Passing the few blocks slowly from the carnival to Samura's home they sauntered. They could not lift their foot as they had eaten a lot of food since the morning and their journey was not enough to burn their extra calories.
"I can't walk anymore... I'm thirsty and my body... feels like throwing. I think the combination... today we had with... breakfast, lunch, and dessert... don't go well." Samura could not even talk properly.
"I can't think of any reason. Do you remember when we first met how much we had eaten? And at your home when Aunt Sara cooked us how much food we ate back then? What happened to our bodies now? Lora leaned on Samura complaining about the food they ate.
"Can't think of any reason." Samura thought for a while.
"Yeah right." Lora agreed. "I think maybe the reason is our cafeteria food. They have literary no taste. Who would even eat that?" She questioned.
"Yeah, at least their cafeteria foods have some kind of taste. At my first school before our college, they made literary trash food. Maybe trash food is better than that." Samura complained.
"They are killing our taste buds. This is so good that at least they give us once a month for a day out to remind us how food can be tasted. Or else we would have forgotten about tasty food and killed our taste buds by now." Lora added.
"Actually, maybe they aren't that bad I guess. I mean they have a kind of taste that's somehow good." Samura pursed her lips and placed her hands on her waist.
"Yeah, I guess they actually taste good. We... We are just being dramatic. Right?" Lora also pursed her lips.
"Right." Samura chuckled.
"Huh..." Lora exhaled a short breath. "Guess we should hurry now or else we will miss the time." She looked at her wristwatch.
"What's the time now?" Samura glanced at her wristwatch. It was stopped at 3.15.
"Past 5," Lora said. "Does it work?" Lora asked Samura again.
"No. This is my favorite." Samura was about to cry. Lora patted her back.
"Maybe Uncle Ben can fix it for you." Lora was worried about Samura.
"Maybe." Samura sniffed. Lora giggled at her little actions.
"Now, let us hurry to your home little crybaby." Samura giggled when Lora said that. She grabbed Samura's hand and walked two more blocks.
"They have changed the colors," said Lora.
A year ago they had painted their home with pearl white. Now they have changed the color to olive green, which was more beautiful with the white edges and white gate.
their gate was massive and there was not a wall. Instead of the wall, they had a steel fence as high as the gate.
Samura's house was large and well-built. Lora loved the vibe it gave.
"Hello, Mr. Bell." Lora greeted, waving, standing outside the gate to the security who had been there for some years with Samura's family, even before Lora came there. He was well-mannered and had a positive and friendly attitude Lora liked. He was not old but he was not young either. He was like a man in his mid-40s.
"Good evening Lora Missy, Miss Samura." Mr. Bell greeted both of them while opening the gate remotely. Lora smiled widely.
"How are you, Mr. Bell?" Asked Samura.
"I'm very well Miss Samura. How about you two? The college?" He was concerned about them.
"Yeah, we are good. Not many things to say." Replied Samura.
"Yeah, the same things are happening around us isn't it?" Said Lora placing her hands on her waist and clicking her tongue.
"You haven't gained any weight, Lora. Do you eat well?" Even the security is worried about her at Samura's home.
"I'm working out these days that's why I don't gain any weight." Lora laughed, showing off her muscles. "Seriously Bell, have you ever seen me as a fat pig?" Mr. Bell scratched his head. " I was always this size." Lora blew her nose. Mr. Bell laughed.
"We will head inside, Mr. Bell." Samura went inside pushing Lora towards the house. The path to the house was tiled with brown colored, different-shaped stones. They had a massive garden and in the middle of the garden on the path to the house was a fountain which was also built with the same stones as the path tiled off.
On the left side of the garden, there was a white swing and on the right side of the garden, there were benches and chairs around a table. They all were white colored.
Passing the fountain, they walked towards the door, going up the stairs. The door was a double door and one side of the door was opened and the other side was closed.
Lora peaked into the house leaning on the closed side door. Samura stood beside Lora.
The house was like a mansion. It is also beautiful on the inside as well as the outside. Inside was painted with only white. All furniture was olive green and all the edges of the walls were colored olive green.
