The Return of General Williams 2 The Birthday 1
He hissed, cut the call, and answered, “It is Samuel. My little brother-in-law.”“Is he mad at me?” Samuel pondered in trepidation.Gen. Hill was thrilled to hear that and teased him, “I almost forgot that you are the father of grown-ups. Why did you cut his call?”“He can be clingy every so often. Especially when he is alone.”“Alone? What about his brother?”“He is volunteering at His Excellency's office.”“That is good to hear. The young man may have a good reason for calling you. Kindly call him back.”Tim did not wish to disrupt their meeting and showed reluctance.“Call him back. I wish to say 'hello' to him,” Gen. Hill insisted.He had no choice but to comply. “If you say, so.”Instantly, he called him back and they waited for him to pick it up. Meanwhile, when he cut the call, Samuel felt bad and concluded that he had disturbed his work. Therefore, he resolved not to call him again. Now, he was afraid to answer him and vacillated. He fixed his eyes on the phone until it time

Samuel was the first to arrive at the dinner table in readiness to share his new idea. Shortly after that, the old man joined him and admired his happy face.“I hope you rested very well?” Samuel asked him joyously.“I'm fine. How is the planning going?”“Splendid. I have a new idea.”“Wow! That is great. I can't wait to hear it.”Soon, Tim and the rest joined them and they began to wait for the chef.“So, what is your new idea, Samuel?” Tim asked.George and Gerald were surprised to hear that and focused on him. As usual, he was shy.“Let's hear it,” George persuaded him.He happily shared his idea with them and they were thrilled.“You must have been thinking deeply to come up with this idea,” Gerald complimented him.“You are right, Big Brother. I don't want them to miss out at all.”“That is a good one. Meanwhile, the Head of State and the Second in Command will be part of your birthday,” Tim informed him and he was flabbergasted to hear that.“Ha! How did they know about it?” He

“Gerald and Samuel,” they shouted in unison.They were attracted by the familiar voices and looked up. They were delighted to see the familiar faces and stood up at once.“Wow!” They exclaimed and hugged them one after the other despite their untidy looks.Afterward, one of them asked them, “When did you come and why didn't you come to check on us?”“We would have done that after leaving here,” Gerald explained.“I got it. How are your parents?”“They are fine. How are your parents too?”“They are fine as well. I'm pleased to see you.”Gerald faced Pa Suresh and informed him, “We will be back shortly.”“It is all right,” he answered and watched them walk away with their friends.“We are glad to see you, Samuel. You have added some flesh,” one of them complimented him.He smiled broadly and responded, “Thank you for the compliment. You look good, too.”Meanwhile, while Tim and the rest were waiting in the car George asked, “Where will the event take place?”“You are right. I have bee

At RakaiaThe news about Samuel's visit had gone around the small community of about eight hundred inhabitants and they were expectant.Likewise, the rehearsal for the upcoming event, which began the previous Saturday, proved that Rakaia was a place with hidden talents, but no one knew it, including themselves. Nevertheless, the other families wished to claim the ownership of Samuel and play the host on that day and trouble broke out among them.“Are you the host, Fabian?” An angry youth asked him“I have been wondering. So, by visiting your family first has made your family superior to ours?” Another person asked and Fabian was lost.“That is not the issue. I am only saying that …”“Saying what?” Another person yelled at him and he was disoriented.“I beg to take my leave,” he said and moved.To his surprise, more than half of the youths followed him and left the disgruntled ones behind.“Let them leave. Who is he to exert superiority over us?”“Just imagine that. After all, Samuel w

