THE PRESIDENT DAUGHTER
SEASON ==2 EPISODE ==39
**Never look down anyb©dy**
What someone is today might not be the
same tomorrow. That someone has nothing
today doesn’t mean he won’t have
everything tomorrow. Never think low on
someone because he isn’t worth anything
compared to others especially when the
same person is not lazy but struggling ha-rd
with his talents, skills and strength to make
something good out of his life. Testimonies
comes in different ways… what you are
today might not be what you’ll be tomorrow;
my story is different from yours and your
story is different from others, so never look
down on anyb©dy. How shameful and
embarras-sing it is for you to go back to who
you left, you regret leaving him/her because
he/she didn’t have what you wanted.
Everyone has his or her own Grace in life,
so always think positive and never look
down on anyb©dy. “The stone the builders
rejected can become the cornerstone”

With other crimes added to Dorothy’s case,
she got s£ntenced to death by firing squad.
Sincerely I got shocked when I heard it. I
felt somehow sorry for her because this
happened to her because of her stupid and
crazy love for me.
I met with Vincent to ask him if he has
heard anything from Mirabel, he replied no
saying she hasn’t called anyone yet. I still
asked Jummy and Frank but I got the same
answer. I told Promise everything that
happened and how Mirabel has been
behaving immediately I told her what
Dorothy did to me. She also had no idea on
what could be wrong with Mirabel. It can’t
possibly be as a result of Lola’s death,
because she started the attitude even
before Lola died. I continued with my
studies while waiting for her to return. I had
to catch up with all I missed. I noticed how
students gets closer to me since I resumed,
asking me questions upon questions. Many
of them want to be where I am, they also
took pictures with me even those from other
dep@rtments. Even Esther, the first girl I
met when I started the school c@m£ to see
me in my dep@rtment accusing me of
forgotten her as I’m now a big boy d@t!ng
the president’s daughter, that she lost her
phone and lost my contact in the process
that’s why she haven’t been calling me and
I refused to call her bla bla bla… and she
still knows my dep@rtment. My ex semi-
friends Frankkay, Titus and others c@m£ as
well to renew our friendsh!p. I accepted
them all on a condition that we’ll only be
friends in school and meet outside school
only on official and important matters. I
wasn’t surprised about all these at all…
that’s how life is.
Dax has been in the U.S even before Lola
died. He went on tour with one of his
musical friend who recently signed him to
his label; it’s an opportunity for him to
boost his musical career, he alre-ady has the
money, he is after fame.
I got back to the house after school without
Nancy and I had a video chat with Ike… we
talked on how he left so soon, he said he
had to leave because of some new business
deals he had to take care of. I wanted to
tell him about Mirabel but refused to after
he tea-singly said he’d only come back to
Nigeria before the next five years only for
our wedding (i.e Mirabel and I). He told me
how he helped me with my website during
my abs£nce; how he, frank and others
tracked me when they noticed the tracking
device I had on me st©pped moving so they
thought I have reached where they were
keeping the girls only to find my clothes in
the bush. We talked on other things before
we ended the conversation.
I checked my website and noticed some
improvements and the handwork of Ike. I
saw new adverts on the sites which mean
new deals. I initiated a chat with my
workers and they upd@t£d me on everything
that took place during my abs£nce, the new
deals and all before I checked my bank
account and saw that it has gotten larger.
*******
Later that night, I couldn’t sleep because of
my thoughts for Mirabel. I kept switching
position while on the be-d restlessly, I got up
started moving around still thinking about
her with so many thoughts running throu-gh
my head. I felt like I’m losing her, like her
love for me has reduced to the red point,
like she wants to end our relationsh!p… Ojo
ki ko! (Igala language which means God
forbid!). Normally in my past relationsh!ps, I
wouldn’t care if my girlfriend starts
behaving somehow because it’s so easy for
me to move on with or without anyb©dy be
it a guy or a girl. Mirabel has gotten to the
de-epest p@rt of my heart, her love and care
is so much for me to just forget. See how
restless and disturbe-d I am because of
her…. I really miss that girl! Now I
un-derstand what made Marcus go crazy,
Mirabel is just the best!
I decided to work on the site and as well
surf the internet supported with a glas-s of
wine as I couldn’t sleep.
On my to school the following morning, I
called Mirabel’s mother – the first lady but
she didn’t pick up, probably busy. I couldn’t
pay attention to the lectures and everyone
noticed it even the Lecturers. One of them
asked me to follow her to her office after
her lecture of which I did and the following
conversation ensued…
Lecturer: Tell me Victor, what is wrong with
you? I noticed how you’ve been acting dumb
during the lecture
Me: I’m fine ma
Lecturer: No you’re not, you’re one of my
favourite students and I do observe my
favourite students. This is not how you are,
you were always active during lectures but
today is the direct opposite of that or are
you missing her?
