food like you saw earlier, they alone have access to the inner chambers. I was really amazed with the way everything was organized in the palace. AFAMEFUNA: wow. LOLO AGBONMA: and the last one the ones on black attires. I was surprised to hear this because I haven't seen any servant with black attire. LOLO AGBONMA : don't tell me you haven't seen they. AFAMEFUNA : no, I haven't. LOLO AGBONMA: there were among those that came to pick you at the airport. I tried to recall if I saw them then I remembered something. AFAMEFUNA: I think I have, the guard that was sitting in front of the passers seat on my way to the palace, I didn't see clearly but I think he was putting on black. LOLO AGBONMA: exactly. AFAMEFUNA : ohhh, what are their duties. LOLO AGBONMA: they are the securities, they are the only ones allowed to hold weapons in the palace, they safeguard the royal families, always remember to take two of them with you where ever you are going okey. AFAMEFUNA: of course. LOLO AGBONMA: Good, and each of this groups has a leader, Nnamdi is the leader of the personal men servants your father assigned to you. AFAMEFUNA: oh I see, that's why his cap is different. LOLO AGBONMA: yes AFAMEFUNA: wow, interesting, I....... I was yet to complete my sentence when I heard a female voice throwing greetings to my mother. To be continued..

MY VILLAGE PRINCE AND I Sequence 7 Continues from Afamefuna pov I turned to see a light chocolate girl standing with a smiling face, she had a light makeup on, her gown resting a little above her knees, she had a good body structure I must confess. GIRL : Good afternoon my prince. AFAMEFUNA : Good afternoon to you too. She was all smiling and starring at me, well I know that look, my good look always attract ladies to me and this one just seems to fall for my charms. LOLO AGBONMA: Ada what are you doing in the palace today, did you come with your father. ADA : No my queen, my mother sent me to you. LOLO AGBONMA: hope all is well. ADA : yes my queen, she asked me to bring this for you. She brought a small black bag. ADA : she said its the jewel she promised to buy for you. LOLO AGBONMA: oh, that's very sweet of her, I really appreciate this. My mother signal to one of her personal maid that came running, the maid took the bag from the girl and left, even as she was talking to my mother her eyes were still all over me. LOLO AGBONMA: tell her that I will come visiting soon, I have something important to discuss with her. ADA: okey my queen, I will deliver the message. LOLO AGBONMA : thank you, and before I forget, Afam. I raised up my head to look at my mother. AFAMEFUNA: yes mum. LOLO AGBONMA: this is Ada, the only daughter of Mazi Amadi, he is one of the chiefs and your father child hood friend, isn't she beautiful. AFAMEFUNA: of course she is, nice meeting you. She laughed shyly. ADA: thank you my prince, I will take my leave now my queen. LOLO AGBONMA: no problem you take care of yourself. ADA: I will my queen. She looked at me one more time and walked away, I bet she was trying to get my attention with the way she walks. AFAMEFUNA : mother, why do I have this feeling that you are trying to hook me up with that girl. LOLO AGBONMA: oh come off it, why will you say that, you are the future king of Amucha kingdom, you are free to choose any woman you want, so why will I hook you up with anyone. She said taking a zip from her drink. In as much as she was hiding her intention from me I knew it was a matter of time before she let it out, and I will laugh at her face when she finally does. ****************************** AMARACHI POV It was a hot afternoon, my mother was not at home because she had gone to the women's meeting, so I was home alone, I was sitting outside because inside was very hot so having fresh air outside wasn't a bad idea for me, I was reading my bible, just felt like to go into the word of God, I heard someone called my name from afar, I raised my head to see Chiamaka runing to me, I too got up in shock as she approached me. AMARACHI: Chiamaka, who is chasing you. She was breathing heavily. AMARACHI: you are getting me scared. She caught her breath starring at me like I have lost my mind, she burst into an uncontrollable laughter, this got me annoyed. AMARACHI: Chiamaka, what is all this, do you know you almost got me an heart attack. CHIAMAKA: sorry but you needed to see your face. She continue laughing, I sat down ignoring her. CHIAMAKA: sorry ooo, didn't mean to scare you. She said taking another chair and sat down. AMARACHI: I wonder what made you ran into my house like that. I was still angry with her and she knows this. CHIAMAKA: am sorry na, haven't I apologize I promise not to do it again, so am I forgiven. AMARACHI: fine, I have heard you. CHIAMAKA: mama must have gone to the women's meeting abi. AMARACHI: yes CHIAMAKA: even my mother, so ask me why I was running. AMARACHI: okay, why were you running. CHIAMAKA: you are not even interested in the gist I brought to you. AMARACHI: Chiamaka, I am interested please tell me na. CHIAMAKA: I was coming from my house and I came across Chi Chi. AMARACHI: Chi Chi, the village gossiper. CHIAMAKA: yes she was talking with so group of girls so I decided to join their discussion at least to hear the latest news, guess what I heard. AMARACHI: what. CHIAMAKA : I heard that Ada is going to be the future queen of this land. AMARACHI: Chiamaka, chiamaka, and you believed such lies CHIAMAKA: this is no lie ooo, you know that it very difficult for ChiChi information to turn into lie or just gossip. I was downcast, Chiamaka is right about that, ChiChi is known for breaking the latest news in Amucha village, what will i do if that comes to pass, what will become of me, i jerk out of my thought at the touch of Chiamaka. CHIAMAKA: are you okay. AMARACHI: you know am not, what if its true. CHIAMAKA: it might not be, I mean who will want to marry such an arrogant brat. I know she was trying to cheer me up seeing that I was scared, but it wasn't working. She held my hands looking into my eyes. CHIAMAKA: don't worry we will undertake three days fasting and prayers okey. She said with a smile which I returned, I pray in my mind this news is false and all this was just some gossip talk. ****************************** AFAMEFUNA POV it has been five days that I have been in Amucha village and I haven't done anything fun and this was becoming boring to me, I was in my room playing games as usual but I wasn't enjoying it, I needed something more fun to do, what if I take a stroll round the village that won't be bad, I called Nnamdi who I know will be at my door and just as I expected he immediately came inside my room. NNAMDI: my prince you called me. AFAMEFUNA: yes I did. NNAMDI: what do you need my prince. AFAMEFUNA: I feel bore, I have been in this palace for like five days without doing nothing, I need something entertaining, do you have somewhere you can take me to. NNAMDI: my prince there are lots of entertaining places but not befitting for you my prince. AFAMEFUNA: oh, is that also another tradition, okey what about strolling. NNAMDI: that will be better my prince. AFAMEFUNA : then strolling it is. I said getting up. NNAMDI: let me call the men servants to come dress you up. AFAMEFUNA: oh ok. He called the men servants, they came in after a few minutes with another set of clothes and they did their job, I wasn't allowed to go without the guards and some men servants, I gave up after trying to convince my dad to see reasons with me. The Village wasn't that bad, each place we pass Nnamdi was there to explain some things consigning it, Nnamdi was sitting at the front passenger seat and Ofcourse the driver, there was another car at our back which the guards were, I was enjoying myself at least it better then staying in the palace, all of a sudden I feel pressed, I tried to hold it but it won't just agree to my terms. AFAMEFUNA: Nnamdi. NNAMDI: yes my prince. AFAMEFUNA: I need to use the bathroom. I could see the confusion in his face. NNAMDI: but my prince we are in the middle of the road and there is no bathroom here. He was right, we were still driving but I just can't hold it any longer, I looked at my side and saw that we were in a bushy area that will do. AFAMEFUNA: stop the car. NNAMDI: my prince. AFAMEFUNA: I said stop the car, I want to use the bush or is it also forbidden. NNAMDI: no my prince, but... AFAMEFUNA: just stop the goddamn car. I was becoming inpatient, the driver stopped the car and I came down not minding Nnamdi, I walk towards the bush and Nnamdi followed me. AFAMEFUNA: what are you doing, don't tell me you are coming with me, do I look like I need a babysitter. NNAMDI: but my prince this is a lonely place, it might be dangerous for you. AFAMEFUNA: were you with me back in the US. NNAMDI: no butt.. AFAMEFUNA: then not a word from you, wait me here. I said and walked inside the bush so I could look for a suitable place to do my business, I was done playing nice, that Nnamdi won't just let me, he will be following around as if our lives are bond together, I saw a suitable place away from people eyes and I did my business there, I just finished with what ever I came to do, as I turn to leave I heard a beautiful voice singing an Igbo song, the voice got my attention that as I listen to it my heart found peace, I might not know the full meaning of the song but I could tell it was a sorrowful song, I must know who have this melody that is able to calm the trouble heart, just then I began to trace where the song was coming from. To be continued..

