Rev's Daughter

Home

Her beauty is first to none, her smile is heavenly, her eyes is golden and inviting, her tiny hands softer than the wools, she is indeed the definition of beauty "Lucy" that's her name, that is the name I have chosen to call her because she will bring light, hope and laughter back to kanga, Rev Christ said still looking at the tiny little creature in his arms, I will raise her as my own, I will give her all the love she deserves, so would all of you, he points at his people who were present, yes father, all of them looked at each other without uttering a word. I know you have questions but in as much as I would love to answer your questions and clear the curiosities in you , I chose not to , everyone should have their own opinion about how she come to be, but the only thing I have to say is, we all have our different duties before her. She is the queen now. I don't want to entertain any form of gossip about her, she is innocent of this world. The domestic staff who works in the parish house, have many questions but it seems like the priest is not going to entertain any form of questions at this moment, they decided to keep quiet and follow his lead after all he has been like a father to them despite working for him, they owe him that much, taking care of this cute little princess won't be a problem, it is a great joy for them and they accepted it whole heartedly. What is there not to love, the girl is pretty, she doesn't cry, her smiles are so lovely. Father always make sure she has everything, he employed a personal nanny Naomi who sees her needs.

Lucy is indeed a great light, growing up has been easy, she is now six years older, her beauty shines like the morning sun, she is so adorable, she is loved by every single person both in the perish house and those coming to the perish house. She talks a lot, and won't stop asking questions, she is an adorable kid.

Lucy! Lucy!! You will fall if you continue running, Naomi an elderly lady shouted, I won't fall this time aunt, she said with a smile and continue with her running, oh! I see,and don't cry to me when that happens, Naomi warned her, yes aunt.

Naomi is a lady in 40s, dark and tall elegant woman, she has a brown eye that makes her look like a cat, she has been the one taking care of Lucy right from day one, she has grown to love and cherish her, anyway it is not only her, almost everyone love her but she has been the closest after Rev Christ, whom loves Lucy unconditionally, he loves her even though he knows she is his doom.

Naomi was about to enter inside when she heard Lucy cries, she has fall again she said our loud as she rushes to the direction of voice. I warned you didn't I? Lucy drops her head without any response, you don't hear with this your ears and now you have hurt yourself. I'm sorry, I will listen to you next time aunt, she managed to say amst tears, it is alright darling, as long as you promise not to disobey again you're forgiven. Thanks aunt. You can go ahead and play but remember to come do your home work OK, Naomi smiled at her and she hugged her leg, OK aunt. Lucy and gray continued playing none stop. Gray is Naomi's nephew, so he always come to the parish house, he and Sofia has been the only friends Lucy has both in school and at home, Sofia is their classmate but their only see doing school hours, after school hour Gray and Lucy will go to the parish house to have lunch before grays mum will come and pick him up.

It is already night, Naomi is preparing Lucy for bed, her room which is painted and decorated on pink color, almost everything about her is pink, a small plastic table and chair nicely set for her learning during the day, Rev Christ had bought that set of reading instruments for her few week times when she turned 4. It occupies small portions of the room.

Aunt where is my mummy? Lucy out of the blues asked Naomi who was startled by the question, she makes a space and sat beside her, stroll her head, give her a kiss on her both chicks, your mummy will come soon but now you have to sleep, Lucy wanted to say something again but Naomi placed her hand in her mouth, sweetie, you go to bed now, enough of the question. She got up, turned the light switch off and close the door behind her. Immediately she got out of the room, she hive a big sigh of relief. What will she tell her when she her self don't know her origin, is father not being unfair to her. She walked to her own room to change, take bath and rest for the day, Lucy is a full time work for her, after she left for school, she will clean, wash and cook, even though they have cook, she cooks only for Lucy and take care of all her needs, well she is not complaining, in fact she enjoys doing all of it.

It is already 7:30 in the morning, Lucy is set for school. She is standing waiting for her lunch box when jasper, a seminarian posted in the parish walked up to her. Lucy on siting him run and hugged him and he lifted her up to his face level. My light, jasper has chosen to be calling her light instead of Lucy since Lucy is also light. I hope my princess slept very well last night?yes semi, I did and I also dream where I was flying too. You did? She nod her head. That's what angels do, their fly. Are you saying that I'm an angel? Yes my princess you're an angel. But daddy say angels don't leave here with us? But you're sent to live among us. Enough with the storyline, Lucy you will be late for school, Naomi interrupted their discussion, aunt but my school is within the premises, I won't be late. Jasper looked at Naomi, I will take her to class, you don't have to worry.

Jasper dropped her in her class, a beautiful room, designed in kids taste, everything about the room looks childish, the plastic chairs meant for kids learning , the marker board standing before the kids. You can see a pretty lady in her mid-twenty seated at the right side of the room, miss Chloe, their class teacher. Lucy you are late again? I'm sorry miss Chloe, it won't happen again. What's the use of the apology when you kept on coming late Lucy? If you know you won't change stop apologizing, it is not good. I will stop miss Chloe. Do you promise? I cross my heart this time. That's my girl, she gave her high five.

