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."
