She smiled and maintained a calm disposition and just as she was about responding, Samuel interrupted.  "em..madam, actually she is our new member." Samuel stated.  The woman responded with a cheerful smile.  "Wow! You really dance so well..haha! Are you sure you're not going to take over the entire city?"

                          SISI EKO. It was a very long day as Abigail tried to put up with the latest development. She had managed to feign an outstanding performance with the 'Street Dancers.' on the festival podium.  Apparently, everyone enjoyed the performance as there were loud ovations from every nook and cranny. Abigail was yet to get over the razzmatazz as she panted for breath! Whilst she was off the stage, she whispered to Samuel: "Please, what on earth just happened?" Samuel responded with another cheerful smile. "Well, I guess that was your first official 'Dance!' " He exclaimed and the other members jeered. Abigail was baffled.

"Well, meet my friends." He said. Abigail hesitated for a while before she responded. "Hello!" She said as she tried to put up a cheerful smile. Then, she thought, what was Samuel up to? As far as she was concerned, she only wanted her note pad returned and the last thing on her mind was some sort of introduction to a random group. "Hello!" They chorused as they smiled cheerfully.  "So, this is the young lady who gave the viewers a spectacular show the other day." Samuel said.  Abigail stood still for a while, She seemed lost as she looked at the group of people. She turned to Samuel who was by this time, smiling. "Well, meet my friends." He said.

SISI EKO! 📂 Samuel hesitated again, this time even much longer. After a while, he responded.   "Well, your Note pad slipped out of your bag while dancing and before I noticed, you had gone and then, I saw your name and number at the back." Samuel replied.  Abigail was taken aback. She had hardly noticed anything was missing in her bag so she quickly checked and confirmed.   "So, how do I get my Note pad? It's very important." Abigail inquired.   "Well, that's simple! Just attend the Dance Festival!" Samuel exclaimed cheerfully. Abigail breathed down. At this point she knew she had no choice.   "Okay..i will be there. Let me have the details." She responded.                  📂  Abigail was all set as she put on some perfume. She stood in front of the standing mirror and gazed upon her reflection for few seconds.

                      SISI EKO. ✍ Abigail, still held on to her handset as she tried very hard to recall the voice over the Phone. "Sorry, who is speaking?" She inquired. There was a brief silence and Abigail could perceive the hesitation. "Well, I guess you may not even remember the voice so quickly. This is Samuel." The speaker said. Still, Abigail was unable to discern. "Samuel, please your name doesn't ring a bell.." She replied. Then, the speaker laughed. "The only bell it might ring is the Fantastic Dance you showcased that evening the Dance Troup was passing by. Suddenly, Abigail could recall! It was the young man who had insisted she danced with him. "Really!? This is a surprise!" Abigail exclaimed. "Yeah! I just called to say 'Hi'." Samuel said. "Well, that's thoughtful of you." Abigail responded. "I was hoping you could attend one of our shows in a couple of Days...

"Papa, you seem to find it amusing that you no longer have pile." Abigail said, quite curiously. Her father took a spoon full of hot pepper soup and swallowed carefully. "Look, my princess, I am aware." He replied as he gulped a glass of water, almost immediately. "How you come take know say you no get pile and you no even tell any body?" Abigail's Mother queried.
