Never to look back Forgiving and renewing friendship are two different things.
News flash in the morning was the most explosive news in a very long time. It was an announcement or rather an advertisement with a snippet about the live broadcast of a tell-all interview of Lenin Walter on national television; an open and honest confession where he would bare open his scars, wanting answers and closure… feigning confusion and regret... confusion in not knowing what he did wrong…. Regret in having to lead the life of an orphan despite having a family…… If the snippets were anything to go by, I can vouch that 'Desire and Elegance' would never have gone under, if only Lenin had chosen a different career path!Who doesn’t enjoy a good performance? The Walter siblings were no different; they too joined in the fun, along with their wives (husbands) and kids. They gathered around in the true spirit of entertainment with popcorns, drinks and the works. The only people missing out on the fun were Adam and Elizabeth who were in a world of their own, or were they?Adam was tr

Lenin arrived at the National broadcasting studio on time; he wasn’t dressed in his usual flashy style but wore a rather conservative style, his choice of colour, a dull grey which amplified the gloomy, depressed persona he was trying to depict to perfection. At first glance, anyone would mistake him for Chris if he didn’t have the gloomy aura around him.“Mr Walter, it is a pleasure to meet you.” the reporter smiled amiably as he welcomed Lenin into the studio.“I wish it was under better circumstances.” Lenin replied dryly trying to bring a smile on his face and failing miserably.“Things will get better… you have to believe.” the reporter had a smile as he comforted but if one looked clearly, they would realize that the smile didn’t reach his eyes nor was it anything more than a professional front.“Yes… Hope is what keeps us moving forward…. keeps us going even when everything around us is screaming to give up…” Lenin sighed with a miserable look in his eyes before shaking his head

“It isn’t a secret.” Lenin shrugged as he let out a shallow laugh “My surname is a big giveaway although my father has refused to acknowledge me or my mother.”Lenin leaned forward and sat with his face buried in his hands, his fingers bunching the neatly combed strands of his hair. Pin drop silence reigned in the studio as Lenin worked up his courage. He slowly raised his head, his eyes unwavering as he spoke, word by word “My father is Adam Walter.”“Aha…..” Gasps arose from the audience; their shell-shocked faces were testament to Adam’s image in the community. They broke out into a flurry of conversation after they recovered from the shock of the explosive news that they just received.“Now… now….” Craig called the attention of the audience back to him “I know this is huge… but we only have another 30 mins…” He tapped his watch jokingly “and I am sure we want to hear more from his young gentleman.”“If you don’t mind me asking, how old are you Mr Walter?” Craig continued once the c

“You have suffered…” Craig broke the pin drop silence that was created as a result of everyone in the studio sinking into the sadness that Lenin’s words unleashed.“Before we move on to trying to reach out to your debtor for answers, I am going to open the floor for the Q & A session, but I would like to ask you if you are comfortable with going ahead.” Craig looked at Lenin in concern; Lenin was sitting hunched up with his head buried in his hands.Lenin raised his head after about 5 mins with a tensed smile “Apologies… I lost my composure… but it is hard to re-live your nightmare even though the verbal detail is only glossing past…” Lenin shrugged “sketchy to say the least.”“No offense taken.” Craig waved his hand in good nature “There is no need to apologize. This is why I asked you if you want to take a break? We can re-convene in a few minutes.”“No need. I can continue.” Lenin nodded stiffly.“The floor is open for questions.” Craig turned to the audience with his signature smil

“Now how many of you consider the sister of your best friend as a childhood sweetheart?”Almost everyone of them put their hands down.“Have you not been around your friend’s sister? Have you not played with her?”“We have” the people who put their hands up previously responded in unison.“Then, how is it fair that you, who had your friend’s sister around you and played with her when you were growing up not be considered childhood sweethearts while my father who is also guilty of the same crime, have to be forced into accepting his best friend’s sister as his childhood sweetheart?” Mark narrowed his eyes as he looked at the audience.No one dared to refute but Lenin couldn’t sit still. He jumped up in his chair as he pointed his finger at Mark and cursed “Big brother, don’t go too far. You can wriggle your way out of most things by your twisted logic but today…. You picked the wrong topic.”“All my brothers are around me …. I don’t have any other brothers.” Mark spoke sharply as he dir

Lenin had no idea how he left the studio. He walked through the streets like a lost soul; whether it was his mental state or his physical appearance, which one was more pathetic was debatable. As he walked through the streets, anyone who saw him would take 10 steps away from him. Eggs and rotten tomatoes covered his body giving off a pungent smell; to add to the graphic details was the juices from the smashed eggs and rotten tomatoes that were smashed on his head were running down his face. He didn’t even bother to wipe them off even though they were blurring his vision. He just kept walking, aimlessly through the streets that he once travelled like a king!There was no need to say that Lenin was finished. But what was worth noting was what he did once calmed down. He checked into a hotel and cleaned up before boarding a flight to his uncle’s hometown. He didn’t stop anywhere, nor did he take any detours. He went straight to the sanitorium where his uncle was admitted.“Son, you’re bac

