“nkem you bought me?”,
I asked,shocked.
I become lost without even knowing it,why would he buy me?.
will I fall into a trap like a foolish bug going towards a lamp?.
.

ngozi beemed and hugged me tightly
“am happy for you,at least onome won’t get the chance to beat you like she used to do,you won’t run errands like a community maid,you will have time for yourself and you will sleep and eat well” ngozi said,she disengaged from the hug and clapped her hands.
she faced nkem,
she looked at me back when she noticed my silence.

“ain’t you happy,honey? Nkem will be a good master,he will take care of you” ngozi said and flashed me a smile.I forced out a smile but I was not happy in the in,side, the only tiny happiness that came on my mind was Lotanna; I will get the chance to see his cute face as long as I want.

“so where is your load?”,
nkem asked.
“I don’t have any load” I replied,piously.
“then follow me” he said.
ngozi hugged me one last time, I promise to always see her and visit her anytime am free.
the royal guard lead the way,
nkem and I followed behind.

He is found of staring,I noticed it….I always get scared each time he stare the only thing I would do is to look down each time his slainted eyes bores into my figure,most especially my h¡ps….
he stared at them like they are the phantom to his opera💋.

the silence was becoming boring,
I now felt so uncomfortable just like the storm will turn the sail,
no one stare at me this way-

“are you okay?”, he asked.
“umm yes yes..am okay” I sturlted. First time I would act nervous.
“thank you for buying me from my step mother” I told him with a pained expression.
I wish I wasn’t born,
my mom usually says am priceless in my dreams but someone just bought me-
maybe perhaps,my dreams are fake!.

will my dreams ever come true? how long will I wait? is it till forevermore?”, I sighed.
dreams do not come true,
more reasons I don’t believe.

I faced Nkem.”so what will I be doing as your slave?”, I asked with pureness.
he took his l-ips in rhymth and bite it slowly in ecstasy.

“I didn’t buy you…I was sent by Tracy(Lotanna and Jidenna’s sister) she bought you” he said.
I felt my nervousness disappear,
I actually got scared thinking a guy bought me…

boys,guys, men…I fear them like mad.I even find it difficult to trust.

“okay,it’s aunty Tracy” I said,I now felt so happy and safe.
Tracy is a nice and considerate person.

“ohh you thought it was me”
nkem said..
“yes” I replied,shyly.
“so what if it was me?”, he asked.
“what would you want to use me for?”, I asked back..
he stared at me as if my eyes blows him off.
no more words till we got to the palace.

I followed him in,we entered fully and climbed many stairs.
didn’t know it was this wide,one can get lost easily.
once we get to the last stairway,
the guards back off.
he knocked at a slivery door,it was opened by a maid.
“welcome the maid said to him.
“come in” the maid said.to nkem with respect.
he nodded and left.
“come in” the maid said and opened the door widely.
I almost bowed as I entered.
she shut the door in a swift.

“excuse me” she said and passed a particular stairway that cut across in a spiral form.
I admired the room,it was furnished so expensively but not like Lotanna’s.

the walls were painted purple with different proffesional designs, their was a large chandelier light in form of stars at the center of the living room,the floors were hypnotized with sweet gem stones that wakes my legs with its breathtaking charms.

many more modern things that I don’t know was in the room,
a large screen was on display,showing and sparkling phosphorescent lights.
wealth in all,
wealth overall,
wealth is really good.

I stopped admiring things as the maid that asked me to wait came.I lit my eyes at her.
“okay follow me” she said,not taking her eyes off me.
I knew she would talk.
“what’s this cut?”, she pointed at my cheek..
“I injured” I said.
“this doesn’t look like injury” she said
I stayed quiet.
“nice shape and body type but your face is something else” she said.
I stayed quiet, we got upstairs.
the door opened by itself without being touched…
awwww so much technologies.

Aunty Tracy was seen laying on a wide bed,she was on a red robe.
so simple,she doesn’t use any royal accessory, have never seen her wearing any.

