The Powerful Dustin Rodriguez first day
It was a "busy-ness suit," the one my father would wear when he had no time for all the things that made him human. All his best and most wonderful traits were suffocating under that tweedy cloth.The business suit was as crisp as a new banknote and dyed to a uniform shade of bleak grey. Above white collar line it was as if his face had been fashioned from those inky dots.The business suit laid over his skin as a soul-coffin; as if his child self was buried while he wore it all those long hours. Perhaps he tried to dig up that original-self come the evening time, the child self who was born to love and play, but I think over the decades the layers get so deep it was too hard to resurface.The business suit was cold on waxy skin that craved the sun. When he froze in calculating thought he could have been one of those Madame Tussauds dummies, perfectly chiseled and cold.He stood there in the aristocratic cutting lines of a great tailor, one who could take his under-exercised and over-
The Powerful Dustin Rodriguez Celebration
"I have become as the wind, though some may think it not calm in a gale, it remains so. Strength and force can be calm too, because they are done with loving certainty for good reason." Dustin said to them all as be was in a setting. A dinner setting.Alara was beside him now and they both laughed out with joy and excitement. Conor was there too."My sense of calm is anchored in my well earned self confidence. I have faced the trials and won thus far. I can take on the rest.""Were so good to have you back then," Alara smiled. Her voice remained as warm as early spring, as if her heart beat so steadily even though she took a different view from Mac. She simply said this was her way of doing things. I could see Ezra balk at first, so accustomed he was the to ways of Imelda and her fiery temper. Verity was different, she absorbed things and then responded more than reacted, dampened situations rather than adding to the flames. And so before I knew it everything was happy again, it was

"You brat, what is a wretched man like you doing here?" Sandro said. Sandro was a man disturbing Dustin, not knowing who he was that he was wealthy.Dustin rolled his eyes. He had to careful around men like him. Men like Sandro were pigs and he had to be careful, else he would drag him into the mud."Sandro, what a surprise, what's a man like you doing in this really important place?" Dustin said with an amused tone.Sandro frowned. "Listen to me, you have no idea who you're messing with.""I'm not messing with anyone. Mind your business, and I'll mind mine." Dustin said, not so smiley now."Ha! Look at you trying to talk to me like a man when you've been stripped off that right a long time ago. You're here for another pathetic interview, aren't you?" Sandro said mocking him.Dustin couldn't help but remember all the time when he had been searching for a job and was always getting declined. So, this fool knew about it too. They mocked him and were sure he would never find a job.He re
The Powerful Dustin Rodriguez Truth
A love that isn't considerate and kind is not love at all. It is merely an emotional attachment. Bonds can be made for selfish reasons or simply fail to mature to real love. For love to be real each partner puts the other first, each treasures the other above themselves. In love we don't hold one another back, we aspire one other to new heights while always being there to catch after falls, pick the other up, set them back on the road to success and happiness."Love hurts" is the biggest lie out there. Love heals, love makes people whole again and love fills them with the goodness they need to be as kind and loving as their Creator intended. What hurts is betrayal, thoughtlessness, uncaring attitudes and careless gossip. What hurts is people being unfriendly, not welcoming a new person to neighbourhood or making "exclusive" cliques that are defined by who is "not welcome." What hurts is bullying, harassment, selfishness and greed.Love on the other hand is the greatest gift mankind ev

Alara was all dressed that morning. It was going to be a big day so she needed to be her very best.She heaved in a deep sigh, then straightened her shoulders. She headed down the stairs to meet her weird little family. Her mother, Tania, was making breakfast so she leaned forward to kiss her on her cheeks. “Hey mom, good morning.” She gave her a warm smile. Her mother's face brightened. “Oh my darling, you look so beautiful.” She said. “Thanks mom, that means a lot. I had literally put in so much work–” as she was saying, a slender petite lady with pony tail blonde hair walked in.She eyed everyone and smirked. “Hey aunty, hey cuz, what's popping?” She said at last.Ella was Alara’s annoying cousin, Esther's daughter, who was Tania’s sister. Ever since they were living with Alara, they'd been making life unbearable, but her mother refused to accept that fact.“Hey hon, good morning.” Said Tania. “Where's your mother?” She asked.Ella shrugged. “Dunno. Oh these looks delicious.” Sh