Chris was enjoying a rare quiet moment with his wife and kids when Night Wing announced his presence with a cough.Chris raised his head to acknowledge Night Wing’s presence and raised his eyebrows enquiring.“Boss, about Lenin.” Night Wing hinted and stopped, waiting for Chris’s instructions. Chris gestured with his hand to continue. He had no secrets from his wife and his kids needed to be trained; they were not green house flowers, he hoped for them to be stronger than him.“Boss, he boarded the flight and went straight to Hugo’s place.” Night Wing pursed his lips pulling them lopsidedly “We also had a report that Hugo was found dead in his room with his throat slit.”“What else did you expect?” Chris shook his head “This is very much in alignment with his character. He holds a grudge for the smallest of unintentional grievance, how could he let go of Hugo who not only groomed him to be the way he is but also tricked him for his entire life and also robbed him of his true identity a

“Daddy’s got double standards.” Emm pouted as she folded her arms across her chest. Chris Jnr too nodded his head in agreement and explained looking at the clueless face of both his parents “Daddy said that a man should have principles that he should live by, but every time mommy throws a tantrum, daddy seems to forget that he is a man.”“Puchi….” Emile burst out giggling… she couldn’t hold it in… their kids were too cute.“How is this double standard?” Chris shrugged as he opened his palms upward in a matter-of-fact gesture.“When we ask daddy to break his principles and not punish us, he never succumbs but mommy doesn’t even need to ask, she only needs to look, and daddy back peddles faster than a super-fast jet.” Both Chris Jnr and Emm spoke in unison as though they have had this conversation a million times in their head.“Puchi….” Emile bend over laughing clutching her tummy; looks like their little ones had a huge grievance. They even completed a long sentence in unison without e

Marcus had the easiest job although it looked like it was the hardest; He had planned to recruit all his cousins to help him convince his family to travel to Mossel Bay however all his plans were futile as everyone was packed and ready to set off as he reached home.“Dad, where are you going?” Marcus asked in shock as he saw all the suitcases packed and lined up in the foyer of the outdoor porch at the main entrance. His heart sank as he thought about his herculean task.“I am going to attend my youngest brother’s wedding.” Darcy chuckled before offering “You can come with us, if you don’t want to miss your little uncle’s wedding.”“How did you know?” Marcus puckered his lips as he glared resentfully at his heartless father who stole his thunder.“Chee!” Darcy sneered as he rolled his eyes in disdain without even bothering to glorify the resentment with an answer.“Son, where are you going?” Mark asked with a helpless expression as he saw Marcus walking in the direction of Darcy’s vil

Meanwhile, at the manor on the south coast-“Little master” Night Sonic walked out of his post in the shadows and knelt beside Chris Jnr who was busy on his laptop.“Um” Chris Jnr hummed without raising his head; he was busy finalizing his design of the wedding venue arrangements.“Mr Holston is back.”“What does that madman’s return have to do with me?” Chris Jnr snorted even though his fingers didn’t stop dancing on the keyboard.“Master is upstairs with Madam.” Night Sonic scratched the back of his head with a constipated expression.“So???” Chris Jnr hooked his eyebrows with a curious expression as he titled his head to look at Night sonic. His lips curled up cynically as he teased “Do you think my daddy can’t handle that lunatic?”“Handle …yes….” Night Sonic chuckled after realizing his mistake, "but that’s exactly what I am concerned about."Chris Jnr too chuckled as he imagined his daddy punching the living daylights out of the madman; he didn’t bother to take any action; he co

“What are you little ghosts planning this time?” Abbey asked as she patted the spot next to her on the sofa, giving Amy a suggestive look, to get her claws off her little treasure. Amy reluctantly placed Emm on the sofa next to Abbey and stood dutifully behind Abbey.Little treasure stood up on the sofa, lifting her chin with a boastful look as she announced, “We are going to give daddy and mommy the wedding of the century.”“You what???” Abbey’s eyes and mouth widened in shock. She turned her head to look at Night Blade to find some signs of bluffing but there were no giveaways on his face.She patted her chests in an attempt to calm her heart that was racing faster than a formula 1 car on the racetrack. She exhaled deeply as she stuttered “Wedding … a wedding… my Little treasure …. wants to do the wedding of a century….”“My dear little treasure even a simple wedding preparation takes time...” Abbey tried to calm her little treasure “It takes months and lots of preparation to prepar

