REUNION chapter 1
Sarah Perkins felt the warmth in her room one Sunday morning as she leapt out of bed, brushed her teeth, washed her face, and glided on the standing mirror. "This is it,"
Sarah thought, "another day, another me. "Sarah sighed, "Is there anything else I could wear?" 20 years-old What else could it be? She dashed off to grab some warm clothes to keep herself warm while also trying on other outfits that might be appropriate for today's enterprise reunion. Gifted, young, exquisite, and artistic, I can't be so solemn today. Mom is going to be upset because she believes I worry a lot about myself for no reason at all. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Dad, who has always been there for me. The man in his forties, A successful, black haired man in his forties including an overbearing father. However, dad is a young at heart, and he always believed in me every step of the way, even though mom's death was a significant loss in our family history. Sarah "Steven yelled, "I need you to be ready in five minutes, we need to get going or we'll be late for the reunion," adding, "but I've prepared some cinnamon coffee for you dear." As I walked out of my room. Dad was standing near the staircase with distant composure, wearing a professional suit, and I thought to myself, "Wow, Dad, you look amazing today." Sarah, with a beaming smile, Sweetheart "Steven added, "you should know how to manage your time and know your commitments" of course, Dad," I will". Sarah smiled reassuringly.
" As they drove to the reunion and parked the car in front of the designated church, the two were confronted by a crowd that had gathered across the church's entrance. Sarah noticed her father's aversion to socializing with a group of elites who happened to be his co-partners at Perkins Enterprises. Are you all right, Dad? Let's get this ball rolling. We should be happy in front of these people. Steven nodded, she added.
Finally, the large crowd dispersed. I'm feeling awkward because I've never spoken in front of such a large crowd before. "Why am I here?" I even inquired myself. So, I'm congratulating Dad on his lifetime achievement for the Perkins corporate, which I was unaware of because I'm not interested in it. I've always wanted a simple life, not this vile way of life; it's like turning your private life into a media spectacle, Steven eventually interjected, what's with your solemn face, dear? Are you feeling uneasy? Please gather some food and wine as the reunion is about to begin. Please make yourself at home, dear, because this is our home, not theirs.
What exactly does that mean? Sarah inquired, "might this be your future?" There is a rationale for all of this, which is why I'm telling you right now that you must be prepared and responsible. I know you're still young, but you should be able to stand on your own two feet when I'm old, you know. Steven has a bright smile on his face. I've always loved you, and as your mother in heaven, with a tear in his eye. Suddenly, a lovely petite waitress approaches us, carrying a variety of the world's most well-known wines. Sarah's demeaning smile said, "Dad, I need you to help me out on this." You can take whatever you want as well as try it all, it doesn't matter. Steven shook his head.
Meanwhile, Dad was preoccupied with the elites, while I was looking for authentic food and wine. I am captivated by dynamic surroundings. From a distance, I noticed a group of young men congregating in the middle of the crowd. These gentlemen were quite familiar to me until a young man standing with a glass of wine caught my eye; he stands out amongst the elites, with black hair, sharp features, and the same youthful appearance as ever. I was curious as to how old he could be. What on earth was I thinking? However, it is difficult to imagine this young man becoming such a huge success and co-owner of the company.
Wait! Is the man in front of the crowd named "Daniel"? I'm talking about Daniel Blake. I'm into master's degree and Ph.D.s, but the guy I barely knew in college is acting as the president of the Perkins enterprise? How is this even possible? As she reached for another glass of wine, Sarah shrugged incongruously. Surprisingly, Daniel poured her a glass of genuine champagne. with that awe-inspiring look on her face "How are things going?" How are you finding the crowd so far? Daniel added with a blank expression on his face.
I'm still waiting for my father. Thank you for your inquiry. "We haven't seen each other in a while, and there have been a lot of changes in you," Daniel said with a smile. He went on to say that Sarah was bragging about changing the subject because she was too scared to talk about the intimidating scene with Daniel. She remarked, "I'm sure you've changed a lot." Apologies for the interruption; Steven was holding the most expensive bottle of 1960's red wine; I thought we'd never have this opportunity to meet Daniel; it's great to see you here, and you're all grown-up as well. Allow me to introduce Sarah Perkins, my lovely daughter, Steven said smilingly.
