He pressed the start button, typed
the machine from hibernation and resumed with the coursework. She sat on
the bed with a hand mirror applying shades of red and re aligning the
arcs above her eyes.
“You don’t even need any make up, besides it’s not like you are going out on a date”, he said this as he inserted page numbers.
“Owaye, bulungi kwefaako, you have to keep the cake hot” she laughed and it sounded like a ring of Christmas carols
He checked his offline thesaurus and replaced the word “lien” with “claim”. He read the leading judgment from the case of Lynn & Main Incorporated against the Naidoos, thought about quoting the ratio decidendi but decided to paraphrase. “ I have even made yours better than mine, hope you don’t beat me”
“Tell me I don’t deserve it, you think the last few minutes were cheap?”
“Pari...maateerai...( he typed as he spelt)...Emphasis on few” he winked at her and she just smiled. "Perfecto dentilitis" such a term must exist somewhere, he thought!
“We both know who should carry that cross. Anyhow, unlike you guys, we just have to …. Our…. And get things done”, she rubbed off a stray scarlet line at the edge of the mouth.
He looked at her with a pinch of empathy. At that time when Adam slept, The hand had picked out the best rib, sewed it with the finest tapestry of sinews and draped it with a flow of smooth brown skin. Her skeleton did not over reach its province and the extensions properly utilized their liberty in proper quantities and at opportune places. Was she heading to the airtime seller, the KFC manager or the gatekeeper?
Most of his friends teased him to be a chapatti and rolex “siika”, or worse a man from jigger ville. He thought himself lucky to have something to offer to someone like Maggie and get a bite off the cherry in return. He felt his conscience come crashing down his spine and jerked out of the stare.
“Return to sender” he said handing the flash disk to Maggie
“It’s nice doing business with you”
“ Pleasure’s all mine. Neera, neera”
