The Second in Command settled down and his son collected his phone from him and tried to look at the pictures. Then Bright announced, “Your Excellencies, our distinguished guests, the celebrant, ladies and gentlemen. I wish to announce the arrival of the Head of State and the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces.”

The hall became quiet at once and everyone looked at the entrance. The mothers held their little children who could cause distraction. Mrs. Bolton looked at his twelve-year-old son, who was in a wheelchair, to ensure that he was stable before she faced the door. Meanwhile, the media crew from the Auxiliary Armory PLC, the Ministry of Information, the government house, and the television houses had mounted their cameras in the right place.

Bright was monitoring his movement from the CCTV and was waiting for him and his family to get out of the car. When they were set, he announced again, “Your Excellencies, distinguished guests, the celebrant, ladies and gentlemen. With a s

    Out of anger, she mistakenly tapped on the story and the story opened. She saw the celebrant ending his speech but before she could assess the video, he started walking out of the stage.“So his bother is a Cadet as well,” she murmured bitterly.To her annoyance, Stephanie appeared and was smiling happily.“Idiot,” she cursed but heard when she mentioned that the celebrant was sixteen years old.“Must his brother have everything in common with my brother?” She yelled and attracted her parents.Her father, who was in the parlor, sat up from the couch and listened again. Likewise, her mother walked out of the bedroom and asked him, “What happened?” He got up at once and said, “I wouldn't know. Let's find out.”His wife moved swiftly to her room and asked her, “What is it, Laura?”“Today is that stupid Sgt. Young's little brother's birthday and he is disturbing the airwaves with it,” she blurted out.Her parents breathed freely because the issue had nothing to do with her job and their

    Laura and her family dropped their argument and focused on the television. Stephanie had no choice but to leave the first youth and walk to the second one to get her details.“My name is Ann Suresh,” she informed her, and she waited for more information.When she got none, she respected herself and left. She watched the others pick empty papers and announce that they picked NOTHING. Meanwhile, Fabian had picked a plane paper, and just like Samuel, he was worried.“Thank God for my new idea,” he said to himself.“Will the Head of State give them jobs in the city?” Laura asked with disdain.“Is it the Head of State or the celebrant? He said it is his gift to them,” her father elucidated.“Does he have a job to offer anyone?”“No. He doesn't have but his elder brother has. I have advised you to be careful with Sgt. Young. Even though you are older he is smarter than you think,” her mother pointed out.She looked into her mother's eyes and asked, “What do you mean?”“He may be planning to

    At The Christchurch DomeThey got to the Dome afterward and the children were thrilled by the beautiful decoration and the playground. Before that day, their parents were too busy to take them out, and they were happy with such an opportunity. Nevertheless, their parents were happy to know that they were happy. Apart from playing and running around, they familiarized themselves with each other and made new friends.“I think we can do this once in a while,” the Head of State whispered to his wife.“Do what if I may ask?” his wife asked him.“Bring the children together once in a while. Otherwise, they may not know each other.”“Oh! I'm surprised to know that despite being in the same school.”“Yes. You know they hide their identities.”“I got it. It may be twice a year. You got it.”“It is time for lunch,” Stephanie informed the children after a while.They were disappointed but obeyed. They joined their parents on their tables and began to eat.

    Although he did not explain much, his facial expressions were encouraging.“Thank you, Doctor,” Tim appreciated him and he noticed that his clothes were stained as well.“Consider it as nothing,” he said and walked back to his office to mull over the incident.“Why are they talking about him as if his case was pathetic?” He asked himself.Meanwhile, after he left, they walked back to their seats and sat down. Tim looked at George and advised him, “You can take everyone home. Richard and I can wait.”“Yes. The celebrant may be too exhausted,” Richard added.George breathed in and out and answered, “We will wait. I don't even know the boy's parents.”“How is he?” The old man who just walked in asked them.They looked up and only Tim could find his bearings.“The doctor said he will be fine,” he informed him.The old man understood the hopelessness of his answer and exclaimed, “Huh!”Nevertheless, he sat on a single chair and began to wait like them. Not long after, the General Manager w

    In The Evening - At Tim's HouseAfter they left the clinic, they returned home but were exhausted.“Congratulations once again, Samuel. You did well,” the old man praised him and he was elated.“Thank you so much for your compliment, Old man. It wasn't easy at the initial stage.”“You got it. It wasn't easy for everyone. We thought you would be too shy to give your opening remark,” Gerald added.“He picked up courage when he got to the podium,” George explained.“You did well. You need to rest your head for now. Did you get me?”“Yes, Brother-in-law. Thank you for making this day a memorable one,” he appreciated Tim. He smiled, spread his hands apart and Samuel walked into them. They hugged each other tightly for a while before he whispered, “I'm delighted to be part of your happiness.”Afterward, he released him, and they retired to their rooms one after the other. Nevertheless, the old man could not wait to hear from Ella. Therefore, before he pulled off his clothes, he called her.

The family that Gerald and Samuel visited the last time we came,” Tim faced Richard and informed him.“I got it,” he answered and opened the door.“Go with him, Valentine,” he advised him and he complied.Pa Suresh and his family were ready to leave for the farm when they saw a soldier and a civilian in front of their house. After the event of the last Saturday, he acquired many enemies, especially among the youths. Unknown to them, he was just lucky to be part of the event.

