LOSE SOME...WIN SOME
"You are finally awake.. thanks goodness you are okay...!" His eyes were full of worries but how in the name did I get here."
"Ahhhh " I whined in pain as I attempt to get up a bit from the bed...
" Don't move..! Your injury is a bit serious. You have been unconscious for days now I thought you might not make it..." His face bowed in regret
If am alive then definitely I already lost pretty bad..my sister!!??
" Where is Ivory...?" Admitting that she's dead is a huge blow I can't take just yet.. maybe a miracle happened and she was saved
" My deepest condolences... she's gone! She had drowned really bad and had die before we were able to rescue you. Your bodies flow to our mid river and our people found you..so I had to bring you back here ". It's seems my life is really jinxed... pathetic.. maybe I have been cursed to suffer serious tribulation for me to still be alive despite such risk...
Tears were far from me.. I tried as much as possible to feel bitter to the point of taking my life but I couldn't do it...am I really that selfish that I can't go accompany my sister in the after life....
"Violet...." It was my mother's voice with swollen eyes and pale face.. Oh...so she can cry this much??
She has to cry... the only child she had with Zuma is already gone...am nothing but an unwanted string in their puny lives. She left immediately like I committed a sin...like am filthy not to be looked at..
I sat back hoping that the war would come and we can all be buried with Ivory...but after waiting none came...! Then why was I kidnapped??? Why did I have to lose my sister and dignity to something that never came....? She risked her lives to protect this hell damned people...but I'll do everything in my power ti send them to her for sight seeing.
The city mourned my little sister for days..but that won't bring her back would it...? I decided to go see the worthless king to figure out if he even tried to save us from those people...if he even cared if not for me but for Ivory... and I suddenly have a bad feeling about it.
Another argument bursted between those two worthless parents... eavesdropping is really a specific talent...
"How could you do this to me...? We just lost our daughter and you want to bring your bastards ti the palace... I will not allow it...!" That sounds like mother in a raging voice... I was right all along..he does have a child outside!!
" I don't need your permission Vera...! You cheated first without any valid reason... I did what I did for the future of our kingdom..."
" Really...? Cheated on you without any valid reason...?! What a joke I have been all these years...! I was raped by the very person you tried to take me from..."
" A woman's tale never end does it...? You have always choose him over me saying he is like a brother... brother my foot! I haven't said this a long time but I will... Vera you are so cheap.. you left your daughter when she was born to a bastard just to coax me... and your illegitimate child has taken after you. I was told that her dignity has been taken.. such a shame to who wants to marry a leftover...."
" So this is what you think of me... Zuma...!! If you don't want Violet I understand but what of ivory...she is your daughter...!"
" She isn't what I wanted...just another female to bother about! If she was a male she would still be here today...!!
A resounding slap landed on his face and I can hear it loud and clear...
" Am so stupid and unfortunate that I have you as a husband... you'll die miserably one day for everything you made me go through in this few years..."
I stand straight as I realized that the talk was over... mother came out with swollen eyes not even caring what people are going to say about her pale figure..
What an ironic life I live in... after so many years of trying to be perfect.. I realized I was far from it and it's beyond me to control my destiny... I should just stay indoors and enjoy the little space, peace and quiet that I have now...
******
The time was very fast and it was time for dinner... I would love to sit inside and not look at those wretched people...but an order was laid I can't fall back.
I slightly prepared and went off to the dinning hall...meals were prepared and it looked like we are having a feast...we just lost my sister...is he celebrating her death as his number one victory....?
My mind was clouded with what ever this man is plotting...!
