Average affluent Almost Afternoon
11:30 morning time. Damian was
Still asleep as were DJ and
Amadeus. Molly and Dolly were
In the kitchen planning Barrington
And Godfrey's birthday party.
"Come sis are we baking this cake
Or what." Molly certified, "You
Know we are." She opened cabinets
Saying "I'm just getting the
Proper equipment and then we
Can.... Proceed" Dolly said,
"Yeah, so come on with the
Business. Let's. Get down."
Molly started preparing the
Batter. Dolly turned the oven on.
"How many layers?" Dolly asked
Molly said, "We Should've gone
To a bakery!" We are indulging
In the preplexities of party
Planning."
They heard Damian enter with a
Welcoming "hello mothers."
They replied, "Hey Damian."
He began with his deliberate
Charasmatic ways. Dolly said
"I know You remembered."
"Godfrey and Barry's birthday."
"I Remember." He said while
He gazed off into nowhere.
"Why don't you let me go down
To the bakery and get a cake,
Alright? Instead of all of this."
He pointed at the batter bowl
Molly was holding. "Alright!"
Molly replied placing the Batter
Filled bowl onto the kitchen
Counter. Damian enabled his
Phone called the bakery then
Said, "the cake should be ready
In an hour." An hour later
Damian went to the bakery
And returned cake in hand.
He sat the box with the cake on
The counter. Molly excitedly
Said "call the twins, everybody
Gather round." Damian cleared
The table in the dining room.
"Come here Barry." He put
Barry on one chair facing the cake
"And Godfrey you over there
DJ lifted him up onto a chair on
The opposite side so that they
Faced one another with the cake
In the middle. Doorbell rang, Grandma
Grandpa CJ and two of his
Sons Eric and Hadan were at the front
Entrance. "Family! Right on time!"
Damian exclaimed watching
Them and broadly grinning.
His mother said, "looks like you
We're about to start this party
Without us." Damian assured,
"Well, we hand only planned for
One cake and the kids would
Sing happy birthday. But
We're glad you're all here, ma."
His Mother placed her cake on the
Table next to the first cake.
"Wow you caught us off guard."
DJ started the music. "July 2nd
Happy birthday baby brothers."
He hugged both kids
Ruffling their dreads. Damian
Commented to them. "Happy
Sixth birthday guys you'll be
Going into first grade when you
Return to school. Are you
Prepared." The kids looked at
One another to confer then
Shook their heads. "No Daddy
We want to stay." Godfrey
Confirmed, "Yeah we don't want
To go back." Damian Laughed.
"You'll see. You'll have fun,
Learn new things make friends
Meet your cousins. It'll be okay."
DJ had the music volume
Maximized. Everybody danced.
Mother Lucinda Hakim danced
With father Hakim. While DJ
Damian and CJ conferenced
About the cruel ball Continuation.
Damian said "Everything is
Already set half a mile from here."
"And on soft turf instead of the
Punishing problematic
Pavement." Everything's squared
Away!" Amadeus cleared his
Way and said, "Set the date!"
He and DJ agreed "We're ready!"
Damian was smiling proudly. Damian
Inquired, "Ayh CJ how's Damali
Getting Along over there with Uncle
Roman? CJ replied, "j think he's
Good. There no problems so far."
"Alright we're almost ready."
We need more players." CJ
second the notion. "We have to
Contact other Hakims see if
They're interested." "Yeah, then
We will be ready! Damian roared.
Now, meanwhile we have other
Birthdays next month me
Amadeus and the Seven will
Be moving up with knowledge."
"I'll be 41." Amadeus said, "yeah,
I'll be a senior citizen 12 years-old."
And the Seven no longer 2 years-old
They'll make three and
Existing independently."
Noise in the Dinning room. The
Music was Temporarily halted
while the family swamped
The table and the twins to sing
The birthday song. Both Barry
And Godfrey grew giddy
Gushing and giggling.
Grandma sang the birthday song.
The candles were lit. Joshua
Said "Make a wish Barry Godfrey"
The younger kids chanted,
"Wish, wish, wish."
Barry closed his eyes and blew
The candles then Godfrey did
The unthinkable. He buried both
Hands deep into the store bought
Cake. They were all shrieking
They admonishing him. "Godfrey
Why did you do that." That's
Terrible." Damian said, "That's
No big thing. The entire cake
Isn't affected. We'll eat the part
That's not crushed." Each family
Member had a small share of
Both cakes.
Dolly announced, "Don't forget
Everybody we have Damian's DJ
And babies birthdays coming
Next month and, also Shadir
And Matthias birthday in
September." Shadir and Matthias
Birthday came Swiftly. Their
Birthday was celebrated at
Children's romper Room nearby.
Other Hakim Children were also
Invited.
