At Tim's House

The family was chatting happily in the parlor after their lunch when they heard some cars driving into the compound.

“Big brother is back,” Samuel shouted and got up at once.

The others got up as well and followed him out of the house. They got to the foyer and saw George and his team. He got out of the car with his devices and a bag.

Samuel walked to him, welcomed him,m and collected the bag.

“Why so early,” Tim asked him.

He saluted him accordingly and informed him about the results of the promotional exams.

Tim was thrilled. He spread his arms and said, “This calls for a hug.”

“Yes, Boss,” he said and walked into the outspread hands.

They hugged each other tightly. After a few seconds, Tim tapped his back and said, “I am proud of you.”

“Thank you for the compliment. I promise not to let you down.”

They released each other, and he hugged his father, too, “Congratulations, Son. I am pleased to hear this,” he complimented him.

“Thank you, Dad.”

Afterward, they walked in

Good morning,” she answered.“Good morning, Secretary. I can wait for him.”“It is all right. Kindly sit down,” she said and ushered him to a seat.“Thank you, for the offer,” he said and sat down.“What of the clerk?” He looked at his empty table and asked.She looked towards the pantry and saw him walking back to his desk.“Are you through?” Stephanie asked him.“Yes, Secretary,” he answered and sat down.

    He recalled how he laughed with Ella the day she said that her choice of gift depended on who was giving it to her. Instantly, his mood dropped and he rounded up his dinner.“What if we give her a neutral thing that is generally accepted? Such as a handset?” George asked without noticing his father's mood.The old man got up and they were surprised. They focused on him, and he said, “Good night, everyone.”“We have not concluded, Old man,” Samuel revolted.He smiled dryly and said, “The birthday is not now. Is it?”“No, Old man.”“Good. We can continue tomorrow.”“It is all right. Good night.”“Good night,” everyone said simultaneously and they continued.Tim was pleased with George's suggestion and added, “A handset is good. We can also gift her with a cake.”“Yes. In addition to the handset, we will gift her with a cake that will be decorated beautifully with her picture,” Samuel accepted.“And her name written boldly on it,” Gerald stated.“That is a good one,” George accepted.Now

    At Laura's House They were silent throughout their journey back. They got into the house that she likened to a dog house a few minutes ago and sat down. Her anguish increased when she compared it with the houses in the estate.Nevertheless, Pa Dickson wished that it could be a dream and he would soon wake up to reality.“I thought the birthday boy gave him a job? Why is he with the government?” Laura asked after she found her bearings.To her despondency, her parents were lost in their different thoughts that they did not hear her. After a long silence, her father drew a long breath and said, “This is strange. No wonder he has a handset.”“Huh! Is that all you saw? Can't you see that he owns a car and a driver?”“A military car at that,” Laura chipped in.“That is true. I think he is the person in charge. Otherwise, he wouldn't have a driver.”“You are right, Dad. But how did they trace our house? Who directed them?” “It baffles me. If only we knew that birthday celebrant, we woul

    After he walked away, Samuel faced Tim and asked, “What about Fabian? Is he not working here again?”“Not at all. He preferred to go into entertainment.”“Ha! That had been his heart's desire.”“Yes. After performing at your birthday, he was spotted by a producer who signed a contract with him.”“Wow! I'm happy for him.”The old man was excited to hear that and appreciated what Samuel did for humanity the more. He tapped his back and said, “You don't know what you did for them. Their unborn generations will benefit from this.”“Yes,” Tim looked at him and said.“I'm glad that I was able to help.”Shortly, Valentine and Pa Suresh arrived. He was so happy to see Samuel whom he hardly recognized. Despite his work clothes, he walked up to him and hugged him.“I'm so happy too, see you, Samuel,” he looked into his eyes and said.“I'm delighted to see you too. I can see that you are adjusting to work?”“Yes. I have adjusted. Thank you once again for saving us from poverty.”“It is good tha

    “Oh my God! You proposed that I should shift my birthday from Saturday to Monday. Now you have forgotten.”“Oh, my goodness! Pardon my forgetfulness, Your Majesty. Happy birthday in advance.”“Thank you for your wishes. But promise me that you will be around on Monday.”“A slave has no time of his own and cannot make promises with it. I will be around if my boss permits me.”“Oh! I remember.”“Goodbye for now.”“Bye,” they said simultaneously.He walked into the elevator and sent a message to George.(We can continue the speech writing at home. I'm starving).The message confused George because he could not say why he just arrived and started complaining of hunger. All the same, he replied, (I got it.)At Smirnoff's Office Everything was going smoothly and the preparations for the celebration were on top gear. Although he was not shortlisted for promotion he had his pound of flesh. Throwing the Head of State and the nation into turbulence made his day.“At least he was restless for s

