OKORO: (Laughing} Na both of them we go wash, madam.
BIMPE: Be careful, Okoro. Don't crack such expensive jokes before my guest.
(Exit Okoro still laughing)
Lazy goat! He only knows how to crack expensive jokes and fill his belly with food. I better wait until he has swept the room before arranging it.
(Exit Bimpe. Okoro re-enters, sweeps the room, singing as he does. He finishes and calls out to Bimpe.)
OKORO: Madam! I don finish O.
BIMPE: I'm coming. (Enter Bimpe) Ah, it's much better like this.
(She dusted and arranged the furniture.)
Now I can receive a king inside this sitting room.
(Exit Okoro. A knock.)
Enter please.
(Liz and Femi enter.)

BIMPE: Liz, my love!
(They fly into each other 's arms.)
I'm so very happy to see you, my daughter.
LIZ: Me too. I hope we meet you well, Mummy.

LIZ: Don't mind him, Femi dear. Okoro has always been a clown.
FEMI: I don't mind him at all. In fact, I quite agree with him. "Pass me not, O gentle
Saviour” is certainly not a hymn to be sung on one’s knees!
(They all laugh again. Enter Okoro with the drinks, which are poured.)
BIMPE: Thank you, Okoro.
OKORO: Abi me self fit take one bottle from the fridge, madam.

(Exit Okoro, grinning broadly.)
BIMPE: And how was your journey, my dear.
FEMI: It was fine, ma.
BIMPE: Praise God for his protection.
(They sip their drinks in silence for a few minutes.)
My son, Femi, Liz wrote to me saying that you asked her to be your wife.
FEMI: That's true, ma, but everything depends on your approval.
BIMPE: I will not stand in the way of my daughter's happiness, my dear. Whatever pleases her pleases me. As you must surely know, she is the only one I have, and so she is dearer to me than life itself. If she loves and wishes to be married to you, that is alright by me. I beg you in the name of God not to maltreat her. Look after her and be faithful to her. And may God in all his mercies bless your marriage with lots of children. That is all I shall say for now.

LIZ: Let me come and help you with the dishes, Mummy.
BIMPE: Don't bother, my dear. Stay here and keep your fiancé company. Okoro is around to help me.
(Exit Bimpe.)
LIZ: Femi, dear. Mummy approves of you. It can see it in her eyes.
FEM1: I'm glad she does, darling. I too find her a very nice lady.
L1Z: Come. Let me show you round the house. We shall come back to eat later.

RakhtaBhushan (Blood Ornament)
[This book has been contracted elsewhere, which is why I am not updating any more. Please contact me if you want to continue reading the story.] God King Arya defeats Agni Asura Yaman. Two hundred years later, Asura Yaman reincarnates as golden prince, Suryadev, of RakhtaPrastha. Once he comes of age, a darkness begins to lurk in his dreams. Flashbacks from his past life erode his mind, his fate "unforeseen by the gods." As he seeks to heal, his path entwines with Vidyut, his long time rival. Hardened by the cruelties of life, Vidyut embraces the dark art of Tantra, for which he is both rejected and coveted by the people of the five kingdoms. Meanwhile, the kingdom of RakhtaPrastha is facing political turmoil and rival kingdoms, while the animosity between God King Arya and Yaman/Surya's supporter, Goddess Dimuka, is spilling into the human world. Princes, Spells, Gods, Spirits, Heaven, Mythical creatures, Wars, and Reincarnation, and so much more. It is based on Indian mythology, specifically Hindu mythology. But it is an original fantasy and focus is character arcs. It has BL/Gay content. Most Surya-Vidyut interactions are in the chapters marked Surya or Vidyut. The romance in this story is slowburn. **Daily Chapter Release** Cover Art Disclaimer: The cover art is using an image from Pinterest. The art has been kindly created by Ben Arisson.

South of Guadarrama

Among historical figures such as Al-Mansur, and the Sultana Subh or Aurora, using her Latin name, mingle fictional characters interwoven with historical facts, that will make you go through loves, betrayals, emotions, and the dangers of Muslim splendor of time during the Islamic conquest of Hispania in century X.

The Sierra de Guadarrama is a mountain range of Central System (mountain range of the center of the Iberian Peninsula) and was south of this chain of mountains that stood the Muslims domains based in Cordoba. As the Wattpad does not allow automatic inclusion of footnotes, I have informed at the end of each chapter the explanation of a typical ancient expression or personage that can generate doubts. Check the end of each chapter to see if your doubt is explained there.Classified as an adult, according to WattPad rules, because it involves one sex scene, not described in an explicit way, and contains episodes of violence. It does not contain pornography. Cover art by Camila Rodrigues (https://www.wattpad.com/user/CapistaCamila)