MY VILLAGE PRINCE AND I Sequence 8 AMARACHI POV Ever since Chiamaka gave me that news my heart has been heavy, I found myself thinking about it too much, so today I decided to do something that will take my mind of it, I decided to go to bushes around the village to set traps, I had learnt from my father how to set traps, I just finished setting the last one when I decided to sit down to rest, that was when all the memories of my father came rushing down, I couldn't hold my tear as I allowed it flow, I began to sang a song that will help my heavy heart. ***************************** AFAMEFUNA POV I followed the voice deep into the bush, just when I had given up hope of finding the singer that's when I saw her, she was sitting down on the ground, her skin shining like the morning sun, I couldn't see her face but I knew she must be a beauty, my curiosity took the better part of me and I moved closer so I could see her face, just like she knew I was there she got up immediately facing me with the those beautiful eyes, I was stun to say a word, I love it better just starring at her. Reality drew on me that I have been starring for too long without saying a word, I wanted to opened my mouth but no words came out, there were tear in her eyes which meant only one thing and that minute I so wanted to take her into my arms and console her. AFAMEFUNA: why are you crying. She starred at me without saying anything, I tried to move closer to her but she moved backward, it was hard to tell if she was scared because her face was emotionless. AFAMEFUNA: am a friend, you don't have to be afraid of me. AMARACHI: what makes you think I am afraid of you. Her outburst got me surprise, this sure is one hell of a brave girl and I like brave. AFAMEFUNA: so why the silence. AMARACHI: I am only wondering what a stranger will be doing inside the bush all alone. AFAMEFUNA : why do you think I am a stranger. AMARACHI: isn't it obvious, your skin seem soft even from afar, your clothes looks expensive, and your ascent doesn't show you are from this village, are you a visitor here. I was just starring at her because she will be the first person that didn't recognize who I am and I love it because I got to have a real conversation without any formality to it, I had to come out with a smooth lie. AFAMEFUNA: yes, you are correct I am a visitor in Amucha village. AMARACHI: and it's really rear to see a visitor in a royal attire. I knew I was in for it but I wasn't ready to give up I needed to think first before she seen through my lies. AMARACHI: or are you from the royal family. AFAMEFUNA: yes, no, I mean not really. I hate myself now, can't believe I am stammering. AMARACHI: which please. AFAMEFUNA: I am a servants to the royal family, am the personal servants to the prince. I could see the surprise in her face and I knew she was buying my story. AFAMEFUNA: about my ascent it because I was with him when he was in the US. AMARACHI: I have to go now. I was surprised, why will she want to leave, she meant to turn but I quickly stood in front of her blocking her path. AFAMEFUNA: come on, I just told you who I am and you are leaving, did I say something wrong, am sorry if I did. AMARACHI: why will you apologize to me when you have done nothing wrong. AFAMEFUNA : I don't know. All of a sudden she gave a light laugh, she looks more beautiful when she laughed, I smile at my thought. AMARACHI: well you didn't offend me, I just needed to go that all. AFAMEFUNA : okey can you at least tell me your name, my name is Nnamdi and you are. I said stretching out my hand for an handshake, she looked confused for sometime then she took my hand for an handshake, the electricity I felt that moment was something I can't explain and I knew she felt same way, she quickly redraw her hand. AMARACHI: I really need to get going. She walked pass me. AFAMEFUNA: can you at least tell me your name. She stopped not looking at me. AMARACHI : Amarachi, the unclean one. Saying this she took to her heels. AFAMEFUNA: wait, what do you mean by that. I was actually talking to myself because she was already gone. ******************************* AMARACHI POV I got home and slept off because I was very tired, when I woke up it was already evening so I got up to make dinner, mama was already in the kitchen as I joined her, she was preparing groundnut soup as I took the vegetable leaves and started to punk them one at a time. My mind went to the event that had happened some hours ago at the bush when I went to set my trap, I was crying thinking about my father when I felt the present of someone close to me, I quickly got up out of fear that died immediately I saw the stranger face, I don't know but I felt this peace of mind around him which was rear, his eyes were compared to nothing I have ever seen, even his voice, God the way he talk was something else, he told me his name was Nnamdi, I so wish I could see him again, I felt the warm hand of my mother on my hands, this brought me out of my thought, there was a smile on her face. NNEKA : what is making you smile this way or should I say who. AMARACHI: mama am not smiling, you are the one smiling not me. NNEKA: I have been watching you for some minutes now and all you have been doing was looking into space and smiling, is there something you want to tell me. I shyly looked down, I knew I can't lie to her and can't tell her the truth either. NNEKA: tell me is he handsome. AMARACHI: mama She laughed so hard, I was surprised how she could tell . NNEKA : this was just the way I felt the first day I met my husband your father, blushing. AMARACHI: mama am not blushing. I said with a frown NNEKA: of course you are, look at your cheeks I used my hands to cover my face as I felt embarrass. NNEKA: it alright to feel this way, you are no longer a kid, some day a man will come and take you away from this house but it should be a good man and that is my greatest prayer for you, I won't ask you anything for now but just know that when ever you are ready to talk am always here. I nodded in agreement. NNEKA: now finish that quickly the soup is almost done. I immediately continue with what I was doing with the vegetable leaves. To be continued..

MY VILLAGE PRINCE AND I Sequence 9 AFAMEFUNA POV Ada has left after about two hours of talking with me, I must confess she is fun to be with and won't mind keeping are close as a friend, I later woke up after having a nap, Ada has joined me in eating breakfast in the morning before she left so I rested my head a little, I decided to go to the place I met Amarachi hoping I could meet her there, I called Nnamdi who came rushing into my room. NNAMDI: yes my prince. AFAMEFUNA: get ready we are going out. I said getting up from my bed. NNAMDI: let me call the men servants. AFAMEFUNA: no, am going on a simple wear today and you too. He seems surprised but I had no time to explain myself, I got ready putting on a blue jeans with a white t-shirt, a white Gucci sneakers, and a leather wristwatch, I wanted to look simple, didn't want to draw attention to me since I didn't have the mind of using the car or the guards, I came out of my room to see Nnamdi dressed in a black trouser, a blue t-shirt and a black sneakers. AFAMEFUNA: not looking bad. He cross check himself and a smile appeared on his face. AFAMEFUNA : now listen, we are not taking the car okey. I said in more as a whispered. AFAMEFUNA: we are going on foot. NNAMDI: but where are we going to. AFAMEFUNA: that left for you to find out. We walked out of the building heading to the gate, it wasn't easy to convince the security to let us pass but not wanting to lose their job for disobeying the crown Prince, they allowed us pass. The walk from the palace to the place I met Amarachi was more like a forty minutes walk, and believe me I enjoyed it, Nnamdi didn't bother to ask me any more question and I appreciated it. NNAMDI : I knew you were coming here. He voiced out as soon as we got there. AFAMEFUNA: Good, now since you knew, you will just follow me without another word and one more thing, my name is Nnamdi not my prince. I saw his jaw drop. NNAMDI: but that is my name. AFAMEFUNA: and now it's my own name, so you better start looking for another. NNAMDI: what are you up to my prince. AFAMEFUNA: Nnamdi is my name, okey at least it's not that hard for you to pronounce your own name. I said going into the bush, he kept quiet and followed me, I just needed to arranged things just in case I meet her there and as I had thought I did, my joy knew no bounce when I saw her sleeping so calmly in same spot, Nnamdi gave me a questioning look which I ignored, I signed for him to keep shut won't want to wake her up in a wrong manner, I slowly walked up to her without making any noise, I bent down stared at her beautiful face, if only she knew what she was doing to me, I touched her cheek and with this she slowly woke up. AFAMEFUNA: hello sunshine. ******************************* AMARACHI POV I was shocked and same time happy to see him but I wasn't going to let him know that, he was all smiling like a child who just found his lost teddy bear, I got on my feet dusting away the dirt on my blouse and skirt, he too stood up as I did. AFAMEFUNA: sorry for disturbing your beautiful sleep. Why does he like apologizing this much over nothing. AMARACHI: what are you doing here. AFAMEFUNA: well I came to see you. I was surprised at his responses AMARACHI : you came to see me, does here look like my home. AFAMEFUNA: well since I don't know where you stay I came to the only place I knew I might find you and guess what, I was right. AMARACHI : you are something else. AFAMEFUNA: so are you going to offer me a sit or you prefer to keep me standing. He was very funny and free will no doubt, and his words brought smile to my face, I looked around and saw a branch connected from a tree. AMARACHI: we can sat down there. I said pointing at the branch, we both walk there and sat down that was when i saw that he wasn't alone. AMARACHI : won't your friend join us. He turned at the side his friend was standing and gesture him to come which he did. AFAMEFUNA: Emeka is his name, and he is my very good friend in the palace, Emeka meet Amarachi. I saw the shock in his eyes but quickly dismissed it, saying a hi to me, I knew he wasn't pleased with my presence and this brought sadness to me. NNAMDI : my... I mean Nnamdi, I will be waiting for you there. He said this and left. AFAMEFUNA: what is it. I quickly force out a warm smile. AMARACHI: nothing, am fine. AFAMEFUNA: no you are not, so tell me or is it because of my friend. AMARACHI: no am fine. AFAMEFUNA: Amarachi, I know you are hiding something and you don't want to tell me, I know I am a stranger to you but I want to be a friend. AMARACHI: you can't be my friend, you won't want to be my friend if you know my story. I said bowing my head I just couldn't look at him in the eyes, I was trying hard to fight the tear from coming out. AFAMEFUNA: then tell me, I want to know. There were a lot of things going through my head, didn't know if I was ready to loose a friend I just made. **************************** AFAMEFUNA POV I looked at her expecting her to say something, her head was still bow down refusing to look at me, I needed to know why are name was rejected in the lips of many if not everyone, what crime has a beautiful damsel done that has made everyone hates even her name. AMARACHI: I am not really from this village. She started her story. AFAMEFUNA: go on, am listening. I said encouraging her to continue. AMARACHI: my mother was banished from her village because she was accused of killing my father, she had no where to go so she wandered the forest but fell into Labour on the firth day, an hunter that was passing by heard her scream so he helped her put to birth right there in the forest, the hunter and his wife were the ones that took me in. I knew she was crying, I wanted to console her but kicked against it, it is good to cry once in a while to ease your pain, but I was confused, what was the crime in her story. AFAMEFUNA: then why are people afraid of you. AMARACHI: because they said I was given birth to in the forest and it has never happened before, so they said I am an abomination. With this her crying increased i immediately took her into my arm and let her soaked my shoulder with her tear. AFAMEFUNA: it's okey, it's alright, all will be fine. She stopped crying few minutes later, she sat up while I took her hands. AFAMEFUNA: Amarachi, look at me. She didn't lift up her head. AFAMEFUNA: look at me. I said more calmly, and she did. AFAMEFUNA: you are nothing like a curse, a curse is an ugly creation with big horns and sharp teeth, but you are nothing like that, you are a beautiful creation that I have ever came across in my entire life, you have the heart of gold, and a brave one, so even the people that has condemned you are so blind, there is nothing wrong with you, do you hear me, and I am glad to meet someone so special, you came into this world for a reason and a time will come those who mocked you will bow at your feet and this I promise you. ******************* I later went home after having the best evening with Amarachi, she lightened up after listening to everything I told her, she doubted me at first but when she saw the sincerity in me she gave in, I told her about myself but leaving the part that I was the prince, I needed to keep that away from her for now, didn't know why but I want to. I entered the palace with Nnamdi and headed to my room but was met with one of my father personal men servants at my door, he looks like he has been waiting for me for a long time, he bow to acknowledge my presence. MEN SERVANT: The king request your presence at the throne room. AFAMEFUNA: I will be right there. He left after delivering the message. AFAMEFUNA: call the men servants I need to change. I said entering my room, the men servants came almost immediately and in not time I was prepared, I sent Nnamdi away so he too can go change to his attire and I headed to the throne room. The guard as usual opened the door granting me passage to the throne room, I entered and saw five chiefs sited, I greeted my father then the chiefs which they reciprocated. EZE NWANYI: son, where have you been, I sent for you but was told you went out. AFAMEFUNA: so sorry father, I needed to see the four corners of the community, sorry I didn't inform you about it. EZE NWANYI: no problem, I sent for you because the chiefs had something important to discuss with you, they have told me but it will be better if you heard from them personally. AFAMEFUNA: my elders I am so sorry you keeping you all waiting. They all accepted my apologize. AFAMEFUNA: my elders you have something important to tell me, it must be so important if not you wouldn't have left your comfortable homes to the palace to see me, hope its nothing serious. MAZI AMADI : our people say if you see a rat running in the afternoon you will know either it's chasing something or something is chasing it, but in this case something is chasing it, is it not so. MAZI OKAFOR: you are right. The rest of the chiefs agreed with him, I knew that intact there was something wrong and I was eager to know the reason for their visit. MAZI AMADI: we came here to see you today because of a very important issue, you see we the elders were very happy the day you came back without bringing any white woman with you, and we have asked the king and his answer was something we can hope for, at least you are not like some princes that goes to another man's land and marry their daughters but instead you came back so you can choose a wife from your father's land. They all started talking at the same time acknowledging my wish decision, but honestly I didn't came back to Nigeria to settle down, I looked at my dad and he just smile at me, what has this old man been telling them. AFAMEFUNA: my elders indeed you have said the right thing and I appreciate that you all sees the good part in me and my good interest in the culture of the great kingdom of Amucha. MAZI ENYINNAYA : and that is why you are the true son of your father, a lion cannot begot a sheep. They all agreed again to his words, I already knew the purpose of their coming, so I have to choose my word wisely. MAZI AZUBUIKE : your father the king told us that you have been going round the village in search of a bride, you know if you are having difficulties in selecting we could help you with that. They all burst into laughter. Are they for real, was this the reason why my father asked me to come back home. AFAMEFUNA: I appreciate your concern but I am still looking but I will need more time to do that. MAZI OKAFOR: you have the time to search for your bride but remember you have to produce a heir before your father the king joins his ancestors. What is this one saying, those my father look like someone that will die soon, I didn't want to say much I assured them that good news was on the way, they later left giving my father and I the privacy I have been waiting for. AFAMEFUNA: father, I need some explanation. EZE NWANYI: what explanation. AFAMEFUNA: father don't play dumb with me, what is all this about me getting married, have you forgotten that I still have my PhD to do, did both of us even discuss anything about marriage. EZE NWANYI: son, you know the costume and traditions of our land, before a prince is crown as the next king he must produce an heir to the throne and that heir must be bless by the former king, your son must be bless by me before you can be the next king, do you know that. AFAMEFUNA: I do, but why now, even at that, must I marry now, father do you know how old am I. EZE NWANYI: you are old enough to pregnant a woman. AFAMEFUNA: oh God, is this the reason why you asked me to come home, it wasn't because you missed me. EZE NWANYI : Afamefuna, I am dying. ******************************* AMARACHI POV It has been three weeks now and things has been going well between I am Nnamdi, the other day he has given me hope with his words, I thought he could run away from me after hearing my story but instead he embraced my past and my future, and since that time I have vow not to do anything that will make me loss his friendship. I told chiamaka about Nnamdi and she was so eager to meet him, and Emeka too has come to accept me too all thanks to Nnamdi but still I have this fear in me that this friendship will not last. ******************************* AFAMEFUNA POV It has been three weeks since I and Amarachi has been friends, for her I am just her friend but for me she was more than that, I didn't know what was happening to me, the thought of her brings smile to my face and joy to my heart.

