SY'RAI WELLINGTON||17
THE BBQ||SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17TH
"Sy'rai hunny can you take these to my husband, he's in the backyard" Asa asks coming towards me with a basin in her hand.
It was 1 pm and the BBQ was just starting.
Some of their family members and close friends had already arrived and I was busying myself by helping Asa in the kitchen or out in the backyard.
My phone has been going off with messages from Tareek but I was super cautious when it came down to answering because of the look Avi gave me the other night when I told her about him.

Taking the basin from her hands, I walked through the house and into the backyard to where Mr. Nasir was by the grill talking to one of his friends.
"Excuse me, your wife said to give this to you" I said shyly once I got over to where they were.
"Thanks" he says taking the basin from me and his friend stares intensely at me.
"Why yuh look suh familiar?" he then asks and I look at him confused but Mr. Nasir shakes his head at him and he drops it, looking away.
"Thanks Sy'rai" he says once more, practically dismissing me and I didn't hesitate to get away from them.
Going back inside, I saw Avi and Azani coming down the stairs.
"Finally mi find somebody, can hold him for a minute while me go do something fi Mommy cause mi nuh know weh Azai gone" she says miserably hissing her teeth.
Taking him from her hands, he smiles up at me before resting his head on my shoulder. Azai's been missing from mi glimpse him this morning but I guess just like everyone else he's somewhere getting stuff done.
"Hungry?" I asked Azani when he began sucking on his hand and he nods as we walked into the kitchen where Asa was.
"Him finally wake" she says and I nod.
Stopping what she was doing she walked over to us with a small bowl of mashed potatoes for him.
"Make him gwan munch pan this till mi finish here suh" she tells me and I go to sit around the dining table with him on my lap so I could fed him.
