An Answer to my quest

"Look at you, you are doing it again! Speaking at the same time!" he said.

"Look my friend you starting to sound crazy." I said.

"Oh! Look at the time, am already late for my last lecturer, I have to go." she said.

"Me too" I said. "Am sorry that I kept you out of class it wasn't my intention."

"Mon… you ought to apologize to me too." Trevor said.

"Why should I?" I asked.

"Because Mon! I was watching at you guys not to do something nasty." Trevor is so Shameless and his shamelessness startles me sometimes.

"You did what TREEV…"

"So that I could… um… tell you that, you've skipped class, yes that's what I was doing." He said.

"Oh is that so?" I asked curiously.

"Yeah… Mon." he bragged.

"Guys sorry but I have to go, it was lovely chatting to you Joe!" she said.

"Yeah it was lovely and I enjoyed it too." I watched her walk away from us, as she walked away, I jumped and hugged Trevor.

"(Homme que Vous étes le meilleur) Man… you are the best!" expressed my gratitude hugging him so tight. "if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have had this chat with her."

"Yeah, Yeah I am the best, I'm the man." he swaggered. We both laughed and teased each other.

"Ha… Ha… Ha…" I laughed and remembered. "Mon I forgot to give her the picture I've drawn of her!"

"But am sure she hasn't gone too far," he said. "Look there she is…" he pointed.

"Stay here I'll be right back, let me rush to her." I tore the funny picture and hurried to her.

"Hey don't forget to give her your address; I didn't give it to her yesterday." Trevor shouted. Just when I reached her, I told her to wait as I wrote down my address.

"I'm always home," I held my breath "Come around my house any time." I kept on looking her black and white eyes, they are so clean and pure, like those of a new born baby, eyes that haven't seen or experienced any sorrows.

"Ok! Cool I'll see you later then." she said. Without looking at her picture. When she realized the art in her hands. Her face shone bright. I couldn't stop myself from gazing her.

"Wh-when did you sketch this?" She couldn't believe her eye's.

"When i asked you about the seconds in a minute, that's when I drew you"

Girls can sense or see if a guy is into them but they'll try and deny it and be honest about it when time goes on as you've decided to tell her how you feel. Later that day in the afternoon at around 16h00 she did come around my house, unfortunately I wasn't around, but my younger brother Musa was there, prepared to do his assignment that I have assigned him to do. Doorbell rang, ding dong. He went to check who was at the door.

"Oh my God!" he staggered.

"Um… Hi… but am sure this is the right address, um… is it the Radebe resident?" Lindy enquired.

"My apologies… I'm sorry… just that… I got struck by your beauty." he was stuttering "Gosh where are my manners? Please come in!" he invited her in.

"My name is Musa but I prefer to be called Moos." he introduced himself.

"And I'm…"

"…Lindiwe but prefers Lindy am I right?" he said.

"So I presume this is the Radebe resident I suppose." she said.

"Yes it is, may you please come in." he showed her to the lounge.

"You guys have a lovely home, it's really beautiful." She respected.

"And you are also beautiful! My brother J.R was right! God did take his time when he molded you." he admired.

"Wow!" she smiled. "Thank you, so um… when you are saying 'J.R' you are referring to Joe right?" she enquired.

"Yeah I call him J.R, I abbreviated his first and last name." he said.

"So where is he now? Cause he told me to come over." She explained.

"His not around at the moment but he did asked me to come home early for a lovely lady will come by." He too explained.

"Oh is that so?" she asked.

"Yes my lady." he said.

"OK!" she replied.

"Cool, so what would the lovely guest like to drink this afternoon?" he enquired.

"A glass of water will be fine thanks." she said.

"Ok my lady a glass of water coming right up." knowing my brother, he would never bring a lady just a glass of water only. He brought out the folding table with wheels, he out done himself, dressed the folding table very well with all sorts of delicate foods that would melt a women's heart, he also dressed up like a waiter, can you believe it? Some people do know how to do their assignments, but in a very funny way though.

"Oh… Oh… why are you dressed like that?" she asked. "And I asked for water not for all this." she was so impressed.

"I know my lady, but the woman of this house has taught us that, when a stranger or relative comes by your house don't just offer that particular person a glass of water or juice alone, it must be accompanied by something that will humble the stomach." he said whilst caressing his stomach.

"Wow your mom…she's…"

"… She's what?" he asked.

"She's so kind and she taught you very well." she complimented.

"Yep my mom is a wonderful woman." he smiled. "She also said, 'you must make sure that you feed that person, cause you don't know where that person is coming from, whether he or she has eaten or hasn't' her words" he smiled. "So please my lady, indulge yourself." he stood up.

"Seriously though, your mom is a remarkable woman." as she reached for a cookie.

The reason she did not found me at home, was that I had to rush to my dad's office, I needed him to enlighten me with his story, I needed to know, I needed to understand, I wanted to know how he stood his ground, how he won moms heart, how does she keep the fire burning. I have a lot of questions that needed to be answered.

"Excuse me Miss Pretty! Is Mr. Radebe in, in his office?"

"Yes... I mean No! His um… his in the board room." she stated.

"Ok thanks, I'll wait for him." I suggested.

"Who are you?" she asked.

"I'm uh… I'm his brother's son." I lied. This woman does not recognize me at all. Why then should I explain my self, come tomorrow she'll ask me the same question.

"Oh" she said. "It is best for you to wait there." I waited at the reception, waiting to see if someone would come out of the board room. No one came out, I was remorseful and patient at the same time, but most importantly, patience is the mother of success. After fifteen minutes I couldn't be patient any more, I went straight to the board room door, before I could reach it I was just a few steps away from the door. The door opened, I stopped, and I thought of going backwards but then if I go back how am I going to find an answer to my quest.
