Two hours later, the youth left, remaining Oreofe, Folarin and a female senior Nurse named Morenikeji

“This is incredible! I mean its unbelievable, I can’t imagine this still exists in a civilized era? Morenikeji said with streams of surprise in her eyes. Folarin replied.

“yes my daughter, Ayegbaju is fastly gaining freedom from unciviliarism where people don't understand live in common or care for each other, even, ‘when they are bloody related.'

“That’s wonderful sir, I think if these type of culture is imbibed by our world, it would have become a more unified village for everybody to live in.

Morenikeji replied the conversation drew more sense to Folarin, he began, to reason the class of wife Morenikeji will be, thou, he admired her but a second thought of his daughter condition didn't allow him to think towards remarriage. The discussion continued.

'Thank you my dear Folarin cut in. ‘unlike nowadays, government promises heaven and hell in their manifestoes to gain the citizen vote but indirectly seeking their pocket only.

‘Sir,  do I just heard you mention government? Hmmmm..she breathed in and continued

The truth is that they needed our prayers. Moreover, government arm starts from we the masses’, if we rule well definitely they themselves must have a second thought in their dealing with resources that belong to us, Morenikeji was about to conclude, she sighted Oreofe where she's sitting quietly like an angel that came to deliver news but who know if this time will be good or bad as she had finally train herself in the calibers of wolves.

“Oreofe, you look gentle today, 'it's true that all this incidence are painful, but endangering your health can’t solve any problem. 'you might fell sick and that would be like one gun pointing at two birds simultaneously, and of course, you knew the implication. Oreofe, she called. 'you need to cheer up. After advising Oreofe, Morenikeji took permission and returned to her duty.

The absence of Iwalewa and their Mother mandated, Oreofe to now, be the only one to doing all the domestic work at home; fetch water, wash utensils, clothes and prepare meal for the entire family, this wasn't an easy task for her because she's used to them when her mother was alive but this time.

She had to wake up as early as possible sweep the compound, prepare meal.

‘Oreofe you seem too busy today. 'I have being standing here for over some minutes now. Adetoro explained

“Oh! apology prince, I am trying to put things in order. She hurriedly brought out a sit for him to sit down.

'Thank you. He cleared his throat., its being awhile I visited you people due to unavoidable circumstances in the palace. Prince Ade explained as he sit.

‘well, She is fine’. Oreofe responded. Prince Adetoro also, came with some gifts which include supplements for recoveries for Iwalewa he handed them to Oreofe.

“Please, my dear, I planned to go along with you before to the hospital but I just remembered an events going to take place need at the palace this afternoon and I very much need to be there, otherwise my father will be disappointed, possibly, He paused and think. 'first thing tomorrow I will rush down before any other thing, but please help me give this to her and, do well to explain to your father, exactly what I told you. He said.

'Trust me my prince. Oreofe replied after receiving the items.

As Adetoro turned his back, Oreofe called him,  he turned to Oreofe who was scratching her unplated hair, her lips was shaking.

“My Prince. She called. ‘‘How I wish you took what am about to say important. She began.  Its now a month and some days, of Iwalewa sickness, day after days her condition


kept deteriorating. Oreofe breathed down and continue.

'Thou, She's my sister and I wish she survives, however, my prince. Oreofe called and further. 'I suggest, rather than hoping on Iwalewa, you should give me a try.

Oreofe stylishly coined.

''Oreofe, Adetoro answered.  "Indeed, you are a witch! when did you develop all this evil attributes upon your only sister, do you wish her to die?

‘Well’ I heard what you said. Adetoro went home with a lot of anger written on his face like a child who had seen Lucifer in the play ground.

Oreofe was engulfed with shame when she realized that her plan to convince prince Adetoro proved abortive. On the contrary, her
words was rehearsing in Adetoro's mind.

When he got home, he narrated what Oreofe had told him to his father King Adesewa
