Back to New York city

2 years later…………………………..

Knock Knock. “Come in” “good morning Kia” “morning Kia" "good morning Iris" "how was your night” “good and yours” “it was fine” “I’ve prepared your bath for you. I’ll go cook breakfast” “I’ll be down in a sec.” “ok”. A few minutes later, Kia went downstairs. “What’s for breakfast Iris?” “Scrambled eggs and pancakes. Here’s yours, try it” she looked at me eagerly to know the result “mhmm, tastes good” “really!” “Yeah, it’s very tasty” “ok then, eat while I go have my bath”. She went upstairs while I ate.

A few minutes later…………………..

“Ms. Iris, are you done” “almost” “to avoid reporters, we should be on our way to the airport” “……………………….. I’m done” “uhmm, it’s about time. I’ll go get the car ready”.

At the airport……………………….

When the reporters saw me ‘Kia’, they all ran towards me and threw all sorts of questions at me. “Ms. Kia, why have you decided to leave” “Ms. Kia are you quitting you career for good”, “Ms. Kia, what are your dark secrets”. I looked at them as they were ranting non-stop, but a particular caught my ear “Ms. Kia, do you have anybody in mind for marriage”. “NO!” I said before walking away. They followed me all the way to the entrance of my plane. When I finally got inside the plane, I heaved a sign of relieve. Then I said “that was tiring” “yeah” “so, I’ve booked rooms in a nearby hotel” “thanks Iris, you’re the best” I said as I gave her a hug. The rest of the trip went smoothly.

New York City

As I alighted from the plane, I remembered my past experience in this country. Iris saw that I was lost in thoughts and held my hand. She then said “Kia, will you be alright” “yeah, I will” “let’s go shopping, that’ll clear your mind” “good idea”

After shopping, Iris and I got dressed to see the client. While doing so, I said “awnn, my girl’s all grown up” I was filled with emotions. I clearly remembered the day I met iris. I was driving home after work when it suddenly started to rain. The rain was so heavy that I had to park by the side of the road. As I waited by the side of the road, I heard a faint knock on the door. I opened the door slightly and saw a girl in her teens. I looked at her with pity and let her in. when the rain finally stopped, she was fast asleep. I drove her to the hospital and had her body scanned for any illness, thankfully, there was none. When she finally woke up, I asked her “hey, you’re finally awake. What’s your name?” “Iris”, she said “wow, such a lovely name, where are your parents” “I’m an orphan” “ohh, I’m so sorry” “thank you”. From that day, I took her as my sister. Looking at her brought tears to my eyes. She came close to me and hugged me. She whispered “thank you for taking care of me”. Then I said “thank you for staying with me” we were so engrossed in the bonding that we lost track of time.
