My Family
Germany,Berlin
There was Couples who suffered a great deal to have their first child,in which they actually had after fifteen years in marriage
There was joy in their house hold as the first son came after all troubles
And after all complications that came with his birth
But prior to that time
Mr jackson the father had a dream
*****in the dream world****
Jack ,(as his father would call him) was walking in the dark without no place in mind
And suddenly a light flashed on him paving way for him
And a young boy emerged from the light rays
Jack was puzzled as to who the boy is because he saw light all over him
And surprisingly light surrounded him,and the young boy walked around
him
*********Back to reality*******
Jack woke up with fright as he was frightened at his dream, he tried to wake his wife but HE hesitated at first but he later woke her and he told her all what he dreamt
Rianna,his wife was also puzzled to know who the boy is,after much deliberation they decide to sleep and work on the dream
But they work up with another surprise
Early in the morning,an old man knocked on their door glittering with lights
As Rianna opened the door,she was surprise at the man outfit because he was all in White
She tried to cover her face with her hand but the rays still shone
"Woman you are about to have a son who will pave way for you,
But you must always hearken to his voice to be saved from danger
He's Glory is going to shine but he will always be faced with obstacle always and you must teach him to be brave and fearless
Hearken to his voice always so as to not to lose him"
And with this the man vanished before Rianna's very face.
She shook with fear as she stood on the same spot for over thirty mins ,because she can't comprehend what just happened
His message was jus short and concise
it was the tap of her husband that jerked her back to life
What's wrong baby,Jack said with a teen voice
And one would be quick to conclude that they can die for each other
Because they loved theirselves so much
The dream is coming true,we're having a baby ,Rianna said with a shaken voice
Jack was somehow confused,but he felt the presence of light around him and he was convinced,even if he did not know really
Yes baby, I can see it in your eyes,Jack said
And true to the old man words ,they begat a son who they name Donald
Whose full name is Donald Jackson
He grew up in wisdom and he was nurtured well
In five years time,they begat a son again who they named Jason Jackson
The birth of Donald pave way for all lost opportunities in the Jackson's family
They began receiving contract worth millions.
And the meaning of the dream dawned on them
The light which shone on jack happened to be the good things happening to the Jackson's family
Donald emerging from the light signifies his birth who brought forth good tidings
Donald walking around the light signifies that. if they could hearken to his voice they would be saved from danger
Donald grew up with wisdom as he attended an elite school in the city
He was doing well I'm everything ,even the school authority do call him a genius because he answers all questions in a unique way in class
The mystery behind his birth was yet to be unraveled ,because Rianna kept the words of the old man in her heart and she never even told her husband
Your son is going to be great ,but he'll face many challenges and he has to be brave and fearless,those words kept ringing In her heart
So she has to teach him to have courage ,well its up to them
Rianna thought......
********15 years later********
Donald!!!Donald!!!!
Wake up baby,Mrs Jackson shouted as.she applied finishing touch on her face
Just then Mr Jackson,her husband came in holding a black suitcase as he adjust his tie
Mrs jackson marveled at her husband dressing as he brought out his beauty making him more handsome
He wore a black Italian shoe topping it up with an Italian suit and a gold wristwatch to match
She knew the birth of Donald had made their future more brighter ,because she never imagined her husband in such an expensive wear not that she married him a pauper
No,but that her husband can not afford such expensive wears
She remembered ,when she and her husband were sharing a mini flat
But now the lord has placed them high
It was the soft touch of her husband that drifted her back to reality
Baby what are you thinking,you're thinking of our past again
Oh no,how did he know
Yea ,Jack since 16Years had the talent of predicting someone's mind by their mood
And here he is guessing right again
Baby,live the past,let our past be with the past
Don't remember when we our poor instead think about how we gotta help the poor
Mr Jackson elucidated with a British accent
I love you baby was all that could come out of Rianna's mouth
And they went into a tight hug
So Go and wake Donald,we would miss our flight by his sluggishness
Jackson said
She went to Donald room,she shouted his name while climbing the tears
But she met a shocker...
.....