Samura's father was sitting on the couch while reading his tab but playing the TV with increased volume.
"Can't you just shut off the TV?" Samura's mother shouted across the dining table. Lora and Samura peaked more into to see her. She was preparing the dining table blaming her husband.
"Just decrease the volume then." She shouted again since there was no response from Samura's father. His full attention was on the tab.
Lora and Samura laughed soundlessly. Samura pursed her lips while Lora covered her mouth with both hands.
"Mom, aren't they coming?" Lora's elder brother, Jayden, asked coming down the stairs. He was a well-built man in his 20s. He has gained some muscle than last month when they last saw him. He was wearing shorts and an arm-cut black t-shirt.
There were two staircases to go from the ground floor to the first floor. One was near the wall which had the dining table and the other one was near the wall which had placed their Large 80-inch TV. He was coming down the staircase near the dining table.
In the middle of both staircases, there was a wall connecting the staircases. That was decorated with a geometric painting which was an art piece of Jayden', they bought from an auction.
"Should I go to pick up them?" Jayden asked his mother again, leaning on a chair at the dining table.
"No! Why would you ruin their day out by going to pick them up?" She yelled at him on the way to the kitchen from halfway to the wall and staircase.
"I mean they are late. that's why---" Jayden shuttered his words.
"No!" She cut him boldly. Lora and Samura chuckled again soundlessly looking at Jayden's disappointed face.
"Mmhm..." Someone cleared the throat. "Ahhh..." They both were shocked and screamed as they weren't paying attention to other things. Jayden almost fell on the floor with the chair, he was leaning on. Mr. Ben, who cleared his throat also gasped. He did not expect that girls would scream.
"What happened?" Mrs. Sara came running from the kitchen. Lora and Samura were holding their chests.
"What's wrong with you dad?" Samura was furious. "Why did you do that Uncle Ben" Lora sighed.
"I... I didn't mean to fear you." He could not think of anything as he was also confused. He just cleared his throat. "I just cleared my throat?" He looked at Mrs. Sara, who was coming to them. Jayden was also coming behind her.
"What are you doing here?" Asked Jayden.
"What do you think? Obviously, we came home." Samura replied, entering the house.
"Hi, Jayden!" Lora said to him. "Hi, little girl!" He touched her head. "No I mean what did you do behind the door instead of coming inside?" He asked Samura again.
"We enjoyed some little drama." Said Lora while Samura sat on the couch. Removing her shoes, Samura took her legs up onto the short table.
"I'm tired." Samura groaned.
"Lora." Mrs. Sara hugged her tightly. She felt the warmth of Mrs. Sara's. Mr. Ben patted her head and sat beside Samura. She leaned her head on her father's shoulder. Jayden hugged Lora and Mrs. Sara from behind Lora.
"You are crushing me, Big Brother." Lora groaned catching her breath tiredly.
"You don't love me anymore." Jayden pouted.
"I love you but I don't want to become a pulp by your new muscles," She complained.
"You don't give your mom a hug, little missy?" Mrs. Sara stood in front of Samura, placing her hands on her waist.
"Mom!" Samura stood and gave her a little hug. Mrs. Sara hugged her tightly smiling.
"You look stunning with that frock." She was wearing a vintage milkmaid white mini dress with red roses and a brown leather bondage boot. She had worn a golden mini rose pendant to the gold chain and a Soviet watch with the red ruby-stoned bracelet. She really looked amazing with her outfit and also with her waist-length curled brown hair.
"Should we eat dinner then?" Mrs. Sara asked going toward the dining table. Jayden and Lora went behind her, placing Jayden's arm around Lora's shoulder. Mr. Ben and Samura came behind them, talking about some business.
The dinner was a feast. Lora's and Samura's mouths wide opened when they saw the dining table. They suddenly remembered what had happened to their stomachs. But at the glance which was on the table shining and inviting Lora and Samura to eat them, they sat on the table hurriedly. They could not even wait a few seconds until others sat down.
