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!
