2021-10-01 03:43:25On arrival back home, Gatamu had to go share the good news with his friend doctor Kirimi. Since his relationship to this girl was to remain under laps, doctor Kirimi was the only person that Gatamu would speak to about Peninah. He could hardly wait to tell this to doctor Kirimi but before then, he had to deal with someone first. He had to deal with his so-called girlfriend or rather, his arranged wife-to-be Silviah.
Ever since their fight, she swore never to let him fall into the hands of another woman. She had been making sure that Gatamu thought about nobody else other than her for his woman. This meant that, when Gatamu arrived from the village, she was the welcoming wagon back in the city. It is not that her being the welcome wagon was a problem, especially not to a Prince but, indeed, it was with someone as nagging as her.
Was it not for the advices from his friend to keep Silviah as close to him as possible, to save himself and his love for Peninah, he surely c

After a few minutes’ drive, Gatamu’s convoy was already at the doctor’s place. Without waste of any second, he pushed the door and let himself in the house. Doctor Kirimi was in his couch taking the day’s load off. At this moment, he already knew that his friend had something bothering him in his head and was there for help once again and not the normal friendly visit. “My good friend Gatamu, how are you and how has been your stay at Ruaki conurbation?” “My friend, I am good or rather, my stay at Malaba district was awesome and a great success. I was the happiest prince for some minutes before I was told the most annoying news I have heard all year and that made my day very, very dark. Actually, I came here to have a talk about how things went for me out there but first, I need your help.” “My prince, bad luck seems to have a way of getting into bed with you these days. Anyway, let me take a wild guess; it has to do with Silviah again isn’t it?” “Of c

After this conversation and with him having what he was after, Gatamu headed straight back to his home. This time he was in search of Silviah and his father to apologize for his reaction earlier. Lucky enough for him, Silviah had gone nowhere this time. He just found her at his home. Although she was at their home and the king having told her that everything was to be okay, she still was not herself. One could tell this by the look on her face after she saw Gatamu return. Without much and do, he walked right up to her where she was seated under a shade just outside the palace to explain himself. “Hi there; I see that you are still here. Aren’t you bored being alone?” “What do you think genius, of course I am bored. I also know that you ask this first because you are trying to ask or tell me something about what happened earlier. Cut to the chase and speak it out already, will you?” “Yes of course. And how did you know I was about to tell you something

She too was in search of a way to show this Prince the love she had for him. She was eager to know the best way to show her love to a man. She could even ask her mother for advises on how to go about it. You know what they say that, in order to know, ask the experts. Indeed, she did ask the experts.

Just ask.” “Well, it’s about the Prince.” “What about the Prince, I thought you sai

Rimberia, on the other hand was the happiest man in the whole district. He had started to harvest the fruits of his hard labor. His gold mine was paying off very well. The token that Gatamu gave him was getting him over his head. He knew that being the only one that knew about it, he could enjoy the benefits for quite some time. He thanked the gods too for the gift they had given him. From what the Oracle had told Peninah and her family about Rimberia, Peninah’s father Mr. Makubu was very much aware of what was happening but could not show it to Rimberia. After all, he was happy that it was Rimberia doing everything. This is because, if it were anybody else, Rimberia would surely go to any length to see it fail. He was such an egocentric. All he thought about was himself and little about his family. Though this was some kind of a tradition in this district, people minding and caring only about themselves, his was a notch ahead of all the others. They are not to blame

He spread out the word to his lead guard to find him someone who was good at the job. He could not get anyone from outside because his son could be suspicious about it. Indeed, he found one hell of a spy. There was one tall, dark heavily built ex-army guy that fitted the position very well. Tentatively, he had to come up with a reason for his son as to why he had to change his security personnel. This was not hard though for his family seemed to have a talent in telling lies. The lying business was not only good to square things between him and his son but also was an important ingredient for a king to have. He had to lie to his people from time to time. This is because, although he was the king and a king is assumed to get all he wanted, sometimes it was not that easy. He had to li

Gatamu was very pleased and confident that his plan was safe. He went for the car as Rimberia went to let Peninah know of the plan. After a short while, the three of them got into the car and drove off. As they were driving, Gatamu and Peninah could hardly resist each other’s charm. They talked all the way to the ‘safe house’ exchanging some sweet words. Finally, they were here at the ‘safe house’ so to speak. It was in one of Rimberia’s property in one of the traditional huts. This was very adventurous for the Prince too. After Rimberia got them here, it was time for him to leave and keep an eye on the project as the Prince woos. He found his own way back to the project again. Peninah and Gatamu were left alone to share whatever it was they had to share to prove their love for each other.

He hardly knew that his day was about to suck. This gold mine was about to be his alone no more. As he took Gatamu and Peninah to this so-called secure location, something that was never anticipated happened. There happened to be an elder around the parts whom happened to see it all. It was very clear to him that no one could convince him otherwise. He too had a chance to get his hands on this gold mine. He could not wait any longer than required and decided to confront Rimberia about it. Rimberia could not think of there being bleach in his plan so, when he saw the elder; he thought he was coming to give him news about the progress of the law amendment.

This time, he was very happy and had an achievement that he got to share his love with Peninah and more so, sealed it properly as required. He could not wait to get to Kibich and share the good news to his friend doctor Kirimi. Rimberia on the other hand made sure that Gatamu and Peninah do not know the information about this secret being known. If they got a clue of this, it could mean a problem for them and for Rimberia too. He kept it under laps to himself and this time, Naitiira only. Days passed by and finally, Naitiira had a crew enough for his awkward mission. It was after he had enough youths that he incited them to riot against Rimberia accusing him of dishonoring the traditions of the land.