Me: Ma?
Lecturer: You know what I’m talking about
Me: It’s just complicated ma
Lecturer: Okay… I respect privacies but
you’re my student and I’m your teacher, you
can talk to me who knows I might be of
help.
**Phone rings: First lady calling**
Me: Excuse me ma, I have to pick this call
Lecturer: No problem, go ahead
*I stepped out of her office before picking
the call*
Me: Good afternoon ma
First lady: Victor how you?
Me: Fine ma, I called in the morning but it
seemed you were busy
First lady: Not really busy, I only stepped
away from my phone for a while to see
Mirabel
Me: She’s back?
First lady: Yes, you haven’t spoken with her
yet?
Me: No I haven’t, I just rounded up today’s
lectures few minutes ago
First lady: Okay… she alre-ady left for her
lodge
Me: Ok ma, I’ll meet her there
First lady: Alright bye for now lemme attend
to something
Me: Ok thanks ma… bye
*Hung up*
She’s back, what do I do now? I could use
some advice right now! I quic-kly stepped
back in to my Lecturer’s office.
Lecturer: You’re done?
Me: Yes ma
Lecturer: So will you say what’s wrong with
you?
Me: **Told her everything**
Lecturer: Hhmmm… first tell me what you
think
Me: I’m not sure ma, just that I haven’t
been having good feeling about the
situation
Lecturer: What feeling have you been
having?
Me: Like we’re going to split up or
something
Lecturer: That’s too negative of you; you
went into such situation because of her, so
you’d rescue her. You think she’d just forget
all of that? She’s just hurt, I un-derstand
what she’s feeling; for a lady to potently
have $ex with a guy is implausible.
Me: But I was firmly tied down on a chair, I
couldn’t do anything
Lecturer: You couldn’t even wave her off
you?
Me: You’re not helping me ma **Standing
up** thanks for trying to help
Lecturer: Sit down Victor
Me: Sorry ma, I have to get going
Lecturer: Sit down, trust me
Me: **Sat down**
Lecturer: Yes I’m trying to be of help and
it’s what I’m doing
Me: But…
Lecturer: **Cuts in** I just put myself on
Mirabel’s shoes, like what she felt about
what you told her. Those are questions you
nee-d to answer, did you even explained in
details to her? How you were defenseless?
Me: No because I was expecting her to feel
even and confess what the guy also did to
her
Lecturer: That’s the drawback; you
carelessly said something like that to her
without explaining in details how you were
defenseless at the time just because of
your curiosity in knowing if the same thing
happened to her. Of course she’ll feel hurt;
you said it to her without remorse on what
the girl did to you.
Me: Yes I did wrong… I was so eager to
know if he really R@p£d her. So what should
I do now?
Lecturer: Nothing much… Mirabel loves you
very much and I’m very sure about it, I’ve
been observing the both of you since I
started lecturing you. What you should do is
to get her attention in a cool and quiet
place, then explain everything to her in
details with apologies and also express how
bad you felt when the girl did that to you.…
nothing more
Me: Only that?
Lecturer: Yeah… your explanation and
apology, there won’t be a plan B
Me: Ok thank you very much, I really
appreciate this
Lecturer: You’re very much welcome
anytime **Smiling**
**I stepped out of her office feeling
motivated and zealous to meet the love of
my life**
Explaining things on my mind, but how do I
get a cool and quiet place? Hhmmm… I
think I alre-ady know where.
THE PRESIDENT DAUGHTER
SEASON ==2== EPISODE ==40
I quic-kly drove off to the house like
someone who’s about to miss his flight. I
got in to the house and started imagining
how to go on with the plan of getting my
love back. I immediately dashed to the
fridge to get something that’d help me calm
my nerves (Hollandia yoghurt). I started
progressing in my thought, my mind bec@m£
composed. So… will Mirabel refuse to come
to me if I should s£nd for her? I don’t think
so, she can’t do that. Now my plan is to go
to the lodge later in the evening with
Nancy, then I’ll s£nd Nancy to go in and call
her out to meet me somewhere. Come to
think of it, I have never given her flowers
before, how unro-mantic I have been gosh!
Ok today will be the day I’ll give her flowers
for the first time. I think I also nee-d to look
good as well, she knows all my clothes so I
nee-d to get something new maybe a white
suit (when you have the money, buying
won’t be the problem *wi-nks*) or………. Why
can’t I just propose to her tonight? After all,
we’ll be graduating in few months’ time.
Whoa… I have never thought about that
before, ohhhhhh… what should I do? What
should I do oh…?? I furiously raced to the
fridge and get myself another yoghurt. After
drinking it, something popped into my mind.
I took my phone and dialed Frank’s number
and he picked up.
