Chapter Two
In a modern and elegant house, Jada is preparing dessert with a smile that tells it all. The beautiful middle-aged woman is sure of class in her beautiful black silk dress and a neat sleek low ponytail of her curly afro.
The excitement one can hold having won a lottery is what best describes how Jada feels seeing president Miles being elected as the new president of Ocrya.
She serves dessert in the living room with a wide smile all over her face, Kenneth on the other hand is just concentrated on reading posts and comments that people share on the President's social page and then narrates them to her.
The people of Ocrya being humble accept the defeat of their preferred candidates, they barely throw nasty comments at the new president and instead congratulate him, they hardly have anything to worry about as Ocrya never experienced severe problems associated with the result of poor governance.
" Alora!" Jada shouts at the top of her lungs " Come get dessert!" she and Alora had put on bets on the winning president, and the winner will have a free spa day from the loser. Jada is excited to rub it to her face about her defeat.
She laughs right after seeing her daughter turn up in the living room with a lazy look, knowing what her mom is about to brag about.
" I know, I know... you guys won!" Alora tells her with an annoyed tone while she looks at the Tv. He doesn't deserve to be a president of her country, he is too young and looks like a model, why would he want to be a president in the first place she thought to herself.
" The first youngest president in our history, if you ask me? I am impressed" Kenneth commented "I am sure Martin must be growing some horns right now"
"Honey, wait... are you talking about Martin Lewis? the former minister of finance?" Jada asked him.
" Yeah... don't tell me you didn't know Miles Lewis is his son?" Kenneth questions her.
" You know I don't follow details, I just vote for this one because he is really attractive for a president... and his wife is stunning, my!" Jada cooed like a child
Kenneth and Alora just stared at her for acting like a teenager, then just ended up laughing at her for being so naive when it comes to politics, she rather votes for their glamourous looks and lifestyle and not what they are apt to do for the country.
" Mom, in politics looks don't matter. And his gorgeous wife does not count if she doesn't add value to his integrity and hard work" Alora explains
" I know darling, but I prefer to see them as celebrities, the rest I will leave to the people to judge" Jada just shrugged on her daughter's thoughts, she doesn't care about whether he is eligible or not.
Kenneth laughed at their interaction and just kept on watching the news about the new and youngest president in the History of Ocrya.
" My time to leave... it is getting late" Alora announces
" My free spa treatment tomorrow" Jada reminds her while eating her chocolate pudding.
" I know mom, I will take you there," Alora tells her with a sweet smile as she grabs her purse from the table near the hallway.
" Just be careful, You know it's already dark outside," Jada tells her.
" Are you sure you don't want a ride home?" Kenneth asks her seemingly concerned.
" It's just a few blocks away, I will just get a taxi Dad" Alora assures him.
" I know mom... that's why we have street lights," Alora said as she kissed her parents " And dinner was delicious by the way... you guys might wanna make me move back in with you" she smiles
" You know we are against you leaving this house all to us, but since you decided to, we respect it" Kenneth sweetly replies.
" Thanks, Dad" Alora sweetly said as she heads for the door.
