A tap on the back reminded Benlo that he was actually waiting for somebody at the supermarket. He turned with a smiling face to see Jasper behind him.
"Why were you staring at the bus, and why are you smiling?"
"Lora just entered the bus" Benlo began to stroll again followed by his friend whose face looked worried wondering who Lora was.
"Who is Lora, bro?"
"Lora is a girl who told me her name is Lora" Benlo replied smiling at his own words.
Jasper smiled along. "You have a way of making friends, and girls fall for you easily"
"Yes, actually, she fell before me with her items"
"She did?"
"Yes"
"But that isn't the type of falling I'm talking about"
"That's your own cup of tea"
"You know what i mean, silly boy!" Jasper gave him a friendly punch and both laughed together.

Benlo was a cool and gentle guy with an amazing talent of art. He can draw the exact image of anything he sees or thinks. His parents weren't rich neither were they poor.
He arrived home that evening, went into his room and banged the door behind him. There was a large image of a blue river on the wall which he drew and painted by himself. He placed his two hands on the waist staring at it. "Why do i have this feelings that this river exist?" he thought moving closer to it. As he stared at it, tears dropped down from his eyes but he wiped it off instantly and turned to see his door opened by his father, Mr Livinus. He wore a medicated eyeglasses, a singlet and a pair of trouser. He also stared at the image on the wall. "Benlo?"
"Yes, father"
"Can you tell me why you choose to have this particular image hanging at every angle of your room?"
"I don't know, father" Benlo sat on the edge of the bed taking a glance at the image again. He couldn't bear how he felt, so he stood up to the image again and turned to his father with all seriousness. "Father, i have feeling that this river is someone"
"Where?" the father passed him to wall touching the image and feeling the texture of the material.
"I don't know but.."
"No but" the father interrupted. "Anything you don't know doesn't exist" he walked towards the door but turned again. "Your mother just served dinner. See you at the dining table" he walked out.

The day had become dark when Lora arrived home. She met her grandfather sitting in front of the house, greeted him and entered into the local house. There was an electricity that generated light energy which illuminated the interior and exterior part of the building.
Sarah jumped up for joy when she saw her elder sister. She collected a bag from her inside their room coz they shared only one room while the grandfather had his own room.
"How was business today, Lora?" Sarah asked bringing out provisions from the bag while her sister began to undress. She was two years older than Sarah.
"Fine" she replied without looking back then began to unbutton her bra.
As Sarah went through the bag, she saw the paper Benlo gave Lora. She stared at it silently coz that was the exact image of the blue river she always thought about. When the quietness lingered, Lora turned to see her with the paper. "What are you doing with that!" she forcefully collected it from her.
Sarah became speechless staring at her sister surprisingly. She had not disclosed to her about her new develop thinking attitude of a blue river and she wasn't ready to do so. Therefore she asked, "Lora. Where did you get that?"
"Someone gave it to me"
"Who?"
"Come, " Lora glared at her. "Since when did u become an inspector interrogating me like a suspect?"
"I'm sorry" Sarah waved it off. "Just that it's nice. Do you mind hanging it on the wall?" she requested but her sister remaind mute dressing in a domestic wear. She placed the paper back into her bag then began to walk towards the door. "Let's go make dinner" she finally said totally giving a deaf ear to Sarah's request.
"Okay" Sarah followed her without minding too.

THE NEXT DAY AT RAIN BRAIN
Rain Brain was a discovery company that deals on research. The workers there were all computer wizards each having a computer before him or her. The manager, Mr Rain was a tall huge man with a dark complexion. He's heartless and gets what he wants either by cruel or crook. He doesn't believe in impossibility thus making everything possible. Suddenly, one of his female workers, Ena, called his attention.
"Sir, I've found something"
Mr Rain went to her desk. He looked at the screen of her computer to see the image of a blue river. "What a heck is that?"
"A blue river"
"Go on"
"It's some kind of mysterious river located in the forest of Ezai sixty degree North"
"Find more about it. If there is something useful there, I'll send my men there" Mr Rain began to walk out but Ena's voice interrupted him.
"Sir, the forest might be dangerous"
"It gonna be adventurous and no adventure is easy and simple, so get back to work!" he commanded..
