Completeness

Chapter 29

Turning on the ignition, the car was so quiet one could hardly hear the engine. The very slight vibration and the lighting of the dashboard gave the indication that its engine was running. Michael let in the clutch and the car actually glided out through the open gate. They passed a very neatly dressed game keeper who wished them a nice day.

Thirty minutes later found them in the University grounds and hugging their friends who had come to witness the grand day. Alice was afloat with excitement. Purity and Timothy strutted around showing off their well matching attire. Purity in navel blue skirt suit and Timothy in the same coloured suit and beautifully matching shoes but on the arrival of Peter and his team, Timothy and Purity had to admit they paled tremendously against the new arrivals.

The graduation went on with much cheering and howling after all the graduates received their awards in various disciplines.

Mary was extremely surprised to see her General Manger in her Auditing firm being honoured with a Phd.

“John, I didn’t that you were studying?” When they finally got together after the ceremonies. “And you didn’t

“I didn’t find it necessary to make a fuss over nothing as my work never interrupted my studies.

John Katana was a good looking very neat young man going thirty years. He had joined Marys firm some eight years back just after completing his first degree in financial accounting. He got his masters fours later being delayed by the need to settle down in terms of acquiring a house and a car. He was still single and believed that marriage life was not his unless he was to meet an angel that would bowl him over his feet.

“So are ready to settle down with a woman now?” Michael asked him as him placed him arm on his shoulders.

“No sir am thinking of officially becoming a monk.”

That statement alarmed not just Peter and the rest of the group but also the close by people.

“What do you have against women?” Naomi asked in wonder.

“It’s a long story.”

“We have a long night as are expected to join us at my place for that’s where we are all going.” MrOmollo said as we joined the group followed by his family.

“Where were you guys when we needed you?” Michael complained.

“Watching from afar, you guys were having so much fun with your friends that we didn’t want to interfere. Furthermore we will have you the whole night long and the week if possible.” Mrs Omollo added. She did not look one year above 25 years. The simple but expensive dress she had on brought out her beauty and figure extremely well. Naomi wondered whether people had come for graduation ceremony or a beauty pageant.

“Naomi, you guys look cool in your gowns, we should start on those pictures as am starving.” Dennis commented.

“Trust him to think with his stomach, though he has a point.” His sister joked

“Where is Alice? She was seated a few seats in front of us and since I saw her going to answer her phone, I haven’t seen her gain?” Naomi asked.

“Neither have I” Added Peter. “She have gotten lost or abducted” He joked.

“Not funny at all.” Naomi reprimanded her husband. 

“Was not meant to be funny. Getting lost can be embarrassing.” Countered Peter.

“Still not funny.” She still insisted.

“Hi you love birds, could leave the fighting till you go back to the coast.” Mary admonished the two.