Sequence 11 Continues from Afamefuna pov The words of my father from the other day in the throne room kept echoing in my head. EZE NWANYI: Afamefuna, I am dying. My mouth was opened but no words came out. EZE NWANYI : yes, I have cancer of the lungs. AFAMEFUNA: whatttttt..., since when, how, I don't understand, are you joking right now. EZE NWANYI: no am not son. AFAMEFUNA: then you should be flew to the best country in the world for treatment. EZE NWANYI: son it has eaten into me too deep, I didn't know on time. I saw the truth in his eyes, this got me so restless but I had to be a man and not a boy. AFAMEFUNA : for how long. EZE NWANYI : six months now. AFAMEFUNA: and you are just telling me now. I couldn't believe this was happening AFAMEFUNA: who else knows. EZE NWANYI: just you and my doctor, and it should remain that way. AFAMEFUNA: what about mother, she has the right to know. EZE NWANYI: and risk spoiling the remaining days she should be happy with me to be in tear. My father was right, my mother won't have stopped herself from crying knowing she could loose her husband soon. AFAMEFUNA: how long do you have left. EZE NWANYI : more than a year but might not be two years, My mouth drop to the ground as I gaze at him in shock. EZE NWANYI :now you see the reason why I want you to get married so as to have an heir. So after the conversation I decided to do as my father says but will get married to someone I love and Amarachi is the only woman my heart beat for. Ada always comes to visit and we have been really close but still I don't feel anything for her and I know I will never feel something more than friendship for her, I than made up my mind to tell my father that I have found the right one. I walked to the throne room, as I entered I saw Mazi Amadi, Ada's father getting up, I greeted him wish he responded, he excused himself and left, I sit down excitingly to tell my father the good new. EZE NWANYI: what is making my son so happy today. AFAMEFUNA: father I have a special news for you. EZE NWANYI: really I too have a wonderful news for you also. I was confused. AFAMEFUNA: news ok father you go first, mind will come later. EZE NWANYI: guess what. AFAMEFUNA : what. EZE NWANYI: I have found a suitable bride for you. I was shocked in hearing that but still remained calm. AFAMEFUNA: and who might she be. EZE NWANYI : I know you will ask, it Ada, Mazi Amadi daughter. I gaze at my father speechless. Was my ears deceiving me or maybe I was hearing wrongly, I looked at my father smiling face just wondering what to say to him. EZE NWANYI: are you not happy. AFAMEFUNA: what makes you think I will be happy. EZE NWANYI: you should be, Ada is a fine choice for you and she will make a good queen. AFAMEFUNA: and will she make a good wife for me, father I thought I was the one making the choice not you. EZE NWANYI: I am your father and I have the right to choose who will be the future queen of my kingdom. AFAMEFUNA: are you being serious, wait is what both of you were discussing, father please don't make me laugh. EZE NWANYI: and do you think I am good with jokes. He said angrily. AFAMEFUNA: father with all dew respect, I am not going to marry Ada, it either you call Mr Amadi and tell him that you made a mistake in choosing his daughter or you are just in for a big disappointment. EZE NWANYI: how dare you. He got up and I could see him burning in rage, I too got up I really don't like surprises. EZE NWANYI: how dare you threaten I the great king of Amucha. AFAMEFUNA : to the people you are the king but to me you are my father and I will tell you what's hurts me. My voice was now high but I didn't care less, I was getting angry and I really didn't know how to stop myself. AFAMEFUNA: you have no right to discuss marriage at my back, no right to tell me when to marry and no fucking right to tell me who to marry and that you should know. I said walking out angrily. EZE NWANYI: Afamefuna, you dare walk out on me. I couldn't care less, I roughly opened the door ignoring the call of my father, I walked passed my mother, she was surprised to see me angry and hearing my father's voice that high, she tried to require from me what was happening but I totally ignored her and went to my room, I locked myself indoor burning in rage, well I have what they call bad temper I guess it runs in royal bloods, and when am angry if I am not careful I end up hurting others or myself, the thought of my father choosing a wife for me and ordering me to agree to it hurts me, does he see me as one of his servants, I am his son, only son and heir to the throne, no one orders me around without my approval, no one not even my father. ********************* I opened my eyes to hear the voice of my mother calling me from my door, I must have fallen asleep, the event that happened earlier today came back to be, I looked out the window seeing it was already dark, I got up from the couch I have fallen asleep on to open the door, I walked back to the couch without looking at my mother, she sat down beside me. LOLO AGBONMA: Afamefuna, you got me worried, I have been knocking on your door for some time now, why would you look yourself indoor and even refused to eat dinner. AFAMEFUNA: isn't it obvious that I don't want to see your husband. LOLO AGBONMA: your father. AFAMEFUNA: whatever. LOLO AGBONMA: Afamefuna, you know he wants the best for you. AFAMEFUNA: seriously, if he really wants the best for me why will he then do this to me. LOLO AGBONMA: what he is doing is for your own good, Ada is from a good home. AFAMEFUNA: and so, does that guarantee that I must marry her. LOLO AGBONMA: but I thought you liked her, she is always seen with you in the palace. AFAMEFUNA: mother Ada is my friend yes, but her to be my wife I don't even think about it, mother I want someone like you, beautiful, patient, loveable, caring, gives listening ears, elegant, every thing you can think of. LOLO AGBONMA: and Ada is not. AFAMEFUNA: she is not even close, she is arrogant, she doesn't care about others, rude, you need to see the way she talks to the maids sometimes, she carries herself like a god when she is nothing, she will turn this palace into a war zone if she enters it and I don't want that for my future. LOLO AGBONMA: then if it not Ada who, because I don't see any other person that matches up to her. AFAMEFUNA: mother there is. LOLO AGBONMA: then who, or do you have anyone in mind. AFAMEFUNA: yes mother and she is perfect for me. LOLO AGBONMA: who is she, what is her name. I didn't know if I should tell her about Amarachi knowing how people react hearing her name. LOLO AGBONMA: Afamefuna, what is her name. AFAMEFUNA: her name is Amarachi. LOLO AGBONMA: Amarachi, is she from this village. AFAMEFUNA : yes and no but she grow up here so yes she is from this village. LOLO AGBONMA: what is her father's name. I hesitated, I already knew what her reaction will be but I was ready for it. AFAMEFUNA : Amarachi Uzochi. LOLO AGBONMA: are you talking about Uzochi and Nneka adopted daughter. AFAMEFUNA: yes She scream in shock, well yeah I expected that. AFAMEFUNA: mother there is nothing wrong with her, why do you people hate her so much. LOLO AGBONMA: shut up, shut up just shut up, this boy has kill me, hope you haven't lay with her, tell me. AFAMEFUNA: no mother. LOLO AGBONMA: better for you, do you have any idea..... She was now raising her voice. AFAMEFUNA: mother yes I know everything about her and seriously I don't see anything wrong with her. LOLO AGBONMA: then you must be blind, that girl is a curse, a disappointment, an outcast, and it is an abomination to bring her into the royal family, never. I just stare at my mother not knowing what to say to her, why is this happening, why does my heart choose someone rejected by everyone, she went on and on about how deadly it is that I am seen with her not to talk of marrying her. AFAMEFUNA: fine, okey just fine, since no body cares about me or my happiness I accept it, there is no problem at all, everything is just perfect. LOLO AGBONMA: Afamefuna AFAMEFUNA: please mother, I have had enough from you this evening, I need to calm my head down and think. LOLO AGBONMA:: you really need it, you need to think and make sure you think very well. She said this and left, I was confused, do I really know what I am doing, even as my head tried to process the fact that they might be right yet my heart tell me otherwise. ********************************** AMARACHI POV I woke up a little bit late this morning, I couldn't sleep last night because of a terrible nightmare I had, I just pray it don't come to pass, I decided not to go to fetch water today, I will be meeting with Nnamdi today and the thought of it send joy to my heart, I longed to see him, I was falling for him deeply but didn't know if he felt same way for me. I took the broom and began to sweep the backyard when I heard someone at the front door, I was surprised because hardly for someone to visit us and not at that hour of the day, my mother was already in the sitting room when I got there, she opened the door and I could hear a male voice asking my mother about me, she was asking what I did wrong and I could tell from her voice she was scared and worried, the voice answered her harshly, I couldn't hear what he was saying clearly but I heard them mentioned palace, I was sacred now, hope nothing has happened to Nnamdi, they open the door forcefully pushing my mother out of the way, one of them grabbed me by my hand, then I saw their attire and knew they were guards from the palace. GUARD : your presence is needed at the palace. AMARACHI: what did i do, please.... But before I could finish they dragged me along with them, I saw my mother fell on the ground crying, my fear increase as I fear for the unknown, I tried to free my self but I couldn't, they dragged me into the car and drove off, I couldn't stop my tear from falling, please God don't let anything happened to me, I prayed in my mind. I didn't know how long we drove but we got to the palace very fast, I was pulled out of the car and was taken inside, I fell on my feet as I came in contact with the king and the queen, i haven't met them before but I can tell from the crowns on their heads. GUARD : here she is my king. EZE NWANYI : so you are the little brat of a curse that has the guts to come close to my son. I wasn't looking at him but I knew he was angry but I had not idea what he was talking about, I was shaking with fear all over me, I bow my head down as tear fall freely from my eyes. EZE NWANYI: answer me. AMARACHI: I.....I...your....maj.... es....ty I don't...know...what is my offence. I said stammering, I felt a sharp pain on my face, I cried out as I held my cheek, the queen has slapped me without me expecting it. LOLO AGBONMA: how dare you lie to the king you pig. I seriously had no idea what was happening, I wanted to say something when I heard a familiar voice called out father, I wasn't mistaken, that was the voice or Nnamdi. ********************************* AFAMEFUNA POV The men servants just finished dressing me up, I had refused breakfast that morning and choose to stay indoor, the event of yesterday was still fresh to me, I and Amarachi was seeing today at least her presence will calm my soul, Nnamdi rushed into my rooms without knocking and that was unlike him, I looked at him as I saw fear in his eyes. AFAMEFUNA: what is it. NNAMDI: my prince, it Amarachi. My heart bounce at the sound of Amarachi. AFAMEFUNA: yes what is it. NNAMDI: she is in the palace. I panicked NNAMDI: with your father, in the public sitting room. I didn't wait for him to finish as I rush out of my room, I didn't know what I felt that minutes but I was going to do something stupid if they hurt her. To be continued..

