My Treasure Vita

YOU KNOW THE DRILL

'Kwame, Kwame' called Glory 'son please sit and we have breakfast, two days now and you don't eat breakfast, please' ' mummy Julie gets my breakfast these days, so don't worry at all' he said calmly, then Hasani spoke up 'Kwame man what's that compared to home food, sit down' .Now Kwame was loosing it, 'I said I will eat at work, thank you' with that he was out the door where Saleh was already waiting for him. Glory was left in a daze, later that afternoon, she was forced to call the office inquiring from Julie how Kwame was at the office. 'Lady Glory, Mr.Marcel..well he looks fine to me' said Julie 'Julie are sure' ' lady you know him and being blank with expressions, and his just... your right something is wrong' 'see..but why.. poor baby' 'he is rather tame'. Glory thanked Julie and hang up, she had to ask the private investigator his findings because she had a theory of this being about the girl" . From the investigator's information Glory released there might be no girl, because from the meetings, office, hang outs Kwame would go straight home, but Glory was still unsettled, 'Kwame, son at least talk to me' she thought to herself, whenever things were down on her especially with Kwame or Hasani, Glory sought advice from Clear and Berna. They met in the garden and she laid down the details to them. Meanwhile Lilly,Vita and Maria were in the kitchen as Amara helped out. Amare kept chatting with Vita as she cooked. Vita told them all about her home and the kitchen was just vibrant. It was about noon when Lilly went to finish up with the laundry, Maria wanted to weed the garden near the front gate, Amare went to his room to pick his laptop to show Vita his project and Amara had gone. Vita was all alone in the kitchen with only the sound of the utensils suddenly someone across the working table cleared there voice, she turned to see and it was Kwame, Vita laughed to herself she knew this was a dream, 'What seems to be the joke here' she smiled and turned to the chopping board to finish the vegetables, 'what are you doing at home at this time' 'am sorry but where should I be then' 'at work beastie' 'who', it suddenly hit her, she turned and it was Hasani the whole time.Vita cleared her eyes 'Sir Hasani, oh..I thought you... am sorry' 'Vita, you seem to be too busy day dreaming about who.. well let it go and its just Hasani ok' 'yes sir I mean, Hasani... oh am really sorry' 'you seem to thinking about my brother, right' 'what of all people...why would you...' 'my brother Amare, Vita wow, cause you and him are friends' 'yes, sir Amare, him' 'ok Vita I won't waste much of your time but how about I help you' 'no sir...Hasani, don't worry..' 'I am not asking' he picked an apron and begun helping with the chopping.The two became very acquainted that afternoon, evening came the family was in the western yard having a camp fire.Kwame came back early that day because he too had to attend, the house was empty as the rest had retired to there rooms except Vita.She sat in the kitchen with Amare's laptop finishing up her research. 'Why are you here alone' that very deep yet familiar voice asked 'beastie' she sighed then turned to face him 'beastie your back so soon today... and you're talking to me' they looked at each other for bits when Kwame replied 'am not like you Vita, I don't enjoy..' he stopped himself and turned to leave, she got up quickly and stood infront of him 'move from my way' clenching his teeth.'Have read my letters' she asked, he seemed to calm down thinking 'you wrote the...and where did you put them' his voice was now very calm 'today, in your room...explaining everything' he looked at her and got closer, the furtherest her height took her was to near his shoulders 'explaining everything' 'yes' she said softly 'I will be the judge of that' 'beastie, I know the drill' his grin got wider when he haerd her say this. He walked away slowly she watched him move through the corridor to his room. Kwame hadly wasted time he looked through his room and saw them, four letters by his bed.He picked them up an thinking 'you have same nerve Vita Nakato making me wait this long you finally gave in, you need me too you know' he put them on his pillow, 'I will take my time young lady, not now' he was now gaining better moods, with the smile on his face not falling once he took a shower,changed and joined his family. Glory was surprised, for two days this boy was so down and now this,everyone was in disbelief as well.'Good evening family, mummy, the snacks look amazing' he got some and began eating 'so what were you all saying' , they were all surprised but Amare continued with his talk leading to an evening worth of a family. One by one they left for the fire was dying out,Kwame and Hassan had remained with Glory, no matter how much Glory pushed on the topic of relationships the men wouldn't budge, they kept pretending making a fool of Glory .' Fine, I give up you, but one day I...' she said nothing more and left to the house.'How's Star' Hasani asked 'finally man, I thought you would never ask, she misses you' Kwame said to Hasani who was now shying off. 'And you and her aren't you..' Hasani asked faintly 'we've never and never will man I... have been clear with where she and I stand' 'I saw the pictures of your homecoming she..' ' and I were told to do so but man.... she asks alot about..why you stopped talking ith her', Hasani was now having a grin on him and shook his head 'Kwame why do think I came back man, I want Star and I to fix us..I need her, hope she still needs me' 'then on Saturday, she will be here to welcome you..' 'what, a homecoming.. fine' 'yes as I was saying that can be a start of you too reconciling' 'your so good at relationship advise' 'I have my ways' Hasani looked deeply at Kwame as he picked a glass of wine to take 'am going to break you' Hasani thought 'what of you and Vita' Kwame chocked on his drink sending Hasani into the darkest laughter 'Kwame easy on the drinking' Hasani said laughing even harder. 'What the.. what do you mean...me and a.. Vita.. style up, not fine' he got up from his chair to leave but Hasani pulled him back down. 'Kwame, had we had the same mother you and I would be twins' at this they both fell a bit silent but Hasani continued 'bro I know you and I would support you and V...' 'shut up, I feel nothing for her it was just a..stage I got over it... besides the status quo wouldn't support..' ' see how confused you are, you're over it but you still think of what others would think, Kwame your behaviour towards Vita for the last two days was a gave away for me, go for her she nice,educated and mom likes her,screw the status quo,we have made so many mistakes in the past all because we were afraid of what society demamded from us, look at me and Star, Kwame, take your time but Vita is left with one year here' .Kwame was now completely immersed into his chair and Hasani reached out to him tapping his back, telling to think about it .Kwame was left alone that night battling with his thoughts feeling the gentle breeze, he closed his eyes momentarily and opened them say softly 'love, I will find out'.
