My Treasure Vita

WHY THE LONELINESS

Semesters were ending all around the country,Glory was so excited because the manor would have some life for at least five weeks.Malika would bring her two kids, same cousins would come she just couldn't wait. Kwame woke up that morning in a great mood Vita had given him the four letters personally this time, ' good morning mummy' 'hm your happy what is it tell me who is she''mummy please' he said while blushing 'so I shouldn't be happy, it should be someone' 'fine am just teasing you but when you think she is the one tell me ok' 'mummy, I will' this gave Glory hope that there was "a woman" in her son's life.She rose from her chair quickly hugging him 'mummy... please I can't breathe' letting him go he saw tears in her eyes 'mummy, why are crying' 'son tears of joy, who is she tell everything' as she sat down again 'you said when am sure, so no telling' 'ok, ok, is it Star' she asked curiously but Kwame just laughed. 'Mummy I have to ask, what course is Vita doing?' 'oh, security and diplomatic studies, why ask' ' just wanted to know, where is everyone for that reason' 'they are preparing the rooms for the holiday makers and...' 'no, the semesters have ended, no' 'you bad boy, don't you want your siblings home' 'it's not that but the noise..' 'well I want it so get used and it was perfectly timed with your homecoming ' 'oh that too, am ok with it, hm , it means am going back to work and.... nothing' Glory could see that Kwame was tied of his own life but kept pushing some how. From the dinning table one could see the stairs and the door that leading one into the seating room, he raised eyes and saw Vita coming down, she was wearing a knee high tight skirt and an armless shirt. He found himself smiling as she made her way down the stair his mothers eyes were in her plate Vita looked down at the table and Kwame pretended to be scratching his eyes. As she passed by them with the cleaning equipment she greeted Kwame who simply nodded at her .'Vita is everything set there' all is ok, any complaints am answerable' ' oh you silly girl and please make same desserts too for lunch and...' 'mummy, put it in a list think she will do all at once, pity her.' Vita blushed as this showed same concern for her. ' It's just that I will miss you dear..' 'who' asked Kwame ' Vita, she will spend the semester break at her grandparent's place ..' 'WHAT ' by now everyone was by the kitchen so they heard reaction ' I mean, what of nanny Berna and miss Clear who will....' he said all this with breaks in his speech covering the fact that something was hating inside him.'Kwame baby, Vita has never been our maids so she needs the break and her grandparents need to see her, is it because of her cooking' asked lady Glory looking at him as he faintly agreed . A car was heard parking infront of the house, Glory's heart skipped a beat as she stood up see who it was 'mummy, mummy' two girl's voices came out screaming it Amara and Ayana as they ran up to there mother.Lucy there cousin came walking with Amare who was too much of a gentle man to run 'my babies, my lovelies' they all came hugging her as they talked all at once saying this and that, Kwame was still seated as everyone viewed this precious moment he spotted out Vita 'how could she be this happy when she is leaving me for that long' . ' hi, hi'said Glory 'come let me show you something' she led them to Kwame who was still in a daze due to Vita's leaving he was brought back by screams even Amare couldn't hold his excitement this time, they all ran to him almost making fall 'wow' he said sarcastically 'your all suddenly acting like you love me ehh ' they all laughed, Lucy Ayana and Amara couldn't hold their tears 'why didn't you tell us you were back' asked Amare 'well we were all surprised too' said Glory ' hi come lets eat first and I will answer all questions later' he looked around seeing how happy everyone was and saw Vita even crying this made him loose his smile . After breakfast they were all in the guest room ,the jazzing could be heard from a mile away, now that they were back and more were to come, the driver Saleh came back too and he was the one who had picked them from school .'Saleh welcome back' said miss Clear 'come, Vita give him something to eat' . Kwame gave everyone there gifts that he had carried from Egypt and soon lunch was announced in the garden. 'Yes, I missed the home food, miss Berna and miss Clear's cakes and Vita's food wow' said Amare as he blew kisses to Vita making her laugh 'hi your too young for her' Kwame quickly said 'fire come on, she is just two years older than me and it's ok if you want a chance with her ...' 'shout up' Kwame said sceptically 'don't joke like that again' Amare stopped looking at his brother 'so there is someone in your life fire, that's why if I talk of other girls you shrug them off' Kwame was blank 'no' . Although Amare knew Kwame was lying he didn't want to push him . That evening, Vita sat in the gazebo and could hear the house so vibrant . She remembered seeing and hearing Kwame laugh and this gave her a chill down her spine .'He smiles so beautifully, why is he always gloomy, maybe am the problem it's always around me that he frowns...' ' you talk yourself' she knew the voice but it could a mind's trick, she looked up it was him Kwame. 'What....no I just ...what are you doing here beastie shouldn't you be...' 'enough with the pretence' said he softly 'why didn't you tell me you take the semester break from your place' 'beastie I didn't think it would be necessary to you' 'oh, so you think for me now, well I should be informed to ok.. you may be my mother's responsibility but am the head of this family so I must know everything that happens here, ok '. Vita was amazed at his reaction he was not yelling or doing anything angrily it seemed he cared .'silly girl he only cares about his household not you' she thought, 'well beastie, it will only be for to weeks and it's not like am that important in this place so my absence won't be so noticeable' she said as he looked at her knowing that her absence will indeed be noticed. 'So beastie did you read my letters this time' 'all of them' 'so am I forgiven' she said her brown eyes widening and sparkling from the dim light of the gazebo. He deepened his gaze at her, she blushed and looked away, pulling her face back to him while moving closer, he spoke softly his voice deepening more 'forgiving you will take more than four letters' by now he had eliminated the distance between them, her head would go as far as his neck so he looked down at her his green eyes barrowing through her soul. He moved away from her and walked away, Vita sat for she was shaking Kwame kept surprising her everytime.'Wait the letters weren't enough what more does he want' her imagination came up saying 'maybe you should make trip to his room' 'what he can't be that shallow, maybe ... maybe ..ahh' 'Vita' called Amos 'talking to yourself again, dear girl why'.
