I was playing badminton with Kev infront of our house when my uncle william came.
Austine I need to speak with you.
he said in a serious tone.
I was astonished then. As I walked inside the house, my mind kept thinking what's this something we need to talk.
I called nanny Marie so Kev would play with her the badminton.
While we were inside the house.
Uncle william looked at me.
Well, ah ah I just want to ask you a favor Austine. my uncle said.
what's it? I asked.
mmhmm.. Let's just say you will give to my friend the I made for him.
I remembered that you saw me lastime in the school, right?
Yeah. I answered.
Tommorow you have a class. All you have to do Austine is to give the food to my friend and collect the money.
you know what Austine. I am a food seller. The food is imported, it came from other country the supplier supply it to me then I will distribute it to earn money. I just wonder if you could help me selling.
No problem Uncle. I will.
Thank you very much Austine.
After the conversation with my uncle I went back to see Kev.
Infront of the house Kev and nanny Marie were playing.
Nanny Marie called me and told me to continue playing because she has something to do inside. She's also going to prepare for juice and snacks.
It's around 4pm as I looked at my watch. I felt tired so I called give and told him that we'll be continuing it next.
We stepped inside and notice some biscuits and juice on the table.
Kev and I sat on the couch and started to take the biscuits and drunk the juices.
*
I woke up and felt the warmth sun strucking my face. I looked at my wrist and noticed that it's around seven o'clock in the morning. I didn't insist myself to return in my sleep because I only have one hour left to prepare myself for today classes.
I headed to the bathroom. Few minutes ago I came out and walked towards the cabinet to find the uniform nanny Marie prepared for me. There, I saw a comb and fixed my hair looking at the mirror placed in the right door of the cabinet.
I walked towards the living room and there I saw nanny Marie busy preparing for my food for today classes.
Suddenly, Uncle William came. he sat on the couch and looked at me.
So you are going to school today? Uncle asked.
Yeah I replied, dealing with all my thoughts in my mind.
Here is your allowance. Uncle handing me money.
I looked at it for a few seconds
Dont be shy my nephew. Take it. He insisted.
I grabbed the money and thanked him.
Anyway, before anything else I'd like you to give this package to my customer. All you have to do is to give it to him and dont leave without collecting the money. Collect the payment first for this imported product before you leaving.
Understand me Austine. He asked..
Yeah I will Uncle.
Good. And one thing Austine never open the package because if you try to open it and the seal went broke. The customer will refuse and they will not accept it. So take care of it. And just keep it inside your bag. You will only take it outside if you are dealing with the customer.
Is that clear Austine.
Okay, Uncle.
The doorbell abrupty rang inside our house. nanny went to check it. As she came back, she informed me that the bus is already waiting outside.
I hurried up. And tell nanny to look after my brother Kev.
Tell him that I'll be home after several hours. I said to nanny.
Take care Austine. Uncle said stood up from the couch.
Yeah Uncle. I will. bye bye. I said.
I went my way to the bus waiting for me outside the house.
I waved bye bye to nanny before getting the bus. I sat in the rightmost seat of the bus to see the view outside.
I'd really like seing the views outside while the bus keep on moving.
Several trees and some abandoned houses beside the road. Some plantations that the farmers taking care of.
I remembered when I was about 8 years old. The houses were not yet abandoned and many people living in our town, but because the government owned the land and seems to have plans for the land. The houses were demolished and promised the residents that they would give them houses where they could relocate. But I dont have any informations now where those people living.
As the bus arrived in front of our classroom I decided not to enter inside it because I need to do something first. The instruction of my uncle.
So I went my way to the back of our school area. There I saw long grasses planting on the unoccupied sides of the school. This area is very silent opposite of the front area of our school.
I looked around and saw a tall, dark man standing aside as if he's waiting for something.
He walked closer towards me, Austine .He said.
Yeah. I replied
Where's the goods? he asked.
Goods, What goods I replied.
That something your uncle asked you to give me. he said.
Ah the importanted food. I replied.
The man grinned and saying Yeahh that's it.
I took the imported food outside my bag and gave it to him.
But before I give this to you I must collect the payment first. I informed the man.
He shrugged and gave me the envelope.
The envelope was something very thick as I held it.
I put the envelop inside my bag after I gave the package to the man.
As our negotiation was over. I went my way back to the school.
I was not late as I entered in my room, My teacher just came to start her classes. Again our first subject English. Not bad.
As the english class was over, our teacher in science entered. The sit beside me was vacant because my classmate is absent. I called Kian to sit beside me since today is the presentation of our projects.
Kian brought the projects we prepared last time.
Okay class today is the presentation of your projects in my subject you have to present it infront. You have to choose between your partner who will present your presentation infront. I will tell you later the criteria for grading your task. Our teacher informed us.
I'm really good at speaking in front of public but I want to try my best speaking infront, therefore I told Kian that I will present our finished project.
He nod.
As our group was called infront by my teacher. I stood up and brought our project infront and presented it. I tried my best to have the best explanation for this project. And it all went so well because Kian and I prepared for it.
My classmates and my teacher clapped after I discussed infront our output.
Okay class tommorow you will know who gain highes grades for this project. I will anounce it. Our teacher informed us.
As the class was dismissed. Kian and I went together outside to find our service. Fortunately the bus came so early. I waved bye to Kian.
See you tommorow Kian, I said.
See you too. he replied.
I got into the bus and find the place where I felt comfortable. Sitting beside the window bus.
I relaxed myself and felt so tired for today classes. Few minutes ago the bus driver started the engine. And moved the car.
I got off the bus as we reached our home. There, I clicked our doorbell and nanny Marie open the gate.
Your little bit earlier today. Nanny said.
The bus just came early. It's just something good because I feel tired. I said.
As I entered the house I saw Uncle william sitting on the couch and taking a zip from his coffee.
Nanny Marie, can you get my shoes from the top. It's black. It is just outside the second door of the room.
Uncle william commanded.
Okay sir nanny marie replied.
Where's the payment for the package?
Uncle william asked me.
Here it is Uncle. I took the envelope outside my bag and gave it to Uncle.
Very good. Nephew.
ohh. anyway, there will be another distribution to customer tommorow.
Okay Uncle. I got it.
