The Season Of Love

chapter three: RELATIONSHIP

    Owona had always found onouju attractive, smart and out spoken. Anytime she comes to the palace with her father she  would always be the one to ask questions that nobody in the palace dare to ask, she also answered the questions that the people in the entire village could not answer. The thing that Owona admired the most of her was the fact that she could also speak english as good as an English man did and she was always willing to teach him anytime he asked her for help.
    Owona was the second son of the king he was fifo's half brother. Owona's mother was the second wife of the king, while fifo's mother was the first wife of the king. The king had many wives and children. Owona was just a month younger than fifo and apart from being brother's they were best of friends, they discussed everything with each other and they told each other their secrets.They kept no secret from each other except the admiration that owona felt for onouju. He knew that ononuju had been betrothed to his elder brother fifo and he didn't want anything to soil their friendship.
     A day came that owona was on his way to his room and he found ononuju on the ground , she was unconscious. Without a second thought he took her up and raced her to his room, he carried her like a baby and dropped her on his bed. He quickly ran and got some water and spreankled it on her face. It was a few minutes time she regained her consciousness and sat up on his bed with confusion of where she was.
     "Where am I ?" She asked rubbing her face.
     "Your somewhere safe don't worry. I saw you unconscious, so I decided to bring you here. Are you okay?" He asked
      "Owona?" It was a rhitorical question she wasn't expecting any answers. She robbed her eyes cause things where blurry to her."yes! I'm fine" she finally answered his question
    "I've been filling dizzy lately and I dont know the cause. It most be the food at home. You know I've gotten accustomed to the delicious food in the palace so my body can't take the nasty food served at home anymore. "
       "Are you sure?"he asked then pursed before asking again"did my brother touch you ?"
    Ononuju knew that she had just told a lie because she didn't want owona to know the truth of the reason she had fainted. She had one of those dreams again, but in this dream she saw people with sticks and stone throwing things on her. They where all chanting" CURSED CHILD, CURSED CHILD......THE EVIL FOREST FOR THE CURSED...." she could swear that this time it was not a dream, she felt it, as if it was actually happening or rather as if it had actually happened, it was more like a memory to her.she had to tell her father all that happened, he would comfort her he always found a way to comfort her.
   "I asked you a question! Did my brother touch you, did he hit you?" Owona asked, bringing ononuju back to reality.
"No he didn't, he wouldn't dare." She finally answered "I've told you already.... it most be what I eat..... look owona, I have to get going. My father most be worried sick about me right now!" She stood up after her statement and reached for the door.
   "Wait!!" Owona quickly reached where ononuju stood and spoon her around, he then gave her a fast peck on the lip
"I'm sorry I couldn't help it" he said.
   Ononuju immediately ran out of his room not knowing where she was running to. The only thing she knew as at that time was that a kiss had been stolen from her by someone she lest espected....
