“My best friend and her daughters are coming. Actually, my friend wants to see you. I told her lots about you ”

“Okay ” he said nonchalantly.

“Dress really smartly okay? Her beautiful daughters will be there as well” she teased.

“I don’t want to marry. They should marry their man” he said with anger. “I hate girls ”

“Why will you hate girls? You can’t just hate girls just like that”

“I hate them just like that. I don’t want them”

“And who said I was getting you married to them? This is just a get together dear ”

“I don’t want…” he replied and attempted to walk off but then realized he hadn’t completed his sentence. “…to meet them”

Arriving home, he walked into the bathroom ready to take his shower. The girl of earlier walked toward him in her uniform smiling.

“Do you miss me? ” she had asked. He got confused and blinked just so as to confirm if she was real. She had disappeared when he opened his eyes. It was his aunt who was before him instead.

“Are you okay? ” she asked.

“Yes… ” he replied looking confused. She gave him a suspicious look but managed to smile anyway.

“After bathing, rehears the sentences I taught you so that you will interact with her properly”

THE visitors arrived later in the evening. His aunt came into his room ordering him to hurry up. He was dressed in a long sleeve shirt and blue jean pant. His aunt brought forward a bottle of rose scent perfume ordering him to use it on himself. Admiring the scent of the perfume, he sprayed a large amount on himself getting him to cough really hard.

“Come on let’s go! ” his aunt ordered him pulling him out of the room. “Remember to speak exactly the way I taught you and hold on, why do I feel you used almost half of the amount of perfume on your body? ” she asked frowning. The visitors were two females. One middle aged lady and a young teenager who was a year or so older than him.

“Good evening” he greeted with a fake smile.

“O! Good evening dear. You must be Christian. I am so sorry on your mum’s death ”

“It’s okay ma ” he replied politely.

“Hi… ” The young lady greeted with a grin waving at him.

“Hi… ” he replied back looking confused. He turned to his aunt who winked.

“I am Sandra. Can I know your name? ” she asked in smiles.

“I am Christian ” He replied.

“Wow! That’s cool Christian ” She yelped out in joy. “Mum this guy is amazing!”

“Your aunt told me you weren’t opportune to be educated but it seems to me that you are very much educated son” The woman told him smiling. Christian gulped a mouth full of saliva but smiled anyway.

“I am illiterate” he replied making both mother and daughter shake their head in pity.

“I am sorry but that won’t be for long. You are also my child and you know it”

“And also, I don’t care if you are an illiterate or not! I am ready to teach you all you wish to know” Sandra had told him with a seductive look. Her mum slapped her on the thigh knowing the type of girl she was.

“Sandra, don’t know me you are flirting with him too? ”

“No mum. I just told him” she defended herself frowning.

“I know who you are better than anyone. No need to act innocent” her mum warned. “Anyway, what is taking your little sister so long? She should be here by now right? ” Suddenly the door flung open and a girl in a mini skirt walked in with her eyes engrossed on her phone.

“Sorry mum but I had to gist with Isabella on an important issue in school” She said sitting beside her sister. Sent stared up at Christian with a smile but the smile suddenly disappeared realizing who it actually was.