Donald baby,she opened his room only to find donald snoring
Donald wake up,we're getting late,she said as she taps him repeatedly
But Donald only jerked her hands off
In the past Years Donald waa a chronic sleeper as he can sleep a whole day if permitted
So she is not surprised if he jerked her hands off
Donald,wake up
Mrs Jackson said again
Mum,Let Me sleep now,Donald said
Nah nah
Wake up now or you'll be spanked
Hearing spanking Donald jumped up
But mom,he hesitated
,we would miss our flight with your sluggishness
So its better you tidy up your room,take you bath and come meet us downstairs
OK mum,I've heard you ,
.
Rianna looker back at him on hearing the tone of his voice the same as his fathee speaks
She looked into his eyes and she saw a light sparkling,radiating
And she remembered the outfit of the old man who came to hisot her some years back
He was in white all glowing ,and she remembered her husband's dream one more time
She knew Domald would be glorious if only he could overcome
The thought of the past came again,and she knew they never could traveled if not for Donald's birth
In the last fifteen years she has travelled to twenty countries with her husband and that could never had happened if not for Donald birth which brought forth good tidings
And now their travelling to England for the second time and she praised God
They booked a First class in the plane because people already regard them as Elite in the Society
It took a tap from Donald to bring Rianna back to reality
Mom
What's wrong,I left on this spot in thought and I came back from the bathroom still meeting you on that same spot,what are you brooding about,Donald said with his English diction which they were thought in school
Nothing Son
Just reflecting on our past,Rianna answered
Mom,You know Dad would be angry when he gets to know that you're thinking
Mum,let's go of the past,else it I'll keep hunting you down
OK
Donald seat,I want to have a talk with you,Rianna said as she seat Donald's down to have a mother to child talk with him
Son,in what ever phase you find yourself in life don't ever show timidity
Always show your bravery
In life you must face obstacles,but you have to overcome them
Else you'll later regret of you don't do
Ok mom
Donald you may not understand why am telling you this
But you need to understand that you're a leader and a leader never shows cowardice
Donald you're a great man in the making ,always be courageous
Show the world you can
Mom,you said am a great man what makes you to say that
Donald asked
Open your inner mind you'll see it,And besides an angel foretold your birth
An angel ,Donald asked
Yes an angel,but a story for another day
Keep my words into your hearts and don't forget to use your talents wisely
Because they are God's divine gift
Use your talents to raise,use it to help,use it to rise
OK mom ,I love you,Donald said as he put his mom in a tight embrace
I love you too son
Just then Mr jackson entered and he felt the sweet love of mother to son
Whoa
Can i join in the embrace
Sure Dad,you're free
Donald said as he open his arms for a warm embrace
While his dad hugged both of them
And the atmosphere felts cool
As they still locked theirself in the embrace,jason came into the room also and he felt amused seeing the scene before him
Whoa
So no one to hug me now
Just leaving me alone,Jason said with a tone of jealousy
No jason
We love you
Remember i do say you're my crown,without you our union isn't complete
On hearing this jason ran to his mum who gave him the best warm embrace ever
Even the birds in their garden seems happy at the atmosphere as they were tweeting and flying happily
Still in the embrace
A sharp feeling struck Donald and he disengaged himself from the hug
He felt uncomfortable as his face looked worn out like someone who has been ill for days
Mr Jackson noticed his coldness and his look and he asked him of the problem
But his response shocked him
Donald how can you say we should forgo our traveling for your so called Feeling
No,No
Donald you have to get rid of that feeling,you have to tell the feelings you're coming home safe
Donald,you have to cheer up,Mr jackson elucidated
No,No Dad the feeling is real
Dad something is wrong,we ain't traveling right
Dad tell me whe are going no where for our safety
Dad tell me we can book another flights,even if we miss this one
Donald said with a bittered voice
Enough!!!Enough of those words
Yes i can book another one ,but not on this flight
You better get your clothes on and come join me in the car
Mr jackson said with a tone of finality
Huhhh!!!!
