My Madam And I - S01 E122

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 122

I and Phila went to the park at about noon. We sat under a flower tree watching as white people played with their dogs and kids.

” Good day sir”. Said a beautiful blond white boy.

We didn’t see him come. But he was standing in front of us smiling with a face like Leonardo da caprio of titanic. He should be about five years old.

I was surprised to see him same was Phila who looked shocked at me.

” hello sweetie” said Phila stretching her hand towards him.

He was still looking at me and then he said.

” are you from Africa?”

I and phila exchanged glances and I asked.

” why are you asking?”

” you look like one African man in a movie I saw”. The boy said.

Phila then sat back and folded her hands looking at me with a grin on her face.

” I am from Africa”. I said wondering what he was going to do with my answer.

” Sun! Why didn’t you tell us you were leaving?” Said a little girl from behind us.

She was in company of a girl of her age.

” I was just asking this good mister if he’s from Africa” the boy said.

” Sun! Stop doing that, its rude!” Said the other girl.

” its okay dear” Phila said. ” where is your mum?” phila asked.

” She’s at work, our nanny went to get groceries”. Said the first girl.

I and Phila exchanged glances like we were thinking the same thing. How could a nanny leave these kids to themselves.

And so Phila introduced herself and I.

” I am sweet”. Said the first girl. ” and these are my siblings, Sun and Shine”. She said pointing at her siblings.

I wondered what kind of name was that but kept my cool.

” you guys can stay here with us until your nanny comes back”. Phila suggested adjusting for them to sit.

The other girls were still hesitating when Sun climbed and sat beside me with his eyes glued to my face. His sisters then sat beside Phila.

“who’s the eldest?” Phila asked looking at Sweet.

” I am!” Sun said, stretching his head towards Phila, smiling crookedly.

” That’s a lie! We’re triplets” said Shine frowning at Sun.

” is it true that Africans are poor, thieves and Killers?” Sun asked looking into my face.

I was surprised to hear this, but his sister Sweet rebuked him saying.

” Sun! That’s rude of you!”.

Phila smiled and said to sweet who seemed to be very vexed at Sun who apparently didn’t care what she thinks.

” its okay love. Let him clear his curiosity”. Then she turned to me and said. ” Mike, won’t you answer him?”.

I was so unprepared for such intrusion. But I had to say something meaningful to the expectant little man.

“before I go further, where did you hear that from?” I asked Sun.

” my daddy told me”. Sun replied.

” Sun!” The two sisters chorused.

” it’s okay, I guess that’s a miss understanding” I said. ” there are thieves, killers and poor people in every race, not only Africa” . I said.

The girls focused on phila and were asking all kinds of matured questions like; is mike your boyfriend? Have you guys had sex? How can be sleeping in the same room with out having sex? Isn’t he charming enough?

Phila could not even manipulate them into asking them their own questions. When she discovered that she couldn’t get out of the brew, she turned their attention to me.

” who love stories?” Phila asked.

The excited children raised their hands saying” I” . She then turned to me and said.

” Mike here is a great story teller, Mike could you kindly share us one of your great stories” . Phila said hiding her amusement.

I was completely taken unaware. I was going to move it back to Phila but it was too late at the kids left their sits and sat on the carpet grass in front of me with legs crossed and hands under their jaws looking at me with expectation. I was compelled to cook up something.

“okay” I said, searching thoroughly into my brain archive. ” alright, story story”.

The kids were just looking at me. Phila exploded in laughter and the kids turned to her wondering why she was laughing.

” go straight to the point Mike”. Phila said afterwards.

I nodded and said.

” once upon a time”. I was waiting for them to repeat time time, but when I heard nothing I continued. “There lived a king who has a beautiful daughter. She was so fine that he never wanted anyone to see her. So one day when she was old enough for marriage the king summoned all the animals in the forest to review his intention of giving his daughter to the strongest amongst them…..”

” animals? How can an animal get married to a kings daughter?” Sweet asked with confusion laden on her face.