    He looked at the directions of the Archbishop and his team of bishops and clergymen. In the same vein, he looked at the Chief Judge and his team and they were smiling.Nevertheless, he continued his speech by enumerating the achievements of the company since the new President took over and the audience was thrilled.“Finally, it may interest you to know that we discovered The Blue Diamond, a rare precious stone in Canterbury…”The audience interrupted him and began to murmur, “Ha!”“Wow!”“The Blue Diamond in Canterbury!”“This is splendid.”“Very impressive.”Afterward, he continued, “That is the icing on the cake. The country has never experienced such in her history and we return all the glory to God.”“Amen,” they chorused.“Finally, with your prayers and support, we promise to do more. The Canterbury Heroes Borough and the Steel Mill will be ready before the half of the coming year. Thank you for listening,” he concluded and carefully avoided the defeat of Gen. Hanklin of South C

    The old man was beautifully dressed for the celebration, and people like Ella would not recognize him because he looked younger and healthier.He got up and they walked to the podium while the audience looked on in awe. The Head of State smiled and said, “Welcome to the podium again Mr. Young.”“Thank you, Your Excellency,” he looked into his eyes and said.George furrowed his brow and looked on in wonderment while the Head of State continued, “Canterbury wished to recognize you for a specific deed. In less than a year, the brave son you gave to us has served Canterbury gallantly. Through him, we conquered nations. He administered justice where necessary. We can also say that he shut the mouths of lions, quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword. His youth, which would have been his weakness, was turned to strength. He became powerful in battle and destroyed foreign armies and enemies.”He stopped when the clapping ovation was louder than his Mic. Therefore,

    “Oh! I did not see it that way. We should do something different from Oliver's regime. I will invite the Head of State or his representative to the celebration,” the fake Duke said.“Yes. Then you will collect the certificate of recognition,” another elder said.“Also remind him of our allocation. We will use part of it for the celebration,” Elder Kefas stated.They wallowed in fools' paradise and they were happy to arrive at a consensus.At Tim's House They returned home happily and the old man was emotional. He looked at Tim and poured out his mind, “I would have been dead by now if not for you, Young man.”George, who was about to walk to his room, was touched and stopped in his tracks. He faced Tim and waited for his response.“Think nothing about it, Old man. We would all have been dead,” he said and faced Samuel.Samuel was emotional, too, but he smiled dryly and rested his head on Tim's chest. He crossed his left hand on his shoulders and the old man said, “I'm hearing this fo

    He said many things and concluded with, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you, a new Mount Olive. It is a Dukedom that will surpass other Dukedoms in Canterbury."The other Dukes grinned at his boastful remarks and said, "Don't be too sure."He laughed softly and continued. "After ...""He is laughing like Oliver," one of the Dukes pointed out."Not just that. The voice sounds like his," another Duke responded."After we close, the dignitaries, my fellow Dukes, and elders will join me at my palace for lunch," the old man continued and confused them all the more."His palace? Where is it?" One of the eight elders asked his fellow Duke."The palace of course. Oliver's house.""Is it that dilapidated house?""Yes. Is it not better than going to Harry's house?""That killer? I wouldn't have gone ""You got it," the other admitted.The old man looked at the audience and said, "The others will have their lunch in this hall.

    The question raised uproar among the youths who cheered up at once and shouted simultaneously, "Me."Just like a magic wand, the hall was electrified and the dignitaries were happy."It is good to know that all of you can. The first two people to get here will have the Mic," he stated.Despite the number that he mentioned, the youths walked briskly to the stage. In a jiffy, there were ten of them on the stage."Ha!" I want only two," he looked at their happy faces and stated.Then, he faced the excited audience and asked, "How do I drum the excess out?""By balloting," some shouted.The old man could imagine how they would feel if they were evicted and he intervened, "Permit all of them to perform.""Wow!" The ten youths shouted and appreciated him one after the other, "Thank you, Your Grace.""Thank you, Our Great Duke."He waved at them by way of response and they faced the host."Now, let us see you perform."At that point, Fabian was thrilled and wished to get back to the stage an

    The Duke paused his goodwill message and looked at the big screen like the others. The film began when the elders, especially Elder Kefas, claimed that the building belonged to their brother.Such a claim did not go down well with the citizens because they were aware that they were sworn enemies."Your brother indeed," some murmured.It also showed how a fearful-looking woman was crawling and begging for her husband's corpse. "Hey!" They screamed when the building collapsed and someone screamed.They continued watching, and one of the Duchesses, who had been silent, spoke to her husband, "They did not even bother to take him to the hospital.""You are right. They are asking for his corpse because they are aware that they killed him," another person added."Can you imagine that? They were just waiting for him to die," another duchess said."And after his precious stone.""Hey!" The audience screamed when Elder Kefas and others admitted that they were praying for the Duke to die.Befor

