Chapter 2

They used almost four hours to train. I monitored the type of training they had and at times I could feel my body was shaking as if I was part of them. In no time they were dispersed to return in the evening. I couldn’t get up but wait for some time.

Strangely, I realized that Baba Moore was walking towards the direction I was sitting. I turned to look at my back if someone was there. I started shivering in panic as he was walking majestically heading towards me. Actually, his facial expression didn’t show that he was infuriated. Baba Moore was a strong man judging from his personal appearance.

I thought it wise to run away before it was too late. Baba Moore was not somebody one can joke with and I thought he was coming to punish me because I had watched all his training techniques and he felt cheated.

Just as I stood up he pointed at me with a frown face and shouted on top of his voice that I should meet him. I had no option so I walked to meet him with my hand crossed at my back as a sign of respect.

Baba having detected that I was shivering asked me why I was afraid of him. Do you know that you have done something wrong? He asked. I responded in negation to his question and he continues enquired from me why I was shivering as if he was going to kill me.

I couldn’t open my mouth just looked at him. He asked why I had spent almost four hours watching their training and not taking part. With my infectious smile, I said I was very interested but I couldn’t raise the registration fee.

He looked at me closely and asked my name. Haven't told him my name he looked at me and asked if I could file movie posters and banners in the city for him. I responded affirmatively and he said he can see from my face and reactions that I can file them.

Finally, he led the cat out of the bag that he has some work he wanted me to do for him. He continues to say that if I do the work to his satisfaction he would give me the opportunity to be part of his Karate group. With my infectious smiles, I said I was ready.

He burst into laughter as he said 5000 posters and 500 banners can you file them? I sad I was ready to file them.

I didn’t think about anything. He led me to his BMW car opened the boot and pulled out 2000 copies for me to start. I didn’t say anything as I watched him drive away. I was totally confused because I had no means to file the posters. I had no painting brush and glue and even transportation.

A few minutes later as I was pondering on what to do Baba drove back to me rolled down his window glass and without wasting time he handed over 200 dollars to me. I smiled and thanked him. As soon as I got the money, I planned where to start from. I was so excited with the money in my pocket and decided to file the posters single-handedly.
