The Return of General Williams The Birthday 3
“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

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. After the l, unc,h they began to leave o

The Return of General Williams 300. The Resumption 15
At The Mining Field Valentine and Fabian returned from Birmingham the previous night after ensuring that Ann had settled down. They were at work when Richard arrived and they welcomed him warmly. After the greetings, he informed Fabian that he would perform at the event and he was excited.“Thank you, Major, for finding me worthy to be at the occasion.”“You are welcome. Kindly give me your stage photograph and name,” he requested and he did.“Thank you, so much for accepting the invitation despite the short notice.”“It is my pleasure, Major. I haven't been to Mount Olive before. How do I find my way?”“The supervisor will bring you. You will arrive incognito so that the youths will not overcrowd the event.”“I got it, Major.”“Good. Kindly share your bill and payment details with me,” Richard requested.Valentine who was smiling happily all the while said, “I'm happy for you, Fabian.”“Thank you, Supervisor,” he said and faced Richard, “I appreciate the gesture, Major. I will do th

The General Manager believed him and said, “The manual is there. You should have read through it.”“I did. But I had a problem along the line.”“I see.”He stood up immediately and appreciated him, “I'm grateful,” he said and returned to the Secretary's office.To avoid exposing himself, he brought out his phone and the manual. Then, he looked at the clerk and requested, “Kindly put me through on how to use the phone.”He smiled and walked to him. He sat beside him and began to teach him. As a good student, he learned faster, and appreciated him afterward, “Thank you for your assistance.”“It is my pleasure,” he responded and returned to his seat.Then, Tim got up, looked at Stephanie, and said in a low tone, “It's remaining one a half day.” She smiled softly and he walked away. Meanwhile, the edited jingle of the ceremony was on air. The posting of news was not as domineering as it was the previous day.At Mount Olive The edited jingle left much to be desired. Instead of including

“Huh!” He exclaimed and laughed euphorically.Tim was infested and laughed as well.“How can I invite them?” He asked him.“Are they not your friends? Let me have the names of the friends you wished to invite.”“It is all right,” he said and gave him the names of eight Dukes and he walked away.He got to his room and contacted the fake Duke and asked him to invite them.“Sir, we have invited them but they declined the invitation,” he answered.Tim was surprised and asked him, “Why? Did they give any reason?”“Not at all. They arrogantly turned the invitation down.”“It is all right,” he said and ended the call.At Lt. Col. Ben Smirnoff's Office He has been as happy as a lark and dancing with all his might since the breaking news.“They are no longer searching for the poster of the scandalous post. Maybe they searched and could not get me," he said to himself and continued dancing. Unfortunately, he had no friends to share his joy with nor did anyone call to rejoice with him. Not bec

Tim walked into George's office and they locked eyes. He noticed that he was sad and inquired, “What's up, Boss?”“I don't know how the boys would cope with a new Commandant,” he sat down and responded.“You just said my mind. You should have advised the Second in Command.”“The Head of State distorted his work after he submitted the list to him.”“Ha! He must have his reasons.”“What could be his reason? That was the man responsible for the scandal against him,” Tim blurted out.George was bewildered and he locked eyes with him. After a while, he spoke, “Maybe he wished to disgrace him by sending him to where he cannot function well.”Tim looked at him for a while before he said, “You may be right. I have not thought of that. But he should not joke with the children's studies.”“Let's watch out.”Tim wanted to speak but the door opened and he halted. George smiled when he saw the visitor. Tim turned and saw the General Manager. He got up at once and greeted him, “Good morning, Maj.

Kay did not want to argue further with him and concurred, “It is good, Your Excellency” “Good. Publish the postings and the take-off date and time at once.”“I will do that, Your Excellency.”“It is all right. You can leave.”“It is all right, Your Excellency,” they appreciated him simultaneously and walked away. At The Second in Command's OfficeThey got to Kay's office and he asked Tim, “What kind of posting is this?”“Huh! Can Ben manage the school?”“It baffles me. I thought he would punish him because of that scandalous post against the school and the government,” Kay stated.“I thought so as well. Does it mean that he is compensating him for working against his government?”Kay walked to his swivel chair and sat down while Tim sat on the visitor's seat and waited for his response.“That is the challenge. He will assume that his act was not discovered.”Tim noticed that he was angry and pacified him, “Don't let it bother you. Just publish the postings.”“Thank you for your conce

At The President's Office Bright and Gilbert have observed that George laughed exceptionally aloud whenever Tim was with him and that day was no different. He walked in after he left the General Manager's office. Nevertheless, George had been curious to hear the outcome of his visit.He looked at his hand and grimaced his face, “What did he give to you?” He asked him anxiously.“I have not checked it,” he answered and sat down.He brought the gift out of the shopping bag and a smile beamed across his face, “It is a handset,” he announced happily.“Wow! What did you do for him to attract this? I mean what attempted deceit did you foil during the Widow and Widowers Empowerment Program?”Tim laughed and narrated the story. George laughed aloud and pointed out, “Oh! They don't value you but wish to enrich themselves through you.”“Just imagine that but he regretted it. Seeing a supposed ghost will disturb him any time he remembers it.”“You are right. Congratulations on your New Year gif

Tim shook his head and asked her, “What is remaining? Just make it five times a week.”“No. I'm not selfish. Four and a half are all right by me.”“Not selfish indeed. If I do, what will I tell your boss is my reason for frequenting his office?”Now, the die was cast and she looked forlorn. They locked eyes for a while and saw the burning desire they had for each other in their eyes. Tim looked away and his eyes fell on her phone.“Your phone is fine,” he complimented her.She smiled happily and said, “Thank you for the compliment. It was my birthday gift.”“Wow! That birthday cake was one in town and now this.”“I was shocked as well. Even the former President's wife had not celebrated her birthday with such size of cake,” she explained.“I see. What is the brand of the phone? Let me take a look.”She innocently gave him her phone and he pretended to be studying it. He kept her busy with compliments while connecting her phone to his. When he was done, he teased her by asking, “Can w

At The Complex Soon, he was in the complex. He got out of the car and Richard drove off at once.Tim walked into the lobby, greeted his men with his head, and walked to the elevator. He pressed the button of the last floor and waited. When it opened, he walked in.The unfriendly-looking security team answered his greetings and let him in. He walked in and greeted Bright and Gilbert accordingly before walking into George's office.He was happy to see him and asked him immediately, “How did it go?”“It went well. They have started planning how to visit the house.”“Huh! So early?”“It baffles me too. Samuel reminded me of the Waitangi Day holiday.”George laughed aloud and Tim was infested.Nevertheless, Major Bolton came around earlier to have a private meeting with George before the Weekly Meeting. He heard them laughing and wondered if another manager was there. He opened the door and walked in and was surprised at their familiarity. “Good morning, Major,” Tim got up from the visit

Likewise, he sent a message to Richard and informed him that they arrived safely. He pleaded for an off on Monday. Afterward, he began to wait for his response.He had been busy since he disembarked and had not gone online. Now that he had settled in his hotel room, he could do that. He was shocked to see their story and pictures trending.He furrowed his forehead and asked himself, “Who is doing this?”Presently, he was panting and sweating despite the January cold. He sat up from the bed and read the details of the story quickly. To his delight, the post was not harmful and his details were not explicit.He tossed his phone aside and breathed in and out before lying back on the bed.“What will she do if she finds out about my past?” He asked himself.“What about her parents and brother? They are too morally upright to accept me as their son-in-law,” he lamented.The fear that he would lose her gripped him at once and he began to cry like a baby. At that point, he could not think of
