Chapter 2 - Prologue

"Mum, I want to pee" a six-year-old girl whined to her parents

"Sweetheart, please be patient, let your father find a safe place to park the car" Mrs. Lawson her mother replied.

" My princess, don't you worry daddy will wait for your sake" Mr. Lawson her father assured her

" Thank you, Daddy, I love you"

" I love you too dear"

Lawson is the king of Zamzam and Angela his Queen, they both love having quiet time with their only daughter.

They were just coming back from the beach where they took their daughter with them before tragedy struck them.

Their car pulled over by the roadside the girl who had been pressed up jumped out of the car to ease herself while her parents sat inside the car watching her.

Meanwhile, a truck driver has been trying to control the brake of his vehicle but all efforts administered by the driver to stop the truck prove abortive so he decided to run into a drainage system (gutter) so that he can end the speed of the truck.

Unfortunately for him, he didn't see Lawson's car on time to avert the danger or even alert them.

The accident scene was a gory sight to behold, the truck ran into the car and it somersaulted three times before it explodes. The car was burnt beyond recognition. Although people tried to help there's little or nothing they could do

The most painful part was that the little girl had to watch everything that happened to her parents but being a small child she couldn't comprehend what happened she started walking aimlessly around calling her parents' names.

Mr. and Mrs. Richard were coming back from the beach as well and they decided to pass along the route the Lawsons took.

They were surprised to meet the accident, well the sympathizers did not notice the little child crying because Mrs. Richard was able to see her. She felt pity for the poor girl, she got down from their car and move closer to the young girl

" I want my mummy" she cried

Mrs. Richard was trying to pacify her when she fainted, the woman was terrified she carried her to the car and inform her husband to drive them to the nearest hospital.

On getting to the hospital the doctors were able to revive her but anytime they were able to revive her she falls back into a coma again so the doctor advised that they let her wake up by herself.

After six months she finally woke up but with an empty memory. The couple decided to adopt her as they didn't know her parents and no one filed for a missing child. After a month they all travel out of the country.
