Charlie turned around, her eyes could only see blurred figures walking about and minding their own businesses. She ducked down and her hands were uncontrollably searching for her spectacles, they were being stamped on by busily moving figures, suddenly her hand felt a piece of glass and unhesitatingly she picked it up.
After feeling the glass with her hands, she realised it was the broken piece of glass from her spectacles. Then when she moved a little further, she felt something underneath her legs. It was her specs, she picked it up and tried to fix it but she found no luck. Thankfully one piece of glass was not scattered, so she was not completely blind. She had quickly put on her broken specs and examined the carnival.
She had gone there with her parents and now they were no where to be seen. She was new to this country so she didn't have her parents new phone numbers with her. Now she had to search for her parents. And she knew it wouldn't be an easy task to search for them amidst so many people, and with a broken spectacle it would be nearly impossible.
But nevertheless, she decided to head on to a so called ?mission', well it was a mission to her at least. Now she knew about all the places her parents were eager to visit so she decided to take a map of the carnival that was lying on the ground and set on a journey.
Charlie knew her mom wanted to see the circus, so that was the first place she was headed too. Although she had the tension of losing her parents in the back of her mind, she still decided to admire her surroundings with one eye able to view it perfectly. While she was on her way to the circus, she saw a bunch of rides. Now she knew merry go rounds were for kids but for some reason that ride never failed to make her excited, so she stopped to admire the joyful faces of the children, and the music that was played while the ride functioned.
After a while of walking, Charlie finally reached the circus. She tried to look for her parents but she found no luck. But instead of worrying she decided to enjoy the show. She would have enjoyed the show more if one part of her specs wasn't broken, but she still had a blast seeing all the fun things and stunts being done in the circus.
Then she decided to explore the next place her parents wanted to visit, and that was the sweet shop. She headed towards the sweet shop. While she was near the sweet shop, she could smell the aroma of delicious food being cooked, She didn't have money, however there were free samples of food. So Charlie decided to try them, and just as she had expected, they tasted delicious. The food was handmade and was the kind of food you could eat every day. She went inside the sweet shop and to her disappointment her parents were no where to be seen.
After sometime the medical department let her leave. They thanked them for their hospitality. Her parents were just heading towards the exit but she begged them to take her to the fountain. With her uncontrollable pleadings, her parents gave in and took her to the fountain.
Once she reached the fountain, she was so mesmerised by the beauty of the fountain. It was like a transparent glass. Her parents and Charlie admired the fountain, and in a way, it did make her feel better and made her forget about her injury for a while. That was the moment she realised; nature does heal things. She along with her parents stayed there for a while and then they were headed straight for home. This day was certainly an unforgettable day
"Donnie! Donnie!" His voices echoed as David was calling me to hurry up for his uncle's party."Just a minute" I replied. David's uncle, Trevor had a house just a kilometer from a small farming town we were staying. He was rarely inviting his cousin whenever he dropped the party, maybe because David's mother wasn't his blood sister.
To his amazement, he was invited this time around. "You need to escort David tomorrow, I want you to keep an eye on him as you know David's characters so vividly" David's mother started when I once visited them.
David and I have been friends since our childhood infact, we had been accomplices in so many occasions. It had been, Lilly, David's mother who was hero whenever we were in trouble. No wonder, this time she trusted me with this new role, a guardian angel.
Being David's guardian angel wasn't a difficult task at all, but I needed someone to convince my Aunt that I would be not available for fews hours. Leaving her house without her consent had been landing me in unimaginable plights being whipped or being locked outside of the house included.
I spent the entire night outside of the house.
"If you're serious that I should accompany your son to the party please, can you do a woman to woman talk to my aunt about this?" I replied to her in askance. "Certainly" she shot straightaway. Up to now, I don't know what spell did David's mother casted on my aunt as she didn't even gave a second thought to the idea of escorting David, in that case the night party to someone she didn't even know.
"Donnie! Where are you?" She called. "I'm cleaning! in the garden aunt" I replied. Whenever she called me on top of her voice like that, I knew for sure that there was something worth discussing or I have fallen on the wrong side of her daily rules which were so boring and hard to remember.
For once in my life, I saw tears on cheeks of my aunt. I realised how caring she was. I had been misunderstanding her love and care in all of the past years. Without giving second thought on what to do when I realised that I had been wrongly accusing her of the attitudes she had been showing to me, I ran, swung my gands around her and hugged her rightly. "I'm really sorry, aunt, at first, I failed to realise how caring you are until now" I cried loudly. "Shhhh!" She shushed me. "Isn't it David who's calling you" she echoed. "Yes it's him" I replied.
"Go up and clean up yourself, I'll drop youw off, I just want want make sure that you have reached the intended place on time, hurry up" She finished.
When she was saying these words, I felt much love from the auntie. She was the only woman I had known in my life as a mother because they adopted me when I was just eight months old. Both of my parents died in a car accident on their way home as they were knocking off from work. That's the brief history as told by my aunt.
We followed him until the heart of well packed chairs in the deepest part of the party.
Seldomly, I could see David's uncle waving him cheerfully.
After everyone was filled to the brim, people begun dancing music from the local musician Patience Namadingo who was performing live. I wasn't interested in music nor dancing not because the musician wasn't good, but because I wasn't a good dancer.Contrary to me, David was exceptional when it comes to dancing. Infact, he had been participating in so many dancing competitions so dancing was not an issue to him.
We collected enough food which would last for weeks according to her.
I escorted her to her home which was just behind the marque tent in which the party was happening.
When we reached her home, I nearly broke into tears . They were living in a shabby house which it's roof was being supported by a sigle pole.When her father heard our entry into the house, he woke up. "Give me something to chew please" He demanded. He must had been waiting for the arrival of the daughter with a meal at least. "I don't what would have happened had it been that she did not bring any meal?" I talked to myself.
When she had finished giving her father the meal, we hurried to the party.
Soon after we entered into the marque tent, the vice president grabbed the microphone. "Today is the birthday of my wife, I want any pair or individuals who can dance nicely to come on front". "If you pleases her a lot, you will have anything you can desire today". He finished.
Annita dragged me out of the tent. "Okay" She started. "I know you're not a good dancer, but let's sacrifice whatever we can so that we can win whatever the Vice president will offer. "If you cannot do it for yourself, please do it to my father,,please!" She begged me.
"I'm not sure if we can win this but I will definitely give my best help your father" I assured her.
"Anyone please?" Echoed the voice of the master of the ceremony.
David raised his hand but his uncle signaled him not to participate. Up to now, I don't know why? May be their reputation was on line. "Anyone please?" Sounded master of ceremony.
Annita raised her hand and dragged me on the dancing floor. When David saw me, he bursted into the laughter. Yes, his expressions were straightforward, I won't make it.
"That's impressive, so impressive" She started. "Before you voice whatever you wishes, I'm giving you a full funded scholarships to both of you from primary up to university" She continued.
"Ladies first, young girl, what's your name?" She asked. "I'm Annita".
"What can I do for you lady?" She continued in askance. "A house medical care to my blind father that's all mum" She replied whilst crying.
"Consider it done and he will be under my total care once your are perusing your studies" She finished.
Annita was now in tears of joy.
"Yes, boy, what's your name?" She asked. "I'm Donnie" I replied. I replied.
None was expecting us to find these favours that day as all the promises were fulfilled exceedingly.
