6 chapter 6 HE IS COMING

Elena broke down in tears. What was she to do, she cried. "Father, I have to go." Engr. Jeff Mo remained stone-faced."But why, father?" She cried, "Why won't you allow me to go to him, dad? I truly love him and he loves me too. We have a child together. Please, dad."Elenna kept crying and holding onto her father's legs. She cried with great pain but her father, even if he was moved said nothing.

No one understands why they won't allow their daughter's happiness.Granted, she will live abroad but this was modern times.

They could easily see their daughter any time,

These are modern times

...be it via phone calls or video calls... or they can even fly down and vice versa but his answer was still no.

Reaching home, Elenna was locked up in her room for days. Her food was sent up to her and every other thing she needed was there.

A major quarrel happened between her parents. Her mum wanted her to go since they can't convince her to stay but her father refused, saying he would be like a man without a child. He was wondering why the man couldn't come and stay with his daughter here. Does she have to go and join him because of their tradition? Why must sheeven fall in love with a foreign Prince? He can't just allow it.

On one beautiful day, a message came in form of a letter for young miss Elenna and it was from Prince Martin. He was coming to see her since she didn't come.He must resolve these issues for the peace of mind of all involved. He even has the royal bead to give to her.

Elenna changed. Sheasked to go to the spa,see her hair stylist and go shopping. Wow, what a change! With this latest development, of course a breath of new life was breathed into the house hold and her wish was granted.But what changed? everyone asked, but no one knew.

She went about her daily routine before her break down.

Five days before Prince Martin's arrival, she asked for her father's permission. "Please father, he is coming to see you to know how this can be sorted out. Can he, please? Elenna asked.Looking at her pleading expression, Engineer Jeff Mo agreed. 'So when is he coming?' he asked. " In five days time,' she replied. "So father, do we have your permission for his visit?"Elenna asked to be double sure. 'Yes, my beautiful daughter,' Engr Jeff Mo reiterated. Elenna hugged him. "Oh,dad! Thank you so much."She then rushed off to make a call.

"My Prince, are you there?"

'Yes my Queen. He accepted, right?'"Yes!"

'Ah yes, my sweet! Then get ready. I'm seeing you again in five days. I need to look at you and hold you in my hands again. I don't understand how I haven't lost my sanity yet. Love, I missed you so much,' Prince Martin professed to his sweetheart. If one should see Elenna, they willmarvel at how much she blushed and giggled andshyly responded," I love you, my Prince."

'We will talk later tomorrow but see you soon, Prince Martin responded and she dropped the call all red in the face but extremely happy.
