Lukundo reached home that day very furious. She turned everything in her room upside down, breaking every breakable thing like a mad person, her thrashing and screaming almost made the entire palace tremble. It took an order from the queen for the guards to get hold of her till she calms down.
For over an hour, the princess could not calm down. It was only after an hour thirsty minutes that she felt emotional and burst into tears, throwing her weary body on her mother's arm.
"She's always getting the best, mother, always getting what should really be mine! Why! Why!" shocking the mother angrily as she lament.
Seeing her precious princess in such tears is what she couldn't bear, "Enough, Lukundo!" Hold her up. " You are a princess for crying out loud! That is just a commoner, you could have defeated a long time ago!" panting in anger.
" If there is a person who should be crying right now, it's her, not you. "
These words gave her a reason to see potential in her self.
" Tell me what to do, mum." Confidently asked.
" Now you are thinking. " she called her to sit beside her, revealing her plans against Grace
" A daughter of mine, should learn to use her common sense." Walking from side to side, as she explained. Lukundo sitted on bed listening attentively
She continued, "Why not play an imposter with her? playing pretence, yet back stubbing on her."
Upon giving suggestions, she stood beside, with arms fold waiting for her to stress out the matter and make a decision.
Past 5 minutes, Lukundo stood, giving out a sinister smile she spoke, " Watch out for me, Grace. I will make you pay a ransom, for every humiliation." She glare
The day is gone and the night as come, neither Grace nor Eddie could find sleep. Afternoon events took the best of them, to find rest.
Eddie could nologer control his emotions than he opens his chatting box and send a text, " Are you still awake?
As though she's been quite for this text, she immediately reply, " yes. What kept you till this late?"
"You did." He replied.
In replacement of a word, she sent an emoji of how?
" I cannot get you off my mind, I'm sorry.
Blashing like a fool, she ran out of words to say.
"Do you mind a date tomorrow at 10? There's a lot I need us to talk about, if you don't mind?"
Without a second thought about it, Grace texted back a yes. Her heart was pounding like she has been in a race
"Yes! yes! yes!" Jumping up and down in excitement, then she realized she hasn't asked about the place of date. I'm mediately she grabbed the phone and text, "where will our meeting be?"
"Korean park, if you don't mind." He replied.
At last one a room for a sleep has been created, they fell asleep like babies that night.
It's a brand new day with it's new agenda, Princess Lukundo's Call is the first on Grace's received calls for today
" Hey besty..., how are you today after such a long Happy day, you had?" in a cunning attitude tone.
" Lukundo, how did you left the party? I looked for you everywhere."
The look on her face immediately changed, she felt stabbed once more on the healing wounds, almost to lose her temper, she remembered that her mission has just begin, then she controlled her self. " I'm very sorry friend, I had an emergency, so I left without you noticing, nice you where busy for me." Her tone turned low, sending message to Grace, that she wasn't treated right, and abandoned.
" O, come on Love, I'm sorry I didn't mean to abandon you. I'm very sorry, will you forgive me?" she pleaded.
She sees this as an opportunity to set her first plot. " Only on one condition, that you come pay me a visit. I want us to make pizza, you know I respect you, with that, you have been the best since. so what do you think?"
" Aaam.. ah, I wish I could, but... I have a date today." stuttered.
" A date, with who? with eyes wide open she asked.
Before she could respond, Lukundo once again spoke. " Oh, now I'm a stranger to my own best friend, right?" she said it so serious that Grace felt guilty of betraying her.
" No no no... I was about to tell you, relax."
"Eddied me out yesternight and I said yes, but Don't worry, we can still make a day for a pizza. Is it ok?"
From the other side, Lukundo gnashing her teeth in rage, but even, she feels this explosion, only one word brings her back to normal, ' only a matter of time'. " Wow, you could have said it earlier! What time is your date?" As though she's happy about everything
"10 hours."
" This is 9:30, what are you waiting for, you are going to be late, hurry up, get your self ready! Too bad I won't be there to dress you up, my pumpkin." She pass a joke, yet it is burning inside.
"Alright then bye."
"Don't forget to give me on how it will go. Every little thing about it, I demand to know, Friend." She emphasised.
" Yes, my princess, at your service." she saluted, giggling, she cut the call, throw the phone on bed, grab the towel and run to the bathroom.
