A Bride For The Dumji Prince - Episode 1
Kaiya a girl of seventeen, cuts the grass in her father's compound. Her friend of the same age, Razim a young boy walks in.
Razim: You are so good with the cutlass, that one wonders why the ALMIGHTY made you a girl.
Kaiya: Razim
(They hit hands twice as the warriors do in greeting)
Razim: Let me get another cutlass, so we'all finish this quickly. I have good news to share (he goes into the hut and comes out with a cutlass . They cut the grass in few minutes).
Kaiya: So what's the good news? What happened?
Razim: You are such a woman, as curious as the cat
Kaiya: (frowns)Don't call me a woman.
Razim: Looking like a boy two summers younger than me does not make you a man (he packs the grass).
Kaiya: Don't forget we were birthed the same day.
Razim: I am an hour older, but as my mother said you are slow in growing.
Kaiya: Really! With my height. You are not even taller than me.
Razim: I know, you have your father's height.
Kaiya: (smiles) Sometimes I wish I were a man. Then my father wouldn't hesitate to take me to the wrestling contest. I wish....
Razim: You are more of a woman than I thought. Don't frown, if you work fast

. I would share my news with you, it will make your day.
(They finished clearing the grass and set it on fire. They watch the fire blaze)
Kaiya: What's the good news?
Razim: My elder brother has agreed to take me to the wrestling match in preparation for my first battle, next summer.
Kaiya: I'm so happy for you, (she sighs) how I wish....
Razim: He also agreed to take you.
(She shouts, but he covers her mouth)
It's meant to be a secret. Unmarried women are not allowed, remember.
Kaiya: How did you convince him?
Razim: He owes me a favor.
Kaiya: You will lend me your clothes.
Razim: I know I have to for your disguise.
Kaiya: You know you are my best friend, right?
Razim: (he rolls his eyes) Right. I have to leave, my father and brothers would have left for the farm.
Kaiya: Let me escort you.
As they made to leave KAIYA's father, Quarak walked through the bamboo gate.
Read " Single and 30 " by the same author ( Queen )
. He carries his palm wine gourd and rope. Razim collects the gourd, while Kaiya carried the rope.
Qurak: Razim, the son of the man who not only ploughs the earth but kills four foes with a spear.
Razim: Yari Baba ( I greet you father), what I am I to say to the warrior whose arrow never misses.
Kaiya: Baba, the palm wine is much today.
Qurak: The ALMIGHTY himself tapped it. Where is your mother? Did she not hear my voice?
Kai ya: She is in the barn
Razim: Father, I leave now, my regards to mother.
Qurak: Take this to your father, my good friend. He deserves to be the first to taste my wine.
Razim: Thank you. I am sure he will appreciate it.
(He exits with Kaiya in tow)
Zayar: My husband, you are welcome. How was your day?
Qurak: It was a good day. Razim is becoming a man, I might have to warn him off my daughter.
Zayar: She hasn't seen her first blood yet so do not fear
Qurak: One doesn't speak such matters.
Zayar: I'm worried, she is of age to marry. But, what sort of man will marry a lady who looks like a small boy with long hair?
Qurak: A wise man, who has good tastes. (He seats on his favorite brozen chair).
Zayar: A woman who hasn't started seeing her monthly visitor can't conceive
Qurak: It's just taking time, not something unheard of.
Zayar: (with doubt) I hope. Should I bring in your food?
Qurak: Do. My stomach has started singing.
(Lights out).