    “Good morning, Major,” they saluted him accordingly.He responded and cut the salute. He looked at the bus and saw the driver coming out after he had parked his bus properly.“Good morning, Major,” he greeted him respectfully.“Good morning,” he responded and looked at him askance.“The General asked me to give this to you.”Richard stretched his hand and collected it.“Thank you for this,” he appreciated him and faced the inhabitants.“As I was saying, if you have not worked before, you are not disqualified. Did you get me?”“Yes, Major,” they responded loudly.“That is good. If you hear your name, get on the bus. We are taking you to your workplace.”“Okay, Major,” only a few responded while the liars' hearts' sank.Without minding their looks, he started calling out their names, and they got into the bus.

My bank charges so much on withdrawals.”“My bank does the same thing. They are all the same.”“I don't think so. Yours is better.

If you didn't move, they would assume you are not qualified to rule the Dukedom,” Elder Kefas pointed out, and the other elders agreed with him.“The time is short and we need the allocation to start planning. Has it been released?” Another elder asked them.“Not at all. What do we do?” The fake Duke asked the elders.“Huh! I propose that you should visit the headquarters again. Ask the person in charge to hasten things up.”“You are right,” he said and looked at the time, “It is just 10 AM.

The farmers were happy to hear that they were secured and working for the government and Valentine's workload had increased. Despite his increased responsibilities, as the school resumption was drawing closer, he was getting worked up.“What will I do?” He asked himself.“What did you say, Supervisor?” Pa Suresh, who was sitting with him, asked.He never knew that he was audible enough to be heard and he cautioned himself, “I was just thinking aloud.”They were yet chatting when Fabian joined them and brought up Ann's departure.“She is supposed to leave on the sixth as her admission letter stated.”“I think she is aware of that,” Pa Suresh acknowledged.“That is on Saturday,” Valentine said and Fabian added, “Yes, Supervisor. Three days from now.”“That is good. Have you informed the Major?”“Ha!” Pa Suresh exclaimed and Fabian asked, “

    Although she got to the bus before the other staff members, she was standing and waiting for the others because the drivers were not close by.At that point, the fight she tried to avoid came upon her. Since she was the first to come, she expected that the other staff members would allow her to get on the bus before them, but they were too happy to think of that.“I came before you,” she said and tried to stop the staff who was about to get onto the bus.“And so what?” The staff asked and removed her hand that was blocking him forcefully. She staggered backward and the others held and stopped her from falling.As an aggressive person who must not let go, she regained composure. Without appreciating those who helped her, she got onto the bus and hit the staff who was about to sit down very hard and a fight ensued. Before they could separate them, the staff had beaten her beyond her expectations.“Do you think I am your late husband who you can treat anyhow?” He asked her and sat down.

    The other women joined them but those who could not, never bothered despite the prize. The groups danced and it was fun.“Thank you for this,” the host appreciated them, but there was an observation.A middle-aged man was sitting with the widows, and it was strange. The organizers thought it was an error and one of them walked up to him to correct it.“Hello, Old man. You should sit with the widowers and not here,” the official informed him.“Thank you for informing me, but I am not a widower,” he clarified.The organizer furrowed his brow and inquired further, “If you are not a widower, what are you? A widow?”Now, one of the security men thought that he was proving stubborn, joined them and waited for his answer.He smiled mildly and answered, “No, I am not a widow. I'm representing my daughter. Her husband died during the war.”The two were touched and the security man sympathized with him, “We are so sorry for the loss. Why is she not here?”“She had been sick since then and had b

If the President talks to them, they would reconsider her.”“It is all right. Remind me on Monday,” Richard said and shut the door.“Thank you, Major. I …”He stopped when he saw the farmers coming to them with their produce.“We brought the squirrels, Supervisor,” one of them announced and looked at the Major's face.He was happy to know that he liked it. Valentine helped them to arrange them in the trunk. The good thing about their produce is that it is free from fertilizer because they could not afford it.“Thank you,” Valentine appreciated them and shut the trunk.“You are welcome, Supervisor. Thank you for informing him about our predicament.”“It is my pleasure.”“Thank you for the gifts,” Tim and Richard appreciated them at once.“Thank you for accepting them. W

    That evening, they closed from work for the day and resolved to visit the estate and show their appreciation for their cooperation.Likewise, they brought some farm produce to them. To cap it all, the hunters among them brought five sizeable edible gray squirrels.“These are from our hearts. Kindly accept them,” one of them said cheerfully.The workers focused on Valentine who was thrilled with the gesture. The foreigners were thrilled with the neighborliness and waited for him to speak.“This is wonderful. We are happy to know that you found us worthy of your friendship. We appreciate it,” he said.“Thank you for accepting us.”“I hope no one is molesting?” Valentine asked.“No, Supervisor.

    “Thank you, Mark,” they responded one after the other.“Kindly take us to the pavilion,” George requested.“It is all right, President,” he answered and led the way. They moved with him and George was surprised to see Tim walking with the General Manager.'When did he arrive?' He asked himself.Some days are heavy but Tim had to grin and bear it. They checked the pavilion and took notes of the minor work they needed to do before Sunday. George did not have the chance to speak with Tim. However, he was confused when he got on the bus with them.When he looked around and did not see his clunker, he asked himself, 'Did he come with us?'Tim was obediently sitting beside the GM like a wimp and he had forgotten about him.
