THE UNSHAKABLE BOND 🧡💪
CHAPTER 11 💥💥💥
My mother smiled at me immediately she saw me coming
The Prince winked at me and I felt like smashing his head
I kept my straight face and stood beside my mother looking at them
Isioma, won't you greet the Igwe?
This is the whole king of our kingdom dining with us and you didn't even greet nor welcome them
My father said and I bowed and greeted the king and his queen
You are yet to greet the prince Isioma
My father said
I looked at the prince and just greeted him without bowing
His countenance changed but I gave no damn
All I am waiting to hear is them telling me they came to propose and I will voice out my mind to them
Isioma, this is prince
The king's son
I know you know him very well
Anyways, let me not beat around the bush
Its better I go straight to the point
The prince here said he loves you and will like to make you his queen.
My father said, looked at the prince and gave him a go ahead look
The prince stood up and faced me
Isioma, I love you. The prince said looking straight to my eyes
And I don't love you. I replied immediately and everyone was shocked except my mother who knew things is going to turn out this way
Isioma, please marry me
Ever since I set my eyes on you, I have been unable to concentrate in all I do
I hardly eat nor cope without you
I love you so much please don't say no to me. The prince said and I got more angry
Prince or whatever you are called, hold it there! I said you should hold it there!
Can you remember what I said to you the first day you approached me?
what did I tell you?
Didn't I tell you I am in love?
Now you want to use your power to false me to marry you right?
No way
I am ever ready to face the consequence of refusing your proposal because no matter how hard you try, I will never ever marry you
I am in love with the man of my dreams
I said I am in love with the man I love
I am in love with the man I want to spend the rest of my life with
I am not interested in marrying you or becoming the queen of this kingdom
Igwe, I am sorry if I am sounding rude
Queen please I apologize for my unguarded utterance but I need to speak up
I won't let the tradition.of this so-called kingdom to push me to what will not give me happiness
I am not interested in becoming the queen of this kingdom
When your son approached me, I told him I won't marry him
I told him to wait for the ceremony that he will surely see a maiden far better than me but he wouldn't listen
He cancelled it because of me
And I told him that no one will ever make me change my mind over the love of my life
Not even the tradition of this kingdom
But he didn't listen
He went ahead and cancelled it thinking you will false me to do what I don't want to do
No way!
I am not marrying the prince
Look at my finger
My third finger
My fiancé just proposed to me some hours ago and I said yes already
Because he is the one my heart beats for
Mother, father, didn't I tell you all that I am not interested
If you all want to kill me, go ahead and do that and my blood will be upon your head
If you kill me, I won't spare any of you including this wicked prince that does not care about anyone happiness
You are wicked prince, you are evil............
My father interrupted me by shouting out my name
Thanks to him for calling me back to my senses because I would have said so many things out of anger
Isioma, are you out of your mind? Are you crazy?
Are you stupid?
Are you mad?
What has come over you?
Even if you are not interested in the marriage, is this the best way to talk to them?
Is this the best way to address a whole king of this kingdom?
You have to kneel down right here and apologize to them for saying such nonsense. My father said and I laughed furiously
This whole thing is funny?
I should kneel down and apologize?
Apologize for what?
I mean every word I said to them here
Father its high time you all stop pushing me to do what I tend not to do. I am not going to apologize to anyone
Allow me to marry the man I wish to. I said and a very hot slap landed my cheek
I looked and it was my mother
She raised her hand to give me another slap but I was very sharp to dodge it
Isioma, is this really you?
I didn't bring you up this way
So love have blinded your eyes to the extent of talking to the king in this manner?
No one dares that in this kingdom
Did you hear me right?
Not even his wife the queen talk to him like that
What is wrong with you?
Are you insane?
Something is definitely wrong with you I must say because this is not how I brought you up
I didn't bring you up to be this insultive
Isioma go down on your knees right now and apologize to the king and his family. My mother said and hot tears flowed down my cheek
Not even you, papa, the king, the Prince nor the stupid tradition of this kingdom will false me to do what I don't want to do
You all can go to hell for all I care. I said and went inside immediately
My father came after me angrily and I rushed inside my room and locked the door
He banged the door angrily asking me to open it and I refused because I know that if I dare open it, he will beat the hell out of me.
He got tired of knocking and walked out dejectedly
He was ashamed to face the king and his entire household but he had no choice than to go quench the fire that Isioma his daughter have set
He went outside and saw the king and his wife including the two elders that came with them looking angry
Tufiakwa! One of the elder said standing up
This is abomination of the highest order
My prince, is this the kind of girl you want to marry?
A girl that can't show an iota of respect to the king, elders and even her parents
Please you need to have a change of mind oo
Because you can marry such girl
One of the elder said and the Igwe stood up angrily
Mazi Udodi, you have 7 days to convince your daughter to marry my son otherwise, you all should be ready to face my wrath. I am out of here. The Igwe said and left and others followed behind
The prince took a two step and looked behind
The queen stood and faced Udodi saying
You daughter must marry my son whether she likes it or not and I will finally give her pay back for all what she acted here today
She will suffer in my hands I promise you and remember there is nothing that anyone can do about it
The queen said and left
Chim oooo
Isioma have killed me! Isioma mother said shedding tears
I am.ashamed of my self
I never knew this is the kind of child you gave to me.
Hope you heard what the igwe said
That we have 7 days to convince Isioma
Convince her because I am not ready to suffer for anybody.
Mazi Udodi said and left angrily
What a shame! I can't believe my own daughter is refusing the prince hand in marriage because of one hunter or farmer
I need to convince Isioma
But what about what the queen said?
She threatened to pay Isioma back when she finally marries the prince
Hmmm
I can't live and watch my daughter suffer
My only daughter for that matter
I won't false her to marry the prince because what she said to them today is unforgettable
Even if she finally decided to marry the prince, the queen will definitely not forgive her
We women can be so hard
No no no
I can't watch my only daughter suffer
Let her follow her heart
Let her follow her heart
Isioma mother soliloquized and went to meet her in her room
Isioma my daughter please open the door
I am sorry for slapping you
Please open the door
I want to talk to you
My mother pleaded
Are you here to convince me to marry the prince?
Better go back because I won't listen to you and I won't open the door
You slapped me because I said my mind which is very unfair
What you did was very wrong
You are not a good mother
Real mother stand by their child no matter what
But your case is totally different
Your love for material things is higher than your love for your daughter
Keep it up mother but as for this door, I am not opening it. I said amidst tears and pain
My daughter I am sorry
I have really realized how much your happiness matters to me
I promise I am going to stand by you this time.
My mother said and I was glad
Mama, can I ask you a question? I asked from. Inside wiping my tears
Yes my daughter!
Go on! I am all ears
My mother replied
