Chapter 8 -- Damian Hakim: the Youthful Vacation

September  2017 continues:

Damian was preparing to leave his
Girlfriend's house. Damian said,
His farewell. Then left the Giovanni 
Premises. Meanwhile the Hakim
Family uncles included, concocted a
Crucial crucible plan to get a grip 
On the Damian conundrum. The
Carter Hakim informed the family 
Of the problem child. He called 
All his brothers Uncle Preston,
Savarho, Kerris, Rodney, Tito,
Tyler and Cicero converged at the
House and waited for their youngster.
Lucinda was sizzling hot with anger
And concern. "He's been absent 
Without permission for 3 days!! Ieee!!"
She screamed. Julius asked, "Are you
Sure he's coming back today?"
Carter and Lucinda said, "we waited for 
Some time before we called in 
The enforcement."  She turned to 
Carter saying, "where is our son, Carter?"
They waited as the final hours ticked
Pass, "This is some ridiculous.... then
They heard the key in the lock slowly 
Turning. "Damian!!" Lucinda pounced
First. Damian was Stunned with his
Mother's welcome of hugs and kisses 
After she calmed a little she asked
While searching his body for injury.
Are you okay! Then she raged up. 
"WHERE! have you been Damian HAKIM!"
she slammed him against the wall.
She wasn't that small and he lost
3 pounds while out on a limb. "
"Answer me."  Damian was shocked 
Into a stupor, "I..I uumm I was with
My girlfriend."  "I was worried out
Of my mind I'm your MOTHER!! 
YOU MAD? Why because your brother 
Called you.... well never mind. At 
This point she knocked him to the
Floor. She said, "  get your behind 
Up go to your...no go to that room
And Pack your belongings you're going 
Away. GET UP! RISE GROWN MAN!!
His uncle Tyler stepped in, late and
Said, "Don't worry Son you will be
Coming home. With me. For months."
Damian wanted to protest. But he
Couldn't. Looked around at all of them.
He said, "Ma I know you're mad.
You're angry I messed up. I feel
Bad about it I make it up to you."
She said, "No my love, we need a break 
For a while. We might come to 
Visit once you become accustomed 
To the Uncle Tyler's family. He has 
Children your age. You'll be fine."
Damian asked, "For how long does
This punishment last?"  She said
"Probably 6 months maybe more."
We'll miss you Damian."  Julius and
The rest of his Siblings came to say
Goodbye. Manisha cried, "I don't Want 
You to go Damian." They all embraced 
Him and CJ was the last. "I didn't 
Mean for this to happen. I love you
Man." They embraced, both his
Parents accompanied him to Uncle
Tyler's car. Tyler said, "I don't know 
How much of a punishment this
Will be I have 4 children 2 girls 2 boys.
We have a swimming pool. A large
Pool table and a game room.  
3 big screen TVs. This punishment 
Might be summer camp for you
Big man. He tapped Damian's chest
Then put peddle to the floor and 
Sped away. Damian relaxed, wondering 
What It would be like. His mother,
The things he wanted to say never
Was said out of his mouth. "Lucinda!
Oh, oh!" He told himself "I will never 
Make this mistake again. I love my
Mother." It was 45 minutes before 
They arrived at the estate. Then 
Damian was on the property. 
He met all 5 0f them the mother
Leresh, she introduced herself then 
Introduced their kids. Damian's first
Cousins. "The little one is my 12 years-old 
Youngest daughter 
Londi, and our daughter 17 years-old 
Adrianna,  their two brothers 15 Jafah
And 16 years-old Danovon. Then she
Said the thing Damian was Impatient 
To hear. "Why don't you take a look 
around and let Adrianna show you
Your room."  Damian was excited.
And blown away by his immediate 
Destiny. Adrianna motioned For him
To follow her. "I know You'll like your
Room and....I think you're going to 
Like it here Damian."   "Soo let us
Know if you need something. Okay?"
She left him to explore his room.
"Whoa, my family. Haa! He searched
The room and found interesting 
Trinkets some books and men's
Magazines, Aah. This is all for me!"
"Whaaat!" He threw himself onto
The king size bed and smiled
Noticing a computer and a video 
Phone. There was just One major 
Chronic worry pervading his mind.
"How long will I be in paradise. Not
A bad place at all." But he wanted 
To see His loving wardens again.
The family that had him shipped 
Away. "Adrianna. hmm."
