" Sir, how do you see this tuxedo?" I looked up and I trailed the design with my eyes, it was black in colour. I had similar suits and I did not want to repeat the same design.
" Give me a grey one, I prefer that colour to black"
I carried my suit in a package and entered my car. I became unsettled when I heard children shouting out on the top of thier voices.
Nancy
A stranger approached us while we were waiting for mom, mom always said that I behaved like the responsible one so I decided to take up the stand and protect my younger brothers by confronting the bad man.
" How many times do I have to tell you, your momsi told me to come picks you up." He screamed at me and I could feel rains of spit drop down my face. I closed my eyes and I asked myself…don't allow fear to control you, what would mommy do, what would Jesus do?
"I do not see any proof or evidence that you were instructed by her to pick us up and you only found our names because it was written on our ID's"
" sir like my sister said, we are not going anywhere with you." Nelson said with his cool voice that he usually used during story telling. He stared into the strangers eyes and did not bat an eye. He had no fear in his eyes and he stood upright. My brother was amazing. This is exactly how mommy would behave. Yes!
I coughed and pushed him back gently. I did not want him to steal the spotlight away from me. I noticed that he had put his hands in his pocket. Maybe he was tired of pestering us and decided to go find someone's else's children to deceive. Oh I wish I had my tablet, I would have called the police like mommy had taught me too. It was the perfect opportunity to be petted on my head again. Telling her about my practical application would definetly make mother proud of me.
But there was no phone, I had to be very wise about it.
He was still reaching out to something in his hand when Nathan had come around and held me down alongside Nelson.
" Hey! Do-do don't you think that the man wants to brig out something dangerous?" Nathan said in an almost silent whisper.
" looks like, the street is empty and attacking us little children would be easy for him. I have watched so many movies like these. It doesn't end well." Nelson said a little bit more loudly than Nathan.
"I don't know but what I know is that our father in heaven will help and save us just like he did in countless of mommy's testimonies. You all agree with me right?"
" I do big sister, God will help us. Jesus please send help" Nathan said,I nodded slowly to what he had said. My mind was focused on the fact that he called me a big SISTER.. I don't know if it was him trying to flatter me but it made me feel good. I looked at Nelson he wasn't even involved in the conversation. He was keeping an eye on the stranger who was still searching for something in his bag.
"I think we all have to move carefully and run, what do you think nancy?"Nelson suggested.
" Oh yes, lets move on the count of one.."
Nathan had already sprinted and we could not call him back cause it made the bad man alert. We followed suit and ran as fast as we could. When we though that the whole street was empty, we saw a black car move. Nelson, ferociously went in front of the car while it had bearly moved
It came to a soon halt. Oh no why did he do that I nearly threw up my heart. I held my hand on my chest and I became restless.
I screamed " please help us!! A stranger is trying to harm us!!!!"
Thane
I was watching a scene of three children who were as tall as my knees arguing with a man that seemed rather decent. In a polo and blue jeans with eye glasses on. He shaved his hair and he had a nice posture.
Could he be their dad? Wow! I smiled and laughed out, the thought turned my tommy a bit.
"God's time is the best time" I repeated to myself.
For minutes, him and the children were arguing about something. It was funny this children were in a world of his own and the man talking to them was in his. I wonder what they were talking about. I waved it aside and I turned on my car to head home. I needed to feel the soft droplets of water on my face and sleep then start off for work tomorrow.
Before I could fix my gaze on the dash board, I saw one of thee children in the middle of the road standing to block my view.
" please help us, we are being harassed by a stranger."
Oh so that was what was happening when they had been talking with the man. I got out of my car.
" Why would you not let this children be?"
" I was instructed by their mother, to pi…pi.." The man could not look me in the eyes. could sense guilt and before I could throw him another question, his feet started moving with tremendous speed, running like marathon racer who was close to the finish line. I could beat him at that game.
That finish line, we will get there together. I sprinted off and I tried catching him. I could hear the children cheering me up.
