CHAPTER 5
? ISAAC ?
I walked down the street, feeling so happy about the new foot wear I just got. It suit well with the trou-ser I wore.
My stomach began to grumble again and I nee-ded to eat. I sighed remembering Diana. If she was here she would have gotten me something to eat.
But I nee-d to get used to the fact that we see when we see and nothing more.
I saw some couples coming, they had snacks in their hands and my attention was fast drawn to them. If only they could give me p@rt of the snacks, then I will be totally fine.
They got close and I approached them trying to catch their attention.
“Good afternoon.” I said and to my surprise, the wife smiled at me.
“Hi son. How are you?” She asked in a caring way.
” Fine but hungry.” I said and she smiled stretching the snacks To me.
“Here have this. Eat and be happy.” She said and I smiled.
” You act like my friend.” I said smiling.
” What’s his or her name?” She asked while the man just stared at us.
“Diana.” I said and she furrowed her brows.
” Diana?” She asked and I nodded.
“Yes. The pizza girl. Do you know her?” I asked and she smiled.
“She is my neice. I am the owner of the pizza shop.” She said and my eyes wi-dened.
” Really? I am seeing you for the very first time. Now I know Diana took after your kindness.” I said and she smiled.
” I am happy to help.” She said.
“Thank you. And greet her for me. Tell her Isaac is s-ending his greetings.” I said and she nodded.
” I will do just that.” She said looking at the man with her who just smiled back.
“Bye.” They bade walking away. I stood right there and I began to consume the snacks.
I was still eating and enjoying myself when I felt a car speed up to where I was. I quic-kly moved away so i won’t be hit.
The car came to halt abruptly splashing mud on me.
I shut my eyes in anger but right now I can do nothing. I looked down and I saw my shoe was stained with mud alre-ady.
Now if Diana sees it she won’t like it.
The door opened and I saw a young guy come out. He looks young, I mean very young. Maybe we are age mates or he should be older with just a year or two.
And he owns a car alre-ady? Wow that is amazing.
“What the hell is a street child doing in front of my gate?” He asked smriking as he looked at me from head to toe.
I looked back to confirm what he was saying and then I saw it was true. There was a very hu-ge mansion behind me and I was right in front of it’s gates.
“Oh am sorry about that.” I said and wanted to move away when he stopped me.
“You think sorry would solve the problem you just caused?” He asked and I furrowed my eyes in confusion
“What problem?” I asked.
“You standing with your filthy b©dy in front of my gate is the biggest problem. I hate streets children.” He said and I got pissed.
” Why not try calming down. You having all these today doesn’t mean I won’t have. The children on the streets are just like you. You should be thankful your life isn’t like one of us.
None of us wanted to be this way. Fate did this, so stop blabbing okay?” I barked in anger catching him unaware.
“Wow. So you are raising your voice at me?” He asked and I scoffed.
” I don’t care who the hell you are, or who you think you are. The least you can do is to splash mud water on me which you alre-ady did. And the highest you can do is kill me which I am always prepared for every pa-ssing day.” I said before walking away from his pres-ence.
Enough of them looking down on us. We didn’t wish for this life, we didn’t want to be on the streets.
So we should be taken care of and loved. I actually can’t blame people, I blame fate for taking us to this cruel p@rt of life.
I kept walking with tears rolling down my eyes constantly. I want all this to change. I am tired of been trashed by every one.
I got to a p@rt of the street which has a public tap. I took a look at my messed clothes and shoes and signed.
I turned the tap and I saw it had water in it.
I re-moved my shoe and then picked up my alre-ady stained shirt and poured some water on it so I began to clean the shoe.
I also used the shirt to clean off the mud on my trou-sers. After everything, I picked the shirt I just washed and wore it.
Thank God I washed it. I would have been stranded now.
The painful p@rt is that I planned to wear that shirt for three days. Now it’s ruined because he is an a*shole.

? DIANA ?
“Mission accomplished.” I said to myself happily after packing Isaac’s stuffs into a bag. I felt happy more than I ever have.
I felt so fufiled. I kept the bag in my closet ma-king sure nothing would go wrong with it before Thursday.
I headed out of the house again to the shop. I promised mom to come back as soon as possible.
I sat on my scooter and rode off to the shop,having a very wi-de smile on my face.
After approximately 7 minutes, I got to the shop and I packed my scooter where it has always been.
I walked inside the shop to find out mother was gone. Now that’s preferable. I don’t want anyone changing my mood.
“Diana.” Mom called happily.
