Orphans

11

It's the weekend. Saturday is here.

It's a Saturday morning and she calls Nadi and Darina to the living room.

The two women sit on the couch and look at her.

She announces, "There's someone I need you to meet today. We are going to meet her in the afternoon. After lunch. At 3 pm..."

"Who?" Nadi's face expresses her skepticism

Darina's face beams, "Is it your grandparents?"

Elica smiles from her chair with her legs crossed over as she looks at them.

"It's a surprise"

They arrive at their meeting location at 14:45 pm, fifteen minutes earlier, courtesy of Elica, who made sure they were not late knowing how Anabela is about tardiness.

They are meeting at a botanical garden just outside of town. A beautiful place that showcases it's beautiful plants and flowers.

"How does my hair look?" Nadi asks for the tenth time today... her emotions a mixture of little nerves and excitement. She has a feeling she's going to meet someone she really likes... she wouldn't be surprised if Beyonce was the person they are meeting today... with Elica, nothing is out of possibility. Like how she sent her seventy thousand in her account last week and how she increased Darina's pay by 50%. When she asked her about it, she told her that she got a huge promotion and large bonus at work. What a truly hardworking woman... she deserves it and she is so lucky to have someone like Elica in her life, Nadi thinks to herself.

Darina is dressed in cute snuggly jeans and a floral cropped shirt. Nadi on the other hand is dressed in a stylish pink dress that reaches midthigh, revealing her smooth beautiful thighs which distract Elica whenever she glances their way. She Elica- is dressed in her usual casual tomboy look, distressed jeans, a stylish white roundneck t-shirt tucked in, a chain around her neck and white sneakers.

"This place is sooo beautiful... we cannot leave without taking pictures of the scenary..." Darina gushes

They find a table and settle down. At 14:54 Anabela pulls up in her yellow jeep and Elica feels fluttering in her belly.

Nadi and Darina turn their heads to look at the yellow jeep.

"Oooo... that's the baddest jeep I've ever seen..." Darina admires the car.

"Yeah, it's quite a nice colour..." Nadi agrees.

From the driver's seat emerges gold strapped high heels. Next, a pair of creamy beautiful fair skinned legs. Both Nadi and Darina's eyes are glued to the car waiting to see the person who will emerge from the car.

A sarong knee length dark green skirt, a white halter top that reveals pale fair skinned arms and a hand carrying a gold small bag.

"Wow..." Nadi admires the woman when she finally sees her beautiful face... she looks so elegant and exudes so much grace.

Damn... Elica thinks to herself... that's my Queen...

"She's walking towards our table??" Darina whispers

Nadi looks at Elica, Elica can't tear her eyes away from Anabela. 

Anabela slowly walks up towards  them. She has a small smile on her face masking the knots she feels in her belly and the way her heart is beating erratically against her chest.

Her smile involuntarily widens as she gets closer towards their table. She has never seen their pictures, but she knows Nadi is the cutie in a pink dress and the beautiful dark skinned woman in Darina for sure...
