FLASHBACK
The day Cindy and Angelina were coming back from school and going home only to met Mrs Anderson who c@m£ to pick Cindy
On their way to the hostel that day………
“I can’t just believe what you’re saying” Cindy snapped and paced forward
“okay, if you say so” Angelina replied as she scrambled up to her but Cindy st©pped immediately she got to her side and faced her
“are you sure of what you are saying Angelina?” she asked confused
“of course, I can’t lie to you”
“so, does that mean I’m in danger?” Cindy asked again
“I guessed so” Angelina replied and Cindy shivered, obviously in fear
“so, what should we do now Angelina? I can’t get into trouble or get caught in a tra-p if this is true” Cindy said nervously
“you know what Cindy? Don’t fear, I’ve got a plan” Angelina replied and smiled
“what’s the plan?”Cindy asked and Angelina spun her head round to check if no one might be near them or eavesdropping, she then whispered into Cindy’s ear
“what!” Cindy eyes wi-de-ned “are you sure that’s going to work?” she asked and Angelina nodded
“just give me a call or s£nd me text whenever you are together, you can also do that beforehand if you know you’re going to be together, in that way I’ll join you guys silently and unnoticeably, then I’ll be able to call for help if the nee-d arises”
Cindy gulped down and face Angelina with smile on her face, “you’re really a good friend”
……………………………………..
“hmm” Charles sighed after listening to the whole story “kudos to you guys for suspecting and working everything up beforehand and I’ll say a big thank you to you Angelina, you’re indeed a friend”
Angelina chuckled “it’s nothing Charles although you’re welcome”
“special thank you and big appreciation from your small sister” Cindy replied and hvgged her
“it’s my plea-sure baby” Angelina replied as they embr@ce each other while Charles smiled as he stared at them
TWO YEARS LATER………….
Charles and Cindy are both walking down in the street, Charles was putting on a black overcoat with a black trou-ser and black woolen muffler round his n£¢k while Cindy was wearing a pink mini go-wn with a black skin socks and red jumper with a pink muffler round her n£¢k, her arm is all healed by now.
“it’s so cool tonight, isn’t it?” Charles asked and as Cindy was about to answer his question, her stomach rumbled showing that she’d been hungry and had been concealing it since
“what’s that?” he faced her and asked
“Huh, nothing, just…… ”
“just what?, don’t tell me you’ve been hungry since”
“Tsh!” she remarked and twirled her hair with her f!nger
“okay, let’s go for dinner ” he held her hand and drew her along
AT THE RESTAURANT…………
“Bienvenue Monsieur Charles(Welcome Mr Charles)” a waitress greeted as they sat down in the restaurant
“Bonsoir Mademoiselle Kate, Comment tu vais?” (Good evening, Miss Kate, how are you?) Charles greeted back in French and Cindy was surprised to hear him speak that way, she’d never see or hear him speaking in French before
“je vais bien et vous ?” (I’m fine and you?)
“Oui, je vais bien, Merci” (yes, I’m fine, thank you) he replied and the waitress extended the book menu to him which he collected and started at for some moments
“comme d’habitude ?” (as usual?) the waitress asked
“No,le cas-soulet” (rich meat and beans cas-serole) he replied and returned the Book menu back to her which she collected and left to bring the food
“and what was that?” Cindy asked after
“oh, you mean the food? I’m sorry I didn’t ask if you’d like it, it’s rich meat and beans cas-serole, hope you’re good with it’
“it’s not bad but I’m talking about your language”
“oh! That’s French” Charles chuckled “didn’t you un-derstand it?” Charles asked and she was about to answer when the waitress arrived with the foods and set it for them
“of course I do but not all” she later replied
“Bon appetite” (enjoy your food) the waitress said before leaving
“so, let’s talk about something else” Charles started after eating “I heard from Mum that you’ll be leaving soon”
“yeah, I’m so happy I did everything and graduated successfully and my parents have been calling me to come home since then, so I think I have no choice than to go”
“hmm” Charles nodded but didn’t reply while Cindy continued in b!tt!g herl-ip, they stayed like that for a moment before Cindy finally broke the silence
“I’m sorry Charles and I will miss you”
“this is not about missing for some moments but forever Cindy, think about it. I know you have no choice but my father have moved his business from Nigeria and he said he want me to take over now and must remain in this country.” he paused and gazed into her eyes “I can’t afford to loose you again Cindy”
“I’m sorry Charles, I nee-d to go” she replied and stared off…………..
