In the morning, the heavens opened and it began to rain. Bella grabbed her umbrella to get to school, as she walked out of the hostel the first
One cold morning, Nuella came downstairs to sweep. As she was sweeping, a boy stood behind watching her. His name was Munir. He was the only child of his parents who were fortunate to
be tenants in Chief Willie's house. His parents were illiterate traders. Their illiteracy was not their fault; it was because they had no opportunity to go to school during their young age due to poverty. For that reason, now they had became parents and wealthy as well, they vowed to give their son sound education.It was Munir's first day of seeing Nuella, so he was seriously staring at her in admiration. He approached her, "my name is Munir and I live here with my parents if you don't mind I will like to know your name," said Munir. She was so shy that she couldn't look at him, not even a glance. She kept quiet for a while and wanted to continue with her sweeping, but Munir insisted to know her name with curiosity.
When Nuella had got tired with his pestering she responded and queried "my name is Nuella and why do you ask?" "Because I think we can be friends. I guess you must be a relative to the landlord," he said "mm, you must be a good guesser and I like it. But as you can see I am busy now," she rudely replied.
That same day, Rose was upstairs watching people as they passed. When she saw Munir coming into the compound, she felt remorse for how she treated him indifferently in the morning. Rose called him by his name and asked him to come up. Munir was afraid to go up at first, due to the landlord, but later went up with courage because of his predilection for her. He had eagerly anticipated the day they would become friends.
She sincerely apologized to him for what had happened between them in the morning. She felt guilty that Munir would have been affronted by her rudeness earlier. To Munir the embarrassment was nothing to him because he didn't expect it to be easy, for he understood girls and their "hard-to-get game". Neither did he expect her to be so cheap. He spoke with Wisdom and boldness. "You are smart and I love people who are intrepid, she complimented. His head swelled as he said, "thank you". Nuella despised morons and cowards. They discovered that they had the same philosophy of life.
