Academy
That same evening, they all arrived at the school one after the others.They all exchanged greetings and proceeded to go to their rooms.“I'm sharing the same room with Aria again” Selene murmured.“That's not bad!” Aria giggled.“I'll be sharing with Wesley and I think Keiran got paired with Adam this time around” Marcus uttered.“Gosh! Sorry bro but I'm sure you can cope” Wesley said as he pat Keiran's shoulder.With that, they all left to their various rooms.At night, after Keiran has chosen his bed space and arranged his loads which were mainly books, clothes and his two pairs of shoes.He had dinner and was about to sleep when the door opened. It was Adam, who just walked in.“Jeez! Dad sure it pulled his string “ he thought.“Hey buddy” Keiran greeted.Adam was about ignoring him when he recalled his father's advice, that he should get close to his enemy for an easy attack.“Hi” he greeted me then went to his side of the bed.Keiran paid no attention to him, continuing with his
Pregnancy
“How is my wife?” Anthony,who just relocated his wife to the Central, asked the old man, who had been trying to take her for the past three days, that they enter the central.“She is feeling much better than when you both arrived but I noticed something” the tradomedical doctor said.Anthony paid maximum attention to what the middle aged man was explaining.“I think she is pregnant” “What! Pregnant?” He was shocked.“Yeah and with the look of things, she is about thirty weeks gone” “What! How come? That should be rubbish! I know she hasn't been feeling well, feeling dizzy and has been vomiting for a while but she has been menstruating as well” Anthony explained, one could see the expression on his face was a mixture of confusion and shock.“That's where the problem comes from. The baby position hasn't been good. That's why she has been menstruating and pregnant at the same time, with the discomfort”. The tradomedical doctor explained.“Darling, I'm pregnant. What are we going to do
Anthony
“Thank Goodness” Anthony muttered as he left the market.The market was a bit close to the village, where he had been living with his wife, Juliet.He made sure to keep the money and hurriedly left the village. He parked more things and left.“My wife will give birth soon. This money will be enough to start a new life” he murmured as he walked.“Argh” he cried out as a snake bit him. It wouldn't have happened if he was focused but his mind was thinking about his wife.He immediately found a stick nearby and killed the snake with it.He tore the edge of his trouser, tied his leg with it then continued with his journey.****“Welcome to my house,” Keiran said as he gestured to his friends inside.“Thank you” they all chorused, including Adam who was trying to get closer to Keiran at all cost.“We are spending the weekend here. Yay!” Selene screamed happily.“What should I offer you? Some have been here before but for my new guest, I need to offer you something” he said as he approached
New Faces
“Mister! Mister! Anthony” he kept calling his name as he was tapping him but no response.He tried to listen to his heartbeat by placing his head on Tony's chest but his heart was beating slowly.His leg, where the snake bit him, was already swollen.“Fuck!” He cursed, leaving with no other choice then to carry him on his back, rushing out of the ocean side.“Should I take him home?” He asked no one in particular.“Don't be a fool! You ain't a doctor. Take him to the address he provided earlier” his mind corrected him immediately.Yeah!He thought, recalling how he mentioned his pregnant wife being at the local hospital beside the central market.He kept walking with Tony in his back until he reached the hospital.“Emergency!” He screamed as he got there.It was almost two in the midnight and unless there was an emergency, the hospital would be quiet as both the doctors and the patients would be sleeping.As he shouted “emergency” twice, the door was opened and the tradomedical doctor
Anthony Arrival
Anthony fixed his gaze at Adam as well, trying to recall his face but when he couldn't, he stopped staring at him.“I'm glad to see you both doing well” Keiran uttered.Adam was watching, trying to figure out the connection between Keiran and their hosts.After staying with them for a while, he was ready to go back home..Both Anthony and Juliet stood up to see him off.In the process, they mentioned looking for accommodation in the center and hoping to get an affordable one before Juliet will deliver the baby.“Will you try to manage inside my house? I'm a student and will not be at home during the weekdays. I'll offer you a place for free, if you wouldn't talk about how small it is” he said.“Really? That means you are letting us save money and stress. Even if it is a room, that's more than enough. Thank you” they were excited and wouldn't stop thanking him.“My friends are waiting for me at home. Let me give you the description, so that you can come tomorrow to have it checked” he
The Searching Begin
