“Sit, sit my boy,” he had welcomed him warmly while pulling out a stool from under the counter.
Today Simon settled himself on the same stool behind the counter, helped himself to a samousa, whose spicy taste made his eyes water and began to tell Mr Naidoo about his new friends.
“One girl, Talia, is from South Africa, and the other girl Maha is from…I don’t know where,” he began while Mr Naidoo listened and continued to serve customers. While he was talking, he was interrupted by the ring of his mobile phone and knew that it would be his mother, who called him every day at the same time to check that he was safely home.
“Nearly home,” he lied.
“Well hurry up!” she responded grumpily. He could detect the impatience in her voice and knew with certainty that it would be hours before she would finally arrive home from work, bringing with her takeaway for their dinner. He shoved the phone into his pocket and turned his attention back to Mr Naidoo, “As I was saying…” and helped himself to another samousa.
