Meeting new friends
Children and adults walked in and out of their huts and houses, and the village looked lively, As Ella’s eyes moved from one place to another, she suddenly saw something, and it caught her attention; she stared at it from a distance, but no matter the amount of gazes she made at it, she still couldn’t see it.
“What is that? ” she wondered aloud, her eyes twinkling in curiosity. Her two sharp eyes were eventually able to see it after a ton of effort.
“Wow! It is so beautiful! ” She gaped at it in astonishment, her mouth was widely open.
“Close your mouth already,” Cory laughed at Ella. “I will explain to you about our village and its rules, but first, go and take your bath, ” he proposed, Without waiting for a response, he left the room.
…….
“No, it belongs to me!” Little Randy screamed at his elder brother as he tried to snatch the toy from his hands.
“No, it is mine, I am your elder brother, I make the rules! ” Raphael replied angrily. On noticing his younger brother’s hesitant to release the toy, he decided to make use of his strength and pushed his brother to the floor.
Randy fell on the floor and burst into tears, but the stubborn Raphael looked very happy.
“See, I am more powerful than you, you are just a little boy, a weakling! ” Raphael said and burst into a devilish laughter.
“I am your brother, why are you so mean to me?” Randy asked amidst his tears.
“Because I hate you! I hate you! I hate you and I hate you! I just hate you!” Raphael replied with gritting teeth, he stared at his brother, his eyes filled with anger and spite. “You! You always think you are special, but hear me and hear me well, there is nothing special about you! You are a weakling! A weak and powerless little boy, that is who you are! Randy, you are nothing but a coward, I am by far better than you in everything!” Raphael yelled at his brother with burning eyes.
“If I was allowed to kill you, I would do it without hesitation!” Raphael bellowed at his younger brother, his fists clenched ready to beat daylight away from him.
“But, I love you, I do, and if it is about the toy which is rightfully mine, I give it to you I dash you, and daddy will get me another one, ” Randy said with a soft voice.
“That is the problem! ” Raphael growled and raised his fist, ready to beat Randy.
“Hey, you! Stop that! ” Ella yelled at Raphael before he could punch Randy. She was on her way to bathe for little Luna when she heard Randy cry.
“And who are you?” Raphael asked rudely, not minding that she was older than him.
“A friend, moreover, I overheard your conversation, Why would you treat your junior brother in such a way? ” she asked with an elderly voice.
“And how is your concern? He is my brother, not yours! ” Raphael barked at Ella before he ran off.
Ella turned to the little boy, She managed to raise him from the ground, but little Randy was in tears.
“Hey it is alright, okay? ” she consoled him like a mother.
“H o p, cry, inn, ” Baby Luna smiled at little Randy, and he smiled back.
Randy on noticing Luna’s cheerful mood decided to stop crying.
“What is her name? ” Randy asked politely, he was still staring at baby Luna, he couldn’t get his eyes off her, and baby Luna was also staring at him.
“Her name is Luna, ” Ella replied, She was happy to see the two little kids together.
“Hey baby Luna, ” Randy waved at the little girl.
“Ah, ” Little Luna replied with a smile on her face.
“But, why is she always smiling, doesn’t she feel sad sometimes?” Randy asked Ella curiously.
“Life is all about happiness, there is no need to be sad or worried because everything will be alright, ” Ella replied to him. “By the way, what is your name? ” she asked.
“Randy, my name is Randy,” he replied and bowed, “Thank you so much for helping me, Aunty. ”
“It was nothing, Next time he bullies you, make sure you report him to your parents, okay?” Ella advised him.
“I will. By the way, can I come and visit Luna some other time? ” he asked eagerly.
Seeing the boy’s eagerness, she beamed, “Well am sure her father won’t mind, so it is a yes, ” she replied, happy that Luna was able to make a new friend.
“Thank you once again, I have to go now, bye aunty, bye Luna, ” he waved at them, a smile on his face, and ran off.
“By by! “Baby Luna screamed at him, and then she started to giggle.
“I know right, a new friend, ” Ella pecked her daughter.
“Such boldness! ” a thick voice bellowed at them.
Ella turned to the direction, and before her, a god stood.
“You are a human, right? ” she stuttered, unsure of what to say.
“Hmm, do I look like an immortal?” he asked with raised brows.
“Yes you do, You look like a fallen god” She nodded at his question.
“Hmm, a fallen god. Am guessing that’s your daughter, ” he said and pointed at the smiling baby Luna.
“Yes, she is my daughter, ” Ella answered, but she kept staring at him.
The man smiled at her, revealing his white teeth.
The strange man was tall, probably 6 ft, and he was blessed with long hair. He wore a yellow coat and his shoes were modern style.
“I don’t think you still want to see your daughter, ” he said, and his smile turned into a menacing one.
“What do you mean? ” Ella stammered.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
“Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!” The man laughed mischievously, “Who gave you the right to talk to the children of the great Ralph Lauren?” he bellowed at her.
