      “A-ah, w-who are you really?” Ajabu asked. “Calm down, Your Highness, we are here to help you.
     And which kingdom did you come from?” Sifa questioned when her husband came in. “And what’s your name, my Queen?” Farajah interviewed.
    “My name is Ajabu and I am from the Pweto Kingdom. I ran away from my kingdom, because of my unborn son is in great danger with my husband,” Queen Ajabu explained.
     “What from your husband why?” Sifa informed while sited next to her.
    “Well, to tell you the truth my husband has been killing all of the male children we born for him but since this one is my first  I have to run away to save his life,” Ajabu responded.
    “Oh, how sad but you can remain here for the day you and your son lived!
    But it is so surprising for a pregnant woman like you run away for a hundred miles kingdom always here to Dubie’s village?” Farajah amazed.

Safety at Last

 

      The Darkest Mind

 

Now that afternoon Simba and Farajah returned from work in the farm, when he dropped the heavy firewood on the ground.
   “Afternoon mama and howdy Asante and hello Mrs. Sifa!” Simba greeted.
      “Afternoon son and how was your day with   Farajah at the farm?” The Queen asked.
    “Well, pretty cool but at the same time very tiring.” He nodded. “Yes, of course, more like boring to me, Simba.
       “Therefore don’t say nonsense!” Asante snapped at him. Oh really?
     And you just mad because I and your father always go to the farm to work.
    Yet don’t you worry, you will come with us soon. And papa I guess Asante is ready to come with us too because she is becoming quite a woman,” Simba winked.
     “Hum, I guess you’re right she is becoming quite a woman, Simba.
    And Asante you better thanked Simba here, for tomorrow you are coming with us!” Farajah laughed. “Hahaha, thank you, papa…thank you!” She excited.
     During that night time, the poisonous serpent came out to bushes, towards where the happy family were enjoying their dinner and bit Sifa’s leg.
     Sifa wails in suffering while touching her leg and since they ate outside that’s where it was the snake’s opportunity to strike.
      “A-a-ah, snake-snake, the snake bit me…a-a-ah!” Sifa wailed. “What snake at this hours? This is sorcery!” Farajah panicked. 
     Farajah was about to go get the snake poison’s medicine for his wife, but she refuses. "No-no-no, dear don't go please because it's already too late.
      And Ajabu my friend, please take care of my daughter from his greedy and wicked uncle who want nothing, but wealth, ugh!" Sifa insisted and breath her last immediately.
     The next day Farajah wasn’t feeling good because he been crying the all night for his dead wife.
      Due to the heartbreaking, he felt for his wife’s death, Farajah collapses on the ground outside at time they were getting ready to go to the farm and died.
      Asante calls her father, yet it was useless for he was already gone.
       "Papa-no papa it can’t be you too? Papa, please wake up!” Asante called in tears, however, it was pointless.
     “It’s shall be well my child-it shall be well. Your father is already departed.” Ajabu replied in a disappointed way.
      Asante cried in Ajabu’s bosoms while she comforts her, as for Simba who picks up Farajah’s body and went to bury him next to his wife grave.
       Some people came to visit the funeral, while others console Asante for her father’s and mother’s death.