Rianna sighed,she've tried convincing Donald assuring them of there safety
But seems that feelings in Donald was strong,he refuses to join them in the car
Just then his dad struck his thoughts with his angry words
Hey!
We have to hurry ,the plane is about to take off
And i can't afford missing the Elite class for your thoughts
Mr jack said with an hard voice
Donald,his mom called
There's nothing wrong any where,we checked the weather forecast sometime ago
The weather was okay,we checked the routes were plying today also,all are safe and no danger lurking around
So Donald my son,let go of that feelings
His mom ,Rianna said with a sweet and cool voice just to calm his mind
But his mind seems hardened
Hop into the car now,Mr jack commanded and one could detect he's getting angry and irritated by Donald act
Donald couldn't hesitate because of tje tone in which his Dad spoke,he got into the car slowly,and tears dropped from his eyes
He knew something was wrong ,each time he told his parents about his feelings
They would always listen to him ,and follow his direction
Which they would not later regret,he knew the devil is deafening his parents ears and he has no other way to convince them.....
....Jason Pov....
He looked at his brother painfully and he knew all wasn't well,he knew his parent's always listen to Donlad whenever he spoke ,infact Donald has cautioned his Dad to be careful so as not to fall into a trap in the last two years
Flashback
Last two year's
Dad,Dad
Donald called as he hung his school bag at his back
Yes son
Anything ,Mrjack answered
Dad,why not give us a ride to our school,he said as he croseesd his hand over jason shoulder
A ride to your school?
His Dad asked
Yes Dad
But you know am late
And i have to attend to official duties exactly 8:00am
And am Almost late,Donald please let your mom give you a ride huh
Dad,you take us or not you're still going to be sacked
Donald said without being scared
What?
Are you threatening me?
Mr jackson said as looks like he have been worried for days
No Dad,that's what gonna happen
If you resume early,you may be duped and thereby being bankrupt
And that may lead you to being financially down forever
But when they see you came late thereby disrupting their plan ,you have a tendency to be sacked
Donald said with all seriousness
While Mr jackson mouth was opened aghast
So Dad,why not satisfy your children and gain happiness than chasing your job and later get sacked
Thereby losing in both ways,Donald elucidated
Even jason who seems Young then could comprehend all what his brother just says
Slowly and without talking ,their Dad motioned to them to hop into the car
It seems did riding of the children to school did well in the life of Mr jackson,because he felt happiness from inside
He went to work that day after much doubting,except when the dpibt was cleared by his son for him to go
That was when he went to work
"But on getting to his office ,he met a shocker as his manager called him to his office to inform him of the recemt happenings of the company
***Inside the manager's office***
"Mr Jack i called you here to tell you about the damages brought unto this company by you"
The manger being a white man elucidated
"By me",Mr Jackson muttered
"Yes,I'm telling you this with mixed feelings ,because this company has just bwen duped of 200million$ just this morning"
The manager said
"Sir, i still don't get you"
"Fortunately for you Mr jackson ,Mr collins and Mr puke agreed to use your good office to rip this company of this bountiful money infact to be precise,we were just given this money to help Unique pharmaceuticals in their bus project,and if not for God they tried to abscond after our meeting with them,but you being absemtw placed them in a tight corner,and as they were prepared to run,they were caught"
Hugh!!!
Me jackson sighed
The reason why Donald insist on him going to work late unlike him before now dawned on him
"So they have been reprimanded in the police custody right now,confessing
And am sure they wanted to implicate you "
The manager whose name was paul preston said
"Mr paul sir,with all due respect,i still dont understand why i would want to be implicated for a crime not committed,and also....."
Mr paul didn't wait for him to complete his statement before he cut in rudely
"And i don't think there's need for you to you know why you want to be implicated,becuse there's no place for you over here again"
Mr paul barked
Sir,i don't get you
Mr Jackson said as beads of sweat covered his face
"Just this morning i spoke with the chairman of this company,only for him to tell me
You all should be sacked,even to the store keeper"
Mr paul preston said with no atom of pity
But sir,Mr Jackson tried to protest
No but (he cut in rudely) take this from me
The manager said as he hands over his sack letter to him
Mr Jackson was amused because he was not too blame
He tried protesting,but he was told to shut his mouth again
Sir,can you just hear.....
