Home Alone Reloaded

Episode 15

Me n Samuel: we are coming..we said in unison. A satisfactory smile
quickly appeared on her beautiful face.

Me: so aunty Jenny, when is the party gonna start.

Jennifer: the party will start by 11pm till anytime you wanna go, maybe 6am or 5am
in the morning. Wait, hope your parents
won’t disturb you?

Me: no, I am a big boy now. I can sleep
outside.

I said while she laughed and turned to
Samuel.

Jennifer: what about you Samuel? I hope your parents won’t shout at you.

Samuel: nay they won’t.

Jennifer: very nice. Lemme continue the preparations.
She said and continued her work while me
and Samuel walked to our separate room
with a smirk on our faces.

---

I entered inside our room and my brother
was seating on the floor, eating fried yam
and was watching cartoon displaying on the
television.

Farouk: welcome brother Idris.
He quickly greeted while I answered him
and walked to my bedroom. I quickly
removed my uniform, wore a red short and
a singlet and came back to the parlor.

Me: where’s mummy?

Farouk: she has gone to shop not long ago.

He said still focusing on the cartoon he was
watching. I simply entered inside the
kitchen and opened the pots one by one.
One contained rice, the other contained
eguisi soup.

So it’s either I make eba to go with the
eguisi soup or rice, since I am not a fan of
eguisi soup, I quickly dished rice into my
plate and came back to the sitting room.

As I began to eat, my mind drifted back to
the party that will be taking place this night.
Wow, I am really glad that I will participate
in it.

But how will I use and come out of my
house by 11pm. If my dad was around, it
would have been mission impossible. But
my mum isn’t like my dad. She is an easy
going mum but she won’t allow me to come
out by 11pm.

Me: what about Samuel?
I asked still deep in thought. Samuel mum
isn’t like my mum. She is a little bit strict and
also won’t allow Samuel to come out.

This one we just agreed without even
thinking, how am I sure that we won’t
disappoint Jennifer.
