#TheNextDay

Omambala Kingdom was bright and wonderful.

Indigenes were seen moving to and fro going

to their various work for the day. Igwe

Okpalaugo and his wife stood at the top

veranda looking out. They laughed at little

things they saw.

“Ehee, My Lord. How far have you gone with

Igwe Ebube?” Lolo Ugodie asked her husband

and he sighed heavily

“That his Son is really proving to be stubborn”

Igwe Okpalaugo said

“Despite all that his father told him. He has not

yet gotten a change of mind” He added

“How sure are you that Ebubedike told his Son

all the threats you made?” Lolo asked

“Hmm.. I’m not sure. But I made him

understand I meant every word I said. Now, it’s

up to him” Igwe said and Olaedo walked in

immediately with Omalicha her maiden

“Good day Dad”

“Good day Mom” She greeted and they replied

with a smile patting her back

“And where are you off to?” Lolo asked her and

she smiled

“I’m going to a friend’s house” She replied

“See, my dear. Why not go and see Onochie”

Igwe suggested and Olaedo frowned

“Why should I? Can’t he come here?” Olaedo

asked rhetorically

“I love him so much, yes but he is throwing it

to the mud” Olaedo said

“I understand my dear. I am working it out my

sweetheart” Igwe said

“He is all yours. No one can take him away

from you my daughter” Igwe promised

“Please my daughter” Lolo added her own

pleading

“Alright Mom” Olaedo reluctantly agreed and

her parents smiled

“That’s my girl” Igwe said and Olaedo left. She

went down the staircase with Omalicha

“Open the door” She ordered the guard at the

door who immediately opened up. She walked

to her car and another guard opened the door

for her. She air-kissed good bye to her parents

who kept on smiling at her

“Where to My Princess?” The guard in the car

asked

“Umudike” She replied

“Yes My Princess” The Guard said and drove

out.

“I don’t see the reason why this hopeless

Onochie dislikes our daughter. She has

everything a woman can have” Lolo said

“That boy will surely see my other side of the

coin” Igwe said, hissed and went inside the

house.

Onochie and Charles looked decently dressed

with Charles jingling the car keys. Meanwhile,

Igwe and Lolo Nwaaku were in the sitting room.

Onochie and Charles on walking down greeted

them and tried going out

“And where do you think you two are off to?”

Igwe Ebube asked looking at the newspaper he

has in his hands. Onoochie and Charles

stopped.

“We are going to see a friend Dad” Onochie

said

“A friend that has no name?” Igwe asked

“C’mon dad, must you know” Onochie asked

“I demand answers immediately!!” Igwe

commanded. Lolo’s happy mood began to

change

“Igwe, please take it easy” Lolo pleaded

“Lolo, stay out of this. Since he has refused to

hearken to my words, his movement will be

restricted in this house” Igwe said

“What??!!” Onochie and Charles asked at the

same time in shock

“No.. No dad.. Dad, you can’t do that” Onochie

said

“I have already done it my dear” Igwe said still

not looking at them

“Mom?” Onochie called

“Nna anyi” Lolo called

“And that is final!!” Igwe concluded. Just then,

Olaedoo walked in with a smiling face. She

greeted Igwe and Lolo with a broad smile. She

went to greet Onochie whose mood was

already altered. She tried hugging him but

Onochie restricted her

“Stop!!” Onochie barked at her

“What are you trying to do?” Onochie asked

“What does it seems that I am doing?” Olaedo

asked

“I am hugging my Love” Olaedo replied herself

“Stop deceiving yourself my dear. Get out of

my way!” Onochie shifted her and walked

towards the door.

“Onochie!! Onochie!!!” Igwe called and Onochie

stopped a bit

“Are you aware that she is here to see you?”

Igwe asked

“Really?” Onochie asked

“Well, I’m not sure of that because I can’t recall

inviting her here. Anyways, you can attend to

her” Onochie said

“Feel free my dear” Onochie said to Olaedo

with a forced smiled and banged the door

behind him

“Was he talking to me? Like, was he referring

to me?” Olaedo asked and Lolo walked up to

her.

“He just insulted me” Olaedo said

“No..No, this is getting too much!” Olaedo

exclaimed and angrily walked out

“What is all this?” Lolo asked feeling sad

“Woman, better talk to your Son, because I

meant every word I said” Igwe said and called a

guard

“Yes Igwe” Dike ran in

“I want you to follow that boy that calls himself

my Son to see where is going to. Don’t dare

bring me unsatisfactory reports. Have I made

myself clear?” Igwe asked

“Yes Igwe” Dike said

“Good. You can go” Igwe said and Dike ran out

immediately…

*

*

“Dad, can you imagine that pimp insulting and

rejecting me in public!!!” Olaedo complained to

her parents..