This is serious

A lot of girls in this villa 4 him to choose as a lover...he rejected all of them and has chosen whom a lot of them has rejected

Afam has chosen amara, his heart has chosen her...After their first meeting in the bush...they are beginning to love each other

The king and the queen has chosen ada 4 him but her attitude is an error to him like she's not good enough to be his wife

The battle line 4 this love has been drawn...Amara is still surprise with their anger and foolishness in her presence

The issue has gotten to marriage...Like seriously, so they really wanna force this marriage...love can beat them all.

Ahhh Amarachi is seriously in for it

Your father is not different from every other kings, always arrogant and rude to the poor. They are the ones who are cursed

The poor girl is going to suffer for what she knows nothing about

Trouble

Next pls

love want to kill you poo, amarachi

Sequence 12 . Continues from Afamefuna pov  I entered to see my mother sending a slap to her face. AFAMEFUNA: father, mother I walked in angrily. AFAMEFUNA: what is the meaning of this father. EZE NWANYI-: now you listen what ever your name is, look at my son very well. My father said to Amarachi ignoring me. EZE NWANYI: look at him. He shouted and she immediately looked at me, our eyes met and I could see pain, hurt and betrayal in the midst of her tear, I felt weak that intact. EZE NWANYI: if I ever in your miserable self  close to him again ever one inched, I will feed your body to the bogs and have your mother's head. AFAMEFUNA:  father. EZE NWANYI: do I make myself clear. I could feel my anger boiling inside of me. EZE NWANYI: I said do I make myself clear. He shouted and this mede Amarachi responded in fear, she couldn't just look up. EZE NWANYI: now get out of my sights. Amarachi quickly got up and took to her heels. AFAMEFUNA: Amarachi I chase after her but I was blocked at the door by the guards on my father's order. AFAMEFUNA: let me pass. I angrily punch one of the guards but yet he didn't move, I angrily walk up to my parents. AFAMEFUNA: if you guys make me to loose her I swear with my life, I will never ever forgive both of you not in this life or the next. I said this running to my room, I could hear my mother calling out to me and my father calling me names, I got to my room shutting the door I fell on the floor, her face filled with pain haunted me, it hurt so much, why will something so sweet hurt so much, I couldn't hold back my tear it fell freely rolling down my cheek. ********************************** AMARACHI POV I ran as my legs could carry me, I ran into the arms of my mother who was sitting at the veranda waiting for me, she took me into her arms as I pour out my heart out in tear, how should I have know he was the Prince, why will he lie to me, why will he do this to me, and why does this hurt so much, it was like I have been stab in the chest, not like I have been stab and by no other person than he that the same heart fell for. ******************* It been two days and I found myself dying slowly, I locked myself indoor refusing to go out, the pain i felt was like the first day or ever more, I couldn't eat or sleep, my mother has tried everything possible to cheer me up so I could eat but yet it wasn't working, sometimes I felt for her, she was doing her best and I wasn't helping at all but what was I to do when my heart was broken, even chiamaka came to bring me out of my room but nothing worked, she was surprised to hear what happened obviously not from me, the news has gone round the village that I was trying to seduce the prince, I wonder how people believe everything they are told. I was in my room what I started hearing my name from outside, I knew who they were, they are no other person than Ada and are serpent, I tried to ignore them, my mother was not around, I pretended not to hear them hoping they will leave but intend I started hearing noises of broken things, fear that they might have broken something, maybe the window or something I rush out to them, as I have thought, they had used a big stone to break my mother's window. ADA : here comes the slut, look at her she thinks she can take my prince from me, you have fail, you want to go and pollute the palace with your curse self. OLUCHI : don't mind her, she thinks the prince is her type, look at you na, shameless fool. UGOMA : aaaa, you should go and hide your face oooo, your evil plan has failed. It kept on like that saying all sort of things and calling me name, in a normal day I could have retaliated but today I felt weak not because I haven't eaten for two day now but because the hurt in my heart was very much heavy for me to carry and it was weary me down. AMARACHI: are you people done, if you are done can you kindly leave. ADA : so you still have the mouth to talk, you are very lucky this gate is locked if not I would have come there and beat all your words out of your mouth witch, you thought your charm will work on him, but did it no... I couldn't believe I was with the Prince and I didn't know, was I that dumb, the attire he putted on the firth day we met should have sold him out and his ascent but I bought his lies, how foolish of me, if I have known I wouldn't have  spent one seconds with him maybe just maybe all this wouldn't have been happening. ***************************** AFAMEFUNA POV AFAMEFUNA: father father. I called out angrily at him as I walk to the private sitting room where he sat down comfortably drinking  red wine, he have locked me up in the palace refusing me to go out, I so wanted to see Amarachi to explain to her, I knew she will hate me now mostly since I haven't come to apologize or check up on her after that incident, I have made attempt to go out again but was disappointed again. AFAMEFUNA: father am I now a prisoner in this palace. He pretended I wasn't talking to him as he continue drinking his wine AFAMEFUNA: father am talking to you. EZE NWANYI : ohhh Afamefuna, why are you disturbing my rest. AFAMEFUNA: father you have kept me in this palace for good two days now, I want to fucking go out. EZE NWANYI: you will be in this palace still you know your place in this kingdom, I thought you think you are higher than me. AFAMEFUNA: why are you doing this to me, why, what have I done to deserve this, is it a crime to love tell me. EZE NWANYI: it is mostly when you are in love with the wrong person. AFAMEFUNA: father please stop doing this to me, I can't take it. EZE NWANYI: then free yourself and marry Ada. AFAMEFUNA: I can't marry her, I don't want to marry her, father please. EZE NWANYI : until you realize that Ada is the best for you till then you are going to remain in this palace. What was I to do, this man that calls himself my father just won't bend, I angrily or should I say sadly went to my room, I sat on the bed and just allowed the tear to flow again, that has been my daily routine for two days now. NNAMDI: my prince AFAMEFUNA: please just go away, I want to be left alone. NNAMDI : my prince, I can take you to Amarachi if you want. I looked up at him in shock. AFAMEFUNA: are you serious, and how. NNAMDI: though the king owns the palace we the servants controls it, I can sneak you out and in without your father and mother even the servants that are not supposed to know finds out. I looked at him not knowing what to say. AFAMEFUNA: why will you want to help me. NNAMDI: I know I have never been in love but my prince seeing you go through all this just to be with someone you love made me want to help. I was speechless, I just stare at him. NNAMDI: but it will be in the night, so I will come and call you when all coast is clear, I will leave now He turned to leave AFAMEFUNA: Nnamdi He turned back to me. NNAMDI: yes my prince AFAMEFUNA: thank you. He smile and left, I was overwhelmed with joy, at last I get to make my love Amarachi I just pray nothing goes wrong, I sat down as I waited patiently for night fall. . To be continued..

