I stepped out of the bathroom to dress up and face the day when I saw that cloak in my cupboard. I just smiled, it did look fancy and I really doubt it was mum that bought it, well my mum always like to get stuffs that look big and such for me, so I doubt she would be the one to get me such a nice and fancy cloak.
I touched it, removed it from the hanger and stretched it out, I was very sure it's my size. I would have wore it that morning, but I had a very important place to be and wearing it would make me look odd, so I dropped it, not knowing who to tell "Thank you." I got dressed and went out.
When I returned at night, I had forgotten about it, I put off my clothes and dropped it on the bed and went to take a shower, it was after I returned from the shower and stuffed the cloth on the bed inside the cupboard that I noticed it again, it was there entering my eyes like the cloth of many colors.
And NEPA has done what they know to do best then, there was no light. The solar bulb in my room was low already, and was not in it's brightest, still I wanted to try it on, at least it's inside my cupboard I saw it, it might be my brother got it for me, cause I've known him to send gifts and drop gift without notice or expecting a thank you.
So, I took the cloak, and wore it on, it was my exact size, from head to toe, what a wow. Suddenly, just as if something had stung me, I checked myself again, something was missing. Sorry, everything was missing. I couldn't see my hands and legs. I quickly rushed to the mirror to check and it was the same, it was only showing the walls of my room despite me being in front of it.
And to be honest with you, I was scared at first, I mean, very very scared. But I thought about it again. It would be so nice to have an invisible cloak, not to harm others or to steal, but to be able to do things, and see the world without the world seeing me.
I quickly got reminded of the story of Harry Potter and his friend in that novel, Harry Potter by J.K Rowling. Mine is exactly the same. I remember how they used that cloak to hide from other's and sneak out at night and all. But I hope I wouldn't use mine to cause or chase trouble.
So, I slept that night dreaming of various things. The following morning, I took my bath, wore my clothes and wore the cloak on it and stepped out. I knew trouble would find me if I don't find it, cause the first place I went to was ASO ROCK. You wouldn't believe me, but then I went there, looked the various uniformed officers in the eye and went in, they couldn't even see me. Next was the bank I visited some days before and the officers pushed me out, I was like, "come and carry me out now."
After about few weeks of having the cloak, I heard my mum and dad talking in muffled tones in the sitting room, so what's the best way to hear them clearly without them knowing, I picked up the cloak and went straight to stand right in their middle as they talk, and I heard my dad said, "I really want him to succeed, and I know you want the best for him too."
"Don't worry dear, he will, we won't stop praying for him as well." My mum replied him.
I looked at myself, went back in, took off the Cloak and cried. That night, invisibility made me see how much I was loved and how they really want the best for me.
