'Ding dong! ', the bell rang.
Vanzy move forward to the door, open the door, which revealed little Dazzy, Clitche's younger sister.
'Am I welcome here? ', she asked, standing akimbo.
'Yes, you are '
Dazzy walk in and sat on one of the couches.
'You got a nice couch and sea interior designs here. I love it '.
'I think we've met before. You look familiar ', Vanzy said, ignoring her comments.
'Yes, we have. I was the one that bumped into you two days ago. Can't believe you don't have lasting memory about me'
'Oh! I remember now. So, why are you here? Is it to apologise or what? '
'Well, actually I'm not here to apologise '
'What's your mission here then? '
'I come to verify something '
'Something?', asked Vanzy, sitting on the couch opposite hers.
'Yes, something '
'What is that? '
'They told me that you're dangerous '
'Who told you that? '
'You don't need to know that. (she paused) You get something I can eat? '
'Vegetables'
'Vegetables? '
'Yes. And milk'
'OK. Let me have milk. You get any movie to watch?'
'It has been stored in the laptop '
'Let me have that too. '
'It's right in front of you'
'My hand can't reach it '
'Stand up and pick it up'
'I will take my leave now if you don't hand it over to me', Dazzy said in a serious tone.
'(click his tongue) This is it', stretching the laptop to her.
'No, place it on the table. Let me have the milk now'
*(kiss his teeth) I wish I had known this before I open the door*, he thought.
'You're talking to me? '
'Oh no!, not you'

'Where is this girl since morning? Where could she be? ' Anny, Dazzy's Granny asked no one in particular, while going to and fro in the room.
'Gran, I've not seen her. I've gone to the houses she could be, but they all said they haven't seen her since morning. I'm tired of all this. Can't you just tie her down? I think that will save us from searching for her all the time ', Clitche ranted.
'Where could she be by this time of the day?. This is some minutes past seven'
'And if I get hold of her. If I get hold of Dazzy, I will beat the hell out of her. I will beat... '
'Who do you want to beat? I hope I didn't miss the fight. ' Dazzy interjected, sitting on a couch, beside her Gran.
'Dazzy,where were you since morning? ', Anny queried.
'Oh Gran, you can't believe how the guy treated me. I told you not to believe in hear-say. You told me he is dangerous. I went to his house to confirm, and he is of the opposite. He is generous, sweet and to crown it all, he is handsome. I know that's your type sis', she winked at her sister.
'Just keep that your tiny mouth shut, Dazzy. Who's the guy you're with since morning? ', Anny queried
'How can you forget that so soon? The guy living in the fourth house '
'What? ', the duo exclaimed in unison.
'Hope you didn't tell him you're living in this compound? ', Clitche asked.
'I told him that and also you're my sister . I remember what Gran told me about the consequences of lying to an elderly person. So I decided to tell him the truth '
'How could you....? I'm going to beat the hell out of you right now. Wait for me! Help me to hold her, Gran, she mustn't move an inch there'.
She stood up from where she sat, chasing Dazzy.