Frank: Hello
Me: Hello Frank plea-se I nee-d you and your
wife Jummy to do something for me as a
matter of urgency…
*********
Frank: Ok no problem
Me: Thanks man **hangs up**
I called Vincent, he picked up almost
immediately
Vincent: Hello bro
Me: Hi bro, plea-se I nee-d your help…….
***********
Vincent: Whoa… I got your back on this bro
Me: Thanks man **hangs up**
I also called Promise
Promise: Oga
Me: How far
Promise: Fine oh… this one you call me
Me: Yea… I know you don’t go out at night
but I nee-d you to do something very
important for me
Promise: What is it?
**********
Promise: Are you serious…? Whoa… I won’t
miss it
Me: Thanks… madam Promzy **hangs up**
(Calling Nancy)
Nancy: Hello
Me: Nancy where are you now?
Nancy: In the clas-s about to come home,
anything?
Me: Yea… you will go to Vincent’s house
from there and help in doing something
Nancy: What is it?
Me: Vincent will fill you in, and make sure
you drive safely before you drive anyhow
because of your curiosity to quic-kly know
what’s going on **tea-singly** (Yea she
drives my camry)
Nancy: Haba s£nior bro
Me: I don tell you my own**hangs up**
Hhmmm…. I wish Lola is here to make it
more exciting, she would have been very
useful… I really miss her.
If you guys know how my heart was beating
that moment eh… chai! I quic-kly gr@bb£d my
car keys and accelerated straight to the
bank to do some transfer and also withdrew
a substantial amount of money before
visiting a luxurious boutique. I took my time
to select what I wanted before I finally got
them all and left there to a barbing saloon
to have a nice haircut that is different from
my usual hairstyle before I drove back to
the house. I called everyone for upd@t£s and
they said it’s going on fine that I should go
to the lodge around 7:00.pm and the time is
alre-ady past six.
I hastily had my bath and dressed myself up
with the stuffs I bought, a new fitted white
suit, white pair of shoes, new cologne
different from the one I was using, new
wrist watch and n£¢k chains because I
wasn’t going to wear a n£¢k tie. I just
wanted to look exclusively different before
the eyes of my love Mirabel. I gr@bb£d my
car keys, shut the door and went straight to
my white range rover car feeling myself….
Vames on white! Hailing myself inside my
head Victor! Victor!!
I went towards the gate to open it; I opened
it and saw a lady backing me in front of the
gate… She slowly turned around to face and
also re-moved her eyeglas-ses.
Me: Norah? **surprised**
Norah: Hi Victor
Me: Why are standing out here? Why didn’t
you knock?
Norah: I was just contemplating if I should
knock or not, maybe you wouldn’t want to
see after what I almost did the other day
Me: That’s in the past now, I didn’t even
have it in mind and I suggest you also
forget about it too
Norah: I’m really sorry for coming to you
like that on that condition
Me: It’s Ok Norah
Norah: Forgiven?
Me: Yea
Norah: Thanks… uhmmm… may I come in?
Me: Oh… sorry I was on my going out when
I saw you standing here
Norah: I can see that, thought you could
spare me some seconds
Me: Maybe some other time, I’m alre-ady
late
Norah: You look charming; I almost failed to
recognize you
Me: Thanks Norah but I really nee-d to get
going
Norah: Ok I’ll call you
Me: Alright **Turning to go get the car**
Norah: Wait
Me: **I turned to face her** Yes?
Norah: Do you uhmmm… have a girlfriend?
Me: **Smiling** Yea
Norah: Hhmmm… I wonder who the lucky
girl might be
Me: **Laughs** Lucky girl? Well… you’ve
met her before
Norah: Me? When?
Me: When I was in the hospital
Norah: Huh? Which of the girls?
Me: Mirabel
Norah: The President’s daughter you went
to rescue?
Me: Yup **smiling**
Norah: What?! I mean wow! I didn’t know…
so she’s your girlfriend?
Me: Yea and I’m going to her now
Norah: That means I stand no chance with
you?
Me: Sorry…?
Norah: Uhmm no nothing… never mind.
Me: Ok then, so later on phone?
Norah: Yea sure **turns to leave**
Me: You c@m£ with a ride or something?
Norah: **Turns back**Yea, my car
Me: Alright
I went to get the car and drove it out of the
gate; I stepped down to lock the gate before
I drove straightaway to the lodge. On my
way driving to the lodge, I dunno but
thoughts of Norah took over my mind. I
noticed the way she turned out sad when I
told her about Mirabel being my girlfriend. I
kept on imagining her physique; she looked
great and appealing on mufti and no doubt
that she’s very beautiful and adorable. What
am I thinking? I vibr@ted my head to get
Norah off my mind and focus on meeting
Mirabel. I called Vincent for upd@t£ and he
said everything is in place.
