Party 6

"Ahhh Mira look at you!" a white said grabbing Mira and twirling her around.

"You look so beautiful." she added.

Mira smiled and thanked the lady.

The white lady had come with aunt Romen.

Her name was Leila and she was from Italy.

She was aunt Romen's good friend.

She had been in country X for a very long time so she had watched most of the children grow up and they all loved her.

Almost thirty minutes passed and the place was buzzing with guests.

One could hear the clinking of glasses and laughter here and there as people engaged in conversation.

The children made friends here and there and the little ones ran around and ate as much as they could stomach.

At 8.30pm Mr Abo entered the hall. Many people approached him to make conversation and also widen their connections or even ask for favours.

More guests kept coming in and the hall was filled.

Most of them were here of course to have a chance of meeting Mr Abo since most of them were business people.

" Miss Romen!" a middle aged woman said approaching where Ms Romen was standing with other business people.

They all turned to look at her as she approached them.

She was all dressed expensively.

"I didn't know you had such good looking children."

"Ah! how do you manage to care for them?" She said with an air of amusement.

"Oh it's all God's grace that the children are doing well." Aunt Romen said with a smile.

Just look at them they all look like they are born of the same parents.

"They are like a family." The lady said.

In a distance Luigi was cleaning Daniella who had the remains of a chocolate cake all over her mouth and hands with a napkin.

" I have talked to most of them and they are interesting to talk to." The expensive lady said.

" Oh I was thinking whether you can give me a chance to do something for them." The lady said.

"Oh sure." aunt Romen said and as they were still talking a voice came from the microphone asking for attention.

" Hmm." Mr Abo cleared his voice.

"I would like to say a few words." Mr Abo said.

"I hope you excuse me for my late coming."

"I think am getting old because recently I have started forgetting things." He said.

"Am afraid I may forget that am standing here." He added and the audience laughed.

"And sorry to say that I will be leaving soon again." He said again.

"Anyway this small occasion is mainly for the children so kids I hope you are having fun.

"Forgive this old man who can't have fun with you."

"For all those here I hope we can all support these young stars."

" Aunt Romen thanks for all the work you are doing." Mr Abo said with sincere gratefulness in his eyes.

"And go the kids have fun." He finished and the audience clapped as he walked down from the stage.

He had a few words with some of the children mainly the boys and walked where aunt Romen was standing with the others.

"Let me steal her for a while." Mr Abo said holding aunt Romen's hand and walking away with her.

They talked about many things but all were about the Haven.
