"I sense an improvement in your aura within this brief impasse, my lady."
TOGUI'S complimentary voice rang in her ears. She portrayed a genuine smile on her windscreen then asked to continue the elaboration. However, Togui wondered how she could manage to easily switch between anger, sadness and liveliness smoothly in clicks. Three different emotions in a blink like that. if it were to be a superficial ability? she would be unmatched and cool at the same time but it wasn't, then he simply attributed it to her pregnancy. He has experience of expecting mothers being temperamental. He didn't want to initiate another episode because he didn't know what to expect. Since some women can be extreme, so he went right to topic. However, there was calm before a storm. Her improved mood was not to be long lived.
"The Golden Armlet of the land of Srogbe Anglo Ga is not an ordinary ornament. It was conjured spiritually with the combined efforts of the people and the goddess Mama Ga Sogbo Lisa herself in the ever blazing fluid fires of neverland. Not a physical simple artifact, to protect the mother of the indigenous people. A mother with a pure, unstained heart to nurture her children. As such not anybody can touch or have it so as not to desecrate it.
Moreover, it chooses it owner most especially a kind hearted one for that matter. If you must know, there is a substitute with his spouse in your husband's seat as we speak. The throne could not be left vacant for that long after the death of your father in-law. The former king 'FIA GA DENGLOR II' as well as wait for his heir apparent who declined the stool until he had a reform of mind.
"So it was all really true? The story on the news back then?"
"Yes my lady!"
"I wanted to ask him more stuff when he first came out clean but I was in a bad spot. I wonder how I could have missed it?" The old man contemplated for a while then posed a delicate question.
"My lady, if I may? ... per chance do you know or have you heard my king being addressed by his birth name? Togui asked looking critically at her for a reaction.He bets she is not aware.
instantly she felt as if a bucket of water filled with ice cubes was dumped over her. it seems the figure of speech was literal at that moment . For Jenn that was the moment of a call to wake up from her wonderland slumber. To think she had been with him for all this while, also knocked up full by him yet did not even know his real name!? The scary aspect was that it never crossed her numb mind throughout the jolly ride. The first time they were introduced at their annual 'WASA' party she didn't know they would become a pair. She only thought it would be a meet, greet, hang out eventually party thing not move on to the extent of having a baby together most notably Marriage in the pipeline then titles. Back to the more prominent his real name. in the end the chemistry was in so much sync, besides the name given to that day was' OLD SOLDIER' she just carried on with him from there and then with it till this dawn of realization slapped with a sting of a slashing knife on her cheek. How she be so negligent? Which government institution would enlist someone with a nickee, rather than a first plus last name? At least his name tag on his uniform should have caught her attention if not once or twice. In fact. many times than she should be able to put a number on! so how? was she hypnotized? what exactly in the name of Zerubbable happened these past few flown by months. of course! she was under hypnotism of those naughty corked thick sexy brows, sparkly orbs sending heat through your body with gaze which made you feel beautifully bare fully clothed. That mesmerizing suggestive wild smile with exposed dazzling white teeth, lips looking silky soft making you want to taste them without permission, to invade their premise disregarding the rule of private property .. Oh! Truly do they do justice to their allure as a savor keeps you stuck on them in a demonic hold; devour is that only standing tall bold word understandable, none other. Those properly toned tamed body of muscles, running down sultry s*x lines like a body mindful, well sort after exotic male stripper. Darn! That African godlike male warrior! She shouldn't be drooling over his body in that instant. There was a more pressing issue to handle than the lustful distractive impressions. At that moment many negative what ifs waves across her mind, most dominant .. what if he was an irresponsible dude focused on playing around? How was the narration going to be from reporting to her parents about her current condition? As upright as he was, she was still in the developing stages of how to divulge the situation to them! Darn! A cold chill run through her, she was now living the side effects of the simile thither. The monitor began to beep to let her deposition. Her agitation was adversely disturbing her health. For a minute there she had forgotten, she was hooked to machine. She began to take steady breaths to calm her unnoticed quickened heartbeat down. She could not resist the temptation to sigh out 'Old Soldier again!' if not him? Who else could it be? it was always him and likely going to be him till the end. The last she recalls he sent her to the emergency room whiles teleporting her soul to the still waters of oblivion. To which destination was her sending her today? She only hoped it was not the land of no return. He comes in a combination of bitter sweet flavor perfectly complemented. A blend she was hooked on like dope.
"Oh no! Goodness gracious! my anguish was justified. She doesn't know his real name." Togui realized. He suspected it just moments ago, now it was validated.
"What is his full name?" she requested bluntly
"LINUX DZIEDZOM DENGLOR JR." he replied without making use of figuration.