It is break time, kids are playing at the playing ground, some are in the slide why some run around the field. Sofia! Sofia!! Lucy called her friend and classmate, you don't want to talk to me again? Yes Lucy, you are not my friend again. But I did not do anything wrong? You refused to come to my house and stay with us. Lucy started subbing why Sofia left her and join the other kids to play. Lucy is cry cry baby, Cora her classmate teased her. She looked at Cora and continued her cry , what is it Lucy? Cora who is now seating beside her asked her. Sofia say she won't be my friend again; is that why you are crying, she nodded, don't worry, I will be your friend. OK, Cora helps her to clean her tears, and both of them ran back to class happily.

School is already over, Lucy and Cora says their good bye while she ignored Sofia who is waving at her. Lucy Sofia is saying bye to you, she says I'm not her friend, she is playing with Mila who doesn't like me, she is about to enter the parish house when she sited Rev Christ car coming. Daddy!!!!!!!!! She screamed with excitement, Rev, stopped his car and come down, she run to him and he opened his arms as she ran into them and he carried her up high. Daddy why do you leave me and go? I'm sorry my princess, you are going to school and I won't be able to take you along. But I don't want to go to school again, Rev looked at her in surprise. Why my princess? Sofia say she won't be my friend again, she is now Mila friend. Is that why you don't want to go to school again? Yes daddy, it is OK, I will talk to Sofia and Mila so all of you will be friends again. No daddy, I don't want them again, it is only Cora that will be my friend. We will talk about it when you're free ok, remember you are not allowed to keep enemies right? I know daddy. She carried her inside and instructed the gate man to drive the car inside.

Guess what daddy bought for you, Chocolate? Wrong ;teedy, no, daddy but I told you to buy teddy for me. Oh! Sweetie, daddy forgot again but I promise to make it up to you next time. Rev carried her to the car, he brought out a set of learning materials, he was expecting her to be happy about it, she is not. Don't you like it? Dad I don't want to go to school anymore. But I told you we'll talk about it, I don't see anything wrong with Sofia making friends with Mila, see sweetie, Sofia Mila being friends doesn't mean both of you are not, remember what I told you, if you want to be like sister mariam when you grow up, that means you don't have to keep enemies and you have to go to school too sister Mariam will be sad if she hears you saying you won't go to school, then dad, I don't want to be like sister mariam again, I'm not going to school and I'm not talking to Sofia anymore. Rev Christ stared at her for some time before crouching to her level. My sweet girl, why don't you like Mila? Daddy, Mila is very annoying, she likes stepping on my toes in the class, their is this day she poured water into my lunch box, it was my class teacher that gave me food after scording her for being naughty. And the other she said I don't have mummy but aunt said my mummy will come, is that true daddy, Rev who is speechless at this moment don't know what to say. Yes my darling jasper who has been standing listening to their conversations replied. Both of them turned towards his direction., my light, you don't have to stop school just because someone is making you feel uncomfortable, do you know that if you stop school, Mila will be happy, she will have the class to herself, she will her your new friend Cora too just like Sofia. My light do you want Mila to win you, you remember you're more intelligent than her that's why she doesn't like you, so if you might stop school, she will be happy, so princess, do you want Mila to win you or do you want to win her? Jasper asked her pointing at the direction of their class. I want to win her semi, then you have to fight, to win because winning comes to those who aspire to win. It is OK jasper Rev cut him short, Lucy run inside and wait I want talk with semi.

You know she is still a kid, I mean all of them are kids, you teaching her how to fight at this tender age is wrong, Mila is acting the way she is because she is still a little child. No father, you might think Mila is acting this way because she is a little girl but let me tell you something, that hatred that little Mila has for Lucy will be there forever, we are waiting and hoping that she will change but it is not going to happen, it is better we accept the fact both kids won't get along for life. It is best for Lucy to know her enemies now than later. I know you're concerned because you're a priest but you have to defend and protect Lucy, we have to stand up for her now or never, I don't want her to be weak.

I still want her and Mila to get along, Rev says as he walks away.

Good morning kids!! Good morning miss Chloe, Chloe entered with two kids, this is Zoe and Jan, they will be your new classmate. Zoe who spotted Lucy went straight to her, can I sit with you? Lucy lifted her bag up and she sat, making her to be in the middle, Zoe on the left hand and Cora on the right hand. This my friend Cora and I'm Lucy. She did introduction. Thanks Lucy and Cora, my new friends, please can Jan also be our friend because he does not have any, yes off course Zoe, Cora replied and wave at Jan. Thank you. During break I will introduce you to my friend gray and Megan all of us can be friends. Thank you Lucy, little Zoe is very happy. They brought their books as miss Chloe instruct them.
