Alfred checked his time and date. It was the date his friend Yuval was going to arrive from the United States. He needed to add more finishing touches to the plan and arrangement of completely securing the deal he had been working on for the past three years how time flies representing Levis Corporation as the agent company in Zarakesh Islands.
Zarakesh is a four big Islands coming together and standing as a nation with a democratically elected government, Lavi-Zara is the biggest of the Island and stands as the capital city though it was a ''slice of paradise'', a splash of nature and culture, breathtaking views forty miles off the coast of West- Africa, thirty mile to the capital of Cameroun.
As he drove through their always busy road with traffic been an Island with good roads but not many, he could see the cleared beach and the old floating city the creek that used to house over four million Zarakeshians was now cleared being beautified with boulders it was a breathtaking view nobody will ever think the Lavi-Zara beach is as beautiful like that his Uncle clergy man Jonas was part of the people sent away.
His cousin Diara has called Alfred to tell him about their plight she is the first child and the only daughter of his Uncle, over thirty children in the orphanage, old people in the church living in the old people's home and some homeless members living in the accommodation that the church provided now all gone no thanks to the Zarakesh Natural resources department who is taking over the beach and the waterbody trying to secure a new occupant that will lease especially this vast waterbody including the beach.
So to make it attractive to these investors they must release the former occupants they leased it to for free for close to like forty years, every one including Alfred's Uncle came to build with a roofing sheet that is what many used to build their different empire and for the floating city all manner of bamboos, but now all gone.
When Alfred got to where his Uncle Jonas was managing he sympathized with them but within him still seeing the covered beauty of the beach of the capital city, he said they should wake Diara up she left with him in his car,'' See Diara I can see your plight I know is the reason why you are sick because there is no more home and many people to care for, '' I have this proposal for you because to tell you the truth I don't have that much to give to my Uncle to feed such crowd but you will be paid through this deal.
Her face brightened up Brother'' What is it I will do it okay a friend of mine from the United -States is coming to town and is like is even because of his company'' You people are cleared away Alfred started laughing'' she looked surprised okay am just joking but in this contract, you are going to act as his bride'' you mean contract Marriage'' Alfred answer yes clearing his throat' are you sure is a nice guy? Daira I can't push you into the fire the company is paying you in dollars so that you can move your parents to a better and befitting place, she took a deep breath'' but papa must not know.
Yes me too I think so and is so urgent because there are some things about the deal that must not leak out before the deal is signed his flight will be landing by twelve tonight may be we will go and pick him up together, Diara is in her late thirties a graduate of French working as a teacher could not fathom how she is going to bring her family out of the sudden predicament of homelessness they are plunged into by the government looking at the whole thing the Zarakesh government has tried for them as well living there for free for over forty years. Alfred had to send some money to her through a transfer with a note'' Please do new braids and get yourself a very decent but sexy gown for tonight's outing Diara was happy with the money she had spent all her salary at the same time a little bit more skeptical she had never been in any relationship before.
By 11. o'clock they were waiting inside the Lavi-zara International Airport, Daira looked stunning in her gown but nervous his brother encouraged her that everything would turn out fine and she should just be calm, it was after 1 o'clock the plane carrying Yuval landed.
This is still Capt Ross in a lighter mood now he thank all the passengers for their patience and the creator for the Miracle he said from his experience it was like "Volcanic dust enter into engines but not so sure but all the events and the report about what happened to the two engines will be properly documented and sent to appropriate quarters for a check as to prevent such occurrences and as he welcome them to Zarakesh and into the new and last month of December there was Jubilation in the plane.
