BALLERINA

By 11:14
It's been seventeen minutes since Bryan got to his friend's house. He has fed his eyes with assorted pictures of Kunle's family hanging on the Mauve painted wall. At the right side of the wall,as entrance is gained into the sitting room,is the picture of Mr Adebayo's convocation gown. His eyes still glistening with excitement and exuding pride and fulfilment. The pale tawny picture is clasped in a sparsely porous mahogany frame. Next to it is Mrs Adebayo's, more recent than the former only that the bottom left of the picture is holding three broken pieces of glass. Her's is full of a warm inviting smile her hat and gown were overflowing the young skinny graduate.
On the opposite wall are five framed enlarged photographs. The first,counting from left,is the picture of a skinny looking baby with beautiful glowing eyeballs. She looks distracted and has only one earring on her left ear. Next to that is a baby smiling relentlessly with '' I'm coming to get you'' expression written all over him...
