"Did you miss your way?" A sudden hoarse voice knocked Jaai out of his thoughts. Ever since he stepped out of the cab, his gaze has been glued to the blue car that was parked on the other side of the road. The car looked familiar, but he wasn't sure what to think. Now that he has been interrupted, he could focus on why he had come here. "Is the director home?" Jaai went straight to the point. He could see the condescending look in the eyes of the gate man. That was not his business. It wasn't his fault that some people don't understand what basic manner means!"Even if he is home, he surely does not want to see you." The gate man argued. "You either open the door or we make a scene here. The choice is yours." Jaai was very resolute as he staked his claim. The gate man was surprised to see him act like this. Jaai was usually an easygoing man. The fact that he was acting like this must mean that something is wrong. The gate man thought for a moment. His boss didn't tell him anyth

""Jaai!!!"" Everyone exclaimed as Jaai walked. The director still felt glued to the spot after stepping out of the way for Jaai. Jada was in utmost shock as she stared at Jaai. It would seem as though the whole world had turned into a soft ball that continously spin around her head. '"What's happening? How's he here?"" Marcus was as stupefied as the rest of the family. ""Didn't you say that he slumped into coma? How can he be here?"" Gerard took his turn. ""Talk to me, Jada! What's happening here? Did you lie to me?!!!"" Elaine was about to lose her mind. If there was anything that Elaine loathed the most. It was being made a fool of. She could go to the extent of skinning anyone alive. And now to think that her daughter would do that to her, supported by the director? Elaine didn't know what to think. ""Never mother. I s-swear on my life. I d-didn't lie to you."" Jada stuttered, still feeling the spin in her head. There were too many things to process for her. The thought of

[Chime! System acclimatization resumes.][Militation registered! Host's brain shutting down due to immense pressure.][Repairing! Host slipping into a Rest mode.]""Jaai!"" Jada exclaimed and rushed to him. The doctor and his nurses got to Jaai first and helped him from hitting the floor again. Perhaps if he did, it could cause him even more damage. ""We'll take him with us right away."" The doctor concluded, pulling Jaai up to his feet. It wasn't as though he was waiting for the endorsement of Elaine. He had already concluded. He couldn't imagine why Elaine would want to stop him from taking Jaai away to the hospital. The doctor was assisted by the nurses and they drag-walked Jaai out of the foyer. ""Jaai!!!"" Jada ran after them.Marcus quickly ran and stood in her way. ""Where are you going?"" He asked, looking quite serious. ""What do you mean? My husband just slumped. Shouldn't I be beside him?"" She was at the verge of tears as she said these words. ""What are you? A doc

The grand hall of the Hullevard family was bustling with people. Today was the birthday party of the patriach of the family. Everyone was present. The children, grandchildren, sons-in-law, daughters-in-law, grand children, grand sons-in-law, grand daughters-in-law, great grand children and many more. The patriach, Chairman Hullevard had three sons and one daughter. The daughter is the eldest, but she was accorded the least respect because of her marital life. She married late amongst all the children of the patriach, so technically, the children of her siblings were pretty much older than her children. Also, the rumors and controversies surrounding the death of her husband was enough to ostracized her family from the extended family. Well, today wasn't the day for establishing differences. It was the day when all the family members got along. It was the great day to celebrate the old man. All hands must be on deck. The large door of the hall opened all of a sudden and all the ch

"I'll just ask the grandson of the Colonel. The kid is an instructor of any culturally influenced instrument." The old man said. Then, a cough. The old man slowly looked back to Baron. "You've done well, Wirtz Jr. Your father should be proud of you." Following the praise of the old man, Baron felt like a horse was riding within him. He felt on top of the world. There was no doubt. His family will definitely get the favor of the old man. He could walk back to his family with his head in the sky. His father met him with a big smile. There was no limit to chivalry and planning. "I'm very proud of you. Today can't get any better." Wirtz playfully pat Baron on the shoulder. "In fact, I forgive your mother."While they revel in the moment, an activity ensued across the aisle.A certain smell swelled across the hall, influencing the air with something somewhat foul and pleasant at the same time. "What's that smell?""It smells very different. Ancient, you would say?"Archie rose to his
