His Queen

Chapter Seven- Aunty Ronke...

Ajinke's POV;

Ronke stops in her tracks on seeing me, and I look down at the little boy clinging tightly to my leg. I look back up at Ronke and find her staring hatefully at the child.

"Please, Ronke! He's just a little boy. He didn't know what he was saying..." A dark-skinned lady begs as she runs from behind Ronke, and stands between us.

Ronke shoves the woman aside and glares at the child still sobbing behind me.

"Come here." She orders the little boy coldly, and the child tightens his grip on my leg and moves to hide himself properly behind me.

"Mommy, please... Tell her I'm sorry. I will not do it again." The little boy cries, and I find that he's talking to the dark-skinned woman who came to Ronke begging.

"I said come here! "Ronke screams at the little boy, and at this point, the maids around begin to stand, and circle us to watch the scene.

"N... No..."The little boy cries, and my heart aches at the fear the little boy is emitting.

"What did he do? "I question Ronke in awe, and she eyes me in contempt.

"You better stay out of this. It has nothing to do with you! "She says coldly to me, and I'm shocked. I guess she's still sulking over my attitude to her yesterday.

" Come here! "She says. Grabbing the child's hand and pulling him away from me.

" Aunty, please!! Mommy!! No!! "The little child screams as Ronke begins to manhandle him, and I look up at his mother in bewilderment. What kind of mother allows her child to be treated like this!?

"Shut up! "Ronke screams at the boy as she throws a heavy smack across his face, and my eyes widen in shock.

"Ronke! "I scream in shock as the little boy's cries get stuck in his throat.

"Are you mad!? Does this concern you!? "She screams at me as she battles to capture both of the child's hands in one of hers.

"Ronke, please *naw. He's just a child."The boy's mother begs, and a level of disgust washes over me.

*Naw =now (a sort of persuasive word)

"Are you sick or something!? Is he not your child!? Did she help you carry him in your womb?
*Abi goddess Yaremi sent her to be his second mother! "I scream at the boy's mother, and everyone turns to look at me.

*Abi =Or

I grab the little child and pull him away from Ronke. Putting him behind me.

" You have no right to treat someone's child like that! "I yell at her, and she starts laughing.

" Come oh, who released this mad dog, and told it that it can be barking anyhow? "Ronke questions. Pointing at me, and I roll my eyes.

"If you like yourself, you better give that stupid boy back to me. Or else..."She begins.

"Or else what!? "I scream at her in annoyance and pure irritation.

" I'd take you to the queen, and tell her how stupid you are, and what a trouble maker you are! "She says, and I eye her.

" Fine then. Let's go!

Let's go so I can tell her what a lunatic you are and ask if she permits anyone in the palace to treat a child like this! "I scream, and she falls silent.

" Let's go naw. You don't want to go again? " I question, and she eyes me.

"Ajinke! Give that boy to me! "She yells at me.