HMMMMM, MY PRINCE IF SHE IS MET FOR YOU, NOBODY CAN STOP YOU

O ya continue

Your father should know better than to force you to marry someone. I just feel for the poor girl who was ignorantly in love with you

Nnamdi you are risking you job o. If the king finds out he will take his son in but you, you asss will be kicked out of the palace. So thread with caution

The kinda love they were seeking 4 was surrounded by hate, heartless, and rejection...but love can beat all of them

The thought of being the king and the queen made afam parents to join some crazy people...neglecting the freedom of choice

These lovers are crying out loud 4 their neglected love...while the other were busy thinking that their love is not qualified

Now, neglecting this fine girl with fabulous attitude because they were thinking of poverty and that's stupidity...

They should be thinking of bringing her up to their level...bringing their family up to their level...love is the most important thing here

Amara is Gorgeous with nice boobies and booties and nice attitude...the humble handsome Afam is ready to make her, his wife

i know you people will late win this match that many people want to watch

Let wait and see how it will turn out

Following

All the best. I just hope you people won't get caught

Love conquers all

AMARACHI POV I was in the room laying on my bed, I have tried to sleep but yet sleep has been an enemy to me for the pass two days, the event that happened this afternoon brought tear again to my eyes as I remembered the insults and all the harsh words that Ada and her friends told me, no one wants to hear the side of my story, I held my pillow closer to me as I cried, I heard a soft knock on my door, I knew it was my mother. AMARACHI: mama NNEKA: Amarachi, please come out, someone wants to see you. AMARACHI: who NNEKA: it a message from the Prince. I was shocked, a message from the Prince, so the only thing he would do after two days of silence was to send a massager, well since he sent a message I too have a message that should be delivered to him, I got up angrily and headed to the sitting room only to be met with no other person than the Prince himself. ****************************** AFAMEFUNA POV Night fall came and as Nnamdi has promised, he came to my room to call me, he was putting on a simple wear of jeans and a t-shirt I too was putting on same, he took me quietly to a little corridor I never knew existed in the palace, not long we came out of a small door, he opened it and we were at the back of the palace, we met a guard there, he quickly opened the gate, I passed out and Nnamdi said something to him before coming out too, the gate was closed, we were at the back of the palace, the street was dark and lonely that I wonder how are we going to walk through in the night, he told me to follow him which I did, we walk for about five minutes without saying a word, just when I was feeling tired I saw a light ahead of us, I later found out it was a car light, we entered and the driver drove off, I was surprised with how Nnamdi arranged everything, really they controls the palace, I keep on wondering how Amarachi will react if she sees me, I just pray she gives me a listening ear. We got to a place and he told us to get down, and ordered the driver to wait, I followed him and in no time we got to a house I couldn't tell how it looks like because it was dark. NNAMDI: this is where Amarachi lives. I could hear my heart beating fast as I knocked at the door, Nnamdi was watching out for me, I knocked some countless times before an elderly voice answered from inside. VOICE: who is that. AFAMEFUNA: my name is Afamefuna, I want to see Amarachi, please, tell her Nnamdi from the palace wants to talk to her. The door cracked open and I came face to face with an elderly woman, I think she is her mother, I eyes grew wide in shock when she saw me, guess she knows me. NNEKA: my prince what are you doing here. AFAMEFUNA: please can I come in. NNEKA: sure She opened the door wide for me to enter, the sitting room was small but nice. AFAMEFUNA: please,am very sorry to disturb your sleep but I really had to see Amarachi. NNEKA: it not a problem but it's was risky you know. AFAMEFUNA: I know but I didn't come alone. NNEKA: no problem, but I don't think she will like to see you. AFAMEFUNA: just help me tell her that a messenger from the palace is here to see her. She nodded and went inside, I waited patiently for her, she came back few minutes later, not long Amarachi came out, I could see the shock in her eyes which seem she has been crying, we both stared at each other without saying a word. NNEKA: I will leave you two to talk. She walked out leaving both of us. AMARACHI: what are you doing here. Her voice was harsh but I can't blame her. AFAMEFUNA: Amarachi, please am sorry. AMARACHI: did you come all the way from your palace to tell me that now after two days. AFAMEFUNA : you won't understand, I really wanted to come see you but my father won't let me out, it was with the help of Nnamdi that I was able to sneak out this night. AMARACHI: so Nnamdi was never your name. AFAMEFUNA: Amarachi, no, no AMARACHI: why did you have to lie. AFAMEFUNA: Amarachi, from the first day I saw you I was so attracted to me, and when you didn't recognize me as the Prince I just thought I could make a friend without any formality you know. I never meant any harm. AMARACHI: you never did but yet harmful things has happened this pass days. AFAMEFUNA: am sorry, you have no idea how I have been this pass days I have been going crazy, a life without you is like nothing at all, I missed you Amarachi. I could see her calming down, I move closer to her taking her hands. AFAMEFUNA: I don't know but with you I find rest, you are the only thing that matters to me, I will do anything to be with you, you don't know how much you meant to me, I don't care what people say about you, I don't want to know, the most important thing is being with you. We were both crying now. AMARACHI: Nnamdi, my prince, its not easy as you say. AFAMEFUNA: then we will make it easy, lets try. She removed her hands from mind. AMARACHI: we can't please. I tried to move forward to her but she stepped back. AMARACHI: my prince, we are from two different path, and nothing can bring us together. AFAMEFUNA: can we just try. AMARACHI: stop it, stop, go home and pretend you never met me. My heart broke in thousand pieces when she said that. AFAMEFUNA: Amarachi please. AMARACHI: forget about me and move on, forget about what we thought we had, it's not going to work, I don't want to see you again. She turned to leave. AFAMEFUNA: Amarachi I love you. She stopped. AFAMEFUNA: can't you see you are my life, i love you Amarachi with everything, please don't do this to me, to us. AMARACHI: there was nothing like us from the start. She said this and ran inside I so wanted to go after her but my leg just couldn't move. AFAMEFUNA: Amarachi, Amarachi, I love you, please, shitttttt. Nneka came back in. NNEKA: give her time, she is hurt now, but she will come around. AFAMEFUNA: then I will wait ma'am, I will. I thanked her and headed my way, the words of Amarachi was like a gunshot to my heart, the pain I felt just increased to thousands, but I vow to fight for this feeling I have for her even if it means giving out my crown. ******************** Morning came, I didn't even know I was able to sleep after the visit at Amarachi house, I remembered her word again and the hurt I thought had gone resurface again, I was so confused and angry at my parents for putting me through this pain, I needed to stay away for some time so I will be able to give Amarachi some space just as her mother had advised but where will I go because I don't know anywhere around Nigeria, just then I remembered Victor, the one that picked me up from the airport when I arrived Nigeria, he had given me his number and I have totally forgotten about him, I opened the shaff that is at the right side of the bed and started going through my files, I checked for almost five minutes before I found it, I gave out a sign of relief dialing the number I stood up, on the fourth ring he picked. VICTOR: Good morning, Victor on the line, who am I speaking with please. AFAMEFUNA: Good morning, you are speaking with prince Afamefuna from Amucha kingdom. VICTOR : Good morning my prince, wow, wasn't expecting your call this morning. AFAMEFUNA: sorry about that, hope I am not disturbing. VICTOR: not at all, you called me, hope there is no problem. AFAMEFUNA: no there is not, Victor. VICTOR : yes my prince. AFAMEFUNA: I need your help please. ******************** Nnamdi has helped me to arrange some clothes in a small bag, I have told him all of my plans, he refused at first but later agreed to help after much begging, yes I had to beg him, Victor had agreed for me to come spend some time at his place, I told him everything and he too was disappointed in my parents, he had help me to buy my ticket online and my flight was set to live in two hours time, I wrote a letter and dropped it at my bed before heading out, as usual I took the back door, though it was already 11 am, the street was still quite, I entered the taxi that drove us to Amarachi's house yesterday night and he drove away. I look back at the palace and remembered what I have wrote to my parents. DEAR FATHER AND MOTHER. I HAVE THOUGHT COMING BACK HOME WILL BE A GOOD START TO BE CLOSE TO YOU BOTH BUT I WAS WRONG, NOW I WANT TO BE FAR AWAY FROM BOTH OF YOU AS YOU HAVE BOTH HURT ME IN MANY WAYS, SINCE WHEN I WAS A CHILD I HAVE AWAY DONE WHAT EVER YOU BOTH WANT AND FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I HAVE CHOOSE MY LIFE BUT YET WAS DISAPPOINTED BY YOU TWO. I HAVE GONE FAR AWAY, NEEDED TO BE AWAY FROM PEOPLE THAT DOESN'T CARE ABOUT MY FEELINGS, DON'T BE SURPRISED HOW I LEFT OR TRY TO FIND OUT HOW BECAUSE YOU WILL NEVER KNOW, AMARACHI WHO WAS THE ONLY REASON I WOULD WANT TO STAY HAVE TURNED HER BACK TOO BECAUSE YOU PEOPLE GAVE NO CHOICE, BUT I WILL BE BACK NOT FOR YOU BUT FOR HER, FATHER, MOTHER DON'T BOTHER TO LOOK FOR ME BECAUSE IF YOU DO I WILL BE FORCE TO LEAVE THE COUNTRY AND NEVER RETURN, IT IS BETTER THIS WAY BECAUSE I RATHER BE FAR FROM BOTH OF YOU THAN STAYING WITH BOTH OF YOU AND END UP HATING YOU TWO. I look out of the car window, I was going to miss Amarachi but I knew I will be back to take her with me, I pray they don't hold Nnamdi for my disappearance. . To be continued

