I sent back my eyes to the stage and the pretty girl was now performing she had an Angelic voice and a very smooth one of course I remembered one day at school when we had a discussion between students on 'who are more intelligent between rich and poor kids?'. and most of them said that rich children were intelligent because they had everything at home, they couldn't think about anything else than their own issues, they get a good quality of food in quality and quantity and available whenever sometimes I was agreeing to this but anyway I was the first in the class most of times I didn't need to get all this to succeed but sometimes when I needed things that I couldn't get I asked God why he didn't make our family a rich one but never mind maybe if I was rich I could have got different parents that these ones of mine who love me so much her performance was over and people clapped their hands and she left the stage but strangely no one was there for her ' did she come all alone? doesn't she have parents? or maybe she lives alone ' no matter what the reason was she didn't look very happy after her performance ' but why? she has everything she needed on her ' other artists passed and the poetry part was over, it was not time for the next part of the evening '' the genius' answers" this was an event in which the participants were sitting around a round waiting for the questions to be asked and once a question was asked the one who knows the answers tap on the table and given the opportunity to answer, if many do it then the first one will answer the question, 3 people will be helpful to lead the game one will be controlling the participants for no fraud and listening to the first one who will tap the table the next person will be counting points according to how they agreed and the last one will be asking questions to the participants this was a very interesting game because everyone was finding themselves in the questions were asked into all the subjects possible ' geography, history,local learning, music, poetry, fashion, health, mathematics, chemistry, science, sports......' the genius is the person who can defend themselves into all these subjects the lights were off and the stage was designed differently on the theme of the genius answers, it looked like a big bright room with a large round table in the middle surrounded by wooden chairs that looked expensive,and in front of each chair names were written down they were names of the players one tall man stood up he was wearing a black suit and blue shirt inside it with black trousers that fit him well and very clear black shoes upon seeing him like that I thought he was the host, then he took the microphone, presented himself as Mr Jeremiah and began calling out the names of players who had applied but surprisingly they were all boys and one of them was missing they were 7boys this made me feel bad 'why only boys?' I love it when women do the things like men I thought I couldn't enjoy it well as there were no girls " ladies and gentlemen these are our players of tonight, but there is a problem one player is missing " he said and " who is volunteering to replace him?" upon hearing these words I felt relieved as if I had drunk a very cold water after a sunny day, but looking around the room no one was ready for volunteering to that place ' is everyone dumb here?' I waited a moment and the room was quiet that no one could raise a hand, I felt like all of them were waiting for me, I felt like if no one went it would be a loss especially for women then I saw the host slowly lift up this microphone and before he could say a word I lifted my hand I didn't know why I did it it was as if my hand lifted itself without my permission suddenly all the eyes turned towards me again and my heard began racing' should I say I'm sorry?' the truth is I was confident but I never did this before it's a new thing for me 'what if I go back without having answered any question? what if it's too difficult for me? I never did this no I better stand up and leave' but before I knew it the host was already near me " what's your name miss" he asked gently. having a pen and paper on his hands willing to write it down I wanted to move Abit and that's when I remembered that I was sitting on dad's lap and discovered that all these people were staring at me not only because I volunteered but because I was seated on the lap of a man who looked like my dad I felt embarrassed what are they thinking? well he is my dad but how can I tell them? oh my gosh what's going on in my mind " Cecilia" my dad said and he wore it down ' why did this girl raise her hand if she was not ready?, too shy to say her name will she be able to answer big questions?' the host thought and " are you ready miss Cecilia?" he asked "yes" I said and before standing up dad landed a kiss on my front and said "good luck, princess you can make it too I trust you" with a big smile on his face I smiled back and nodded to mom who was also all smiles towards me then I left arriving on the stage I took the last place and suddenly a paper was brought and it was written 'Cecilia' on it it was placed in front of me and it started the host gave the rules of the game he said them clearly and then gave the Mike to the jurist who presented himself as Mr luck he was holding some papers into his hands I thought they were the questions, my belly was trembling, and my knees became so weak to the thought that I was in front of a big public willing to do something new that I never did before and again competing with boys who looked older than me and also experienced... words from the author I hope you guys enjoyed this part of the book ???? hope you'll go on and read more i love you ❤️?