Shut your mouth,and take your leave
Mr paul barked...
To hell with your company,Go to hell with it
You this bloody monger,Mr jackson fumed as he collided with a staff who was in tears of her being sacked
Mr Jackson felt instant pity for her,because her eyes was swollen which shows she has been crying for long
he felt he should hug her,but the fear of being accused of flirting even while being sacked was still in him
He held her hands,and she took it away
"Mr jack i use to think you're honest ,i do think you don't lie,but i can see you're far from the truth
You've rendered us useless with your bloody cold face
Now see what you've done to us,the lady barked with a tearful eyes
Seeing the tears in the Ladies face,and rememeberinge how he just escaped an implication,he kicked a table glass beside him,and he was hurt
As Mr jack walked out of the company,Mr Paul came out of of nowhere
"Jack,watch your steps it could be you next time,and besides you may be called upon for trial
Don't try playing smart"Mr paul said as he smiles mischievously
Mr jack shook hearing those words
***Back to reality***
Their car came to an halt,as the Jackson's alighted and they marched to a large hall
Even jason who has travelled time without number got marveled at the number if people wanting to be cleared ,they held their suitcase tightly why their dad,spoke with a lady who actually recognized them,and she took then to the front of the line,but this couldn't happen without the murmurs of the peoplw waiting to be cleared
It seems thw line won't end as people kept joining the line in several basis
They were soon cleared,but it took them almost an hour ,they proceeded to the next stage where they will be checked and where they will pay their ticket to board a plane ,they walked pass through the arrival hall
And one would open his mouth to the number of people awaiinge their loved ones
They sighted cameras everywhere,as they were absolute discipline in the port
They proceeded to the tarmac,where they are to board a plane,and right there Donald start shedding tears
His mom sighted a tear falling from his eyes,and she quickly rushed to him
"Son,don't worry,God is on our side
I'm very familiar with the pilot ,his wife is my friend,so am sure we're safe"When his mim spoke this words,tears begin to fall from his eyes because he could see that they layed their trust in the pilot,not even on God
They were thoroughly ransaked by the immigrations officer and they entered into what seems like an hall,and before they knew it all windows were shut,and all the travelers sat on their seat as they placed their needs
In a box like shape above them
Every body seems happy as smile could be seen on each boarders lips,even the Jackson's seems happy eccept Donald who looked downcast as to what will happen next
He just wished his parents coupd change their mind of traveling any moment from now,but their heart were hardened
All boarders sat on their seat awaiting the take off of the plane,as they all sat in their sections which are The First class also known as the Elite class,the business and economic class
Then an air hostess spoke in what I'll call an intercom
Ladies and Gentlemen on board,you're highly welcome to the plane ,the weather is perfectly okay,so no cause for alarm ,but in case of emergency we all have our parachute underneath our seat
So we can all use in case of emergency,all automobile should be switched off or placed in flight mode,
Please let us adhere to all security instructions,so as to have a smooth and safe flight,we would bring other notice to you
Wishing us a smooth flight
Mr Jackson sighed when he saw as all went well,even his wife seems calm
Donald POV
Gosh,how will i go about this
I smell death,donlad muttered
He began to think of the past,past memory began flowing in his brain and he doesn't know why
His mind flashed back to when he celebrated his last birthdayr,he remembered vividly,how that brought fortune to his father's life
***Flashback***
To who do we owe this gift's,betty a friend of Donald said
As Donald friend keeps sharing the goodies
Donald is so Lucky to have such parent's,infact this birthday is mind blowing and intriguing,Rick who was also Donalds friend added
They could see Donlad cutting his birthday cake,as everyone stood on their feet as he cuts it
Donald beckoned on his friends to join him in cutting the cake
Hey man!,what's wrong,dont you wanna celebrate with me
We're coming
They all joined hands in cutting the cake
But while they were doing that
Mrs jackson was going to get something for her son in their house
When someone appeared
The Harbinger....
