"It's for us to decide, and am telling you we love how long your hair is", Reddy fists my hair, " don't cut your lustrous hair".
I can't help how giddy my heart was when it heard his words, " I won't cut it until my helper says so".
All our lives, we've been told our helpers should be the only one we please, and right now, I wish it wasn't so.
The door opened, and a raised brow Kwofo walked in.
" Why am I always meeting the three of you this way? ", he crosses his arms like a father who caught a son in the act.
He's putting on a traditional Ugali attire, his black hair which was a bit long yesterday is cropped to frame his face. His blue and Black Apali attire as sharp contrast to his almost purple slippers.
Without releasing me from their hold, the two of them raised a brow at them, "is there any problem?", Reddy asked him.
"I just came to ask Buch how his first day without you two went", he shrugs, "but seeing you three together proves the day went by okay".
" Are you already dressed for dinner?", I slowly gives him another once over so he will know exactly what I mean by my question.
" Yeah, do you want to follow me there?", his question I likely directed to me, but his eyes are fixed at the two males beside me.
" Don't worry, we will escort him to dinner", Reddy says in a tune that leaves no room for arguments.
"Oh ok, I will meet you later Blacky; don't forget to wear a traditional attire for dinner. Even with your father not here, you need to dress according to the Amafo celebration today", he walks to the door, "see you later, and hopefully in your attire".
I smile at his words, Kwofo will always remain a traditional man despite being far away from Ugali.
In case I failed to mention this earlier in my introductions, Habigalima Academy is located between the borders of the entire specie's kingdom.
I slowly rose from the bed, yawning in hunger as I did so, "let's get get ready for dinner", I fondly caresses my stomach, "my baby wants to be fed".
I smile at the joke I just made.
"We're already ready for lunch, you go ahead and get ready".
Reddy is wearing a white embroidered wrapper while Blondie is putting on an animal skinned trouser with a white embroidered shirt.
"You two are truly dressed for dinner", I smiled at them"let me go get ready before Aiana devour all the edibles there".
I seriously don't trust Aiana not to do exactly that; she might do that just to spite me for something she claims I did to her; something even I am not aware of.
Reddy chuckles, "I've not seen anyone who likes dinner
more than you Blacky",
I shrug, " what can a growing male do if not to eat as much as his stomach can allow him?"
