SHATTERED EPISODE 11

From the writer of

That moment when you find love, trust and honour in the eyes of everyone.
That moment when your worst enemy becomes the demon himself.
That same moment when your best moment becomes your worst nightmare.

Enjoy the thrills of how far life would sacrifice for love. Yesterday is always a shadow you can not escape, today is a dream worth living, yet tomorrow shall forever remain the wonder of nature hidden to all.

A *shattered* past in itself is a shattered tomorrow.


*SHATTERED*

EPISODE 11

It wasn't luck but favor.
Favor came to those who sought it's face. I walked side by side with the madam of the gift shop. She introduced herself as Auntie Dela. A very nice local name she's got. "I'm Dede", I said. She gave me her local name so I had to do same.
"Oow Dede! You must be a krobo then. My husband is a krobo. He's a very good man so I'm sure you are as well", she said. I smiled without saying a word. "Anyway, back to what you came to get for your friend, do you have much money to spend or you actually want to get something simple for her? I'm introducing something new today and with you being my first customer from the krobo land, I will give you special discounts on some particular items", Auntie Dela said. Hmmmm, talking of money, I had 1500.00 to spend on her. I didn't care going to get much money. I knew what I was doing. That was my best friend and she deserved the very best of gifts nature could afford to give out.

I went closer to Auntie Dede's ear and told her to get me the things. I will opt for them if only they were nice. She took me by the hand to a small room. The room looked so unkempt with ceramics and porcelain laying on the floor. There were also carved woods with saw dusts on the floor. The place was too dusty for me so I begun to cough.
"Sorry my dear. I can see you are allergic to what I'm doing", a voice said from nowhere. I got frightened and jumped up. A man who seemed to have been working tirelessly showed up with his tools. "Don't be scared angel, that is what I do here. Tell me what you want and you will get it within the next few minutes. I customise plates (be it porcelain or ceramic), silver cutlery (with or without wooden handle) and the best of it all, I make photo collages with memories. The photo collage is what takes some time,  but even that it takes less than two hours depending on what you want", he added. It seem I liked almost everything he had mentioned. I turned to Auntie Dela and smiled at her. She understood what my smiles meant. I was scared of the prices. She pointed out something on the wall to me. Those were the list of things customised there with their prices.

 I went closer to take a look at them. They were not expensive at all, besides, the things were done in sets if you so wanted it. I requested for the set of porcelain plates and cutlery with wooden handle...but, I didn't know the surname of the groom. I stood there for a while and decided to use Ma-uuda's name since it was her day. I wrote the name for him and told him to customize it nicely. I pulled out my phone, went through my gallery and got some nice old pictures of Ma-uuda and myself. Those would serve as great memories. I sent it to the man's phone through his Bluetooth and added some few ones we took not along ago. Just hoping he makes the best out of them for the collage.

I didn't want to keep long there since I had other things to buy for the wedding so I enquired if they did delivery. Auntie Dela's answer moved me, "we do delivery no matter your location. All you need to do is to make part payment and the rest will be dealt with."
Then that means I can go and buy the rest of my things, then go and rest as he takes his time to neatly design it.
