CROSS ROADS. by kangwa Mambwe

Birthday 2

I only have few minutes to complete everything.

I thought ....

I made two groups of the Handley men.

I gave them instructions and how I want it to look like.

30 minutes later it was all done ,

It was simple and classic .

I told someone to call jimmy to come check out if there is any need of change.

He took longer than I expected.

I never had a phone to call my brother and I wasn't sure if he knew the place.

I asked for the time, it's was 18 :10....

why is the program ????

Before I finished my sentence ....

He answered.

The last person I wanted to see for the day.

Is it your business??? he answered.

No...

so why are asking

Nothing sir.

I excused myself to avoid this Crazy person.

The place was very big I never even knew my way out,I was just praying I meet jimmy on the way.

I looked around , to see how I will help myself I even missed my phone.

At a distance , I saw a boy playing .

I called him.

Hey!!!

hello....

he looked where I was and smiled.

yes Auntie...

Hey ... how are you.... he asked.

Am fine sweetheart..

Nice...how can I help you. he said very excited

Well ... thanks.

Am lost am new here...do know any wash room near by I want to change my dress.

ooh I will help , because you are pretty.

I laughed after hearing his words.

Am Patrick ...he said.

ooh sorry love ..am Nelly.

Oooh okay can I call you pretty Nelly.

No problem son...I smiled.

Patrick but what are doing here , where is your mum???

Mum mum!!!!! mmmmm

yes ,where is she ??

I don't know pretty Nelly.

Then why are you here alone and how come know this place so well.

I came with Uncle...

Where is he ??

He said he will be back to dress me up.

okay then .

We are here pretty Nelly....my room.

your room???

yes

And your uncle ...???

Next door.

You can change then you help me too.

Okay Patrick thanks.

The room was so big and beautiful. I went in the wash room cleaned myself some makeup and changed my clothes.

A black dress just like my body

small and a little tight with a love shape open on the back.

My hair was tied up ,so I just untied it and the hair was all over my shoulders.

I made a little style

some hair was on my face .. but not the all face at least I could see clear and the other on my back to cover the open dress .

I had Gold colored heels with a black Percy.

The moment ,I came out of the wash home ... little Patrick was shocked.

Pretty Nelly....I knew you are beautiful... he shouted and run to me.

I laughed.... ooh little one.

okay now ... let's make you handsome.

I want to look like uncle... he said.

ooh okay ..yes sir.

where are your clothes...

there !!! he pointed on the couch.

I dressed him up , made his hair and his shoes where shiny. he was also in black.

Thanks Pretty Nelly.

You welcome .

And thanks for your room.

ooh sorry I forgot this is uncle's room I just remembered.

okay wow...am sure is on his way..

I have to go now.

Sorry Pretty Nelly...I just forgot my room because they all look the same you know.

okay Patrick let me go now.

I walked towards the door, I opened the door and I bumped into Patrick and Jimmy.

sorry I didn't know that I'm sorry so please sorry.

I took two steps backward to make way for the two. I turned to look away then I trapped and almost fall .

I closed my eyes and a second later I felt arm around me .

Eyes closed.

I started debating in my mind is this the floor or something else...

I was scared to open my eyes ...

Is it Jimmy

or Patrick???

GOD please not Patrick not Patrick.

I opened my eyes slowly ....

my eyes slowly and my eyes mate blue Ocean eyes so beautiful love in every circle of it and charming.

They looked innocent like they were in the search of something something just something I couldn't understand I felt like I was in a different world . The eyes were just saying something that I couldn't understand in my language I tried figuring out what's happening is it true is it real because it was so amazing.

Then boom it's clicked in my head oh God this is Patrick I jump out his of hands and quickly fell on the bed.

To my surprise Jimmy was sitting with little Patrick on the couch .

Suddenly my ankle started hurting I tried to move my leg but I couldn't.

Patrick ran where I was

He saw a bit discomfort on my face and removed my heels

He then massaged my feet for 20 minutes and the room was so quiet.

It was like Jimmy and little Patrick we're watching a movie .

I felt a little bit better I tried on my heels again because I just wanted to put on my heels I tried 5 steps and I was okay.

Thank you sir.... said in a low voice.

I'm going now I guess my brother is waiting for me.

Jimmy.. I looked at him.

I called.he answered.

I'm sure he will be here by now.

Thanks Jimmy .... I replied with a smile.

Bye now little Patrick.

Wait wait .. he shouted running to me

careful... Patrick said.

I didn't introduce you pretty Nelly... little Patrick said making baby faces.

Okay okay..I smiled looking at him.

This is my uncle Patrick I am named after him. he said happily

Uncle ...

she's very beautiful right.

Yes she is. replied the uncle.

I went on to meet Nick.

Just go straight... shouted Jimmy.

Thanks Jimmy enjoy.
