Cisco Arrival

Chapter 8

We are done with today's work and the hain staff comes as usual and it was tiring like always. November wanted to follow me home but I declined because she I'm going to my part time job. I wanted to drop her at her house but she declined saying that I should quickly go to my job. It's been long I've went to my other part time jobs, I'm going there today to fetch some cash,The landlord is coming this week to collect our rent l,the rent is 200 dollar but I only have 100 dollar with me and people used to say the house rent is too much but we thank the man if not him no one is gonna usher us in.I arrive at my house but to my surprise our house is not silent as usual, I'm hearing the voice of the landlord, what is he doing here,is he not suppose to come on wednesday.i hurriedly get down from my scooter and enters,I met granny on the floor with tears in her pretty face.Time to show my judo skill, I dash towards the man and landed a punch on his face and he fell down. "Granny Mabel, what happened to you?" I was saddened by her condition. "There is nothing my child,the landlord wanted his money and I said we are going to pay this week" she narrated "Then why are you on the floor?" I asked for the uptenth time. "I fell down, '' she Said, wiping her tears. Ye…yes,she fell down when I'm asking her

about the house rent" he stutter stupidly. "Hmm" someone clears his/her throat and enters. Wassup Cisco, what are you doing here?" I asked rapidly. "I saw everything that happen,I wanted to say hello to you when I saw him blabbing and granny is begging him when he suddenly push her wheelchair away making her fall down" he narrated as I listen with keen interest and the man start to shiver maybe even peeing in his pant. I grip his neck tight and kick him when the sun doesn't shine as he shouted in pain. "Ah,I will arrest you this good for nothing girl,dare me!!!" He said still on the floor as I made to pounce on him again Cisco held me down. "Iris let him go" granny begged on his behalf as I let him go and Cisco threw him a bundle of 200 dollars. "Don't come here again" Cisco muttered as he left hurriedly. Lifted granny up from the floor back into her wheelchair. He is Francisco but I call him Cisco. We knew each other from Hwarang martial arts.I was seven while he was nine then. We become friends since that day but he later told me that he likes me and wanted to date me,stuff like that but I don't do love and I told.He travelled since then, he travels when I'm twenty years old and he is more handsome,his blonde hair grow perfectly long, and his bicep now appear more strongly seem he has been training unlike me. His silver eyes now shine more brightly. "Your food is in the microwave" granny muttered as I nodded. "You can share it with Fransis, '' granny said reading her newspaper. "Alright, granny" I mutter taking Cisco outside to talk but granny's voice makes us halt. "FranciscoFransisco where are you all this while?" She asked glaring at him. "I'm sorry I didn't even Inform you that I'm traveling granny,it is urgent" He whispers, scratching his neck, which states that he is lyinglieing. "Okay,I hope you are good, '' Granny muttered as he nodded. We got outside and both sat down on an old chair that is owned by granny. "You good pretty?" He asked, staring at me,yes I miss that word,he is always calling me pretty since we are still a child. "Yeah,where have you been?" I retorted. "A message arrived telling me mother was sick,so I traveled back to cape town but unfortunately she later died" he muttered with a sad smile."it's okay,you are man" I said as I patted his back. "I have forgotten already,now gist me about you" he mumbled smiling. "What did you want to know about me?" I asked with raised eyebrows. "Oh I forget,where is Kimberly?" He asked, smiling. "Kimberly do ask of you and I used to tell her you are dead!!!" I said as he pinched my cheek. "Ouch what is that!!" I mutter rubbing my cheek. But you know that Kimberly has a crush on him,she told me herself but I'm gonna let that happen as Francisco is here again,she always asks him.She cried for a week when he left here.

Hain's Mall

The hain mall is owned by Natalie,the mother of Henry Ace. It is the number one mall in the whole of Italy. Models and prominent people come here to shop. She is more popular than the first lady of Italy, even though she is rich,she is not proud.All her staff are happy to work under her and also she herself is a fashionista,the dress she wears and sells cannot be seen in another mall. Today she is dressed in a red strapless gown that has a high slit at the end and matching heels and light makeup with nude lip gloss. She is four five years old while her husband is fifty but she doesn't look like her age,when you see her you will think she is twenty. "Good morning madam hain" the staff greeted. The amount her staff are collecting can make a billionaire. "Good morning, how are you?" she asked, sitting on her chair. "We are good madam, Thank you" They responded. "But this madam here wants a dress exactly like the gown you are wearing and I told her it is not possible that the dress you wear is made for you!!!" A staff member called the woman to come to Natalie. "That rude of you, Rosaline" she mutters glaring at the girl. "You can leave us alone" She said and the staff all left.
