“This village is undeveloped. It can best be described as a hamlet. No electricity, no motorable road, I wonder how on earth you find this place”, Kelvin said as the two friend drive their way carefully out of the village. Collins was carrying him in his car, It was obvious from his expression that their search was futile.
“Ma Gladys is from here, you’ve forgotten? Collins asked.
“Yes, It’s true. Your Nanny from the first day. Your second mother “, Kelvin teased but Collins was not smiling.
“Man come on, don’t tell me you’re feeling sad. We’ve been driving around this village for hours now, looking for a girl you barely know. This is harder than geography “, Kelvin said adjusting his seatbelt.
“I need to see her, I can’t just explain what is happening to me. I can’t sleep at night “, Collins said.
“Calm down Man, are you sure she is not a mermaid, you barely worry about women except your family members, why is this particular girl driving you crazy”.
“I don’t know, Kelvin. The only thing I know is that I will find her and make her mine”, Collins said while hitting the steering.
“This is really serious, I mean, more serious than I thought. Man, I need to drive that car myself before you throw us into the bush”, Kelvin said.
“I’m good, Man. I will be stopping over at my mother’s to get a file. I will be working on it tonight, Collins said changing the topic. Though Kelvin was his close friend, he felt he had said more than enough.
“I will stop at the next junction after Judi Petrol station, I will be meeting my wife at the next supermarket “, Kelvin said.
“Alright man, thanks for always coming through for me”, Collins said as he drove through the rough terrain.