“Tell godmother who bullied you?” Abbey sat hugging little treasure on the sofa in the lounge setting in office “Godmother will avenge you.”“Who can bully little treasure?” Emm blinked as she smiled sweetly hugging Abbey “Little treasure is so sweet; how can anyone bear to bully me?”Amy had followed Abbey into the office seeing that Night Blade had no intention of being a gentleman and staying outside. She had to make sure her boss, other than being a workaholic, her boss didn’t have any flaws; she was young anyway… she could afford to work long hours.Amy had just stepped into the office and closed the door when she heard little treasure’s words which were adorable; how could anyone relate the word arrogant to that adorable face? She stood leaning against the door, staring starry-eyed at Emm. She really wanted to hug this adorable little angel.“Yes…. yes…. my little treasure is so adorable, who could bear to?” Abbey agreed happily as she kissed little treasure. “Where is big treas

Master and his group reached the ancestral home of the Walters the next day; deciding on the ancestral home as their destination was a no brainer considering Bai-Min had seen Chris over there 2 weeks ago. However, it wasn’t the much-anticipated reunion that the group expected. Instead, they were told by the gatekeeper that everyone had travelled to Adam’s place.Master hesitated; he didn’t want to follow everyone to Adam’s place. What he really wanted to do was to follow Azure’s aura and find Emile. His original intention was to ditch the group once they met up with Chris and find Emile by following Azure’s aura.“Master, we have to be responsible for them.” Bai-Min knew what his master was thinking and opened his mouth to dissuade his master.“Master, I am following wherever you go.” Lai-Li knew what Bai-Min was up to, so she hurriedly added before Master delegated them to chaperon the trio; once master ordered, they couldn’t refuse.“Aa….

Chris arrived by Emile’s side as soon as he received his son’s message, giving her a pleasant surprise. Emile was reading a book on her bed when Chris arrived.‘Duk’ ‘Duk’ ‘Duk’Emile lifted her head to look in the direction she heard the knock in puzzlement; Who would knock on the balcony door?’Her face brightened with the sweetest smile as she saw the man she missed with all her being even though he had only left a few hours earlier, appearing in front of her. She wasn’t expecting Chris to come back anytime soon.“Hubby….” Emile ran to open the balcony as soon as she heard the knock on the balcony door and jumped into his embrace, hugging him tightly.“Missed me so soon?” Chris chuckled teasingly as he hugged her back.“Um” Emile nodded without feeling embarrassed, this was the man she loved and missed with all her heart. Why would she care about a little face?She lifted her head once her heart calmed down and settled on the bed, sitting in a comfortable position nestled in her hu

Chris had just sent Little treasure and the rest of when his satellite phone beeped. It was a tone unique for messages from his treasures. He picked up the phone with a smile as he thought it was Little treasure urging him to work hard. His lips curled up further as he read the message; it wasn’t from Little treasure. It read-‘Daddy, the empress is on her own. I am not responsible if anything happens to your spoilt empress. I am busy.’ – Big treasure.He turned to nod towards Night Wing before leaving the manor.Daniel rushed back to his office all the while racking his brain on how to secure an invitation. His fingers paused twice as he browsed through his contacts list and reached Ron’s number, but he didn’t press down. It was more truthful to say that he didn’t have the confidence that Ron would answer his call. He had tried several times without success to reach him in the first few weeks that he had broken off their friendship to explain his side.‘Duk’ ‘Duk’ ‘Duk’He heard the
Never to look back Can you guess what Little treasure wants to do?
Chris noticed that little treasure was eager to go back and didn’t force her to stay. He knew his little treasure’s intention was not what she said out loud, but he still indulged her; indulging his treasures had become a habit.Night blade and his team was tasked with escorting Little treasure back while Night Rider and his team stayed back with Chris; there was no need to ask about Night Wing to know what he did.“I don’t want Uncle Night Blade to follow me.” Little treasure pouted, throwing another temper tantrum before setting off, shocking Chris and Night Blade. Night Blade felt hurt even though his face was expressionless; his love and affection for the two treasures was no less than that of Night Wing.“Why is that?” Chris asked in a gentle tone, without showing any impatience even though he was shocked.“Uncle Night Blade won’t listen to me.” Little treasure pouted with feigned grievance although her lips her curling up victoriously in a corner not visible to anyone.Chris sig

As the first rays of the sun kissed the land, no matter how reluctant he felt, Chris kissed goodbye to his dear wife. During the night, they had reached a consensus to see what their treasures were up to and not tear open the farce till they got the green flag from their treasures.Chris dragged his feet back to the manor, wondering if he should punish his son for dragging his feet and delaying their reunion. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t understand why his son wouldn’t just call him and tell him that his mommy was back to normal and ask him to pick them up. He didn’t suspect his son’s intentions, just felt miserable that he still had to be separated from his family although the problems had been solved.However, all his thoughts were thrown to the back of mind as he saw his little treasure sitting in the lounge with her princess temper; her eyelashes stained with dewdrops that were threatening to fall, causing Marcus to run round in circles to please her.“What’s goi
