At the Native HomeIt had been eight months since Oliver left the village, and had acquired enough skill to run the Daughters of Sarah Skill Acquisition Center and Shelter Home. The construction of the center had been completed, and the only work left was the furnishing. Evans had ordered for the furniture, and Oliver needed to be on ground to supervise it. Two days before the delivery of the goods, Oliver and Richard left for the village. Nevertheless, Uncle Emma and his family, including Mama, were happy to see him.“You are welcome, my son,” they welcomed him one after the other.“Thank you, Uncle Emma. Thank you, Mama,” he responded with glee.“How are your aunt, and her family?”“Everyone is fine, uncle. They sent their regards.”“I see. I am happy with the changes in you.”Oliver smiled shyly, and appreciated, “Thank you, Uncle.”Thereafter, Uncle Emma, who was still agile, despite his age, accompanied him to the building, and they climbed to the third floor, while Obidiya, and
“Thank you. I had planned to check on you later. Now that you are here, I am relieved.”He offered them a seat, and they sat uncomfortably with one butt, and Richard noticed it. They greeted him, too, and he welcomed them joyously. To their astonishment, Oliver had grown taller and chubby. His formerly suntanned skin due to long exposure to the sun, and lack of proper feeding, was now light brown. Above all, he exhibited the gait of royalty. He took his seat opposite them and inquired again, “How did you know that I was around?”After narrating how they found their ways into the compound, and how Uncle Emma encouraged them to see the money bag, they laughed happily.“So, Mr. Aaron was pulling out legs?” Boniface pointed out.“You are right. He is such a funny man,” Gerry concurred. They laughed some more, and Oliver explained with a sense of complete control of the compound why he turned the tap on. “I see. We had to turn on the water because the borehole was underutilized, and could
At the Hamlet SquareAs early as that morning, Bertram the tapper was drunk. He had sold every property that he could lay hands, ranging from farmlands, and farm trees. The last one that he sold was the orange tree on the land that he was yet to sell. He had been sustaining himself with the proceeds from the sales while thinking of the next items to sale. Although he was drunk, but he was able to recognize that Thomas' bicycle was his supposed late son's own. “Hey,” he screamed, and his slurred speech betrayed him. Meanwhile, Thomas was focused on getting to the junction, than being distracted by a drunk, and he rode on. Nevertheless, the drink gave him a false impetus, and he chased after him, but he hardly ran for a minute before he fell headlong on the ground. He remained on the floor and began to curse. Likewise, he was still on the floor when Thomas returned with the bike while seven trailer trucks were behind him. Now, everyone's attention was on the trailer trucks. Not only th
Likewise, Alice was excited, and summarized her task. She walked to the new house, and saw the work.“Wow!” She exclaimed, and ran back to the house. Uncle Emma was surprised to see her running back, and he inquired, “Why are you running back? Is the task too much for you?”“I wish to put on a pair of trousers,” she explained and ran into the house. She walked out shortly, after she had dressed in her jean trousers, and a pair of canvas. Then, Uncle Emma smiled with satisfaction when he realized that she was still humble and had not been influenced by the life on the campus.At the New BuildingWhile the work was going on, the youths, who were outside the gate, were disappointed. Although, Shane and Collins were not certain, but they believed that the person in charge was Oliver, but they could not defend it because everyone believed that he was dead. Now, Shane cast his mind on that night that they worked as security guards at the compound, and was ashamed of himself.“What is diffic
At the Delivery RoomHowbeit, Susan was lying on the delivery bed, and was smiling happily. She could imagine how her husband, who had given up on being a father, would feel. “Hubby, it's a set of twins, boys,” Susan announced as soon as her husband walked in. Nevertheless, the excited Tony could not hold back at that point. He allowed the tears of joy that had gathered in his eyes to drop freely. Likewise, he walked to his wife and kissed her temple. Then, he appreciated, “Thank you for making me a father.” Likewise, Susan squeezed his hand, and responded, “Congratulations to us, my hero.”Subsequently, he walked to the babies' cots, and admired the cute babies, “Welcome my precious babies. I love you so much,” he assured, and held their tiny hands with his two hands at once. Presently, he was livelier, and had dried his tears. Then, he joyously took some shots of the babies with his phone.“Let's allow her to take a rest,” the doctor advised. Tony took another look at his wife, who
Cyril got to the General Manager's house in high spirit, and walked in. To his dismay, the main house was locked, and the three male domestic staff members were unaware of the good news. After the greetings, he inquired, “Has the boss left for work?”“No. He left the house last night with his family,” one of them explained.“I see,” he replied, and walked back to his car, and did not bother to discuss the delivery with them.“What must have happened to Mr. Angus? Is he a taxi driver? I doubt, but he looks tattered and emaciated,” he mulled over his encounter with his former as he drove to the Industrial Area.At the ClinicAfter Tony sent the message to the Group General Manager, he sent messages to his parents, and relations, before he settled down, and chatted happily with the doctor. Meanwhile, the doctor had sent a message to his wife, and she could not contain her joy. Suddenly, the doctor's door opened, and his wife walked in. Likewise, she lit up the office with her compliment
“Wait. I need to get his approval,” the security guard informed. Now, Susan's colleagues were more in number. They were aware of her pregnancy, but never attributed it to the General Manager. Likewise, it was difficult for the GMD and his wife to get out of the reception, but Silas was able to make a way for them. Not only that, Cyril was also trapped in the crowd. He could not even get close to the security guards and explain himself.At the Hotel.Since the day Bruno left the company almost two years ago, he had suffered much humiliation. Despite the ejection from his house by Felix, and Ella subjecting him to queue up like her clients, before he could sleep with her, running into a transformed Cyril as a taxi driver, was the worst humiliation he had received so far. Nevertheless, after he discharged his passenger, he got the day's paper and returned to the hotel. He did not have the zeal to continue to work, so he took a break, to brood over the epiphany he had that day.“How can t
“I hope this mail would get to him,” he murmured. To ensure that Moses was stable, he sent for him, and informed him of the progress that he had made so far. The understanding that someone was interested in his matter, cheered him up, and he was grateful, “I appreciate your efforts, sir.”“Don't mention. Let's wait for three working days, as the automatic message said. If we don't hear from him, we will have no choice, but to pay him a visit.”“It is all right, Sir. Thank you for your concern.”“You are welcome.”Afterward, Moses left, and returned to his work.Three Days Later.Now, the Manager was more anxious than Moses. Curiously, he wished to get to the bottom of the publication, which could be misleading if Tony had a child somewhere previously while the publication said that he just welcomed his first babies. Nevertheless, he got a response, and was glad at the progress, “At least, they responded,” he mumbled. Meanwhile, he was able to get the email address of the General Manag