Dustin sat down and maintained his posture through out the next five minutes in silence. He knew that everyone were staring at him but he said nothing.Ella was already checking him out. “Well he looks handsome though, but is he really rich? Well we're about to find out.” She thought to herself. Then decided to speak, but Paul was the first to speak.“So, where did you get this suit you're putting on?” He asked. Dustin blinked. Why would he be asking that kind of question, but he shrugged it off and replied. “Royal home,”Paul did not hear him well. Royal home? It was one of the most expensive boutiques in the world! And he would be able to afford a suit there?? Impossible!He laughed out instead and was surprised to see that Ella was laughing too. “You? Royal home!?” He was wheezing now. Same with Ella.“Did my cousin tell you to say this! Ha!” Ella snorted.Alara and her mother were not laughing. But even Esther was chuckling now. She quickly straightened up her posture and cleared

With the connections Dustin have earned, he quickly got to work. He didn't want to have to involve Alara so he decided not to. Besides, she was enjoying her one leave break.Dustin couldn't deny it but he missed not having her around sometime. He called Bobby and Vincent and they were already at the office.His secretary called, “hello sir, your guests have arrived. Should I send them in now?” she asked.Dustin nodded, forgetting for an instant that the secretary couldn't see him. He cleared his throat and said instead, “Yes. Send them in.” Soon, Vincent and Bobby were in his office.“I see you acknowledge our presences around you now and have stopped seeing us a weirdos.” Vincent said.“Oh please, don't get your hopes all high. I still see you guys as weirdos. Aren't you?” Dustin said and they all laughed.Finally, he went straight to business. “The blue team project, what do you know about it?”“It's hosted by Mr. Tomar, an Indian billionaire. He wants just one person on his list,

“Just as I have said, to prove you guys wrong, Alora will receive a call soon about the blue teal project.” Dustin started.They said nothing but he could see the disbelief in their eyes.“So, that's why I called Alara I wanted to come over. Also, I would like to have dinner here as well.” He said.Ella broke the silence. “What did you just say? How are we supposed to believe what you're saying now? You don't know what yours saying.” She said and Paul instantly backed her up.“Blue teal project is very reserved. There's no way someone like you could have access to earning the contract!” He said.“How exactly are you going to win it? Although nothing will change even if you don't win and all.” Esther said, ignoring her sister's warning look.“You'll see soon. Meanwhile, let's talk about something else. Paul, what are you working on at the moment? In the business lane.” Dustin asked.“Why is that any of your concern?” Paul snapped back.Alara stepped in. “He works for a rich man, he's a

New thing
Dustin tried to calm his wife down. He realized that she had been truly angered by Esther sudden behavior for wanting to create a grand wedding for Tom and not her. It was truly devastating and he couldn't deny that. "Alara?" He called out to her, knocking gently on the door. His voice remained as warm as early spring, as if her heart beat so steadily even though she took a different view from him. She simply said this was her way of doing things. He could see her balk at first, so accustomed he was the to ways of Alara and her fiery temper. He was different, because he absorbed things and then responded more than reacted, dampened situations rather than adding to the flames. And so before he knew it everything was happy again, it was love all around instead of the bickering he was so accustomed to. It was a sense of calm he grew to love.And he would be teaching it to his wife now. "This path of life is challenge enough," he began to say. Dustin remembered a little of what his moth

Lies
On this cloudy morning there are growing patches of blue, the sort of hue that is soft and bright at the same time. Though beneath the sheet of cloud is a grey that deepens to steel, the leading edge is a brilliant white, as if it is the pages of a new book ready for any curious eye. So, on this day that could bring rain or sunshine, I'm hoping for both, for the chance of a rainbow and to feel so much more because the day is blessed with clouds.Light grew steadily outside until the curtains glowed just the same as stained glass. Kevin stuck his head behind the fabric to survey what the day might bring. The road was slick with water, though the puddles remained quite still, no hint of rain still falling. Above the clouds were still grey but without the denseness of yesterday, allowing patches of blue to form.In good moods a writer may paint words that are fine wine and soft music; words that contain more healing medicine than all the drugs created by man. They are clear water over ro

Time
Paul set out to visit Dustin that day, and as he arrived their doorstep, he decided to make a phone call to his sister so she wouldn't say he came in unaware. The phone rang a few times and she still hadn't picked up. When he learned to soothe his impatient self, the rewards were significant. His focus improved, and his relationships became more mellow, and everything in his day worked that little bit better. It made all the difference. Over time he saw others learning from him, relaxing, and the vibe of his family took a turn for the better. She still wasn't picking up for whatever reasons. Finally at the last ring, she picked up. "Yes, Paul ? What do you want?" Asked her voice in a quite impatient manner, like she had been in a hurry. "Where are you to be hurrying me like that?" He asked, wondering why his sister was using that manner to refer to him. Then it hit him. She didn't really like him as well as her husband, and he certainly couldn't blame them at all. He probably would

The Queens
Esther was with her other queens, and they had nearly ended their meeting. She listened carefully to Regina's silly talks about how she was powerful and well respected. She purposely pointed fingers at Esther, stating that she had been less important just because she was going through some rough times. Esther was silent all through the time because she didn't even bother to pay attention to their silly talks. All she could focus her kind was on her family. She realized that her family had been falling apart slowly. He husband had been acting strangely towards her for reasons she couldn't even explain. But then, she hoped it had been for a great cause. She couldn't even put her mind on that for long. Then there was the issue with her daughter and then with her enemies, Fernando and ezra. alara wasn't safe at all.

