10: The honour

The next morning, the village council come to the house. They ask Mable if she is ready to be coronated or if she has something to say," my child you have won the competition, so tell us if you are now ready to be village head or if you have something to say, please tell us"

Mable gets up from her seat, greets everyone and answers the council," I want to say thank you for the opportunity, I won fair and square however, I would like to replace myself with someone else. I'm still schooling, I'll take my position when am ready so in the meantime I want my father to be the the village head. "

When everyone hears Mable's decision they are left in shock. Riswan especially is left speechless, he goes on his knees and his head put on Mable's feet,shedding tears,"why are you doing this, I don't deserve this opportunity, I underestimated you, I treated you like trash but today, you proved me wrong by giving me this honour. Please forgive me am so sorry. "

Mable helps Riswan up and looks him in the eyes,"I told you that I would make you bow at my feet, I told you I would make you acknowledge me and here you are father. But all that doesn't matter, am just happy that you have finally accepted me as your daughter and that's what matters, I love you father, I love you so much." Mable cries and hugs her father who hugs her back.

The head of the council then makes his decision, " alright, it has been decided, Riswan will be coronated as the village head until his daughter is ready to take over.

Two days later, Riswan is coronated as the village head. Could this be a happy ending for Riswan and his family?