This feeling can't be wrong in the right way like this love that has got no other competing feelings but only between amara&afam

Compromise has started already in this love that was neglected by those people in their ignorance and hate which is hurting them

Afam really need to move out, far away from those feeling hunters in his life...he has chosen this part of love with amara

Amara needs a little more time to kill those fears that the king of this village is sending just to bring katakata to this sweet love with afam

Nnamdi took the risk to support and make this love to happen because he understood this love...victor took it from there

That's a very good decision which will leave them with no option than to accept your choice

You did the right thing

gr8 plan

4lowing keenly

good decision

Beautiful write up

Good step

Nyc desicion, let see if it will works

Go on pls

ride on... ???

MY VILLAGE PRINCE AND I Sequence 14 AMARACHI POV It has been a week and still no sign of Afamefuna the Prince, I heard he ran away from the palace after the night he came to my house, I felt a little guilty because I totally shut him out when you came to me, but what was I to do, I was confused and scared at that time even now I still feel that fear for the unknown, I missed him so much and it's just draw on me now that I love him so much, I hope he is fine and doing well and I hope he comes back even if not to me but to his family who are so worried about him, they had sent some guards to my house when they discovered he was not in the palace, well they didn't give us much trouble and I wonder why. I took my time to prepare lunch, I served my mother her part of the food, setting it in on the center table, she just came back from the women's meeting and am so surprise she is asking for food when it is bearly 2pm. NNEKA: are you not eating with me. AMARACHI: no mama, it's still early for me I will eat later. NNEKA: okey. I left her and went into my room, I laid on my bed going through a novel tittle Sins of my part by Osamudiamen joy when I heard the call of my mother, I quickly ran out because of the tone in which she called me, I came out to see my mother on her knees holding her stomach in pain, I rush to her side worried. AMARACHI: mama, mama what is it, mama. NNEKA: the food, the food is poisoned. AMARACHI: how can you say that mama, I prepared this food my self, okey let me taste it. I reached forward to touch the food but my mother grabbed my hand at same time fell to the floor, I was already crying now. NNEKA: no, don't She said within her pain. AMARACHI: some body help I shouted trying to get the attention of any body. NNEKA: Amarachi,listen to me, you need to leave this village right now, please my daughter , you ......need .......go. AMARACHI: mama please NNEKA: Amarachi, I will always be with you and don't forget to be strong ok. AMARACHI: mama stop saying this let me go and get help. I ran outside screaming for help, I even ran towards the street and luckily for me I saw three young boys older then me coming to my direction, i ran towards them taking one by the hand. AMARACHI: please come and help my mother, she is dying. FIRST BOY: where. AMARACHI: my house SECOND BOY: what are we waiting for, let's go. We all ran to the house on getting there I saw my mother on the floor motionless and blood coming out from her mouth. I frown at my spot not knowing what to do, I feared for the worst, the second boy went over her to examine her, his face told me the answer I was not ready to hear, I fell on my mother lifeless body shouting and crying in pain, this cannot be happening to me, she can't leave me like this not when I needed her now. THIRD BOY: she was poisoned, who prepared this food. I turned sharply at the boy. AMARACHI : I prepared the food ooo, I did ooo SECOND BOY: you killed her. I was taken back by his words, what was he saying. AMARACHI: nooooo, I didn't, I prepared the food and she said she was hungry, I only served her oooo, how can you say I killed my own mother. FIRST BOY: shut up, you killed her and you must hang for this. I thought they were properly joking but from their faces I knew they were not, I tried to defend myself but got a slap that silent me. They called for the attention of the villagers, by this time I have been beaten up and made to sit on the ground outside my house surrounded by angry villagers, only few had pity on me as I saw it clearly on their faces, some elders was inside my house, I was weak from the beaten I had received from the youths, I didn't know what will happen to me but I knew I was in for something I never bargained for, the elders came out with a sorrowful look followed by some youths carrying my mother's corpse, I couldn't stop the tear as I saw her that way, someone that was full of life few hours ago, who would have known that she will leave me so soon and I will be accused of killing her. I was dragged to the kings palace ordered that was made by the elders, I sat on the floor of the palace compound, some of the villagers mostly the youths were present at the palace, I was already losing a lot of strength as I was trying to stay awake, the elders had gone inside to meet the king, and I know it's to discuss my fate, I didn't care more if I die because there was obviously nothing I was living for. The king, the queen and the elders came out all looking emotionless. VILLAGERS: igwe They all greeted him which he reciprocated by waving his hand at them. EZE NWANYI: my people, I have heard from the chiefs what happened but I want to hear from the three witnesses. FIRST BOY : igwe may you live long, my name is Uche, and I am the youths leader, I was just made the youth leader three months ago, it was this evening I was walking with my friend here Ogorchukwu and Uzo. He said pointing at the boys standing at his right and left hand side. UCHE: when we heard a shout from her house we rush there only to see her carrying her bag properly trying to run away, she was scared when she saw us, and when we asked her if everything was okay she said yes. I couldn't believe what my ears was hearing, this isn't what happened and right there realization draw on me, I have been framed, now I know why my mother told me to leave the village, I shouted in horror not knowing what to say. MAZI AMADI: will you shut up and let them finish, witch. I was silent dying in my own pain. UCHE : out of curiosity Uzo went inside to check only to come out to tell us that there was a dead body in the sitting room, it was later we discovered that the woman was poisoned and by her. The villagers started wailing and throwing insults on me. EZE NWANYI: so you kill someone that took you in and treated you as her own daughter to gain what. AMARACHI: igwe I didn't kill her. EZE NWANYI: shut up, right from the day you were born I knew you will bring nothing good with you only death, thank the gods your plans didn't work towards my son, for this you have done this is my judgment, in Amucha kingdom we all known the laws, who ever that takes a life, his or her life will be taken so I here by condemn her to death this intact., guards take her away. At the mention of the King's order, I could see many of the villagers jubilating while some wore a sorrowful look, I was taken by the guards deep down into the forest, the villagers followed us for a while singing jubilating in igbo song, the song was talking about evil doer meeting their end, they were sent back by the guards when they got to the entrance of the forest. I couldn't say or explained what I felt that moment, why was life so unfair to me, all my life this people have hatred me for no reason, even when I have tried to be nice and try to stay away from trouble, oh my mother, they took my mother from me, my only strength, What will Afamefuna think of me when he hears I killed my mother, I wasn't crying because I was going to die but to die in an horrible way for something i didn't do was the painful part. When we ( the four guards and I) got to a big tree, one of the biggest tree I have ever seen that its branches spread all over the sky covering everywhere within it reach, red rope was tied surrounding it creating a bondage, the guards stopped taking green leave from one of the guards, they putted it on each of their mouths, I looked at the tree that was just few steps away from us, there was something strange about this place that was when I saw blood shattered all over the root of the tree, that was when I knew I had reach the place I will be kill. . To be continued..

Someone should help me tell Ada that I saw her handiwork ooo... Nobody else can do dis now

I know u will not die, something must happen there

Wahala .. Waiting to see what will happened next?

Life is unfair to you

I know your mother's death was a planned work btwn ada and the youth leader, but one thing is sure they won't kill u

Na wa o, I beleive it is d handwork of Ada

were i dey when the story start. I dey dey watch fever wizkid will not kill me.

This is not good ooooo...this is not something, someone must believe...this shit is shit accusation.

There's God ooooooo...there's no enough reason 4 some of these stupid people to believe this nonsense accusation.

Amarachi means the grace of God...in this moment of huge pain in the moment she has found love, she really needs this grace.

They are like this an abomination while they are the ones committing the abomination like say tomorrow no dey

This is a huge set up, infact these people have set up, set down, set left and right just because they just wanna stop true love.

They have killied her innocent mom, who knows how many innocent people they have killed before...they can't kill true love.

There must be some kind of rescue missionaries in this situation that is too hard to mention in the presence of this village congregation.

Children of God, shall we stand up on our feet 4 a solemn prayer....noooo, there will no fasting, make hunger no kill some people...okay, if u can fast go ahead and fast...there's no time 4 that self...pray 4 the survival of amarachi, pray pray pray.