“Where is him? Where did you get to see him?” The mighty king rant when they arrived at the capital.“Somewhere around here. He was buying rice cake here then I saw him” the guard answered.They both walked to the rice cake seller, who was already rounding up for the day since time had gone.“Hello” the mighty king greeted.“We are closed for the day but you can check back by ten tomorrow morning” the old man replied, then focused on his packing.“Hey! Listen. I am not here to buy any rice cake but to make inquiries about my son. I have been looking for him for a while and heard he came to buy snacks from you yesterday evening. I don't know, maybe you have an idea about where he stays” he explained.The man stared at him from head to toe. If he wasn't a man like him, he wouldn't have understood what was happening.“Your son was seen here yesterday. I don't know your son, neither do I know what you are talking about but I'm sure if your son is one of my customers, either tomorrow or ne
Complicated Issue
“Antony”“I just heard his voice “ he murmured, wanting to stand up but he was feeling dizzy already.He tried for the second time but fell on his buttock and at this time, the doctor that was attending to him rushed in.“Sir, where are you going?” He asked.“A-An-Anth…” he stuttered and before he could finish the sentence, the darkness had taken over.“Gosh! Sleep well” the man said, adjusting his body on the local bed that was inside the room, then stepped out.“Is everything okay?” Tony asked.“Don't mind that old man. He was hallucinating but I'm glad that he is now sleeping. By the time he wakes up, his guard would have come back from where he had gone to get him food” the doctor explained Tony peeped through the tiny hole at the door and was able to see the mighty king sleeping, with his face facing the wall and his back facing the door.He turned back, went to collect his wife's herbs before he ran out of time.*****“What's the update?” Anderson asked his son who was standing
Last Night
The following morning came faster than usual.The mighty king woke up. His vision was blurry but it didn't last long.His guard was beside him and the small table inside the room was already set with food.He recalled what happened the previous night and immediately stood up.He rushed out of the room with his guard behind him.“Sir, you are awake. Hope you slept well. How are you feeling now?” The doctor bombarded him with questions.“Where is he? I surely heard his voice last night. My son, where did you hide him?” He retorted with questions.“What are you talking about? You brought no son here and only came with your guard. I assume the herbs reaction was still inside your body systems, thereby causing you some hallucinations. I'll suggest you go back to bed and by the time you wake up again, everything will have become normal” the doctor advised the patient then left to attend to other patients.“I heard his voice last night. I know what I was saying. I wasn't crazy nor was I hall
Fire on the Mountain
“Listen, Aria. This is not the best time to discuss things like this but we have no other choice, else I'll not be able to sleep” her father started.Aria took her seat directly opposite her father, paying attention to whatever he had to say.“Years ago, I made a mistake and Anderson caught me. He covered up for me which in return, I used our family connection to get him into this college. Years later, he met you and approached you for a betrothal. He wants his son and you to get married when you get older and by doing that, our family relationship will be tightened and nothing will come in between us” he started.“I agreed without thinking twice cos why not? He was my friend and his family was influential enough. Though he keeps making some mistakes which I covered up for him. The agreement made us raise you and Adam to be friends in the belief that if you become friends, you might get to like each other and from there, you will get married. Now, He came back to me that I pulled out
Urgent Request
“Help!” The scream echoed throughout the hostel room.“Is that not Adam?” Aria asked.Keiran immediately pushed the door open and ran inside the room.At the same time, Adam was also coming from the bathroom.He was scratching his body and was naked.“Oh my goodness!” Aria exclaimed, rushing out of the room while Keiran immediately covered him with one of his robes.“What happened? How did this happen?” Keiran asked but no answer.“It's okay, you will be fine. Let's get you to the school clinic”With that, they both got outside where Aria was waiting and she also helped him in getting to the clinic.The nurses wasted no second to attend to him.Some herbal mixture was used to rub his body and he was also given some go drink.After a little while, his body calmed but one thought refused to leave his mind.“What happened to the water he mixed for Keiran? Why did he end up using it? Did Keiran know about the poisonous water and decided to leave it for me? If he had known, why didn't he s
