Who is the girl

Zander jacked from the bed in fear.

"Oh, it was just a dream" he said lying back to sleep and slept off again.

"Zander I have something important to tell you". Anna said few hours after Zander might have slept off, tapping him to wake up.

"Oh grandma, I want to sleep more please, I didn't sleep a wink last night".

he said still trying to cover himself.

"Zander I'm being serious here, will you get up from there? it's already sunrise and you are still on bed". she said dragging away the blanket and drew him up.

"Okay grandma am awake, what is it you want to tell me?" he asked rubbing his eyes and yawning at the same time.

"Oh I see you are really hungry, okay then I will tell you after breakfast, go wash your mouth and feed the the horses while I prefer our breakfast".

she said to him as he stood from the bed.

"Okay grandma, I will be right back".

he said going to the bathroom.

"What a child". she said looking at him run to the bathroom room.

"Zander!" Anna called after their breakfast.

"I'm coming grandma". he said dropping what he was doing, he came and sat beside her as she asked him to.

"Yes grandma, you called for me". he asked looking kneely at her his grandma.

"I don't think there is a problem for now, but I think there will be one in the future".

"What do you mean grandma?" Zander asked not understanding a thing she said.

"What was I thinking, this is not the right time to tell him the truth, no I can't make this mistake". Anna thought still not answering Zander's question.

"Grandma, are you okay?, I have been talking to you but you have been quite".

Zander asked looking at his grandma kneely, not sure what she was thinking.

"Yes dear, it's just that I have been thinking on how we gonna survive here".

"What do you mean grandma?" he asked looking at his grandma confused.

"Okay I wanted to tell you my plans for our living". she said still keeping him in suspense.

"What's going on grandma, are we being attacked or something?" Zander asked nervous and worried.

"No my dear it's nothing as such, calm down I will tell you all that you need to know". Anna said tapping his back slowly.

"I want us to start Hybridization son, so we can start going to market and doing so many things like every other person around here". she stated drastically.

"but grandma what do you mean by hybridization?" he asked expecting an answer.

"oh sorry dear, I meant flower breading".

she said looking at Zander to know what his expression would be like. Zander was enlightened on hearing that from his grandma, because he initially wanted to tell his grandma about it but was not sure if should would love the idea that's why he never spoke of it.

"wow grandma the idea is superb, I love the idea, I initially wanted to tell you but wasn't sure what your reaction would be".

"You could have just told me, silly boy come over here" she said drawing him into an embrace. Anna was really happy that he loved the idea and had no objections to it, she rubbed his hair gently with a smile.

One morning, Zander went to the stable to feed his horses as usual, but on reaching there the horses told him that they have already been fed by a girl a while ago, they went further telling him that her name is Isabelle. Zander was indeed upset with them because he did not want anyone to share the affection of his friends (his horses) with, he angrily left them without uttering a word. The horses knew they have really hurt their young master Zander. They started blaming themselves for the incident.

"Are you actually blaming me for this incident, weren't you the one that the girl is so sweet and lovely that we shouldn't refuse it". Daisy blamed Opus angry.

" So what if I did? why join me with it? I never forced you to or did I?" Opus asked her in defense to his action.

"you are blaming me as if I am the only one at fault it's our mistake so cut the crab". daisy replied furiously.

"hey daisy..."

"C'mon guys, you two are acting like foals, grow up, there is no how dragging this matter is going to change a thing so, stop it". Wendy interrupted Opus's words.

Isabelle on her own part was urged by her parents to follow them to the city that morning. she really wants to meet the young master of those horses she met when she was coming back from her friends house, though she didn't know that what she met was a talking horse, she was imagining on riding one of them. she felt bad when her parents told her about it, she couldn't control herself until they drove off. Zander was 2 year older than Isabelle. That night, Zander didn't sleep still wondering who the Isabelle of a girl could be. "who is this girl?" he thought to himself unable to digest the incident before sleeping off.

The next morning, Anna told him to help her with some stuff which she was to take to the stable, Zander understood what his grandma was up to because she never asks for help anything especially not when it comes to attending to the horses.

Zander smiled and went ahead of her carrying those things he collected from his grandma. Reaching there the horses were really happy seeing him again, he played round the stable with his horses, his grandma came to the stable, standing at a position but can't help it but laugh out loud because of what Zander and the horses were doing.

Later that day, Zander was told by his grandma to go and freshen up so they could start what they have discussed about earlier.

"Okay grandma I will go and freshen up but on one condition.

"What's your condition Zander?" Anna asked laughing at his dirty body.

"Oh grandma you are laughing at me, am not going to bath then". he said folding him arms and turning to the other side.

"No matter how dirty you might look, it can't stop you from being my handsome prince". she said sprightly making him sit.

"So what is your condition?or should I say what are your conditions?". she said sprightly once again knowing that his conditions are always many when he has one.

"Okay grandma these are my condition, first of all, I will be riding on Opus in every message for delivery and secondly, I will take part in the flower breading". he said joyfully looking up to know his grandma's reply and expression.

"Okay dear it's a deal then, whatever you say, but can you go take your bath now".

she said smiling at him as he goes to take his bath. Zander ran back after entering the house.

"Grandma please I forgot something".

he said smiling at her.

"What is it now dear?" she asked knowing he was going to add another condition to the already listed once.

"uhmm... grandma it's just that I forgot to complete my conditions".

"Okay go ahead dear, as long as I can fulfill it". she said smiling.

"This is my final condition, you are going to read me bed stories about legendaries just like mom and dad used to before they passed out". remembering that last part hurt him a lot and grandma too but Anna pretended not to be touched by it knowing that Zander was already hurt by his own words.

"Okay son, anything you asked from me that I can do for you, then I will surely do it as long as you agree to go wash up" .

Zander hugged his grandma, she also hugged him back not minding that his body was really dirty.

"Okay go ahead, I will follow your lead". she said smiling down at Zander who nodded in agreement and left happily.
