Moving on was hard, i couldn't imagine it but i had to and it wasn't easy. For days on, i kept calling her number which was always off. The days that followed were the saddest in my life, nothing interests me anymore, my siblings would come to the hospital everyday they were free, they would fuss all over me and that lit me up each time. Little princess was my most priced asset at that point in time, the innocence in her face, her eyes and the funny way she asked her questions kept me cheered up.

Janet had snuggled herself back into my life, i was too sad to notice. She was sweet throughout the period i was bedridden. She had been sorry for what she did and had asked me to put myself in her shoes, what would i have done to get Ada back, i would have swam a thousand oceans, walked a million miles and climbed a hundred mountains for her but apparently, i couldn't even go to my village to see her because one of my legs was useless for the time being. However, i did see things from her own point of view, when you love someone, you just love them and no matter what, you would always want to be with them. I needed company and Janet provided it. We got back to studying together, she kept me busy but Ada was always on my mind and i became moody each time the thought of her crossed my mind.
I soon became able to make use of my legs again which was a big relief. The long stay indoors had added some fats on me, even though i looked cute, i needed to burn it. Janet would take me out for walks in the evening, we would walk hand in hand around our streets, Janet loved me and i needed nobody to tell me.
Everyone had his responsibility in taking care of me, my mother's was making sure i took my drugs regularly which was a bit of a job cause i hated drugs, who doesn't?. My father took it upon himself to rid me off the fears i had developed with driving after that accident, i think he too needed to be rid off it himself and so he just used me as an excuse. My sisters didn't enjoy their own job much but they had no choice, they cleaned my room and did my laundry. Princess, my little princess, there was never a moment of rest with her, disturbing me was her Responsibility and she was never found wanting.
Coming back to school helped bring me back to my former self though not fully. A big part of me was still missing and that was Ada.

Janet had improved, she wasn't the cocky Janet everyone once knew. The new her looked more attractive. I decided to just stick around with her, she had tried her best and i thought she had earned me. Life had moved on as it used to be before the emergence of Ada into my life.

We traveled to the village once in a year and that was the Christmas period, that was the only chance we get to meet our relatives and know people we were supposed to know. But this year was going to be different. My father was required to come home for the visit of our state Governor to our village. He was the the Junior brother to our King so i wouldn't call it a visit. He was also coming to perform some marriage rites with a girl of the village and my father had to be there as an important personality. My father had decided to allow me go with him as his first son, he said i needed to know more of my distant relatives. That was cool but it was also none of my business, i was only going there in quest for my long lost love.