The King also knew that the Prince could not do anything to keep him away from Peninah. He believed that his son was dead. He too had the death syndrome and forgot that if it was faked, he could still see Peninah. I guess the parent child bond is too strong for anything. All he thought of was losing a son. The news that the Prince had died spread everywhere from the city to the village. He was mourned and as usual, his remains where laid to rest. It was one big blow to the people of the Warume dynasty. They had just lost a potential king. At the village, Makubu and Rebecca could not comprehend what they had just heard. Although Peninah knew that the Prince was not dead, she was not to share even with her parents. This one secret had to remain between the three of them only. In disbelieve, they went to see the Oracle for answers. They could not fathom how the gods had let the Prince and savior die. On arrival at his shrine, they met him in dismay as well. Alth

At Ruaki township, the drought was very severe but the elders were convinced that it was about to end. This was after they decided not to punish Peninah. For the Oracle, he was just praying that the gods do something about the drought. If it persisted for long after, the elders could begin to suspect being lied to. King Matumu could not risk anything coming between his son and Silviah anymore. He decided to marry the two. They both discussed it with Mamiti and came to an agreement. Consequently, there was no need to waste any more time. The wedding was fixed and the plans were set on track. Gatamu and Peninah continued to meet without a glitch for quite some time. They got too confident that Silviah and the king could not suspect anything. They began meeting more frequently. The excuse was perfect though. The doctor had to say that the Prince just needed more check-ups. They forgot one thing though. Once bitten, twice shy. King Matumu was not at will to take

At Ruaki village, the elders learnt of Peninah’s sneaking out at night to go see the Prince. They became determined to punish her for it. During the first time she was in relationship with Gatamu, it was not so severe. There was a chance of her forgiveness. After they discovered of her persistence in seeing the prince against their will, they surely meant to pass judgement on her. Makubu knew that to be no good news. He went to see the Oracle and told him about it. He needed the oracle’s help to save his daughter. They both had to do something fast to save her. “Good day holy one,” Makubu greeted. “Good day too Makubu; to what do I owe your visit this day?” “I certainly have a problem that needs your intervention and possibly prayers.” “What sort of problem is this that worries your soul to such an extent that I can tell from the look on your face?” “The elders have found out about my daughter seeing the Prince again and they decide to

Peninah later came to open up to the Prince and told him of the news that she was with a child. The Prince was so happy, saw this as an opportunity, and guarantee for them to be together forever as it was his dream and hers too. He could not keep this just to himself. He shared it with Kirimi. Kirimi was so proud too and encouraged him to fight on for this girl. Silviah could not hold on any longer. She could no longer sit back and wait for the Prince to come through. For the time they had stayed together with him, she had noticed that sometimes he could hold on to something without letting go. She decided to have some people trail him whenever he went and find out if they are still seeing each other with Peninah. It was the only thing Silviah could do because she could not risk stepping foot to the village to warn Peninah to keep her hands off the Prince. Indeed, her guess was not wrong after all. The spies told her of the news that Peninah and the Prince were still

Lucky enough for the Prince, Naitiira thought that it was time for him to own the mine. He visited the city on his own behind other elders back and went to see Gatamu. All he wanted was to let him know that he could help him to see Peninah without having to go to the village. This is just what Gatamu needed to hear. This is just what he was looking for. Naitiira was lucky enough this time because he was willing to spend any amount of money to have Peninah by his side. It was in Warume that money could also buy love or, so they believed. Again, it was money about to put everything back on track for Gatamu. Naitiira visited the city and they had a talk with Gatamu about the whole plan. Since they could not risk being found, they had to do it at the doctor’s place. He was to be sneaking Peninah out of the village and into the city to have them meet.

In the city, money was everything and everything was money. In fact, money was god. Here, in these parts of the country, money talked louder than the voice of the people and any god. The fact that Gatamu had to be betrothed to a woman chosen for him was enough evidence. Gatamu and Silviah’s betrothal was not based on their love for each other neither was it for the good of the people, no. It was all in the service of their parents’ egotistical interests and treacherous ambitions. Mr. Mamiti and the king had been friends for such a long time. They had done many things together; some of which were against the people’s rights and humanity. The main reason for it all being; their greed for power, influence and affluence. The king wanted his son to marry Mamiti’s daughter as a sign of their trust for each other and to keep the noxious secrets buried. Divulging them deleterious secrets would do either of them colossuses no good. Though they were friends, both kept

In the Warume kingdom, the spy had already told the king about what had happened at the village. He stipulated to the king that his son was seeing a village girl and that they might have gone beyond just seeing each other. The king was worked up but could not react until; he had enough prove that his son was surely bewitched by a village girl. He also made sure that Silviah did not know about it for she could tell her father. Her father’s knowledge about this could not go well for him. It was so not good. He had to do everything to keep it secret. This meant that he could not ask his son about it neither could he show him a negative attitude. Although deep inside he was burning and dying to ask his son about it, he had not another choice but to keep his mouth shut. Silviah had not any clue of what was going on in the palace. As far as she was concerned, she was the apple of the eye for Gatamu. She was the only bean in his githeri I say. Gatamu and his father as well
