Chapter 6: Damian Hakim: Damian and His Siblings
Date August 10 2014
Damian stood facing his new full
Length mirror recognizing his new
Image. "Not bad. 13 looks good on
Me." He muttered in his
Room which was amazingly without
His pesky brothers and sisters for once.
A knock on his door. On the other
Side, her voice, "it's Nisha can I come
In!" Damian yelled, "come in!" She
Walked in and plopped herself on
His unmade bed. "Happy birthday
Big brother!" She was very gleeful.
Damian was suspicious, "Ay, you just
Came to wish me happy birthday?"
"What else."...she cut him off. "I don't
Want nothing." "Nisha don't lie."
Then she felt forced to confess
"Okay, okay, I just want $10 pleease."
He ruffled her hair saying, "Alright"
He reached for his black leather
wallet on his massive mahogany
Dresser, he grinned, "let me see what
I can spare from my wallet book."
and slid a new crisp 10 dollar
Bill from the wallet. Afterward Damian played
Video games with his brother Julius. Then
The raucous began. "CJs home!" The
Younger kids crowded him but Julius
And Damian broke through.
Julius said, "CJ can I have
My pay day, you owe me don't you?"
CJ replied, "Do I Ju?" So CJ was
Generous and said "since today
Is my payday, here here's fifty."
"Good bye brother." Now the rest of
You...and what you want Damian?"
"I can't do nothing for you man."
He gave all of the little ones $5.
Including Manisha of course she
Wasn't satisfied so both brothers
Pushed her from the room. CJ faced
Damian, "Now what can I help you
With?" Damian said, "You can give
Me the same thing you gave Julius."
"Alright, tell you what. I'll give you a 20
Plus a share of video games stock.
Playstation. Okay." Damian considered
His prospects. "Alright but here I
Don't really need this."
He handed the 20 dollar
Bill back to CJ.
"Thanks any way, man." He left the
Room with the stock certificate in hand.
Now Damian has 9 siblings. 8 brothers
Carter Junior age 17, Julius Lazar Aka Ju
Or Jar age 14, Jackson age 12,
Manisha age 11, Franky-Joe age 10 and
7 years-old Crysteph.
Salis age 8, Sidney age 3,
Adonis 6 months. Two years passed.
And now 2016 Damian turned 15.
During those 2 years
Lucinda gave birth again to
Her and Carter's last child named
Kyon Amobi on August 8th 2016.
Lucinda age is 37 and Carter is 41.
So there were 10 children a family
Of 12. In 8 bedroom mansion. Kyon
Age is one year. As months passed
Both CJ and Damian were in and out
Of relationships. Then CJ had a
Serious relationship for awhile.
He turned 20 and that relationship
Dissolved. Carter Hakim said to CJ
"Carter Junior you're going to
have to settle with
One woman sooner or later."
Do you hear what I'm saying?"
CJ only became irritated and
Said, "Yeah Dad", then walked away.
Damian was sixteen now. He sat
Outside on the front porch waiting
For CJ. CJ saw him and sat on the
Porch next to him. Damian said
"So CJ what you gon do?"
"What?" Nothing." Damian was
Messing with him. "You ain't gonna
Marry?" CJ was aggravated, "man
Go your way!" He pushed Damian
And trotted to his car then drove off.
The next day early morning dawning
Sunrise everything was fine! Even
The last of roses began to bloom!
Summer is over soon! Much much
Delight!
