QUEEN UGONMA

LOVE LIES

"Wakeii wakeii" George called as he rolled over and pecked her.  She murmured a response and he smiled." How are you feeling today?"  "Great" she said. "Cool, you have to shower and have your breakfast before the doctor comes" George said.  She yawned and stretched and went to the bathroom to shower.  She observed how the bathroom was tastefully furnished with a Jacuzzi, she love the colour and matching utilities.  As she showered, she hummed to herself and felt a pang of guilt for having not called her mum but what would she say happened if she doesn't tell them the truth of what she has passed through.  She  felt bad or can I claim amnesia? "Amnesia" She said it loud for George to hear.

   "Did you say amnesia?" He came to the bathroom door and opened it to peak. "I will be right out" she said.  Moments later she came out tying the towel. She used his lotion and saw a pair of shorts with t-shirts that George has managed to find in his box. She wore them and they were oversized, since the  polo was close to her knee, she decided to wear that alone. George came in and Mary was behind him carrying a tray for breakfast and they both sat at the settee to eat. As the are, he asked "My love you said something about amnesia "   "Oh yes , I have the perfect excuse to tell my mum "  " Really,what?" He said wit such a sad tone as he sighed. " I will just tell them I had amnesia until yesterday when I recovered my memory,  or what do you  think?" His eyes lit up and he gave her a kiss " My love,if you do this for me and wipe away this shame from my family, I will forever remain in your debt," she cupped his face and told him lovingly " My love, you saved my life and this is the least I can do,  cheer up my king "

  The doctor came and checked her vital signs and said  she was doing well and gave her the drugs and left but told them, he can only come every morning but the should call him if the need arises. As soon as the doctor left, Ugonma asked the Prince to give her his phone,  which he did. She dialled her mum's number but it was not going, she dialed her siblings number but they were all switched off. "What do I do, none of their numbers are going through?" " Try any other person in your family now, what of your step mothers " " No I will rather call the lawyer " With that she dialed the lawyers number and she was glad she memorized his number when her dad forced her to memorize it. The lawyer was so happy to hear from her and wanted to know what happened but she told him it's a long story but she needed to talk to her mum. He told her that the mum took all her siblings and left for the United States of America but he however gave her their number.  She promised to call him back later in the evening. 

  The phone rang and she waited for the mum to pick, after about two calls  she finally picked "Hello"  As she heard her mum's voice and was so happy " Mummy, mummy"  "Ugo, Ugonma is that you? Oh may God be praised. What happened,  I have missed you, where have you been? Ugonma sighed and told the mum how Queen Beatrice kidnapped her,locked her up for three days in the palace without food and drugged her and used her to settle the fathers debt but she lost her memory because of the trauma and has been with king Eric and his son since and how nice they have been to me. The mum sobbed as she asked " Why didn't Eric tell me when he came for your fathers burial,  something is wrong somewhere.  How can he have you all this month's and he never said anything,  I am calling the lawyer for his arrest with that of Beatrice" Ugonma was surprised at the turn of events and all efforts to persuade the mum not to press charges proved abortive as the mum got angry and did not understand why she is covering the king up. She hung up exasperated. 

"What do we do now?" She looked at the Prince  whose face was downcast having heard all that transpired between Ugonma and her mum. He took her hands " My love, please don't cry, you did your best. Your mum has a reason not to believe you. Later you must call her and this time tell her the whole truth and let her decide " "What happens to us,then?" She asked as she searched his eyes " My love, my love for you is unconditional ok, now cheer up. At least she now knows your alive and knows where you are? " I love so much " she kissed him and he carried her bridal style to the bed and made sweet love to her.
