Esther was so excited that she could take her sister's car for a ride. Even though Tania was always so stubborn, she still loved her baby sis.

“Wow thank you so much, Tania.” She said, excitedly. “You are the best!”

“Stop getting all excited, Esther. I'm only doing this because I need you to realize that no matter what, you are part of this family too.” Tania said.

Ella was angry. “I can't believe that you get to enjoy a sweet ride alone, mom and not me.” she said pouting.

“Oh don't be too angry. Maybe tomorrow it can be your turn.” Esther said, she ignored the side glance that her sister turned to her.

“Just listen, I need you to be very careful with this car, okay? And don't fucking call me that something is up. I probably won't even pick up your call.” Tania said.

“I am not a baby, Tania. Come on, stop embarrassing me.” Esther said.

“I'm serious. Alora is busy and Paul is back with Mark. Maybe you can call your daughter though. She might come to your rescue.” Tania said.

    “Dustin! Wait up. Oh what am I doing? Can he even help me.” Esther thought to herself but she chased after him at last.Dustin was a bit startled to see she was the one calling him. He frowned but decided to be a bit formal. “Hello ma'am, how can I help you? It's quite surprising to see you here.”Esther began to say, not knowing what exactly to tell him or how to tell him. Lastly, she was able to give a fake narration of how things had happened. “Well, you see, your girlfriend’s mother was able to help me out today to make my day a lot more fun. So she helped me by giving me her car to go for a ride today, only with the condition that nothing must wrong.”Dustin rolled his eyes but not visible enough for her to see. He realized that now, something must have gone wrong, despite the innocent woman's warning. “But as you must have been guessing right now, something went wrong. I ran into some sons of a bitch and was even trying to help them settle their fight, but guess what? They tra

    “What are you saying? That bastard man named Dustin? Oh you don't worry, I'm going to deal with him by myself. Who the hell does he think he is?” Mark yelled out angrily.“Mark I don't understand what is happening but I'm sorry. And I know we can settle our differences but I love this man and I'm not getting married to you.” Alara said.“Huh? What nonsense is this?” after everything that I've done for you? And you and your family still treat me like this?” Mark yelled out.“Treat you like what? We didn't do anything wrong, Mark. And as for my son, I have no idea he had wronged you. Or even my foolish sister, I didn't know she had wronged you and your men. And like Alara said, we can apologize and make up for that. But not by marriage.” Tania said.Mark roared out in laughter. “And I will deal with this man, don't worry too much about it. All I want you to know is that I will make you mine, and very soon, Alara. Because you should know that I can't

    Dustin was already expecting mark. He walked in, not hiding the anger that resided in his eyes. “Let's get this over with, shall we!” He roared out as he picked a seat and sat on it. Dustin was wondering why a strange man like mark would hate him, but he remembered what his uncle used to tell him. “Jealousy is often an expression of insecurity and thus its fixing requires internal reflection and addressing matters of self esteem.” He smiled as he spoke out. This only made mark to frown very hard. “What the hell are you talking about now?” he rolled his eyes. Dustin knew exactly what he was talking about. “Is this really because Alara and I are dating?” he spilled out and nearly bursted out in laughter when he saw Mark face turn red. “See I guess that's why.”Mark laughed out loud. “You really are a prick, aren't you? A fool even, thinking that you're so important and even someone as rich and influential as myself to fear and worship you, cowering under your feet?” he shot an arch

    Even after Alara tried to hide the worry in her eyes, she knew her mother could tell she was worried about something. Her mom could see her emotional current like it was lightning. She often guessed that was how she was always the eye of her storms, a little clarity and perspective could always do that.“Mom, stop staring like that. I really am okay.” She said to her mother.“Well I can tell okay, no matter how you try to hide it, I can always tell, ever since you were little. And you were so bad at hiding your emotions.” her mother said to her and Alara found out that she was laughing now.“Even Dustin makes that joke every once in a while too mom.” Alara said, grinning foolishly now.“When my Dad skipped out of our lives you became our mom. Not because you haven't always been our mom even when dad was around, but because you spent every waking hour earning enough money to pay the mortgage and buy groceries. Sometimes I think back to how I used to whine for the cool stuff other kids

    The umbrella snapped closed, releasing a gravity defying plume of small droplets. Dustin pulled down his hood and shook his hair to gain some life back into his flattened locks.Alara hugged him as he came back. “Wow, you need to get yourself all dried up!” She exclaimed upon seeing him. They went up to her room together and got him changed. She had to get one of Paul's clothes so Dustin could get changed into it. Meanwhile, Mark had just come in. He was soaking wet but he just took off his coat and sat down. His mouth salivated as he saw the delicious looking meal that was presented before him.“Wow, all this for me? I must say that you are now very smart, miss Smith.” He said to Tania. “Just seat down already. This dinner is not for just you. We have a very important guest in our midst too.” She said, not looking nice and reserved at all. “The way you talk sometimes, it's scary. You know that, right? So tell me, why have you been waiting for me since then.” He asked her.“We were

    Dustin walked in, and was already expecting the face that was there with him. “Hey what are you doing here now?” Dustin frowned at the face that was in front of him. Mark was looking so proud of himself now. “Have you not learnt your lesson yet? You mentioned and even confidently that you could get me out of here, so why are you here now? Have you suddenly changed your mind?” He frowned at mark, trying to understand the expression in his eyes.“I came here to remind you who the real boss is.” Mark said at last after studying him for a while. “Let me tell you something that you don't seem to know.” He said to Dustin and was glad that he listened. “You don't seem to know this, but I did a little research on you, and I have found out that you worn here. But I don't know exactly what you do here though, I don't need to know.” He said confidently and Dustin nearly shook his head for him.His lack of inquiry was what would be his doom.

    Mark noticed that his phone had been ringing for a while now. He didn't want to pick it up but finally had no choice but to do so as people were beginning to stare at him and wondering why he was ignoring his calls.He did not mean for anyone to tag him as a weirdo. He frowned and picked up the call.“Why the hell have you been ignoring my calls! Huh, mark? What the hell is your problem? Or do you want to say that you don't have my money with you?” The person said angrily to mark.Mark rolled his eyes. “Of course I should have known that the only reason you would call me was only because of money. Well don't you worry yourself. I will take care of this, even before you will realize it. I told you that I have a deal to win, and once I do that, you will have your money already available for you!

    If I am a house, it is built of love, and the floor is my faith in who I am. Your cynicism ate away at the walls and hit the floor until one day it cracked. The perfect house everyone knew and loved fell completely. Recovery was the biggest challenge I have ever achieved, and only possible because I love my family, community and nature. I rebuilt my house, a brick at a time; I put in new floors and polished them to a homely brown. There are times I still find that there is a brick missing here and there, or perhaps the floor needs bringing back to a shine, but I made it.Nothing is ever free, is it, my love? Everything you ever give me is a debt, "remember who gave that to you, remember I did that for you." Every conversation is a subtle competition you are never prepared to loose, for even the smallest of infractions can bring on your anger. You take all the love I give you like it is your right to have it, and in return show only the most superficial of understanding. You dominate m

    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.

    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

    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.

    "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.

    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.

    "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
