As the team climbed up the hill, neared the house, music could be heard, vibrating loudly, coloured balloons hanging all over the party space, the table was laid with food trays' all looking so tasty, and there were some people arriving first, sitting with their drinks some with hot stuff some were holding beers; the Birthday girl was sitting in a chair, and before her was a table with her birthday cake, she looked dazzling in her dress which had shiny stars, againt her violet dress, and as her father, and their guest's of five beautiful young ladies entered, and their two escort's entered the party area, the admiring eye's of the men, could not be concealed, as every one turmed their gaze to the new arrival's and murmur's rose, as if the men were choosing who they want as a dancing partner; then Mrs Fair's, walking across to the group stopped and talked with her hisband, Mr.Fair's then walked up to her daughter at the front table, and made a speech, "hello ladies and gentle men, we shall now begin the party by moving, closer while Moira, can you please come and light the cake candles? and we will sing "happy birthday to you" Moira lit the candle's and everybody sang the birthday song, and as the song ended, three cheer's were given, and. Hellen blew out her candle. Then Mr Fair's announced "thank you everyone for coming, and now party is on help yourself, to whatever you want, feel free and make tonight a happy evening, thank you once again for attending the birthday of my daughter.
All the while Maera has been looking around trying to find someone. Then she saw him, he was standing with two men but his eye's were fixed on her: and realising she had been staring at him turned to look away but he had raised his beer in a cheer motion.
Moira was standing deep in conversation with a man and all the other girls were standing separately as if found partner's,
Then as if feeling embarrased that she was the only one with no one to talk to." Maera, I want you to meet my husband's" nephew, she was leading Tamon to her, "Hello again my dear," said Tamon stretching his hand to shake hands with Maera, and Mrs. Fair; said' "have you two met?" and Maera said "yes".at the Ramonds."
Oh well then " I'll leave you two." saying this, she left them, "can I have this dance?"Tamon asked, "oh not yet I want to sit down".So she walked to an empty table with chair and sat; then Tamon, left and came back with a chair, and sat opposite her.
"Have you come to a decision?" "will we ever be in a relationship?" Maera shook her head, "no I haven't made a decision yet, and for now I just wanna enjoy this party". Tamon reached into his pocket, "oh I forgot I bought a gift for you while I was in Japan:, and he took out a small red box, a silver hand watch, the face of the watch was green and glittered with tiny emeralds, as its numbers. "After that night with you, I was sent to Japan for the companies power generator engine part's and all I could think of was you, so I wanted to give you something as a token of my love please accept my gift", and added, "I wont take it back I am giving it to you with all my heart;" "dear". Standing up he said, "I think I'll go and get a drink'and how about you? will I get anything for you?" "yes a beer please". As Tamon walked away to get the drink's, Maera looked around, the party space, saw her sister, and her friends, they were all enjoying their time; then a hand touched her shoulder's, "my beautiful Angel, why are you all by yourself? oh I'm so sorry, I have been busy with my business associate, and all the time I was looking at you and tried all I could to get this friend off my back but only managed when one of your new arrived friend's came pass and I introduced them together said her name was Flora", "oh" Maera laughed and as Spencer asked her whether she would like anything to drink, but Maera said' Mrs Fair brought her nephew in law to accompany me and he was just going to get them some drink's so thank you anyway, but what about you? Maera asked turning to him" her heart beating against her chest as if trying to get out, She was also afraid she might lose her control and act foolishly; why must I be like this? when its Spencer; "hey come on Maera, dont give me those look's you're tempting me to kiss you here on the spot. If I was to have my own way I would," Maera realising that she has been staring so deeply into his eyes, quickly turned away, face burning as if looking into a heated oven. Just then, Tamon arrived back with the drinks, "are you alright?" asking directly to Maera' or "is he harrasing you?" flicking his head in the direction of Spencer, "heyhey Tamon' is this an accusation?" Tamon now turned to Spencer, and Spencer stood his grounds ",you must steer away from Maera, he flared at Spencer, Spencer was just relaxed and eyeing him straight in the eye's, say's "oh but she is single and a free lady yet my man" no she's mine and dont you forget that.
Maera gasped out loudly, what? I can't believe you just said that'! oh so all along you think you own me hah? she lifted Tamon's face with her left hands and slapped him with her right hands, here take that and take your gift back, to think you can buy me with this? she put the box on the table, a scene was caused, an audience was gathered and Moira was standing closer to Spencer listening, not even lifting a finger, she was proud her sister could protect herself from being made a fool of; Maera's stingy slap brought star's in Tamon's visional sight, then being slightly drunk, lost control, he lunged at Maera but Spencer had caught him in time and held him in a tight lock grip.
His uncle Mr.Fair's was so furious with his nephew, that he took him out of Spencer's grip, and led him into the house, scolding him. Moira was shaking hands with Spencer thanking him, with all her heart and forgiveness for not trusting him, and all along he has been supporting and protecting Maera.
Maera too was so happy that her sister who had been showing disapproval against Spencer, has, but now; it seems, is happy with Spencer and when my beloved sister is happy, I am happy too, Maera thought and feeling as if she was jumping to another level of happiness.So happy. The party went on as if nothing had happened, the dance space was crowded and many were starting to sit in pair's.
Spencer laughed as Maera did some dance step's and told him to follow it but he said oh I'm not good in dancing but I'm good in singing. do you wanna hear a song? it was a favorite song of mine, but it has a surprising history this song. If you hear it you will know what it means, oh and when can I hear this song? umm let's see tomorrow? okay yes but you wont be busy? No I will alway's be free for you says Spencer mockingly.
And "who is the artist of this song?" " Myself my dear Angel," said Spencer," it was only last year that this boy called Brenton came to stay with my cousin for a while, but then he heard my band playing the lyrics I composed and asked if I could create a song for him. So I did, and first I had to question so I would havr the idea of how to compose the song; it was like interviewing someone to give him a job or something like that, but what I learnt from him was this girl's name was Maera, she is in the expartriates high school, grade 8, and she is from the city of Fasidore,originated from the Marakian island's, "no that is all about me".Well I made this song last year and I didnt know that I was actually creating it for me.
"Oh my God," added Maera, "such a remarkable coincidence". "Yes when you first arrived I kept asking my self; is this the girl of Brenton's song? If yes then maybe it was good that she did not accept Brenton, cos then I wont get to know her". Maera said "wow and bent over to kiss him, they kissed for a long moment then she broke it up saying, I have to go now Spencer, it's getting so late".
"Okay," Spencer went back to the table and watched Maera talking with the girls starting to walk back to the Ramonds. After saying the goodnights and waving they headed home.arriving home, the girls sat at the dinning table and some sober some drunk. Flora then said " let's make plans for tomorrow girls; yeah added the other's let:s plan; tomorrow we shall go fishing, Diane " said" oh no I dont know how to fish, say's Flora, Betty said" no we should go out on an adventure, yeah the girl's all chorused together, Moira said I would like to go visit the island's out there and see the villages. Okay then thats set Ill say we go at 1:30 pm cos we need to get a good rest, before going. Okay bedtime ladies Moira was a bit older so she takes the responsibility to take considerable care for them. As everyone fell into the clutch of sleep, Maera, still lay eyes closed but her mind, was drawing a plan for the morning. Yes I will do the morning chores in the house, then I will ask Flora to follow me to the shop and we would go hiring bikes of the shop to move faster.
