Her grandfather asks to know why she does not think he could be the one and she replied
That she believes the power his father wield was much and he will want to hand over the
Power to his only son, that was why she never dreamt he could be the one and has been
Thinking that the name just resemble his’. His grandfather told her that he is the one, and
His father has told him that he does not want him to inherit his power because the people of
The island did him much evil, and assuming he has be learned he has said to him once that
He would have left the island for another and leave the people to continue in their evil.
Thence when he grew up he had commanded him to leave the island for the island that was
Surrounded by rivers, oceans, and other countries for according to him he will quickly make
It there. And his son has not argued with him and had left. Years after he left that was
When we started hearing of him that he has been breaking forth in the island, and soon its
Fame is no longer a rumor as we hear musicians singing to praise him in their albums.
That is good to know she told her grandfather. His grandfather called her cousin and
Introduce her to her. She was the one who took her around the town. She will tell her
Grandfather later that what they were saying that it was gods that were angry with the
Island that struck her parents dead about 27 years ago was not true, that she has
Discovered that what happened to them then was epidemic outbreak in the island, and
Assuming she was not taken away by her cousin, she may have lost her life too, because
The epidemic was yet to be over then. Her grandfather told her that she must be correct
Because many of the people who were not in their farmland that year suffered from the
Epidemic and those who did not die, suffered some deformities, he replied her. In the
Meanwhile the preparation for the burial of the man has been on going, and she is
Being taken around the island by her cousin. One day as they were moving around, her
Cousin would tell her that she does not think that the man’s son is married before his
Father’s demise. She cannot really ascertain that, but she knows if he has been married
People within the town would have known. She replied her that during the burial they shall
Know, because his wife would at least come to the burial if he is married and if yet to be
Married, her fiancée would surface there. That was how the matter rested, albeit in her
Mind she has been perusing the word and thinking that if he is yet single this is an avenue
For her to launch herself back into his life, after all they had been very close during their
Childhood days, she has remembered during the end of the year program in which she
Acted as wife while he was her husband in the children’s play presented to the parents,
Guardians and the people of the island before the school closes that year. May be the play
Of yesteryear would come to pass, who knows. Prior the day that the people from his
Work place would come for the final burial ceremony of his father, the island has been
Filled with people. It has been said that he is the one who have built a hotel in the island
[HD] Sing - Shake it off (Remix) - Günther and Rosita
That was done about 12 months ago people say, that hotel has been booked and filled
Up with visitors from all over the republic, while those who could not get space in the hotel
Has gone to nearby island to lodge there. His business companions have been arriving from
44. Outside the country to felicitate with him that he outlived his father. The island has been
Agog, as different activities have been set up for the day. Yet she did not go to his place, she
Says she wants it to be a surprise to him for she has taken two weeks off from her work place
45. To attend the burial of a close relative and she has been granted by the authorities. On the
Day of the burial ceremony, the people of the island says, they have never experienced such
A population in the island since the inception of the island according to history
And according to the elder people among them, such has never happened it is the first
Of its kind, which indubitably confirms that his son has really made it big in the island.
People of different races and culture all came around to felicitate with him. It was during
This period that she reveals herself unto the man. He was incredibly happy to see her, and
Asks her how she heard of his father’s demise and she told her that she heard about it in the
Social media, and having been a while that she visits the area last, and because since the
The time she has left the island, she has not come around, she thinks she needs to use
A stone to kill two birds, and that is how she has come. He asks of when she has been
Around the island and she told her she has been around for about 6 days now, playing
With her grandparents. He was not happy to hear that, telling her that she should have
Come to him at least to greet him and may be he would have used her for one or two things
She apologized for not doing that, telling him that she wants it to be a surprise to him. He
Agreed that it is a surprise indeed, but he would have loved it assuming she comes around
Then, but that notwithstanding as he told her that she must be by his side 24 hours as she has
Come around now.
