FIVE SCARS OF OLIVA

Chapter 21

The next morning, I went out to talk to a receptionist if she knew someone who was selling a house and luckily she had her brother doing that business. I asked her to make arrangements for me to meet him in person and talk about the house. Meanwhile, I spoke to my mother's doctor and told him that money is ready so he should give us an appointment.

Later in the evening I heard a knock on the door, it was the receptionist telling me that her brother will meet me in the evening. I thanked her and informed my mother to get ready.. we had to go together of course. We got ready and went to the meeting area, thank God it was at the same hotel.

"Oh! Oliva, you are here.." the receptionist called me.. "Uhm..this is my brother Nickson, please meet him.." she said with a bright smile

"Hi Nickson, I'm Oliva.. Its nice to meet you" I said like a pro

"Beautiful Oliva.. it is nice to meet you too" he stood up to shake my hand

"By the way.." I turned to look at the receptionist.. "I wish I knew your name"

"Oh! Justa, my name is Justa Byera" she responded with a bright smile

"Thank you.. I really like you" I said and she smiled even brighter

"I like you as well.. please have a nice moment" she said and left

I sat down to start a meeting with Mr. Nickson. He is a handsome fairly black gentleman and has a very innocent smile... lets forget about his basketball body for a moment

"So, can we proceed please?" he started

"Yes.. and by the way.. this is my sweet mother, please meet her" I said before beginning the meeting

"Good evening mom.. its great to meet you" he greeted her with a smile

"My pleasure dear" my mother responded

"So, what kind of houses do you sell?" I asked

Nickson did his best to explain the cost, the type of the houses he was selling, he even showed us the photos of the houses. My mother did not miss a chance to stare at all the houses without a choice. I picked one beautiful house which had a huge swimming pool and a great garden.. I really liked the house and thank God my mom liked it. Nickson gave me the date to survey the house and pay for it, I selected the next day and we all agreed. I wanted a car as well, so I asked him to make arrangements for it as well since his company was dealing with car sales as well.

"Thank you so much Mr. Nickson.. I enjoyed the meeting" I thanked him as we finished the meeting

"I enjoyed too.. I'm sorry it was a bit of time consuming" he said

"No worries, it was worth it.." I replied bravely with a smile and shook hands with him

The rest of the day went fast, that night my mother narrated funny stories about my past and we laughed a lot. We decided against the sad ones and tried had to really forget the past, I fell asleep peacefully and I could feel my mother's warm arms around me.

The next morning I woke up feeling so energized and I immediately received a call from the hospital, they gave me the appointment for my mother's surgery and I could not stop feeling lucky. In the afternoon I met Nickson for the house survey together with my mom, the house was more beautiful in person than in picture and we approved it with no doubt.

"Wow.. this house is breathtaking mom, do yo like it?" I asked with a smile

"Yes dear.. I like it more" this woman is always lovely

"Mr. Nick.. when are we supposed to come to our house?" I teased

"Any day.." he responded

"You mean.. even tomorrow?" I teased again

"Of course" he assured

"Stop kidding, I'm serious" I tried to act serious

"I'm serious too" he responded

I could really not wait to live in the city, in our own house.. I was beyond excited because we were not living in the hotel room anymore. The rest of the day passed by so fast and finally the golden day came.

I woke up earlier than mom and packed our stuff properly before calling Mr. Nickson to get ready as well, I woke my mother up and went to take shower. We prepared ourselves and left the hotel room to our new home