    Harry felt that he must nip the problem in the bud and called Tim again. The Dukes who must obey, began to file out of their seats. At that point, Tim's phone rang again and he decided to answer the caller before the Dukes would get to the podium.He brought out his phone quickly from his cross bag and looked at the caller.“Is he insane? Why is he calling me?” He asked himself angrily.To stop him from disturbing him again, he resolved to pick up the call and put things right.“Hello. How may I assist you?” He asked him.“Hello, Officer. Kindly inform the Head of State that things are going wrong in Mount Olive. You can come over and see things for yourself.”“What is going wrong if I may ask?”“The Minister wishes to install a fake Duke. You have to come over and stop …”“You are the fake Duke,” he interrupted him and declared.Before he could express his shock, Tim cut the call and focused on the installation. Meanwhile, to get a proper view of the podium, Richard got out of the b

    He shook his head negatively and said, “I don't know him.”Meanwhile, Cassie was monitoring them, and when he saw Cpl. Simpson assumed that he was aware of what he was doing and relied on his judgment.He signaled to him to ask if they were set and he nodded. Cassie was pleased and continued, “His Excellency, the Head of State represented by the Minister of Culture, the President of the Auxiliary Armory PLC, the Senior Police Officer among us, ladies and gentlemen, kindly stand up and honor the Duke as we usher him in.”Before the bewildered audience could protest, the Minister and President were already standing. They stood up, too, and looked on.The host faced the police band and signaled them to give them soft music and they complied.At the entrance door, the eight Dukes were distraught with the disorganized situation and wished that they would be allowed to leave. Meanwhile, the elders could not decide what to do, especially with the presence of the soldiers around them.“Usher

    "Thank you for bringing them, Valentine,” Richard appreciated him after the greetings.“It is my pleasure, Major,” he responded.“Thank you, Supervisor, for bringing your brother-in-law,” Tim teased him with a smirk. He smiled shyly and Tim continued, “You have not told us how you changed the rules of the strict University of Ghent within a few hours.”Valentine laughed aloud and tried to explain, “It was …”He stopped when he saw the Minister of Culture's entourage. Tim smiled broadly and waited for him to alight from his vehicle.“Good morning, Lt. Col. Swanson,” Richard and the other soldiers saluted him.He returned the salute and gave Tim a nod. He smiled at him and instructed, “Ask your secretary to get the hard copy of the program from the event planner.”“I got it, Boss,” he said and informed his secretary.The secretary moved at once. He got into the hall and walked to the event planner who was standing with his workers in the foyer.“Good morning, Event planner. I'm Cassie

    The speaker picked offense and scolded him, “Watch your tongue. How dare you insult me. Have you hosted one before?”“Of course. Do you think that I am a village man like you,”A foul mouth deserves a slap. Unexpectedly, the last speaker got two slaps on his cheeks."Hey!" He shrieked in pain and pounced on the enemy.“Stop,” the other youths shouted and tried to separate the fight.They should not have bothered because the soldiers were all over the place. They whipped them mercilessly and shouted, “Go home. All of you." Unfortunately, all of them were whipped, and the innocent ones felt bad. They began to run and rub their backs at the same time. Saturday At The Mining Field Valentine could not ask for any other life from his present one. He was so occupied with so many responsibilities that he hardly had time for himself, and he loved it so.

    While the others were interested in the news, Tim was interested in the couples. He admired their outfits and was pleased with their wives.“Their wives are beautiful,” he pointed out and continued to admire them.'So, I would have been the only person without a wife if I was there?' He asked himself and remembered Stephanie.He imagined her face and looked at the Head of State's wife and the other women. “My wife will be as beautiful as they are,” he assured himself.Now, the story of the Head of State and the stranded Lt. Col. Ben Smirnoff was over and they continued with their meal. After the meal, Tim hurriedly left for his room and began to think of life with Stephanie. He smiled and connected to her phone. “Wow!” He exclaimed when he saw her resting on the couch and watching the television.She was putting on her skimpy nightwear which exposed her straight and smooth legs. He kept admiring her with a sheepish smile.At a point, she adjusted and rested her two legs on the cent

    At The Table Tennis Court The Second in Command was not just obedient to the Head of State. He was a good person who would ensure that the right things were done. When he got the Head of State's invitation to come with his wife, he concluded that he wished to unwind after a hectic day.“I have not played table tennis for long,” his wife complained.“That won't be a problem. We can bench you from the onset, and you will be watching us,” he teased her, and she revolted.“Who will you bench? Me? Never.”Kay laughed and advised her, “Then sit up.”“I will,” she took his advice and dressed up.They arrived and met Dale, the Commandant, and their wives. After the salutations, Kay observed that the three women were putting on a tank top paired with a skirt and asked them, “Did you plan to dress like this?” The women laughed lavishly and answered one after the other.“No, we didn't, Your Excellency,” Dale's wife answered him.“It was a coincidence, Your Excellency,” the Commandant's wife
