Son Of Upper City.After Juma left from the parking lot near Candy’s apartment, he drove into the street towards the highway that would be leading him to his home. As an afterthought, he swerved to a certain bus stop and parked for a little while to give him an opportunity to look into the story of the clothes Stella had worn.The steering wheel was steered as the car drove to the left side of the road and he parked the car without any disturbance.He turned to look at the brown leather jacket that was sitting on the front passenger seat next to him with all seriousness. He reached for the brown leather G4 jacket and started scanning it as if his eyes could really take him back into the production hour of the jacket. This jacket was not simple as its tailoring seemed to follow all the criteria that is needed for a designer cloth.The leather part of the jacket with the G4 brand on the top right shoulder and the bigger insignia of the brand at the back. The G was a ro
No Problem!The bus driver’s expression sank. It was true what Juma was saying but he was known to be someone who gets what he wants so how could he just yield so easily?“Young man, it seems that you ain’t going to give me face like I gave you face. Right?” The bus driver asked in a hardened voice clearly not masking the anger and hatred he had for Juma now.These wealthy kids thought that they owned the city. But he had been in the transport business for so long that he even had his goons and cronies under him to do his dirty work.If not for the fact that this place was a public place and still in the city center, with all the cameras in place, he could have gotten into his bus and knocked this ignorant fool of the wealthy family out of his way and even taken the car engine and other parts. This hummer was still new, probably not one month old!Thinking of this, the bus driver’s eyes shone brightly and for the slip of a second he had forgotten he was arguing w
Bridge Ways Mixed.Juma knew that Ali’s religion would want him to rush home so he did not hesitate on agreeing to him for the short notice request of leave. Then again, Ali’s leave was supposed to be on this weekend so it was not bad to allow him to head for his sister’s funeral.Then again, Juma was not going to be heartless enough as to only give him the funeral leave because of the upcoming one.“Do not worry, I will ask for your transportation to be arranged and your leave this weekend is still available,” Juma added as an afterthought reassuringly.“Thank you sir Namu, but…that won’t be necessary. I have to work for the days I’ll be gone,” Ali said quickly, not wanting to use Juma’s kindness for his benefit even though he knew the degree of his kindness.Juma looked at Ali who was standing three steps from him and revealed a broad smile as he spoke, “I said it should not worry you. We can manage. If not, we will have to disturb the hotels these few days.Juma felt Ali’s anxiousn
If I can get home.Stephany did not bother to explain or clear the misunderstanding and let Candy rattle about the reason they were together admiring Juma's coat.She rested on the sofa and let herself be immersed into her own thoughts. Candy on the other side, still staring at the coat, wondered if the sun had risen on the West.At that thought, Candy turned to Stephany and just when she was about to say something to her, her phone beeped.'Gosh! My data was still on?" She asked no one in particular as she took her phone to check on the notification."Someone else has also joined on the trend," Candy said as she brought her phone to Stephany, "Check this out,"Stephany raised a brow with an inquisitive expression written all over her face. But, in utter disappointment, scrunched them later as soon as she watched the Tik Tok video. She blinked in confusion, fluttering her natural long lashes."What is wrong with people nowadays that everything is sent t
Wild ThoughtsThe familiar villa and the steel automatic gate appeared in Stephany’s sight as soon as she alighted the cab. It was a pay and board taxi so after alighting, the driver drove off immediately as Stephany walked into the compound.The compound was so quite and she felt uneasy. All the way here she felt a little anxious but now she could feel that something had happened and she was going to find out about it sooner or later.‘Didn’t Cain come home?’ Stephany asked herself in her mind.‘Where’s Chef Ali?’Another question popped up. Ali was like the caretaker of this villa. Every time they came back from home, or anybody was sent home, he would open the door once the gate was opened.It was so strange that he wasn’t by the door now. Every step she took, her heart seemed to stop a little. Stephany stood by the parlor and breathed in and out.“What is wrong with me?” She mumbled the question to herself. Something like this had never happened to he
Your Heart is beating fast.When Stephany heard the name that Juma spoke out, she froze and couldn’t move from her bending position for a long time.It was the name of the high school that they shared. It was a long time since she spoke of that school.…In his dream, Juma was now certain that where he was at, was the name of the school he had wanted to know. From the fragments of his memory, especially the ones which always come to his dream, he had seen this school but with the girl called Stephany. Right now, he was sure that he had fallen for Stella, his personal assistant.If he could see this Stephany girl clearly, it would be best because it will be helpful to him in searching for her and clearing that tug he could feel always when he dreamed about her. Then at that time, he would tell Stella the truth and ask her to marry him for real this time.But, unexpectedly, he wasn't going to see her as the dream faded. He felt his conceous gather and the next
Ali Is Not Home.Juma closed his eyes to release his emotions that had been hard to control in the last three minutes.He tightened his grip around her and pressed her head on his chest. If she could feel what he was feeling, it would be great if she could also understand them.He did not expect her to accept now, but at least, she would give him a chance. A chance to show her that truly he had fallen for her.And also, Stella could allow him to be part of her world and become someone more than just her boss or fake husband at that matter.He could feel her chest on his, slightly poking him. But they were soft and drove him crazy.But to his surprise, her reply was rather quick and surprising. Her heart that was beating erratically for shock now seemed to follow the rythm of his and filled with emotions.Only that he could feel like they were a longing hidden deep. Her breathing had quickened.He was startled by Stella's need. He even thought she was
Only One Gaze.When Stephany heard the nonchalant tone in Juma’s voice, she rolled her eyes and started up the stairs. If he was not going to bother telling her where Ali was, then she was not going to remain here anymore.But, Juma had no plan of letting her escape as he walked hurriedly to her with an amused smirk on his face. He couldn’t thank the house slippers and the soft mat enough for muffling his steps.He reached out for her with his muscular arm and pulled her to him from the stairs. She lost her footing and landed on his sturdy chest leaning on it with her back. He hugged him from the back after successfully achieving his goal of bringing her back to him.His arms tied around her belly like he was hugging his pregnant wife.Since he was only a few centimeters taller than her, he slightly lowered his head resting it on her right shoulder and said with a coaxing tone.“It’s not bad to be shy with me, so why are you running off?” His warm breath assaulted her right ear sendin
