“Ann please talk to me, what’s wrong with you” Bella asked worriedly.
“Isa,I saw something,this is not a dream, I saw it vividly” she cried.
“Ann what did you see” Bella asked worriedly.
“I saw a burnt woman and some voices yelling to me that it’s time” she replied.
“Max said you had panic attack” Bella inquired.
“Bella can we not talk about that” she said while laying on the couch
“Ann why did you sleep here, what happened to your room? ” Her mom asked the next morning.
“Hmm mum” she grimaced ” it seems my dream come out to reality, I don’t know what’s wrong”.
“Sweet what happened talk to me”.
“Sunshine I went out with Max yesterday and I a burnt woman crying then I started hearing voices”.
“Hmmm hmm”.
“Mum I wasn’t sleeping” she replied hysterically ” I was in the water playing,o saw her vividly,I hear the voices mum”.
“Ann calm down,calm down my child” her mom sobbed hugging her “it’s well with you my child”.
“Ok mum, thanks mum ,mum please help me find solution to my problem, please sunshine I can’t go on like this” she cried.
Please my child,stop crying please stop crying”. “Ok mum” she sniffed.
“Isa you can’t imagine how I looked like yesterday,I looked so horrible” Ann lamented bitterly to her sister.
“Ann it’s ok ,I know Max wouldn’t think worst of you” Bella consoled.
“No Isabelle you can’t understand I look so pathetic and I know I scared the shit out of him”.
“Abella it’s ok, don’t be like this, please don’t cry you will make me cry too”.
“Am not crying” Ann replied wiping tears from her face.
Max later went to visit Ann the following day as promised he stopped by the supermarket on his way he bought some groceries for her just to make her feel better.
When he got to her house he was sad that he met her so bittered.she was dressed in a long black gown and her eyes were so puffy.
“What’s wrong” he asked.
“Max how are you” she sniffed.
“Ann are you crying, please my princess don’t cry ok”
“Max am sorry you had to see me like that yesterday,that has never happened to me in my whole life, am sorry”.
“Ann it’s ok”.
“Gosh I don’t even know how to face you,am so embarrassed” Ann cried.
“Ann,Ann listen to me, it’s ok” he said.
“Yeah ” she sniffed
Max engulfed her in a hug as Ann couldn’t stop crying bitterly.
Although he looked as though he was not affected by all the things happening to her but it feels as though he was the one those things were happening to.
He vowed to find solutions to her problem he also vowed to make her happy.
Six men in suit sat around a mahogamy table talking they had this relief and sad expressions on their faces.
“Chiefs please don’t be annoyed with me for summoning this impromptu meeting by this time of the day, I will be travelling out of the country for two months , my first son Johnson just gave birth and as you all know I must go to perform the usual rites for the child” chief Mazi addresses the congregation while the chiefs nodded in agreement.
The chief priest called me yesterday concerning our princess and am so relieved to tell you that he said the gods of our land have started visiting the princess,in fact the princess is very close to us” chief Mazi continued.
“gods of our land,I thank you, am so relieved” Chief Itolu replied .
But when is she coming,the people are asking questions, they are getting impatient, what are we supposed to tell them. It’s quite unfortunate that the king only gave birth to a child,it would have saved us all these troubles” Chief Itolu continued.
“Haa Lawson I hope you did not rest where ever you are,help us to find this girl, infact help me to find her she needs to take over the company” chief Anderson lamented.
“Well my chiefs we just have to keep on hoping the gods should bring her back to us, I will have to dismiss this meeting ” chief Mazi said dismissively.
