The Secret circle!

At a dirty and smelly corridor of a decrepit and desolate ramshackle, Hussain parked his car carefully on top of a dumpy heap of waste materials aside. The place was not far from that legendary slum in Nairobi. Few people who had misery errands or sometime in total idleness marauded around aimlessly. It looked like one of the dangerous streets to roam in.

Inside the ramshackle, were three young men that were totally at odds to relate to a rich man like Hussain. One of them had a baggy green t-shirt that was heavily coated with grime on it's neckline. He coupled it with a dirty cream corduroy. He had short and unkempt hair that was not particularly clean. The other man seated next to him and he too was not much different. He had an old faded yellow t-shirt and rugged black pair of jeans. Contrary to the first one , this one had black leather cape. The last one , who seemed to be a way younger than the rest, had a tight gray shirt and faded blue pair of jeans that had unsightly patches on the knees. Hussain entered and greeted them casually.

"Kelly! I hope you told your fellows how we discussed last time!" Hussain reminded the one who had a gray shirt.

"I did and I will continue to update them."

" Now my boys listen!" Hussain muttered now addressing all of the three. "I thought it wise that you should be proud of your work. Would you mind me taking you away for awhile?"

"What?" Kelly interjected happily.

"Yes! Yes!" The other two added almost in unison and trying to grin to each other.

Hussain signalled them into the car a minute later and the men without hesitation got into the car. The two older men secured the back seats and Kelly, landed the front seat next to Hussain. This was a miraculous chance for them to ride in such a snug and expensive car. It was spacious with comfortable leather heated seats. They regaled at the infotainment system in the car and a sweet air freshening fragrance permeated inside.

They drove past the iconic Bomas of Kenya all the way past the Lang'ata cemetery . The two back passengers couldn't help but to wow at the excusite vantage view of the scenic outside . It was one of the most refreshing and mind cooling trip to them. Kelly had a intermittent casual chat with Hussain as he too enjoyed the amazing ride. In all his talks , Hussain had little or no jokes at all. He did not laugh at all and only made occasional grins whenever Kelly amused him .

"Why do you think It's a good thing to work with you?" Hussain asked Kelly at one instant.

" You're the most punctual boss I have ever seen. You pay us regularly on time."

Kelly replied.

" And what if I decide to do better?"

"Better?" Kelly wondered and continued. "You're already better. Or what do you mean?"

" I mean I add you some more money."

Hussain suggested with little emotion in it. It sounded like he always had a garden where he grows money and he can readily pick whatever amount he wished. Kelly wondered even more. The wealth of this Arabian man was unspeakable.

"So you mean our work would increase also?" Kelly inquired in surprise.

" Obviously " Hussain assured with a tone of finality.

They pulled into the gates of huge and opulent shopping mall. Hussain packed the car aside and remained inside . He ordered them to go and relish in anything they wished to have . He assured he was going to settle any payments that they would have encountered.

The three men were on there cloud nine when they stepped inside the mall. Everything that they yearned for was already at their disposal except money. Kelly admired new pair of jeans and shirts that he had never thought of getting one day. The other two men also were taken aback when they realized they could own better phones than that one of Kelly. After each had lavished himself with what they desired, they walked out of the mall when Hussain came minutes later, to settle the bill. They carried big shopping bags and couldn't help but cry "thank yous" to Hussain.

Getting back into the car, they drove away beaming smiles to each other happily. Hussain drove into a more serene and tranquil environment in a bushy environment. A path that was characterized with boulders small shrubs.There seemed to be no evidence of human inhabitance . It was more like a place that was never known at all.He switched off the engine and cleared his throat loudly. Turning his head backwards , and ignoring Kelly deliberately,he warned the two men harshly . " I did not want to tell you earlier enough but I think it's time. Apart from Kelly , you two have a low work output."

" Why please let us know." One of them posed.

" I don't clarify matters that needn't . Can you please explain to them how you do your job Kelly!"

Kelly turned his head backwards too and explained. "I made sure when I submit my report to the boss ,I have at least five active and working phone numbers. "

"You mean you can convince five girls at a time?" One of them inquired . Kelly smiled and continued.

"No I don't! Just have some romantic tongue and they would give in. I have may agent. A girl called Maggie that is a sister to my friend. I use her to help me do the thing."

The two friends of Kelly sighed in bewilderment. They did not believe that their is always a trick to win more girls.One of them who appeared to be more talkative , got more amused by Kelly's witty mind and probed. " Can you tell us more about it Kelly. You're putting it disjointed. We don't understand you." Hussain turned his head forward and started swiping his phone with a dexterity that portrayed it was a pretext. Kelly seized the chance to exalt his heroism. "Maggie goes out to her friends and convince them of having a loving man that needs a girlfriend. Easy to go girls eventually fall into this trap and I get to have their numbers. Fake love as much as possible to win their hearts."

" What is the girls know they're sharing one man?" The less talkative challenged.

"They won't by any means! They will only be chanced to know when Maggie let the rope loose. She the one responsible for protecting that circle. After that I usually come into terms with Maggie and commend her with something." Kelly elaborated.

All that time Hussain uttered no word . One would think that he doesn't even exist in the talk at all. When Kelly finished his narration, Hussain turned to his usual black leather bag that he was in the glove compartment of the car. Inside he shove a bundle of new bank notes and separated them into three. He handed them to Kelly who after taking his share, delivered the rest to it's respective recipients. The two men sighed and giggled foolishly at each other.

"Each of you only gave me two phones numbers but Kelly gave me five. If you were the employer ,who would you work with?" Hussain asked the two.

"Kelly absolutely! But we promise to do better next time!" The talkative man defended wisely.

" You better do! " Hussain cautioned then turned to address Kelly.

" Because you report seems to be the most reliable, I want you to do something ."

"Do what?" Kelly quizzed intriguingly .

"Can I get the voice of one of your girls that you've managed to get."

Kelly looked back at him in surprise. Hussain had caught him off. Nevertheless, he took out his phone and luckily landed on Claire's phone number. He fumbled his fingers uneasily but lastly dialed her number. He put his phone in the loud speaker and everyone in the car listened ardently to the beeping sound on the other end of the line. When she finally picked it, a soft and eloquent feminine voice permeated inside the car.

" Hello my beautiful?" Kelly intoned

"Hello my heart! I miss you so much!" Claire cried out mirthfully .

" I miss you more than you do darling. " Kelly returned.

" But Kelly there's something terrible I longed to tell you."

"Terrible? What's that?" Kelly asked pretending to be concerned.

"It's about my sister! She warned me of dating . She even saw your pictures."

" My pictures?"

" Yes your pictures!" Claire confirmed. At that instant , Hussain grinned while the two men let out a playful chuckle.

"Okay It's okay I'll sort that out my lovely sweetheart! We will talk a little bit later okay."

Claire paused for a moment and then answered in a low voice. " It's okay."

Hussain ignited the car after Kelly had finished his call and muttered with a tone that had little joy ." Perfect! I love that. Make sure to play the same game on 8th next week. She must be my next target. "