No be small matter

Nawa ooo

Am sure Ada has a hand in this but you will not die

MY VILLAGE PRINCE AND I Sequence 15 AMARACHI POV Continue How did my life turned out like this, I knew I never had a carefree life but it was better than this, with my mother gone and me at the mercy of death, I cursed my creator for bringing me into this word, I would have prefer to have died with my mother in the forest than the life I had to pass through, I have stopped crying sitting on the ground just staring at the big tree where my life will soon end as one of the guard which I think is their leader did some incantations, when he was done he ordered them to take me up as we get prepare to enter the sacred place, I knew this was it, in my mind I said goodbye to this world of pain and sorrow. Just as we were about to cross to the other side of the red rope, someone called out to one of the guard this brought all of us to an halt, I turned to see Nnamdi and one other guard running towards us, I didn't know where it came from but I felt a little hope inside of me. GUARD LEADER: what news have you brought that you had to disturb the ritual, it better be good. He said a bit angry. NNAMDI: Am sorry if I disturbed it but I had to, please you really don't want to kill her do you. GUARD LEADER: and whats your business with that, we are carrying the kings order and you have no right to stop it. NNAMDI: do you have any idea who this girl is. GUARD LEADER: and why do I care NNAMDI: you should because maybe just maybe by this time next year or the other your head and that of your family will join her. GUARD LEADER: what do you mean by that. NNAMDI: you all know that this girl here has found favour in the eyes of the prince, the king is king today but the prince will be tomorrow, what will happened to you when he later found out that you carry out the ritual after the king has pass the judgment. GUARD LEADER: are you telling me to defile the kings order. NNAMDI: am telling you to save your head and that of your families, not only you but also your men. GUARD LEADER: do you have any idea what the king will do to us if he finds out she is still alive. NNAMDI: not when she disappear from this land, please does she look like someone that could hurt a fly. They all looked at me, my heart was beating fast now as I pray God touch the guard leader heart so he will agree to let me go. GUARD LEADER: if I do this you are owning me big time. NNAMDI: I know. GUARD LEADER : this will be a secret to all of us, no one is to say a word to the king or anyone else, are we clear. The other guards agreed. NNAMDI: thank you very much, I will take it from here. The guard leader nodded and left with the rest guards, Nnamdi and the guard that came with him rush to my side to help me up, Immediately I let out the tear I have been holding inside, I couldn't believe I was alive, I won't die today. NNAMDI: stop crying, you are safe now, thank God I came here on time. AMARACHI: thank you so much, God will bless the both of you. NNAMDI: this is Ebube, he was the one that call me to give me the information because I was not in the palace, I was sent to carry out some errands for the palace, I had to leave what I was doing to rush down here, thank God I wasn't that far if not I wouldn't have made it. EBUBE: I thank God that you are safe now, Chiamaka is my cousin sister, she called me and told me that you are her friend and begged me to get in contact to the prince, I did the only thing that came to my mind by calling Nnamdi because he alone was closer to the prince. I was so surprise in hearing this, I didn't see Chiamaka all through the event of the day thinking she was disappointed in me and have turned her back on me, little did I know she was fighting for my life behind my back. AMARACHI: help me to say thank you to her, I will forever be indebted to her. EBUBE: yes I will, she will be so happy to know you are alive. NNAMDI : but you cannot stay in this village, take this. He brought a small bag and gave it to me. NNAMDI : there are some food and money in there, and you will fine an envelope, it content the house address of the prince. My eyes grew in shock NNAMDI : yes I know where he is, he gave me the address before he left, I have send him a message through his email about your arrival I pray he receive it, but we can't be waiting for that so you have to go to the city to look for him, I know you will be fine once you get to him. I nodded in agreement because I was speechless. NNAMDI: now change into this. He said giving me a small bag, I took the bag while they walk a little distance backing me, I quickly change to a jeans trouser and a blue top with a black shoe( sneakers), I took the scarf that was inside the bag too and called out to them. NNAMDI : like this people will not recognize you, use the scarfs to cover your head and face. I did as he said covering my head in a Muslims style. NNAMDI : you will come out with us, our car is parked outside the forest, we will take you out of the village, you will find your way from there, follow the discretion in the envelop okey. I nodded NNAMDI : Good now left go, you will be fine okey. We got outside, they check for passerby and found none so I quickly went into the car, they did same and drove off, through out the ride Nnamdi kept giving me more details about my journey, in not less then ten minutes we got to the entrance of the kingdom, he parked telling me he was dropping me here, I thanked both of them because I didn't have much to say, they wished me good luck and I came down from the car which drove away back into the kingdom, I knew my way to the car park so getting a bus wasn't a problem. I couldn't believe I was heading to Lagos, a place I never dreamt I will go, I have heard a lot about the city of how big and dangerous she is from my mother, oh mother, as kind heartened she was yet they decided to kill her that way, they didn't even give me the chance to pay my last respect to her, but I pray she rest in peace, yes in peace because she deserved it, I walk to the motor park as tear fall down from my eyes, Lagos here I come and I pray I find the prince. *************************************** AFAMEFUNA POV I don't know but I saw myself taking the next flight to Imo state, I woke up that morning not feeling at ease, I just wanted to be in the village, even Victor was surprised of my sudden decision, talking about Victor, Victor has been a great host to me, he has been doing everything possible to make me comfortable in his house, he is an assistant manager in one of the big company in Lagos state Nigeria, he is single but has a fiancee who he is planning on getting married to very soon and am looking forward to it, I booked a flight from Lagos to Imo state and in no time I was in Imo state, I took a taxi headed straight to Amarachi house, I don't know but I needed to see her first before seeing anyone just to know how she is fairing. This past days hasn't been easy for me, I barely slept that I need some sleeping drugs to take me to the wonder land, Victor was also disappointed in my father when he heard what happened but there was nothing he could do, he wanted to call his father Chife Enyinnaya but I stopped him because doing that will be telling my father where I was and I didn't want that, he told me that they were worried about me because he heard it from his father how the palace was taking my disappearance. I got to Amarachi house and came down asking the driver to wait, I knocked at the small gate several times but no one answered, maybe they were not around, I will definitely come back to check, I was about leaving when I sighted a young girl maybe below eighteen years coming towards my way, she immediately greeted me when she saw me, I doubt if she knew I was the prince. GIRL : Good afternoon sir. AFAMEFUNA: you too, Sorry but I wanted to ask, do you by any chance saw this woman and her daughter this morning, have been knocking but it seem they are not around. GIRL: is the woman related to you. AFAMEFUNA: no, the daughter is my friend. GIRL: ohhh so sorry but the woman died yesterday afternoon. AFAMEFUNA: whatttt I was shocked to my bone. AFAMEFUNA: what about the daughter. GIRL : from what I heard ooo, the daughter was the one that killed the mother. A cold wind suddenly pass through me, did I hear very well or what. AFAMEFUNA: please come again. GIRL: I said the girl killed her mother, is it not Amarachi you are talking about. I nodded, weak to speak. GIRL: yes na. AFAMEFUNA: and Amarachi, where is she. GIRL : I can see you are a stranger in this village, in this village who ever killed someone will also be killed, the judgment was passed by the igwe yesterday. To be continued..

MY VILLAGE PRINCE AND I Sequence 16 AMARACHI POV I must confess Lagos is big and beautiful, even more than I have heard, it was a long night journey from my village to the city of Lagos, it wasn’t a comfortable journey as the bus was overloaded but who am I to complain, I finally got down from the bus as the driver announced our arrival, it was a big motor park with lot of people, some hawking all type of things to passersby, driver and conductors shouting from different angle to get passengers, there were stores where food and other things where sold, I was immediately hungry at the sight of food, I haven’t had anything to eat since yesterday event, even as I wasn’t to eat so badly I needed to focus on the most important thing, I took the small school bag from my back and began to search for the envelop Nnamdi talked about, after searching for a short time I found it, I opened it and saw an address written on it, after reading the content I decided to ask anyone for direction, after I succeeded in crossing to the other side of the road where buses are lined up, I asked a man after greeting him but he didn’t know the place, I decided to ask a bus driver. I was walking directly to a driver i spotted close to a bus when suddenly a bus drove roughly towards me, in fear I jumped trying to miss the bus so i wouldn’t be hit by it, I landed on a little pool of dirty water on the ground, using my two hands to warge myself from falling completely in the water. People rain insult at the driver as some young men helped me up, even the driver came to apologise, I cleaned myself up assuring them I was okey, just than I discovered the piece of paper that the address to Prince Afamefuna was no longer with me, I search my bag hoping to see it but I didn’t, that was when reality draw on me that I have misplaced the only hope I had. ******************************* AFAMEFUNA POV I couldn’t tell how I felt, in as much as what the girl was saying sounds true yet I choose not to believe it maybe its just another rumour going round the village, I rush into the taxi telling him to head for the palace, this to me was a joke or a game, in as much as I try to warp my head on the fact that Amarachi and her mother was dead yet it doesn’t just add up, if she committed murder then she should be handed to the police, my father is a civilian man, he couldn’t do what the girl said he did. I got to the palace gate, after I paid the driver, I collected his number, well don’t really know why but I just felt I might need it, I took my small bag and headed for the gate and knock, the guard answered from the other side. GUARD: who is that. AFAMEFUNA: open the gate. GUARD: who. AFAMEFUNA: are you going to keep me here or you want my father to have your head. I was rude yes but I wasn’t myself that minutes as I was still reprocessing what the girl told me and I needed to find answers. The gate immediately opened revealing the guard, he was shocked to see me and immediately bow to greet him I walk pass him not responding to his greeting, one of the guard ran inside maybe to tell my father of my arrival, I could see confusion and shock all over their faces, Nnamdi run out to meet me. NNAMDI: my prince, my prince, you are here. AFAMEFUNA: Nnamdi not now. I walked pass him into the sitting room only to see my mother at the entrance, she was surprised and excited to see me as she hug me but I didn’t hug back. LOLO AGBONMA: my son, you are back ooo my son, where have you been. AFAMEFUNA: mother where is father. LOLO AGBONMA: are you alright, what is it. AFAMEFUNA: where is father. LOLO AGBONMA: in the throne room with the elders. I walked straight to the throne room with my mother tagging along asking questions I was ignoring, I didn’t have time for her this minutes, I got to the throne room and the guard opened the door for me, I entered interrupting my father speech, the whole chiefs was shocked to see me even my father who immediately stood up from his throne. EZE NWANYI: my son, you came back. AFAMEFUNA: father where is Amarachi. I could see the shock and disappointment in his eyes but I don’t care, as I stare face to face with him waiting for an answer. EZE NWANYI: are you out of your mind, is that how you greet your father and the elders. AFAMEFUNA: do you really think I f**king care about some stupid greeting right now, I asked where is Amarachi. This time I was shouting, I couldn’t just hold myself anymore as I was boiling in anger. MAZI AMADI : my prince why don’t you calm down. He said standing up. AFAMEFUNA : and who are you to interfere when am talking to my father, you stay out of this, this is between I and him. EZE NWANYI: Afamefuna. He shouted AFAMEFUNA: father, is what am hearing true, tell me. EZE NWANYI: what ever you heard about that witch is true, she committed an abomination. AFAMEFUNA: and you asked that she should be killed. EZE NWANYI: that is our tradition. AFAMEFUNA: she is dead? Everyone went silent. AFAMEFUNA: Answer me, is she dead. I prayed in my mind that they shouldn’t tell me yes, I was boiling in anger, I didn’t know what I will do if it’s true. EZE NWANYI: yes The world stopped, even my heart beat stopped, I went still, only my brain was working trying to process what I just heard, was I in shock yes, a big one, now it was all coming to me, Amarachi is dead, she is dead, dead and gone. LOLO AGBONMA: Afamefuna she broke the law and had to pay for it. I looked at my mother, trying to pick what she was saying, my body, my heart were all falling apart. AFAMEFUNA: Amarachi is dead. It was more like I was trying to force myself to believe that, that minutes I couldn’t breath anymore, it was more like all the air flew away from me, I tried to breath in air but no air came through. AFAMEFUNA: I ca…n’t breath. I managed to say, my mother rushed to my side but I fell down before she could get to me, I heard voices calling out to me as I went into darkness. TBC

