Chapter 1: she is the one
SHE IS THE ONE
EPISODE 1
One Sunday afternoon, on his way back home from church, Dan told his driver to stop at the market because he wanted to buy some fruits.
Mr. Joel stooped the car, then Dan rolled down the glass windows of his car. Women and children who were hawking fruits ran to the window to persuade him to buy the fruits from them. Dan bought some mangoes from an old mama who was just seated in the sun, she was too old to run from one car to the next, Dan sent Joel to buy all the mangoes she was having. He also bought some oranges from a middle-aged school kid who was not in school maybe because it was on a Sunday.
When they were about to take off, a young, beautiful lady arrived with some bananas in a small basin.
" Twenty bob banana, twenty bob banana." She kept shouting while approaching the car.
When she reached the car, she stopped shouting and went close to the window. Joel started the car engine to drive off but Dan told him to wait.
" Good afternoon sir, we have sweet bananas here at 20 shillings only." She said to Dan.
Dan didn't hear what she said, he was in his own world. Dan kept staring at the lady without saying anything, he seemed so confused and shocked, his thoughts were past bananas the lady was carrying on her head.
The lady thought Dan was looking down upon her and was not interested in her bananas since Dan was not even talking to her. She decided to go away.
"Excuse me Madam, how much for bananas?" Dan called her back. Mr. Joel started laughing, he had never seen Dan that confused before.
"Twenty bob for three banana pieces sir." The lady replied.
"How much all of them?" Dan asked.
"Sir, are you sure you want all of them?" She asked.
"Is it a crime if I take all of them?" Dan asked.
"No sir, you can have them all if you wish. That should be 200 shillings but I will give you a discount of 20 shillings for taking all of them, sir." She replied.
Dan told her to put them in a carrier bag, then he took out one thousand shillings from his wallet and gave it to the lady.
"Keep change," Dan told the lady then they drove off.
They drove for about 10 minutes without talking to each other in the car, Joel kept looking at him in the mirror, Dan was so restless and confused in the car.
"Sir, are you alright? You seem so uncomfortable back there." Joel asked him.
"I don't know Joe, I can't explain how I feel," Dan replied.
Dan used to call his driver Joe, not Joel, he was very friendly to him, they respect each other very much, Joel was older than him so Dan respected him like a father, Joel, on the other hand, gave him maximum respect as his boss.
"You will figure it out soon enough sir. This is the first time I heard you telling someone to 'keep change', that was so kind of you." Joel started laughing at him.
"Please don't start it, Joe, I don't know what you are talking about, today is Sunday and we are from church remember," Dan replied laughing.
"Copy that sir, just know that I will always be there when you need any help," Joel replied.
"Can we please talk about something else? Who was the best friend to Jesus Christ? I wanted to ask pastor that question but I forgot." Dan replied.
They both laughed so loud in the car as they approached the gate.
When they got home, they found his Mom and Dad sitting on the veranda. Dan got out of the car then carried the bag with the fruits to the house. His parents were shocked because Dan had never gone back home with a bag full of fruits.
"Son, what is going on? Were they giving out fruits in the church today?" His mother asked.
"No mom, I bought them at Ndori market," Dan replied.
"I have not checked the meal timetable, are we taking only fruits for lunch today?" His father asked humorously.
