THE BLUE RIVER
(Destiny Calls)
Episode 15
:
Lora, Ena, Benlo and Sarah giggled along with princess Lucy as they ate the food given to them without minding what it was made from because the volume of their stomach due to hunger was ten centimeters cute. Even Jasper couldn't help it but to smile picking the groundnut one by one into his mouth while the princess stared at him. "I think i like you"
"You like me?" Jasper repeated then looked backward to know whether his friends heard that particular statement. Of course they heard it. The expression could be seen on their amusing faces. He turned to the princess again. "I think i like you too"
They smiled giving room to another tranquility. The princess' body was tempting as Jasper admired it with style. He never thought he would lust over a bush beautiful girl in the stone age, so he said, "From your dressing, it seems like you are from a royal family"
"Yes, the princess precisely"
"I must be a lucky man then"
"If you say so" the princess caressed his shoulder romantically.
"What's your name?"
"Lucy"
"Nice name" Jasper concluded. After he was through, he saw her off and came back to meet his friends who had also finished eating. They all stared at one another.
"I guess i have found myself a wife, a princess for that matter" Jasper broke the silence.
"Could it be that these people are still in the primitive age?" Ena asked.
"Possibly" Benlo replied.
"I guess all this was meant to be" Lora inferred.
"How do we go home now?" Sarah asked.
"We shall leave first thing tomorrow morning" Benlo answered and that was the conclusion.

THE NEXT DAY
As Mr Rain's men prepared in large number to visit the forest again, so as Benlo and co got ready to start their journey back home without stopping on the way. Just as they came out from their local house to meet the king, princess Lucy arrived with breakfast but was disappointed to see them ready to leave. "Where are you going to?" she asked them.
Benlo looked at Jasper. "Tell your girlfriend we are going back to.. to.. wherever they believe we came from"
Jasper cornered Lucy in a hurry. "Listen, princess, we need to go back"
"You mean to the future?"
"There is nothing like future!"
"But we believe you came from the future"
"Thank God you only believe. There is nothing like that!"
"But our gods can't lie"
"You mean your groundnut and Uga? Oh, my goodness!"
Seeing the seriousness on Jasper's face, the princess dropped the food, held his hands and began to shed tears. "Please, don't go back to the future. Don't leave me"
Jasper was touched. He looked at his friends to see them staring at them, so he averted his eyes back to Lucy. "Listen, Lucy," he began with an emotional voice. "I promise to come back here for you. I promise to take you to the future when I'm back, okay?"
"Promise me again that you must come back for me"
"Yes, i promise" Jasper embraced her and gave her a quick kiss which got her surprise coz she had never seen or done that before. Therefore she asked, "What was that?"
"You don't know what it is?" Jasper returned the question.
"Yes"
"It is called a kiss"
"Why did you do it?"
Jasper exhaled heavily with a hand on his head without knowing how to explain the girl's question. He looked at her and said, "You really need to get to the future and i promise to take you there."
The princess gave him a local bracelet. "Remember me with it and come back with it" she said.

Benlo and co stood in the midst of the villagers inside the underground world with the king standing before them too. They were made to understand that the river would lead them to the future if they follow it. Ena's gun was giving back to her and the single gold collected from them was also giving back to them.
"I hope is not only this gold we are going with" Jasper said.
"You mean the uga?" the king asked.
"Wherever you call it"
"It's left for the chosen ones to decide"
Hearing that, Jasper looked at Benlo and Sarah. "What are you both still doing? Pack more golds let's go na!"
They all began to smile even the princess and the king as all watched Sarah and Benlo picked more golds handing them to Jasper who collected them in a hurry persuading them to get more of it.
"Jasper, is enough, let's go" Benlo led the way.
"Are you kidding me? Please, get more!"
Sarah picked more and handed it to him. "I guess is enough now, let's go"
Jasper looked at the princess who was waving at him. "Bye my princess!" he shouted.
"Bye my.. my.. I don't even know your name!" the princess shouted back.
"It's J.J! Jackie Jasper!"
"Bye my J.J, Jackie Jasper!" the princess concluded happily hoping he will come back as promised.

After hours of walking through the blue river, Benlo and co came out at the very spot the camaras were mounted. It seemed familiar to them, so Lora asked, "Isn't this the first place we met?"
"It is" Sarah replied.
"Then let's run coz there are cameras here!" Ena ordered. Just then, two helicopters came from above.