On Friday morning, Pa Suresh and his family woke up and looked at the soldiers who were about five hundred meters away from them and minding their business.“Why are they running away from them?” He asked his wife.“I have been wondering. If they wished to arrest us, they would have done that since the day they cleared the field,” his wife responded.Just then, Fabian walked out of the room and asked, “If all of us go into hiding, who will receive Samuel tomorrow?” “He would be embarrassed,” Ann added.“He will be disappointed in me. He believed in us and chose to share his joy with us,” Pa Suresh declared.“I will wait for them. The soldiers can arrest me if they wish,” Fabian resolved, and they continued with their daily activities.At The Auxiliary Armory PLCStephanie and Bright's movement angered Laura who assumed that they were doing that to provoke her.“Scumbags,” she cursed as usual.Nevertheless, the news of Sgt. Young's little brother's birthday spread among the staff memb

Instantly, Gerald opened the passenger's door, got out of the car, and waited for Samuel. His Cadet uniform was good on him and he looked different. “Ha!” Peter exclaimed when he saw a cadet instead of a soldier and his friends were confused as well.Samuel got out of the car and Collins drove off with George. The two began to walk happily to Pa Suresh's house.“Good morning, Pa Suresh. Good morning, Mrs. Suresh,” they greeted before they got closer.The family recognized them at that point and breathed freely.“Good morning to you. We are glad that you could make it despite the tight security,” the old man said.“Why not? Let us go,” Gerald said.“We can hold your party at the back of the house so that we don't disturb the Head of State's event,” Fabian proposed and moved.Whether the two boys understood his explanation or not, they ignored him and instructed them, “Let go. We are supposed to be seated before the Head of State arrives.”“Seated where?” The bewildered Mrs. Suresh ask

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

At Mount Olive The next day, the Minister of Information released the jingle and the fake Duke and his men were happy.“This is splendid. They treated our matter so soon,” the fake Duke made clear.“I said it. 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. I can do that today,” the desperate Duke stated.His proposal was suitable and they accepted it at once. Without hesitation, he got ready and left.At the Mining Field Ann was preparing happily and perfecting her cooking skills. That was to Valentine's benefit because he became her judge w

At The Mining Field - January The Christmas celebration had come and gone and the workers felt the impact. Fabian's presence brightened the estate. 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.

Due to the silent war, they did not watch the program because they felt that it would not interest them. Laura had been in her room since morning and only came out to prepare a quick meal for herself. Afterward, she returned to her room and kept herself busy with her phone before she slept off.Nevertheless, Madeline was worried when her husband did not return. She looked at the time and it was a few minutes before 7 PM.“Where has gone to?” She murmured bitterly and continued to wait.After a while, she got up from her seat, walked to the bedroom, and returned to the parlor.

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

“They will like it if you can assist with the transfer. The university has a campus in Birmingham,” he pleaded as though it was on their behalf and not for his benefit.“Is it possible?” Richard asked him.“Yes, Major. 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

In The Morning Tim, George, and the boys were preparing to go for their shooting training when he got a disturbing call from Richard.“Where are you?” He asked him at once.“I am at the gate, Boss,” he answered him.“I will be with you, shortly,” he said and walked out of his room.He got to George's room and informed him that he wished to visit the mining field. He frowned his face and asked, “On a Saturday? You need your rest.”“I know. Take the boys to the shooting range. I may meet you there,” he instructed him and moved quickly to avoid more questions.“It is all right,” he answered and continued dressing up.Tim got to the garage and drove to the gate. Richard joined him and he moved.“Kindly read the message to my hearing,” he requested and Richard did.After listening to him, he asked him, “When did this happen?”“I don't know.”“Have you not spoken with him?”“No, Boss. I woke up and saw the message and decided to come over at once.”“That is good. I wonder who would have

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. We appreciate you for your presence.”“You are welcome,” Valentine said and they walked away.He turned and looked at Pa Suresh, who was smiling beside him, and asked, “What do we do with the gray squirrels? I have not eaten it for a long time?”Before he could speak, Tyler and his friends walked

“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. They returned to the complex afterward and got out of the bus. To avoid missing out completely that day, he decided to take the plunge.He followed the General Manager back to his office. When they got to the door, he asked him, “What brings you, Driver?”Now, he had ope