“ebere you can leave” she said.
ebere left,I felt nervous facing my new owner.
“Adeife right?”, she asked.
I nodded.
“where are your loads?”, she asked.
“I don’t have any” I said with a tingling feeling of embarrassment.
“okay…I will arrange for that!.
“did you learn any trade?”, she asked.
“umm no” I replied.
“okay” she sighed.
“so what are your talents?”, she asks.
I remembered onome’s warning.
“nothing is my talent” I said.
she sighed.
“okay you can go” she said
“thank you madam.what will I be doing as your maid?”, I asked.
“just the normal job you were doing, don’t stress yourself too much” she said.
I bowed and left.
I got so happy as I entered the maids quarter, my bed was still there.
Aaaaah Aaaaah,I love my life.

🎼 can I pretend like airplanes,
🎼 like nightfalls in the shooting star
🎼 I could really use a wish right now
🎼 wish right now!

I sang wh0leheartedly in my heart.
soon enough,ebere came knocking, I opened the door and collected my new clothing’s.
even god knows my creator is praying for aunty Tracy right now..

I rest for a long time,
it was finally time to prepare dinner.
I joined the other maids, someone special was preparing Lotanna’s meal.I doubt it if she’s from this village, she looks neat and smart and she prepare the meal with so much care,have never seen such type of food.

Part of my eyes was looking at how she prepared everything,I grabbed some things.
hope I won’t forget chai😂😂😂

she took plates from a particular section,no one touch his plates, no one touch his diamond spoons, not even his cups.
finally she placed them carefully on a tray and carried it out.

I carried aunty Tracy’s food upstairs, on my way back to the maids quarter I met nkem.
“my friend” he called.
“sir,do you need anything” I asked.
“come let’s tell stories” he said.
“am coming” I said and passed him.
I intentionally look at Lotanna’s door while passing.
I hope he is okay???
does his head still hurt?…

I headed for the stairs, I saw him,he was actually sitting on the last stairs pressing phone of course,his head had a white head band,he looks so much better now.
I moved back so he would passed first,thank goodness I was holding a piece of cloth, I used it to cover my face….and waited patiently.
“miss,get away from my way?”,
I heard him say,i got hypnotize so easily,I moved away and bumped into him mistakenly.

“oooouch,my head!!!!! he whimpered, I felt he was in pain.but,I didn’t touch his head-right?
his phone fell and shattered right in my presence.

“ohh my gaaad,Lotanna!!!!!!!
someone said from behind.

I turned,it was nkem who called Lotanna’s name,I felt bad I caused trouble again;was i high?

“trouble right….do not come close to me,avoid me,if possible let’s not see” he said,
I nodded.He didn’t even look his phone.

He didn’t utter any more word,he brush his diamond ringed finger to the back of his head,it is visible it pained.He walked past me while carefully making sure his body did not touch my own..it is not like I have infections and body odor right?.

it hurts me a lot whenever people avoid my body,when I was growing my mates did that to me because of my ugliness and because of the cane marks onome inflicted on me, that was why I formed the habit of hidding from people,I take my loneliness alone and the avoidance of body contact reduced.

since he is already avoiding me so much,am glad ngozi and the rest are kind to me….besides,I need to have sense here;.

Nkem looked at Lotanna as he left, he faced me when he was out of sight.
“was he mean to you?”, he asked.
“ohh no,his phone what am i suppose to do?”,I fidget as I picked the phone,half of the screen was damaged.
I faced Nkem,piously.

“do you know how much this cost?”, I asked him,
the queen approached,I hurriedly stop talking to nkem,I bowed in respect and left withy tray and his phone.
what was I even thinking; a repair.
I know the phone can buy me…
chai😱😱😱😱😱Adeife avoid trouble!.

I dropped the tray in,side the kitchen and returned to the maids quarter, I went over to my belongings and kept the phone safely,in turn I brought out the beads and fishing line I purchased from old Nana.

I sat on my bed and keep myself busy since the girls don’t like speaking with me.Just greetings and when work join us together.
hmmmm,
I miss ngozi.

“Do you mean olamma did all that yesterdays show? chai,I pity Arinze he still hasn’t know olamma as a player.Olamma will eat eat eat eat his money and run away-
🚹 Am guessing Princess Akuna is behind that bully,she is fond of bullying,I wonder who is her next scape goat” Vicky said.
the girls laughed.
“thank goodness am always avoiding her” chioma said.
“what if Akuna become our next queen-she might marry whosoever becomes the king among the twins prince” Rhoda said.
🚹 fire ooooo
🚹 hell,the kingdom will be in disorder; Akuna for queen in our kingdom,we die here..

