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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    "Can you just be sensible for once in your life!" a young man not more than a year older than Dustin yelled at him.He couldn't do anything right again. Being a cleaner in that restaurant had brought nothing but stains on him everywhere he went. People never respected him, but he didn't mind. All thanks to his boss too, Michael, who always embarrassed him everywhere he saw him.A year ago, his wish was granted to him. He got married to a beautiful woman, Laura and he had been content with that. Yes, he was poor and needed money, which was why he was hardworking and tried all his best. Dustin was a graduate with a great result, but finding a good job had just been too hard. "I'm sorry sir." He quickly apologized to his boss. "It's just that, I need this money, and you'll remove it from my salary! If only you could give me a small loan sir, I would really like that.""Useless man! Did you not hear of the crises our restaurant is facing? How can you still ask me such a ridiculous requ

    "What do you mean what am I doing here?" Dustin raged out. "I live here, Laura? Remember!"Laura seemed perplexed. "Wait, why are you home this early?" She blurted out.Dustin still couldn't believe his eyes. How could she dare ask him that?"So I have ruined the perfect moment for you and this man, is that it?" Dustin frowned. He then turned to see who the hell was on his matrimonial bed.Before he could say anything, the man asked. "Who is this son of a bitch?"What? Son of a bitch? Dustin was hurt and angry. His fist was a ball of rage now.Dustin took a close look at the man and realized he would be no more than a few years older than him. His hair was blonde with fair skin and pink lips. He looked like Barbie's Ken."Answer me, baby? Who is this?" The man asked again.Laura bit her lips, then suddenly, her face was hard. "My love, this is...just someone I'm living with."Dustin couldn't believe his ears. "Just someone you're--""--ignore him. We'll be back a minute now, okay?" La

    The air was chilly as it was winter season. Dustin was walking down the street with his shirt doing little effort to protect him from the cold.He still couldn't get the whole scene from his head. How could she treat him like that? And with no remorse whatsoever?He knew he didn't have where to go, but his friends, two besties of his, Mark and Tom, would have enough space to accommodate him. He always did nice things for them whenever he had the chance to, so repaying his kindness shouldn't be a hard thing to do. In fact, he trusted them. They were good people.His phone rang and he saw it was one of his friends, Tom."Hey buddy, what's up?" he said, trying to hide the pain in his voice."Dustin, you don't have to lie but is it true? That you're jobless and now single?" Tom asked."Whoa, whoa, calm down. Jobless? Of course not." Dustin said."But the news about your wife is true then."Dustin frowned. How did he know already? It hasn't even been thirty minutes yet!"Wait, how did you

    Dustin couldn't believe his life. Kidnapped? In broad daylight?"Please! Let me go!" He struggled with the strange men that were now dragging him somewhere after placing black sack on him.His mind was racing, wondering what was happening. Finally, the car stopped abruptly."Careful, you reckless driver! Treat our young master with respect, will you!" One voice yelled out."Sorry boss." The man who was the driver said immediately.Wait...young master??who?The blindfold was removed and he was gently brought down the van. The men were on black suits with stern faces, each of them giving him a low bow for some reason."You've found the wrong man. Please let me go now." Dustin said, trying to reason with them.The one who looked like their boss, very tall with brown ponytail and huge body, chuckled."We've been searching for you, young master. This is not a mistake." he said, "please sir, come with me.""To where?" Dustin inquired. Then he turned to see a great mansion staring back at hi

    "Yes." His father replied. "Who else did you think would inherit all of my hard work, huh?"Dustin was still staring in complete shock. All his?? Could his day get any better???"Wow. I'm honored. I just dunno what to say...it's all...real?" He was staring at his dad with such shock, like if he stared too serious, his dad would disappear again."No. This is all real, my boy. Your mother would have been so proud of you." his dad said. He was so happy to reunite with his son again."Alright then. But first, we need to eat and you need a proper rest. So we can discuss your taking over. It's getting late anyway...""Dad, are you kidding me? I want to hear your plans now." The look on his face was very firm, one that did not accept any bargaining."Wow, you are still so stubborn as before." his dad teased. "Okay then, firstly, I need you to meet someone important.

    "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.

    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.

    Her job

    "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