"LINUX, DZIEDZOM, DENGLOR JR." she repeats the names consecutively in a whisper with eyes as of a compelled soul. LIN! 'she exclaimed hushly.' names with beauty 'she compliments' I see why he is bubbly always, 'DZIEDZOM- well pleased' the name suits him perfectly. No wonder he brings sunshine wherever he goes. I was ignorant about his beautiful names only clinging to an alias. How could this important piece escape us? He was fully aware of my name aligned with my background yet I..I 'she drops her head melancholic-ally in embarrassment unable to complete her statement.' where did the over thinker, perfectionist, assertive Jenn go? She lost herself in him."
***********************************
A gasp! left the spout of a deep buried in thought Mansa absent mindedly. After her epic display of lack of decorum, she had been battling with herself to hold her peace. Something she was bad at yet succeeded. However, her mind would rather shout on top of her lungs than hold her trumpet after being incited, just as the temptation from a priest officiating a marriage ceremony by giving the platform to a vindictive jilted lover with a valid confession as to why the two people should not be joined together in holy matrimony. 'IF THERE BE ANYONE HERE WITH A REASON WHY THIS TWO SHOULD NOT BE JOINED AS HUSBAND AND WIFE KINDLY SPEAK UP NOW! OR FOREVER HOLD YOUR PEACE! Touché! Amidst all the revolutionary discoveries she itched to ask tones of questions but comported herself. She did scrutinize every fresh development sternly inwardly though! the precursor to her heave.
Indeed! she was surprised! who wouldn't be? By the new exposé but not as much as shocked by the fact that Jennifer did not in the slightest contemplate it. How could a person's nature either so much, there is almost no trace it even existed. Who was this sitting in front of her? She could not recognize the person annex her and that was a super blow to her. To be frank, she also didn't know old soldiers real name too, as well as the new updates on him, but she was not sharing a bed with him? if that's counts for a rational to not knowing someone true given birth name.
That notwithstanding, she knew her man's full name, rank bonus over etc. She wondered where her friend who was mindful of all the pretty details went? Takin another critical look at Jenn just to fully convince herself; she didn't believe it was her friend sitting right next to her. She believed her friends body has been taken over by an extra terrestrial being. Inarguably, she agreed old Soldier had a charming personality. He swayed everybody he came across effortlessly. She recalled the first time was introduced to him. She was so taken in by him, Asamoah! thought the worst of her. snorts! Their relationship suffered some setback until they were able to clarify and resolve things. Story of her life! she chuckled inside rolling hers eyes. Never the less, he was a charismatic figure with great appeal to all. No wonder the old man said her was mourned instead of father when her disappeared. None the less, Jenn was strictly rational always to the commander IDI AMIN kind of parents she has. They loved her to bits and were also brutal depot's of discipline. Reversing back to the main character, Mansa had at that point understood the personification 'Love is blind'. That old age allusion to the Roman god of erotic love CUPID. His blindfold representation really did a great number on her friend.
"Calm down my lady. I pulled a lot of strings to keep his face from the news circulating then. i had to call on the national traditional counsel of chieftaincy body to collaborate with the government to put restrictions on the broadcast. In terms of the information to put out there, his name and face were prohibited. Not many know the face of the man that was bold enough to walk away from a throne. He was like a celebrity then, a faceless one! to be concise and precise. He was admired by multitudes for running away from riches. If only people also knew the ugly inside scoop of that responsibility. it was, has never and will never be a small piece of cake! To a lesser group he was hated on for being a coward. These statistics were derived from the response of netizens during that time. Keeping his identity from others? I would admit logically would be meant, as in a defense mechanism to conceal his truth. The less people that heard the name? the less suspicion. Keeping it from you tho? am very certain was not intentional. A mistake and a big one at that I dare presume, after coming out to you ... My lady.
He might have been carried away just as you were." Togui felt the need to salvage his son's reputation. He didn't want Jennifer to have doubts about old soldier at that juncture. He was genuine as her came in addition to also having noble intentions for her. He believed beyond reasonable doubts that it was a flaw of omission not with aware. After giving his submission which was all he could do? Stifling silence befell the room. He could not read her expressions since her emotions were in rapid change successive motion like a chameleon changing colors to blend in it environment. He waited in agonizing anxiousness for her response. After all the final say was hers. He only pleaded with the gods she didn't take it a huge misdeed against her knowingly.
Mansa out of selfishness thought it was too much. This was the time for her to explode. She should just let all hell loose and be done with it. It was unhealthy from the beginning anyways. She secretly waited for her friends grand finale's announcement.