“no wonder she always make friends with only her types; olamma,Adanna, Chiamanda and Vivian-
hmmm,I wonder who will start washing olamma cloths Now that Ife is here- chioma said.

I stayed quiet and continued what I was doing.
Another maid came in.Ohh Ebere.
she came to my side.

“sir Nkem calls for you” she said.
“okay” I puffed and part the curtains so i could look through the window, outside was dark why is nkem calling me…
“why is he calling me,is it for work?”, I asked.
all eyes followed me,most especially chioma.
she cleared her throat in an annoying manner,I shot her a glare.

“how can I know why he calls for you…mind you he is at the garden waiting” ebere said. I kept my beads under my pillow and followed her out
she left me alone when I was almost approaching the garden,
I got there,it was dark, only the stars brightened it a little bit.

I used my eyes to search around,I didn’t see nkem;was Ebere lying?.
I decided to leave,a pair of strong hand dragged me back,

my fear cooked up as conniption gripped me,I relaxed in full when it turned out to be nkem.
.

He looked at me as if many points of lights flourish in his heart,my stomach follows,it feels like falling off a high hill….

“sir you scared me?”i said in a fright.
my eyes shimmer,my breath shortens as he stared at me with that melancholic gaze.
“sir you scared me” I said in a fright, again.
“was it scary?”he asked.
he lay on the neat grass field and tapped there for me to sit.
He dragged my hand down,and I sat with a little distance.
no words*just looking into the skies.

“sir you called me” I said,I really don’t want us to be seen together.
“the story,tell me another one” he said….

“Once upon a time,there lived a wicked queen,she gave birth to so many children,and her children usually run away from her,they would change both their nane and surname so that no one would know that they belong to the wicked queen family,they did this because their mother is not a considerate person,she always think she is the prettiest and fairest,she traveled around just to meet a verrry powerful magician who made her an amulet so she could know if there is anyone more pretty than her.
“dear amulet,among the immortals, who is the prettiest” she would ask.
“you,my queen” the amulet would reply her.
this same question continued for two full moon,the amulet gives the same answers until a day.
“dear amulet,who is the prettiest among the immortals” she asked.
“Star,star is the prettiest my queen” the amulet replied her.
out of jealousy,she sent armed men to kill star out of desperation.
the armed men left,they return to the queen and wanted to tell her something before killing the star but the queen didn’t give listening ears,all she wants was the death news….

the armed men went back and killed star,they returned and the queen was happy for the job well done until one of the armed men spoke;
“we killed her but she was your daughter Florence” he said.
the queen went mad in the end”
I told the story.

“awww touching… star star star.Good for the queen” nkem said.
“ummm I don’t like the way star died” I said.
Nkem smiled.
from where he sat,he held my hands.
I saw it as nothing,
.

I looked up into the sky and admire the stars,my eyes drifted to lotanna’s window,I could see lights in,side through the windows…
am sorry,I hope I didn’t you trouble,
maybe next time,just next time,I will be more careful each time you are near….

I didn’t blink until nkem tapped my leg.
“that’s a shooting star,I want to make a wish” he said.
I joined him looking at the stars.

“I wish my love for love grow in her heart” he says.
*my love for love* does that make sense; it might to him.
“love,is that a persons name?”, I asked,confused.
“yeah,it’s someone’s name” he said.
“okay,your love will grow in love’s heart” I said innocently.
“so make your wish” he said.
“who,me?”, I asked.
am not used to bring treated kind, am the one who treat people nicely, people hærdly do the same to me.
“who, me???”, I asked.Nkem was waiting.
“will it come true?”, I asked.
“sure,if you believe” he said.
I blinked my eyes,his stares makes me feel so uncomfortable…
I remembered Lotanna, the sparks I get each time our eyes lock,I would feel like am falling into trances of oceans.

in my dreams!
my dreams do not come true.
Nkem cleared his throat,I jolted out of my thoughts.
“I wish my mom didn’t die” I said,I was already in tears.
“hey, don’t cry it’s not cute”
he said and wiped my tears…

“who are those there????”,
someone said…..
whaaaaaaaatt
🚹isn’t that the queen’s voice?
