“ Hello Mr Williams.... The industry said that they accepted your reasons for absence lately and are now willing to have you back When you're ready to kick it off... I think that's all for now, seems like you're always right after all ”, my manager said on the phone.
“ Let's just say that it's bound to happen, thanks for working that out for me Sir, it's an honor working with you.....”. I disconnected the call and then looked at Jackie who was lying on my bed.
“ Looks like luck is always on my side after all princess or maybe you brought my luck back....”, I said playfully. “ LoL..... We all knew that you're just using sarcasm, you were always the brain, whatever you put your mind into always works out, but be careful not to get yourself into evil darling because you wouldn't be falling alone or dragging me with you, rather I will willingly jump in with you, so be careful of your decisions, that's all I feel like I have to say about your achievement....”.
I have always got God on my side, not because I am a good or bad man, but because of his grace, he definitely knew that this fight might change me along the line, I know that too, but he gave me a woman who never lets go of him, who can't move a second without him, one who will always pull me back whenever I am about to step out of line, I knew he loves me too much and I have been seeing his mercy throughout my life, just hope he keeps on with the good work as I stay on alert incase trouble strikes. I have heard the story of Job in the Bible, and I am no difference.
I happened to kill three birds with one stone, but that doesn't mean that I got my stone back, I lost it forever, one have to make sacrifice to get what he seeks. I am still in pain and regret for my father's death, but instead of mourning, the only thing I thought he would appreciate is to do what he wants, What does he want?, I believe he definitely wants me to move on, that's what he taught me and I live by his teachings.
I believe that I have got David running somehow, I believe I have something to take down the devil's spawn holding David back and I have gotten my career back on track after the long wait, all this came to be because of my father's death, his sacrifice gave me a card to place on the table and I believe he would want me to take that chance, than to waste his sacrifice for nothing.
“ I believe it's about time you come back to bed darling, don't keep the lady waiting....”.
Two weeks has passed since the burial, I have gotten myself a house in the City, with my influence and the man being a fan of mine, I happened to get that property back 2x the price and I have no regrets for it, it's one of the memories I have left for my late Dad. I reopened the gym, bought a lot of equipments to work with as I became a leading cast in a new movie. I was already building a successful Life little by little, my woman was getting a good progress on her career, I was soaring up high in my career too and I haven't seen David since then, I believe he himself wouldn't like me to see him until he's ready for his comeback, all I knew is that he was no longer at home living with his mom, the woman has been going around spreading rumors that I was the reason for her late husband's death and son's disappearance.
By that testimony, who wouldn't know that David has gone to prepare for a strike back, I don't know what it's going to be, but I know that he will shake my foundation with whatever he's attacking with and I am ready waiting for that to happen.
A month has passed since the burial, both me and Jackie were living under the same roof and I was already making preparations for my next plans, I know it wouldn't be easy knowing the knowledge I got about marriage from my upbringing.
Uncle Dale surely love his wife when he married her, it was a dream come true for them, though I was never there, but that's what marriage is mostly about, happy endings, love leading to marriage and after that, it never turned out well, if the man I have always dreamed of becoming was a victim of divorce, who am I then?.
I know I shouldn't judge others by another's mistakes, but there's also this story about how many times will something happen to you before you learn, it was a folktale story Mother superior narrated to us about a friendship between a wolf and a sheep which ended with a lot of self teachings, was marriage really a good option?, That I don't know, but I have this knowledge that marriage brings two people together as one, I just think the betting will never stop, looks like I will always continuously gamble about the future as far as I was waking up today which once bear the name tomorrow.
Days turn to week, weeks turn to month and the clock continues to tick, life keeps getting sweeter immediately I woke up the next day, every new day increases the happiness, always waking up with Jackie before me, I know that this is against our beliefs, a man and a woman leaving together under the same roof when they're not yet married, I am really looking into that, but the fear, the fear of the future keeps holding me back, and such information isn't the one to share with Jackie because it will leave her with a broken heart which is one of the fears I have.