"Well, we don't have a head queen so technically, I'm speaking on behalf of her." "Well I don't agree. Until we have a head queen, you don't have the right to strip me off my membership." She said, still standing strong on her word. She was terrified on the inside of course! But she would not show her weaknesses. Regina frowned. "Well until then. But for now, being the owner of my house I say this to you. Get out of my house!" She ordered and more laughter grew wild again. Esther couldn't help but feel nothing but shame. But she wouldn't be waking away just like that. She strode over to Regina then stood face to face with her. "You're going to regret this Regina. In fact, all of you will regret this. I will make an attendance of everyone of you in this room. Regina, Dana, camera woman Anna, Rachel, Danielle, in fact all of you. And I remember vividly of the faces in the room here. I know all of you. Mark my words, you will regret this." And with that, she stomped out sitting the do

The Smiths
Alara and her husband had been expecting the peculiar twain, Ezra Alonzo and Trevor, his son in law. Why they had been asking for an audience with Dustin , he didn't know. All he knew was that they were up to no good. Finally, they arrived and he led them to the living room. He had told Alara to remain inside because his instincts had been right. They only wanted to scan around to check everywhere, and most importantly, they wanted to find out what his wife knew. He was almost certain that they would try to find out a little too much and he didn't know how, so for that reason, he had asked that his wife remained inside. "Welcome Mr Ezra Alonzo and Trevor." dustinsaid, and this brought both faces to exchange awkward stares. dustinknew they were probably wondering how he had known their names. He decided to ease the tension a little. "I was told of your names before you arrived." dustinsaid, and he could see the calmness in their eyes as they each have a sigh of relief. Ezra bro

Message
For the first time in weeks, Mindy made her way over to Dustin again, and she couldn't even explain how exactly she was feeling. For one reason, she was angry. Very frustrated that he was still married to his goddamn wife! She loved him and would always do. And yet, not even for once had he reciprocated her feelings. Heaving in a deep sigh, she advanced forward to make a knock on the door. "Don't worry, Mindy. Breath it in," and with that, she made a knock on the door. It hadn't been a loud bang, rather barely more than a slight knock, but almost immediately, the door had flung wide open. "Oh God, you're back..." He was standing before her, staring like he had been day dreaming, probably wondering what the fuck she had been doing at his footstep. "Oh I thought you were someone else," he said so apologetically. That frustrated her even more. He had probably been excited thinking that she was his dear wife! She had better not show her true emotions to avoid failing on the first day o

The breakup
"This relationship, Dustin, should be a relation-ship, or a kinship - something that makes us family. I want it to be something that unites our friends, our relations, and not become as a boat cast adrift away from those we know and love. What is good builds up goodness, heals and includes others. What is good is a benefit to us and our community, to the world. It is how we let this love for one another spill out, make a light for others to share. So, my love, hoist the sail; we're homeward bound.""Wait you just thought of saying something as compelling as this to me because what?" He said to her, half shocked. She only smiled back, her eyes and dimples crinkling as she did. Alara was very beautiful although she never seemed to listen to him whenever he made mention of it to her. "Thank you a lot for the comforting words. I won't forget. You know," but he stopped then grinned as he thought of what to say and he knew already that she might have not been too impressed. "But then, e

"Sir, I have done as you've asked. What is your plan now?" Mindy asked as she saw Dustin talking to himself. She sat with him. He didn't even do as if someone was there, just minding his own business and calculating now and what he would do to his rival. Sometimes she always wondered what it was that was truly going on in that mind of his, but she knew he was very smart and full of advices and plans. And she was always so glad that she was now on their team.Business had to ask themselves if they were exploiting the population or uplifting them, especially in relation to the young and if not, it failed. For what is psychological maturity other than learning how to make wise choices to protect others? The glorification of greed was as a golden tricycle being pedalled in circles at the end of a cul-de-sac... yet believing itself a fancy car shooting into the far horizon. Greed is always the product of a brain with underdevelopment of its more highly evolved features. But there he was
