Sunday ...W1
Lyton got up early that morning with her bag and bid everyone good bye. The house driver drove her to the bus stop where she was supposed to meet her friends she was going with for the trip.
***
After two days
Tuesday...W1
Traveller's Hotel Kisoro Town...
Lyton was lying on the bed while she talked on her phone.
" Lucas...You won't believe it this place is very nice. The weather is cool and the people here are very nice. " She jazzed.
" I feel , You are enjoying. " Lucas replied.
" Just know the trip to Mahavura Mountains was the best. I felt like I was in heaven. "
" Then you stay there. " Lucas answered.
" Fuck You !, It's supper time. I am hanging up. " She said
" Okay. " Lucas answered and ended the call.
Lyton sighed and got off the bed. She left the room and was now walking along the corridor when a kid ran past her and bumped into a girl who was coming from the other side. The kid didn't say a word but continued running.
" Geez ! " The girl who had just been knocked cursed and knelt to pick her book that had just fallen down.
Lyton walked to the girl and looked down at the book to see some sketches of dresses that looked like gowns.
The girl picked the book and got up to see Lyton. She had a very beautiful face with pure white large eyes, a small sharp nose,full and firm cheeks, a strong jawline, proportional ears and full pink lips. Her natural hair was plaited in cornrows.
" Heloo.." She said.
" Hi.." Lyton replied and smiled.
The girl smiled and decided to walk away when Lyton stopped her saying. " Wait...May I have a look at that ? " She asked.
" It's just a book. " The girl answered.
" I saw the designs and they have impressed me. I just want to see. "
The young girl gave Lyton the book and she started opening it.
" Wow.." She couldn't believe what she was seeing.
She glared at the girl again. " Did you make these youself? " She asked.
"... I am...I just make them when I am bored. But it's nothing big. " The girl spoke.
" This is not nothing. You are talented. " She said.
" Huh.."
" Look, We have a Company in Kampala City that can hire you as a designer. " Lyton said.
" Kampala, But I have never been there before.."
" Oh.., But I can help you. What is your name ? " Lyton asked.
" Mia.." The girl answered.
" Nice name. I am Lyton. Give me your phone number so that I can call you when i am there. " Lyton requested pulling out her smart phone.
" 077500055" Mia said out.
" Good, I will call you anytime. " Lyton said but Mia was still perplexed.
" I am being late for supper. I will leave. " Lyton said and proceeded on her way .
Mia stood there confused. Were her designs really nice ?
Mia was just a cleaner at Traveller's Hotel. She had just made 22 years and was very young. She grew up with her grandmother after her mother abandoned her at only two years. Her mother ran away after the death of Mia's father . She feared the responsibility of raising Mia alone and decided to escape after leaving Mia with her mother.
It was a actually strange that Mia was very beautiful besides all the hardships she went through in her life. She dropped out of school in form two because her grandmother who only depended on farming could nolonger raise her school fees.
However, They had a neighbour of theirs who was a seamstress and because of this Mia always watched her making designs for the clothes. She got that passion and begun drawing some designs in a book just from her head. She never knew that this would ever give her any opportunity in her life.
She was on her way back home and she left the hotel slowly. Her home was just near the Hotel so she just footed there. It was around 8pm and therefore dark outside so she switched on her button phone's torch and walked slowly.

At the same time, Lucas entered a bar where there was booming music and some people were dancing while others drunk in their seats. Lucas saw someone he knew from a distance and walked over to him.He was standing near the front bar.
" Sup Mark.." He said as he sat besides him. He also looked of the same age but he was lighter and smaller than Lucas. He was as well handsome .
" Long time man, Welcome back. " He said to Lucas.
" James Whiskey please.." Lucas said to the bar tender who quickly delivered it.
He poured one glass and toasted with Mark.
" How was America ? " Mark asked.
" It's a World of It's own. It was vibes on vibes everyday. " Lucas answered.
" Hmmm, I wonder how you feel coming back to poor Uganda. " Mark said with sarcasm.
" Home is always home man. I am glad I came back. The four years I've been away were really a long period. "
" I've never been there Never know I would also understand that home is the best. "
" Let's drink.." Lucas said and they gulped down again.
As they were like that, A young beautiful lady came walking towards them. She had a long hair and wore a black short tight dress. She was very brown.
Mark saw her first and looked at Lucas. " Look who is coming! " He said and Lucas raised his head to see her.
" Brandy..." He said in a murmur.
The girl reached there and smirked crossing her arms before her chest.
Lucas was seated and he looked up at her.
" Brandy...long time. " He said to her with a crooked smile.
" I want a hug ! " Brandy spoke with a serious face.
Lucas giggled and said. " Okay.." He stood up and walked to her. He then opened his arms and said.
" Here.." Brandy's gloomy face turned into a smile and she hugged him wrapping her hands around his neck.
" I missed you. " She said in ectasty.