“What? This isn’t normal anymore Nna anyi”

Lolo Ugodie said

“Someone or Something is behind this” She

added

“I don’t care whoever or whatever is behind it.

My words still stands!!” Okpalaugo said

“Stop crying my daughter. As I said before,

nothing will take him away from you” Igwe

promised again

“I’m I not beautiful dad?” Olaedo asked them

“Don’t bother yourself my daughter” They said

“Mtcheew.. I’m out of here!!” Olaedo said and

angrily walked into her car. Before her parents

could rush out, her car has already drove out.

In anger, Okpalaugo placed a call to Igwe

Ebubedike. His words were not friendly at all

“That is all I have to say.. Good day!!!” He

concluded and hung the call.

“Take it easy please Nna anyi” Ugodie calmed

him down..

Onochie and Charles drove to the path that Ada

normally follows to the market that morning..

“Bro, are you sure you are doing the right

thing?” Charles asked

“What does it seem to you like I’m doing?”

Onochie threw his question back at him

“You just hurt that girl and disobeyed your

father” Charles said

“Who ccares? That is not my problem at the

moment” Onochie said concentrating on the

steering of the Car.

“This is it” Onochie said and stopped the Car.

“This is what?” Charles asked

“She normally passes here” Onochie said

looking around

“Hmm.. I see. Let’s wait” Charles said

“That’s what I am doing already” Onochie said

smiling. Few minutes later, Ada began to come

towards them

“Here she comes” Onochie said and Even

Charles smiled

“Ada good Morning” Onochie greeted as Ada’s

mind wasn’t with her

“Oh.. Sorry my Prince, I di…” Ada tried to plead

for her mistakes but Onochie interrupted

“It’s alright” Onochie said holding her. Charles

waved at her with a smile and she waved back

in a local way.

“I want to talk to you Ada” Onochie said

“What for?” Ada asked

“I know your fears, don’t worry, I will drive you

to the market and back here” Onochie

Promised but Ada still refused. With much

pleading Ada accepted making sure no one was

around, she entered the Car. She sat behind

with Onochie and Charles was handling the

wheels this time around..

“Ada, I have never seen you with a brightened

face” Onochie said to Ada

“And all the wound all over you”

“The way you chased us out of your house the

other day”

“Tell me, what is the matter” Onochie

requested and Ada began to shed tears

“No..No, please don’t cry” Onoche pleaded and

used his handkerchief to clean her eyes..

“I am an orphan living with my Uncle and his

family…” Ada began. As Ada narrated, Charles

gave a very good attention about her past but

still yet he didn’t comprehend anything out of

it.. Few minutes later, Ada ended her story

sobbing

“I’m so sorry about that. This people must be

wicked” Onochie said

“I am here for you now Ada” Onochie said

“Eeeh?” Ada asked

“You see Ada, since that day you danced, I grew

a feeling for you” Onochie said holding her

hands and moving closer to her.

“I Love You Ada” Onochie took the cat out of

the bag and Ada was shocked

“No My Prince, you don’t deserve someone as

dirty and unhealthy like me” Ada said but

Onochie starred at her eyes

“I can’t let you…” Ada tried to reject but

Onochie placed his hand on her mouth

“Shhh.. Just accept me. Give me that chance”

Onochie said

“I am a pauper and you are a Prince. It won’t

work my Prince” Ada said

“But do you Love me at all?” Onochie asked

“Eerrrhmm.. Hei!! Love kwa” Ada said

scratching her head.

“You care for me a lot and.. And…” Ada

stammered but Onochie held her face and they

looked at each other… The feeling grew more

stronger as they looked into their eyes. Their

heads came closer and they hugged each other

“I Love you Ada” Onochie said

“I…I…I lo.. Love you too My Prince” Ada

stammered. The cut the hug and Onochie

kissed her.

“Hey, cut it.. I’m jealous here” Charles said and

they laughed

“Concentrate on the driving my friend”

Onochie jokingly said and introduced Charles to

Ada… They helped her buy whatever she

bought in the market and drove her back.

“I promise to take you out of this mysery”

Prince said as Charles drew the brakes

“Thank you my Prince” Ada said

“For what?” Onochie asked

“For loving me for who I am” Ada said and they

hugged each other again

“Run home my dear so that you won’t be

beaten again” Onochie said and Ada cautiously

left the car and waved at them… She walked

home immediately

“Yes!!” Onochie exclaimed happily

“I’m happy for you Bro” Charles said

“Thank you Bro” Onochie appreciated and they

drove home in smiles. Ada on her part touched

her lips occasionally remembering how the

Prince kissed her….
