According to Arthur´s request, George had made reservations for dinner at a very sophisticated restaurant. It was going to be a couples-only night.
Mandy was looking forward to trying the pilau that they served there. It is a very popular Kenyan dish served at social gatherings and consists of rice cooked in a deliciously flavored broth with meat, vegetables, or chicken. There was a variety of spices to be chosen to make it still more flavorful.
The night was going to be romantic because there was going to be live music for slow dancing and Mandy decided to use a gown that had small flowers hand-painted on it.
Rebecca and Carol were going to use social clothes too because that dinner demanded them.
Marie and Makena were not joining them for the evening due to their previous engagement. Chiumbo and Barasa were supposed to pick them up and take them to a birthday party where other young people would gather to eat, dance and be happy.

Gray was feeling defeated. They were entering the last week of the trip and all of her efforts of seducing Arthur had been to no avail. Between George´s and Akinyi´s interferences, she hardly even saw him. She had become a babysitter for those two brats and a personal masseuse to the impertinent old lady. George also kept her busy with monotonous tasks that kept her away from the group even at mealtimes. But she would not give in. She started planning strategies for when they were back at the mansion. Then Akinyi wouldn´t be able to interfere anymore. Gray was so fed up with that woman that she decided to ensure that Akinyi never set foot at Arthur´s place again, once she was his wife. Because she was certain to succeed in her plan. Arthur would no be the first billionaire man to have a divorce. She hoped that he had a good prenuptial agreement since she cared more about the assets than the man himself. Carol could work for a living again. She seemed to enjoy

Even when Brian had classes, Steph would just go with him and sit by his side, absorbing his world.They sat together for meals which included Alice and some other of Brian´s friends. But what Steph most liked was to take walks with him and sit under his favorite tree where they had met. That was the place for their long talks about everything.Steph told him some fun facts about her tour and Brian insisted that she sang all of her songs for him. She did it because he loved them and she was happy to share her love for music with the love of her life.Then Brian told her about his life at school,“When I first arrived here, Steph, I still hadn´t accepted fully that my sight was gone for good.

Chapter 131 – Mission accomplished
Brian and Steph talk about all their feelings now that they are back together. They know they must share their hopes and dreams, but also their fears if they want things to work out this time. So they share many thoughts and memories while they cuddle and kiss one another. Brian talks very close to her ear and those whispers are like a caress to her. Indeed, it was what he intended and she is quick to learn how to do the same thing. The possibility of senses reveals itself to her and if Brian touches her face as a way of seeing her, Steph does the same to him, as a way of expressing her love for him.“Do you remember when we were little and you told me that since I was going blind, I should go out and experience seeing everything?”“Of course I do, Brian. I remember everything.”“Well it may have seemed childish at the time, but due to some natural instinct you had by then, because of those outings, I could build what specialists ca
Chapter 132 – Lions and cubs
Since Louis had an enormous interest in lions, Arthur decided to take the group to a reserve of lions that opened to visitation. This way they all could have a closer look at the magnificent ‘king of the jungle’. He had chosen a place that was the regular feeding and breeding place called ‘Kenya lion farm’. “Wow, they sure are different from my parent´s farm.” Carol was surprised to see so many lions in the different pens. This was not an agricultural place, indeed. The farmer survived selling the lions to zoos or even to other breeders. After they had watched the workers of the farm feed the huge lions, it was time to learn some facts about these predators. “You can tell how old a lion is by the color of his mane. The darker the mane is, the older the lion will be. Male lions have frequent fights with other males, and that is one of the reasons that they evolved those thick, long manes. It is a way to protect their necks during those fights.” The pro

Together they had witnessed the most beautiful sunsets, had watched zebras and giraffes wandering through the vast and beautiful lands of their ancestors. They learned that it was possible to interact with some of the most ferocious animals on earth without causing them any harm and in the same way not being threatened by their existence. As an additional prize, they could admire the majestic Kilimanjaro mount that seemed to invite them for the next visit. For all those reasons and many more, it was just natural for the group to make many toasts during their dinner and dance afterward to the alluring Afrikan rhythms that had become so familiar to them by now.
