***********

Jason walked towards the entrance Thokozani mentioned and met a woman there. She was an albino, tall with brown boots and yellow dress. Jason couldn’t make out her face from the distance he was standing.

‘Are you the new help?’ Naya asked without looking up. She was placing plates on the tables.

‘No…I am …’ Jason was puzzled that the albino had an accent

‘Don’t just stand there, start setting dinner plate on the table. We have less than five minutes before dinner’ she said without waiting for Jason to introduce himself.

Jason dropped his briefcase by the door and carried the pile of plates near the window and started distributing across the table. When he got close enough to her, he saw her face. She wasn’t an albino, she was white. And she was stunning.
She looked up and stared at him.

‘You don’t look like a help’ Naya said and her face was expressionless.

‘Probably because I am not, I am Jason and I am your new boss’

Naya stared at him and blinked twice.

‘Do not forget to place the spoons beside the plates, boss’ and she went back to what she was doing, leaving a puzzled Jason to stare at her in shock.

THE SECRETARY

Jason and Naya had a deal. Jason was allowed to sleep in her bed during the day when Naya was busy with the kids. The deal worked for both of them. Jason got a good soft bed all to himself and Naya in turn showed her gratitude for the vocational school he made possible by offering the said bed to him.


Even after months of staying in the same orphanage home, the duo still had a friendly stranger relationship. It was just the way Jason preferred it because the last time he got involved with an employee, he had to put a distance between them.


Naya kept the children in line during the day; made sure everyone went to school and did their home work in the evening. Jason mostly kept his distance from the children except for Nolani, who kept appearing at odd hours behind his bed.


 Jason noticed that Naya took a special interest in Nolani, the way she took care of her almost seemed motherly.


Jason was just about to drift off to sleep when the door opened and Naya came inside holding Nolani. Naya was a brunette again and Jason couldn't help but be disappointed. 


Nolani's body was filthy and her hands were muddy. She clung unto Naya's yellow dress leaving filth all over her dress but Naya paid no attention to the child's mayhem.


'Isn't she supposed to be in school?' Jason asked feeling reluctant to move away from the bed to give them privacy. 


'Well, someone decided it was more fun to play with the mud than stay in class. I blame myself, I should have stopped home schooling her when she turned two and now she is spoilt' Naya smiled at the child. 


Nolani's hand found Naya's face, smearing mud all over her face.


'Thanks Nolani. I really needed mud all over my face' Naya said with playful sarcasm that made the child giggle.


'Can you hold her while I clean my face?' Naya asked Jason


'But she is covered in…mud' Naya dropped the child on Jason's chest and made her way into her bathroom before Jason could finish his statement.


'What am I supposed to do with her?' Jason yelled


'Hmm I don't know…wipe her hands…oh God, the mud is on my hair too'


Jason looked at the child on his chest closely for the first time and her eyes were blue. He must be mistaken. It couldn't be true. A black child having blue eyes in Africa was as rare as finding a unicorn in your backyard. It reminded Jason of the story he heard when he was in Nigeria. A man asked his wife and three daughters to leave his house, according to the story his three daughters all had green eyes and therefore were abominations. The story didn't shock Jason at all even though it made his stomach churn in repulsion.


Even though Jason hated dirt, he didn't make much fuss as Nolani wiped her dirty hands on the black shirt he was wearing. The child felt right at home lying on his chest and Jason made no attempt to dissuade her. Nolani started poking his eyes.


'Nolani, if your intention is to blind me then you are doing a good job but mind you, I have a billion dollar company to run and I need my eyes, young lady' Jason conversed with the toddler like he would an adult. The child yawned and left his eye alone. She was exhausted.


'Dada' she said and rested on Jason's chest drowsily.