“Mom. I am so sorry I arrived late.” I said and she smiled.
” It’s very fine. I didn’t really stay in shop too.” She said and I narrowed my gaze.
” Where were you?” I asked and she laughed.
” John dropped by.” She said blu-shing slightly.
” Omg. I knew you would get along well. I don’t mind having him as my father.” I said and she scoffed walking back to the kitchen.
“Don’t be decieved Diana. He is yet to know I an barren, and once he does know, he would leave just like the others.” She said in a very sad tone.
” No. I feel John is different. And how sure are you that he doesn’t know about that.” I said and she sighed.
“We can’t be so sure. And I am not putting my mind on it okay?” She said and I smiled.
“I un-derstand you Mom. So how was it? Tell me about it. You look damn happy.” I said ma-king her giggle.
“Can we talk about that at home? You still have three more places to deliver pizza.” She said and I rolled my eyes.
“That’s true. I almost forgot. Make sure you don’t change your mind after we have gotten home okay? I want every detail.” I said and she smiled.
“Check the list.” She said and I walked to the wall to check the today’s delivery list.
“I am done with the first, now the second, third and fourth.” I mumbled and she nodded
“Twenty boxes each?” I asked and she nodded.
“Right. 20 boxes each.” She replied while I checked the address.
“Woah. This fourth shop is kinda far, and I can’t take sixty at once. And time has gone and….” I said and she cut me off.
“Go straight to the point.” She said ma-king me smile.
“Mom could you help me with the ones close by? plea-se?” I asked and she laughed.
“There is no problem about that okay? I have been doing that before I got you.” She said brushing my hair with her hand.
“Thanks Mom. I would quic-kly go the one five streets away.
Wow that’s very far. But thank God for my scooter. It’s really going a long way.” I said as I began to pack the pizzas out to arrange them on the scooter.
I did all in haste because I knew it was running late and going to a place that far at night, where you know nob©dy is kinda dangerous.
I walked in to carry the last piece when Mom pa-ssed a sweater to me.
“Here. It’s cold.” She said and I nodded.
“Yes that’s true.” I thought wearing it before packing the rest to the scooter. I tied it, and when I was satisfied. I hit the road.
With full speed I ran past many shops, houses, motel, clubhouses, without even stopping. I pa-ssed the first and second streets in great speed.
And I was about entering the third when I saw a cat run carelessly across the road, ma-king me move my direction abruptly.
I was so caught unaware, that before I could calculate, I met myself on the floor with my scooter on top of me.
“Sh*t.” I mumbled in pains. I managed to raise it up and then I saw pizzas were very fine. That’s relieving.
I felt some sore pain on my hand and I saw it peeled alre-ady. And it was kinda hurting real bad.
I ignored the blood at dropped from it and sat on scooter re-ady to move again. I didn’t even think of slowing down because it was dark alre-ady.
I just don’t want any troubles this night.
Luckily, I got to the restaurant without any more accidents. I saw they were alre-ady packing off, re-ady to go home.
“By this time?” I thought looking at the wristwatch around my wrist. It’s just 8:48.
“Ma’am. Pizza delivery.” I said and the woman nodded opening up the shop for me. I packed all into the restaurant and brou-ght out a book for her to sign.
“Thank you.” She said and I smiled.
“You are welcome. Enjoy our overwhelming pizzas.” I said ma-king her laugh. I sat on my scooter and headed straight home.
I got to where the streets lights were brighter and then I saw someone laying on the chair close to the road.
I slowed down and looking at the person well to see it was Isaac. He was so shivering as he sle-pt and I could see could in his breathing un-der the lights.
I parked my scooter silently so as not to wake him up. I walked up to him where he sat and squ-atted before him.
He looked damn handsome un-der the lights. Tears gathered in my eyes as I saw how cold he was.
I held his hand and gosh he was damn cold. He opened his eyes and when he saw me he smiled ma-king me smile too.
“Diana what are you doing here?” He asked and I sighed.
“Came to deliver pizza here.” I said and he nodded.
“Am sorry you are meeting me this way. I am so tired.” He said and I nodded trying not to bur-st into tears in his pres-ence.
“Here, have this.” I said removing my jacket and giving it to him.
“No I can’t take that. You would be cold and the breeze when you are on that scooter would be more than you imagine.” He said pushing back to jacket.
“Isaac take this from me.” I mumbled in tears.
“Are you okay? Why are you crying?” He asked raising up my head to meet his.
“Let’s leave here. Follow me home. I will make hot water.” I said holding him by the hand and standing up.
