The Return of General Williams The Celebration 1
At Tim's HouseThe 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

At The General Manager's Office“Hey! You always come when he is not on his seat,” Stephanie announced excitedly when he walked in.“Really?” He asked with a happy demeanor.“Yes. 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 faced Tim and greeted him cheerfully, “Good morning, Sir.”“Good morning, Clerk. How are you?”“I'm fine, Sir. Did you travel?” He asked with concern.Tim was surprised to hear him and answered all the same, “No. I did not. Why did you ask?”“Secretary said you traveled, and I said no, you could be busy.”Stephanie laughed and said, “You have won. He did not travel.”The clerk laughed happily and Tim l

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,

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
