Two months later" So how is your preparations to your youth service am sure you might have brought a lot of things" Alex said pressing his phoneIfe turned to him with a sad look on her face. Her face was gloomy it is obvious there is something in her mind." I need your help Alex" she said sadly " What is it?" Alex asked curious about what can make Ife face down" My father is currently ill and I will like you to follow me to the village to see him." Johnny who was pressing his phone and also listening to their conversation took a glance at Ife.He look at his brother hoping his brother will say no." You won't say no isn't? " Ife added wrapping her hand on Alex body."Humm.. you see" Alex stammeredIfe saw that he might say no so she cut in sharply" You know I love you" she said caressing his back " you know am the only daughter of my parents" She said almost cryingJohnny became shocked when he saw she almost broke into tears" Women! When they want you to do something for them. They will start giving you unnecessary attentions"Alex couldn't resist her almost crying. He wants to tell her no cos his youth service is in the next four days.On the forth day he is expected to be in the camp ground.But he finds it difficult to say no to her not only because he is going to the service but because he was afraid of hurting her." Yes I will follow you to the village but we won't spend more than two days we will come back on the second day ok" Alex said" Okay" Ife hug Alex tightly" Bro can I talk to you" he requested." Okay" Alex follow him to the passage" Bro Alex you can't follow Ife to her village" Jonny said" Why? Haven't I told you not to call her Ife anymore she is older than you. " Alex said and Johnny hissed aloud." That one bro let her be deceiving you that she loves you am sorry if she ended up killing you" he said sarcastically"Think now I don't want you to follow her. You must be in camp in the next four days and you are following her to village instead of following her just give her some money to support her you need to perpare for camp"" If that is what you are worried about, we are just spending two days tomorrow and next tomorrow. By next tomorrow I will be home" he replied." My mind isn't clean about this trip" he warnedAlex went back to meet Ife who was watching the television.*********The next day they packed their luggages going to kuti Village. Since they didn't have a car they took a bus at the garage. They sat beside each other although Alex felt uncomfortable about the journey he couldn't not tell Ife his how he feels. They journey to kuti Village from the city took them about two hours.The driver dropped them at the king palace.Ifeade step down from the bus and as she walk in, a rug was spread for her to walk on. Alex was surprised.They both walk on the rug with the guards and maidens bowing down to her. A maid took her leather box with Alex bagAlex enter the compound,he was suprised by the expensive buildings and the compound. The compound in the city cost a lot of fortunes to bulid. He admired the different architectural design in this compound. " Welcome my daughter" I heard the king saidIfeade bowed to her dad and her mum the queen hug her tightly.The cloud began to gather up in the sky and the sky began to change Large pillows of cloud were forming, blotting out the old-gold colour of the sun.The atmosphere changes were observed " Looks like it will ..." Before he could complete his statement drops of rain started falling.The maids quickly put an umbrella on the royal family to cover them so the rain won't beat themEveryone ran inside not to be beaten by the rain. The rain was heavy. It is rained cat and dog in the village of kuti.To commoners in the village, the rain is a source of blessings since social amenities like a good water hasn't been provided by the king.The king look out the aluminum window as he observed the rain quietly.He was critically thinking about the rain who looks quite strange to himThe rain fell through out the whole night sending colds to people in their house.The next morning he sent for the chief priest. The chief priest arrived almost immediately. He was sitted on the royal throne wearing a blue royal attire. " The rain that fell yesterday was strange to me. We knew for the past few months such rain hasn't fell before" the king said The priest took a white cloth spreading them on the floor, he took his cowries and chanted some incantations. He spread them on the white cloth and he began to arrange them accordingly. " Humm Negotiate with your enemy whilst you are a strong and formidable force, and he will always fear and respect you, but negotiate at the brink of defeat, and he will trample you down."The priest saidDefeat is never a bitter brew until one agrees to swallow it." He sigh" Wise one stop talking in parables spreak to me" the king saidWhat he has seen cannot be revealed to the king so he kept quiet for a while. Victory has a hundred fathers and defeat is an orphan."" Long lived the king. Concerning the rain that fell yesterday, the Saviour has come the one who will break the chains of bondage from the village people has come to save them" he repliedThe king went into a long stare at the priest. He was obviously worried about what the priest has said" How could my I and my fathers year of hard work go into waste. I won't allow this to happen" his face changed into anger as he was so upset that even his guards and maidens felt the presence of his anger.153You and 152 others65 CommentsLikeCommentShareComments