I was perplexed for awhile cox she was right. But here I was only being fictional. And so Phila rescued me.

” coz the king is also an animal, isn’t it Mike?”. Phila asked.

I nodded and continued.

” and the king set for a wrestling, and swore to give the winner his daughter….”.

” what kind of animal is the king?” Sun asked.

I said the first thing that popped into my head.

” lizard! The king is a lizard. And so, mr tortoise was in his farm working when goat brought the news to him. Mr tortoise said to himself “am going to marry her”.

So on the D-day, all the strongest animals converged at the market square for the wrestle. The animals were; lion, tiger, elephant, hippopotamus, leopard and so on…..”

” Are you trying to say lion, leopard, elephant will get married to a lizard?” Shine said.

” that’s so ridiculous!” Sweet added.

While Sun and Phila laughed their lives out, making me look stupid.

” sweetie am sorry”. Phila said, and then turned to the kids. ” this is a fiction okay, anything is possible”.

With that Phila gave me a go ahead, I had to put myself back in the mood to continue. And so I went on.

“while all the animals fought, tortoise hid himself in the crowd waiting for the right time to surface.

Eventually, lion won and walked gloriously to meet the king in other to claim his price. All of a sudden the tortoise screamed in his tiny voice ” Lion! Its not over yet! Wrestle me!”.

The kids laughed at that phrase. And when they stopped I continued.

” The lion laughed, the king laughed and all the animal present laughed making gest of tortoise. Yet he walked up to the king and said. ” if the lion thinks he is the strongest, and not afraid of me let him wrestle me!”.

The lion got angry with this statement, because it hurt his pride. “A whole me, lion, that this ant would challenge. I’ll crush him” the lion said in his heart. And then he begged the king to wrestle with tortoise. ” it wont take me up to a minute to crush him”. The lion pride. And so the king allowed him.

As the battle was about to begin, the tortoise entered his shell. The lion bit and bit but couldn’t break through. The tortoise mocked him saying” oh great lion, so your so talked about teeth can not break through my weak shell? Oh, how shameful, oh how pitiful”. This words provoked the lion and he bit harder until all his front teeth broke. Meanwhile the tortoise opened his anus so that as soon as the lions fingers enter it will clip it. And unfortunately for the lion, while its teeth broke, his finger entered the tortoise anus and he clipped it….”

” can’t the lion force it out of the tortoise abus?” Sun asked.

” no. The tortoises’ anus is like a padlock. Anything that goes in doesn’t come out save the tortoise let it go”. I said and continued. ” and so the lion cried, jumping up and down, hitting himself on the ground so hard.He continued until he ran and hit his head on a tree and died. And so the tortoise came out of his shell and claimed his bride. The End.

Phila clapped for me so hard and the kids followed. Another applause sounded from behind us and I was surprised to see a very beautiful Spanish girl. She was so curvy and tall. I have never seen someone so beautiful in my life. Her teeth were so white and eyes bold and white. With a very long dark hair that hung down her waist.

” bravo! bravo!”. She said in a Spanish ascent clapping. ” its a pity I didn’t begin with you people”.

She walked and stood in front of us. O could see that Phila was even intimidated by her beauty. With the way the kids ran to her and with the groceries in her hands I knew she is the nanny.

” my name is Isabella the children’s nanny”. She said extending her hands to me.

I took her hands in mine. It was the softest hands I have ever touched. I wonder how she was able to maintain such a soft palm. I was still holding her hands when she forcefully removed it from mine, that was when i realized I may have held it too long.

” this is Mike from Africa”. Sun introduced me.

” I am Phila”. Phila said extending a hand of handshake.

When we were done with preliminary introduction. I pondered between me how to get her number. But I couldn’t since I wouldn’t want to hurt Phila, so I quickly penned down my number and waited for the right time to act. As soon as Phila’s attention was diverted, I snuck it into Isabella’s hand and signalled a phone call. She looked at me and then to Phila but said nothing. At least she took the paper which gave me hope.

And so she waved us good bye and left with the kids.
