WALK THROUGH WALLS

THIRTEEN

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you know that you are about to beg a stone to become edible Cake or you know you are wrong but the mistake doesn't seem that huge but the person you wronged is so angry that you feel guilty by force so much that your heart hurts so much, your brains have stopped working and you head is banging so much that you feel like fainting but you know that even if you faint, the remedy might be getting boiling water poured on you?  That is what I felt at the moment I entered the room. Kai was on his bed, ear plugs in his ears while his stereo system was turned up loud.

I was glad at this moment that I never waited for him to usher me into his room. Kai was laying on his bed with his eyes closed. He was facing the ceiling. Looking at him was like looking at a stranger because I have never seen this side of his. He even made me scared to death. I approached him and just looked at him, while cooking up a story to break the ice in the room.

" Beloved Kai, mambo!"  I greeted him in Swahili," by the way mama said hi to you. She misses you so much. She even swore that if you three don't look for a day to visit her in Kenya, then she will curse you when she dies and then make sure to come as a ghost and haunt you crazy." This made him sit up straight and look at me," aaah nawe Kai, now you want to show me that you are all grown up and you can just throw a tantrum before guest and walk away like nothing happened ha!"
" Lensah it is not like that siz, I am angry that you never told me about the auditions. Yesterday when drinking at the bar why didn't you tell me. I thought amongst us your brothers I was your favourite"
" Don't be angry beloved, I knew that I was going to tell you today. I am sorry for the delay. it is just that I have had so many things in my mind that I kinda forgot to tell you but I will make it up to you and tell you my entire that started on Friday when I landed at the Incheon international airport."

And with that, I spent my time telling him about my visit. It took like an hour to calm Kai down. I even had to bribe him by promising to cook him his favourite dish, roasted duck. Afterwards we went to help out with the cooking. At this time, Mark and the rest had already gone back to the kitchen to help out with the cooking.  It was fun and enjoyable because, Jackson took it upon himself to entertain us with his rapping and dancing. It didn't take long before Jimin and Felix came back with Cai Xukun. Jimin helped him settle down in one of the room before coming back to help with the cooking.

" So Lensah, you told us how you met Jackson and Felix. How did you meet Bambam and Mark?"  Jimin asked while chopping cabbages.
" I don't know how he met Felix." Jackson complained.
" They met because of church." Mark explained. " As for me, we met in Kenya during one of our family vacations at the Kenyan coast."
" This is serious. You have gone to Kenya and we haven't gone there yet we call each other siblings. Kai, Jimin, this should be in our to do list when we don't have any activities ok." Tae said
" That's a good idea Tae. I know that mama and Baba  will be glad that we have gone to visit them." Kai said.
" True. And at last I will see my beloved daughter Asenah." Jimin added.
" You two have a child?" Bambam asked
" Yes, we are two children in our family. I am the eldest and Asenah is the youngest." Cai answered." Please uncle Tae, when you plan that trip, add me to the list."
" Ok little Cai. We will take you along." Tae answered.
"Mark continue. We have to hear about this." Jackson said.
" Ok, so we met at Diani beach. One of the best white sand beaches in the world. " Mark said
Seriously, is that how you tell people about our meeting Tuan. Remember that I saved you. You should be even worship the ground that I walk on ." I said
" Please Lensah, tell the story. I think you know him, he just love torturing us when he knows that we are interested with something." Jackson said, walking next to me.
" Ok then. So Mark and his family were walking along the beach. I was behind them. They were speaking Portuguese so I could understand them. Then Tuan offered to go and buy them coconut water. I was going there also. When I reached the vendor, I had him conning than into buying one for five hundred shillings so I pretended to be his girlfriend and put off the vendor who sold him one at fifty shillings. After that, we walked away speaking in Portuguese. It was there that I learnt that he was from Taiwan but was born in America. I also learnt that was to go and train in South Korea to be a K-pop artist. I told him that I was also from South Korea. We promised each other to keep in touch, exchanged our Facebook accounts and e-mail addresses and since then, we have been close. I was happy that he succeeded in his dream of being a K-pop artist."
" Wow. Mark you are selfish. This is the best story ever. Especially where you wanted to buy a coconut water for five hundred shillings and yet with that much money you could get ten coconut waters." Jackson teased Mark who was now embarrassed." And what about Bambam."
" I was skping with Tuan and Bambam happened to be passing by then he saw me and started asking me so many questions making Tuan give us time to chat. I was happy that he was from Thailand so I learnt Thai language and he became my teacher. Since then anytime we chat, we use Thai. Through him,I became friends with the famous beautiful Thai actor Saint." I said. " But it has been long since we chatted last because of his many commitments thus he has even forgotten me, just imagine."
" Bambam,how can you forget Lensah. I think she is the only confusing person in your life." Jackson said, while walking away from me.
" If you are courageous enough to say that, why are you walking away?" I asked Jackson while holding a knife.

Mark and Bambam started to laugh while the rest just looked at the drama that was about to unfold before them.
