The Failed Reconciliation

The rest handed theirs to him one after the other. Afterward, he faced the General Manager for the next instruction."Let us have the result, please.”“Okay, Captain,” he said and began to unfold the papers and displayed them one after the other while they watched him.At last, he revealed that three people voted for the citizens and six for Mr. Kennedy.“Unpatriotic citizens,” Capt. Graham blurted out and they laughed aloud.The third vote for the citizens vindicated George who was quiet during the argument. None of them could say whom he stood for. It would have been easier to dictate if the votes for the citizens were two and it would be obvious that only the Accountant and Capt. Bruce voted in favor of the citizens.“This is business and must be given a business approach,” George stated.“You are right, Sergeant. Besides, no citizens had indicated interest,” Capt. Trenton said.“And we can't go looking for them. A bird at hand ….”“Is worth two in the bush,” they interrupted Capt.

The Failed Reconciliation 1

“Excuse me, Your Excellency. How did your reconciliation meeting go?”He ignored him and joined the taxi driver who just stopped in front of him.At Raino Gen. Anderson had embarrassed his country enough and the citizens were not happy. Before he boarded the plane, he learned from the news that there was a coup in his country, and his Second in Command was the interim Head of State.“I expected that,” he mumbled. In the broadcast, all their borders were closed, and no one could travel in or out of Raino. He was disoriented when he heard that the flight he booked had been canceled.“Ha! What have I done to myself,” he murmured.Now, the passenger was disgruntled and blamed him for their predicament. “Look at what the Head of State has caused,” they grumbled.At that point, he needed to hide his face to avoid being lynched. Without security guards and pressmen, he was not significant, and it favored him. He sneaked out of the lobby and headed to the airport hotel as a commoner.At Th

Two Can Play The Game

“It is a brief trip. I hope to be back tomorrow,” he explained.“It is okay. I wish you a safe trip,” Tim stated and he was pleased.“Thank you for your concern.”“You are welcome.”He was relieved that he had crossed the hurdle. He thought that he would ask many questions but he did not. Likewise, he returned to work afterward. The day moved gradually and Tim continued to work in the vehicle while Richard and the chef continued to survey the place. After a while, he called the Second in Command.“Hello, Tim. How are you?”“Hello. Good afternoon, Your Excellency. I'm great,” he answered and updated him on Ambrose's proposed trip.The Second in Command smiled softly and advised him, “Permit him to fool himself.”“I got it, Your Excellency. One more thing.”“Yes. Let's hear it.”“I have asked the construction company to construct a mobile house in the field for the workers.”“Why mobile houses?”“I opted for that because we don't know where the precious stones are and erecting a permane

The Birthday

Samuel was in high spirits as the birthday drew closer, and it affected everyone, especially the old man who was always at home with him. Their union was a relief to Tim and the others who go to work because they had learned to be alone. Meanwhile, Samuel was a lovely chap to be with and for the first time, the old man remembered that he had no physical money.“How do I support him on his birthday?” He asked himself.After much deliberation, he concluded, “He will revoke the fixed deposit account and get some precious stones. We can sell them and get some cash.” George returned from work that day, and he informed him of his intentions. George did not want to argue with him.“How much do you wish to support him with?” He asked after listening to him.His father informed him of the amount and he accepted it, “It is all right. Is there anything else you want me to know?”“Nothing for now,” he answered and he left for his room.They converged at the dining table that night and discussed

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

The Birthday 2

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

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

The Birthday 4

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

The Birthday 5

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

The Birthday 6

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
