"What happened to my room?" Kimathi kept on asking me since two days now. Yes, finally I got to know that his other name was 'Kimathi' which I think is a sweet name. I am getting to believe that he has nothing running in his head except from this question and of course bullying people. " I've told you severally that I just thought this house needs some make over. Don't you think🤔?" I asked while peeling an orange. "Well, I don't just think! I know it doesn't. What even gives you the right to change my house? Huh, tell me." He snatch the peeled orange from me," I think I need this to calm down."
'Ohh the nerves!'I was just fumming with anger." This house is also mine and I have equal right over it as much as you. You jerk!" Much like he didn't care, he was just enjoying the orange I peeled." Hey! I'm talking to you" I wanted to scream 😱 in his face." Oh my? I didn't know talking to someone could be this loud. Lady, I think you should start checking your tone whenever you speak. "I just knew a house won't be enough to contain us. " From today onwards, I want to make certain things clear to you. My room is not yours. It's fine with me if you think the house is also yours but my room, don't mess things up there. Stay within your limit. Don't cross the line." He said after winking 😉 at me. I felt disgusted 🤢.
Even though I was still angry,I just didn't know where to displace it. I was left lost in deep thoughts in the dinning room. I gave up the orange and also left for my room. He should rather be thankful to me for giving his room a new look. Such an ingrate.
Seems like Manu is only home on weekends and that I think is great. Today is a Friday and he will be here tomorrow. I've decided to make his fav to welcome him back home.Every kid deserve to me loved. He must have had a hard childhood living with that jerk of a father.

'Berry is such an interesting character ' Kim B thought. But his room doesn't look that. It quite suit his taste. Hmmm, maybe he could do with this for now. As he continued admiring the room,he received a call from office.
[ Sir, the dinner. Hope you haven't forgotten. ] Nana Adwoa informed him. " No, of course. I haven't. Help me pick a dress for Berry. No, forget it. I'll see to that." With that he hanged up on his assistant. He made a few calls to Adki lockets. That's where he gets all his clothes. Now, all that was left to do was how to convince Berry to prepare for the event.
While he was devising ways to convince Berry, Lucia on the other hand was having a feast in her room. That was her only last hope to let out her anger. Thanks to lady May, getting all the junks was so easy.
She heard a knock on the door and after came Lady May," Lucia dear, what do you think about going to a dinner party 😝 " " A dinner party tonight?" LadyMay nodded. "Mmmm,not bad. But I don't think I'm fit for that." I realised. Not with how full I am. I'm very satisfied, I don't even think I can walk much more go out to a dinner party. " I think I'll past for that. I'm not in the right position and state." I concluded. Come to think of it,why would LadyMay ask that particular question of all questions. Something is not right here." Did that jerk of a boss send you here to ask in his place " LadyMay gave me a smile but I knew it was forced, " You see,dear. As his wife, I thought it wise that you accompany him to that dinner. His old lady is the host and I'm sure the family will like to see you, right my child" Ohh,not that smile again. I was literally screaming in my head. "Wait, how come nobody told me he had a grandma 👵. Why am I now hearing this?"I asked no-one in particular. I'm really not good with old people. Not like I don't like them but I really don't know what to say to them. Like we are generations apart so what can I basically talk to them about." The old lady is not that difficult to please. I'm sure she will like you as her grand daughter " As if LadyMay could read my thoughts. She touched my forehead. Seems like I had a frown on since I was thinking of how to survive the night." Can't I stay behind. I'm pretty sure you are friends with the old lady. You can put in words for me, like, I'm unwell or something so I stay behind. " I gave her my sweetest smile." So let's say I talk to her, what about him." "Who is him" I asked her." Your husband, dear. Or you have already forgotten you have a husband here." I just wanted to laugh it off but knowing LadyMay, she will not let me be without an answer." Well, I'll see about that." With lot of talk, I managed to convince her to let me handle that jerk.
I went to Mathi's room to leave the order he made and also to let him know that I will not be going for the dinner party. The door was widely opened when I got there so I walked in. He was busy putting on his ties with no care in the world. " I brought what you ordered." He just pointed to his bed so I dropped it there. "And I'm not going to the party." I was shocked at the speed he use in turning. That was so fast." You don't mean it",he shrug, "Anyway, it was organised for you so as the main girl I don't think anyone will miss your absence. " He opened the box and handed it back to me saying, " Change into those whenever you have a second thought 💭. Or you can explain yourself to your father- in- law afterwards. Isn't it that simple?" At this point, I knew there was no point trying to talk to him. He was not going be of any help to me, why did I ever think he could be. "Fine, I'll go only if you help me whenever I find it hard to speak to the guest " I actually needed him at that. At last, we had something we all agreed 🤝 on.