My village prince and I sequence 17 Continues.. AFAMEFUNA POV I saw her standing smiling at me, I tried to reach for her calling her name but the more I try to get to her the more far away she seems, slowly she began to fade away, I continue calling her name as I jerk up from sleep, I looked around and saw that I was in my room in the palace, so that was a dream, but just then everything that had happened came flashing back to me. AFAMEFUNA: Amarachi. My heart, my love, the only woman that has made me feel complete, the only woman I see in my dream, my heart couldn’t believe she was really dead, I gave out a scream in anguish as I broke down in tear, my heart has been ripped out of it spot. AFAMEFUNA: Amarachi, am sorry, am sorry. Yes it was my fault, I couldn’t have left, I could have stayed, just maybe this won’t have happened, I could imagine how she felt helpless on that day, i could have been there to protect her, that was what i promised her but i had let her down, had betrayed her all over again, can she ever forgive me, what am I to do, I couldn’t take the pain anymore, it was eating me up and that I lost her because of what, all this, I looked around my room and my hurt turned to anger and hate, I got up and started destroying everything in my room. One of the guards ran inside. GUARD: my prince are you okey. AFAMEFUNA: get out, get out I shouted at him and he immediately ran for his life seeing I have lost all my senses, and I continued from where I stopped destroying the plasma TV on the wall, the door swing open and my mother face came in view, as I saw her looking so worried my hatred for her increased. AFAMEFUNA: what do you want. I shouted at her sending her a dagger look. LOLO AGBONMA: my son, you have to calm down, you didn’t know what happened, that girl is evil and you are too blind to see this. AFAMEFUNA: no you all are the ones that are too blind to see how wonderful she was and I know it because I have interest in her that’s why you people decided to kill her. LOLO AGBONMA: Afamefuna, why will you say something like that, you know I and your father are not like that. AFAMEFUNA: believe me, I don’t think I know you guys, what am I even saying, of course I don’t know you guys, I don’t, but let me tell you this, you all will regret what you did to her, all of you, now leave my room, leave. LOLO AGBONMA: Afamefuna please. AFAMEFUNA: leave now, leave, I don’t want to see your face leave. My anger was taking control and her presence just made it worse, she ran out of my room in fear, I fall down on the floor as I broke down in tear, the pain was too much for me to bare, I have heard to fall in love was a wonderful thing but never knew it was also the most painful thing you can ever imagine. I heard the door opened, I thought I told them I didn’t want to see any of their faces, I turned round to face Nnamdi. NNAMDI: my prince. AFAMEFUNA: what are you doing here. NNAMDI: my prince, you have to calm down. AFAMEFUNA: are you out of your mind, I thought I made it clear that I don’t want to see anyone, now get out. NNAMDI: my prince. AFAMEFUNA: don’t you prince me, where you not there when they had her killed, you joined them right after all you never liked her, now she is dead, you all are happy now. NNAMDI: my prince, Amarachi is not dead. I looked at him, was he trying to make me free better or what. AFAMEFUNA: look am not in for your games. NNAMDI: I am not playing any games or am I joking with you, as I speak to you now Amarachi is in lagos. I got up immediately eager to know what he was talking about. AFAMEFUNA: you are getting me confuse. NNAMDI : I know you are but I don’t have all day to explain to you, but all I want to tell you is that I gave her the address you gave to me, I think she might be there now because she left same yesterday, I even sent you a massage to your email, that’s why I was surprise to see you today. AFAMEFUNA: massage, I didn’t see any massage. NNAMDI: God, I think she might be there now. I don’t know if I should be dancing or shouting but I was really happy to hear that Amarachi was alive and she is already on her way to meet me, I started looking for my phone so I can call Victor to give him the information. NNAMDI: what are you looking for. AFAMEFUNA: my phone, I need to call Victor so he will be aware just incase she comes. Nnamdi joined me in searching for my phone, in no time we found it and I quickly dialed Victor’s number but was disappointed as it was switch off. AFAMEFUNA: his phone is off. NNAMDI: then you should be on your way to lagos. AFAMEFUNA: call that your driver, am going by road. NNAMDI: ok and please no one should hear about this for now. AFAMEFUNA: am not stupid. Nnamdi left my room to do what I asked him to do, I didn’t know what I felt that moment, I was glad and at the same time worried, I just pray she is alright, Nnamdi came later to inform me that the driver was waiting for me, now the problem was how was I going to leave the palace since it was still in the afternoon which Is very risky to use the back door. ************************************* AMARACHI POV It has been four days that I have been in Lagos and I have misplaced the address of the prince given to me by Nnamdi, this four days has not been easy for me as I didn’t know where to go or know anyone here, the money that was given to me by Nnamdi was what had been sustaining me and I know in no time I will have no money left, at night I will find an empty store to sleep then woke up early in the morning before the owner comes, I must say lagos is always busy both at day and at night. I was walking round the market as usual when I sighted a sign board where Sale girl was wanted, it was a local restaurant, I knew I didn’t have any experience in this kind of work but I have now choice, I needed to look for something I can be doing so I can be able to feed myself, I walk inside the restaurant not sure of myself, what if they chase me away or even worse, I just pray I get the job. ************************************* AFAMEFUNA POV it has been four days now since I came back to lagos to look for Amarachi, and this is getting me so worried, what if something bad has happened to her, lagos is a big and busy place also dangerous where it is very difficult to find someone that is missing. I remembered how I left the palace after hearing from Nnamdi that she was heading to Lagos, I thought about using the back door but later kicked against it as it was already noon, without no other way I made up my mind to use the front gate knowing fully well that my parents might try to stop me, just as I thought my mother got up as soon as I entered the sitting room. LOLO AGBONMA : Afamefuna I watched both of them for some time, I really wanted to say something to them but just couldn’t fine my voice, I head to the door only to be stopped by the guards. AFAMEFUNA: if you two don’t get out of my face this minutes, both of you will regret it. LOLO AGBONMA: Afamefuna, where are you going. AFAMEFUNA: that’s none of your business, I leaving this place since you both don’t want my happiness, I am going to look for one. I turned facing the people I called parents, just looking at them brought hatred to my heart. EZE NWANYI: what has come over you Afamefuna. AFAMEFUNA: you have come over me, all my life I always wish I could see my father because I so much thought he was a man of dignity and integrity but right now all I see is nothing. LOLO AGBONMA: Afamefuna, do you realize you are talking to your father. AFAMEFUNA: and do I look as if I care, he seize to be my father the day he sworn to destroy my joy. LOLO AGBONMA: Afamefuna. AFAMEFUNA: mark this day father because it will be the last time you will set eyes on me. I turned to the guards. AFAMEFUNA: now will you let me pass or you want to carry my corpse. They stood not moving, I face my parents again. EZE NWANYI: you are not leaving this palace ever again. He said this getting up, and yes he was angry which I care less. LOLO AGBONMA: Please my son, don’t do this, I know you are angry but if you just rest a little you will be fine. AFAMEFUNA: now tell me which do you prefer, you let me walk out of this palace or I go upstairs to my room and harm myself, after all I have nothing that am living for. EZE NWANYI: you will do no such thing. AFAMEFUNA: try me, I will do lot more, you will lose, because with me dead, this kingship will be taken from this family and I will not even be alive to regret it. My mother broke down in tear, in as much that I want to console her I held myself back, why should I care, my father and I stared at each other eye to eye, I knew he was trying to read me so I had to make a serious eye contact, I will lying anyway about killing myself, why will I when Amarachi is out there but I can’t let them see that can I. EZE NWANYI: let him pass LOLO AGBONMA: my king. EZE NWANYI: quiet woman, what good will he be for me if he is dead. AFAMEFUNA: I knew you were clever. I walked pass the guards and headed to the main gate, which was also opened for me, I sighted the driver that Nnamdi called waiting a little far from the palace gate, I got there and entered the car. AFAMEFUNA: am going to Lagos, hope you know the way. DRIVER: yes, Nnamdi already told me. AFAMEFUNA: good now drive. He brought the engine to life and drove off, my mind was set in Amarachi, I just hope she is okay, I redial Victor’s number but it was still switch off, I wondered where he will be, just hope he has seen Amarachi. To be continued
