This was the first time I saw him smiling today. “Have you decided on the order yet, Ms. Indecisive?”- the waitress's boring tone rang through my ears. I was stunned at her rudeness. I looked at the pair of blue orbs sitting in front of me. He looked unbothered! The mistreatment of the waitress towards me was all normal to him! Well! A loser like me never deserved a charmer like him.

I stared at those ocean blue eyes, hard to read as always. “A simple 'sorry' isn't good enough for wasting my time. I deserve compensation.” And before I could respond, his lips were on mine and started devouring me like a beast.

It was a land polarized along many ethnic groups; yet full of many dreams and hopes in common: except for the lack of noble men with the spirit of nobility. And yet there were vested-interests, flooding the gates of the state in secrecy...who didn't want it golden purpose to be achieved. The phase was so ugly in the State of Chakia, so loose that many would've rather damned their integrity— to trade that path of corruption. The so called outside civilized world, in which the state emulated— had also contentiously accused Chakia of its corruptness. Akalia will often say, "Why would few people hijack the resources of a state, and stash the proceeds for their own purposes?" The escalations of social vices and the scourge of corruption; will lead to a catastrophe— if not chaos. At a point where many regions of the state couldn’t take it anymore; anarchy sets in... as communal violence grew harder and revolt erupts— with riots in many towns taking over... and then— within the crisis spawned a visionary leader. Her movement initiated a radical anti-government programs. For many years of sufferings, things have gone worst in Chakia State. And when the masses have had enough roars of the social ills; the human rights activists were moved by this course. Public analysts rallied round the clock in social media: both in local and diaspora...and began to question the acts of the local authorities. Protests across the regions followed— after heedless attention are drawn within few years. "Akalia" arose like a Phoenix, from the ashes of the ancient pyre bloodline to chart a fresh course on CHAKIA’S future. But will later spiral into a negative misdirection— through political manipulations on Chakia's destiny. A new political faction is born out of necessity with new reforms to challenge the totalitarians (elites) in the reign of government that had controlled the state for many years. These were a ruling class called the Lopadans. Akalia Ambikasaleh intends to end every atom of their existence, and handover power to the common man in the state...who had the spirit of patriotism and noble heart. In the course to fulfill this obligation: her young acolyte, Michael Ajakison who in every positivity have been dedicated as a young breed of political struggles... with the core ethics of the CRPs inculcated into his DNA... so at the course of time take up leadership mantle. But Michael is gruesomely assassinated while returning from a political convention that ended with fracas and defections. This act will invariably alters Akalia's fate...been enraged. And in the course of this change of social trajectory, Chakia will forever be affect by this history. Akalia survived the trauma and organize a dreaded Force, far in Jagi-shrine, her ancestral home— targeting political elites and the citizens who had collaborated and killed Michael, and then had her exiled to the neighboring towns. In the course of her vengeance, those inside the confine of the regions will fall under the fatal axe— when Akalia acted with swiftness... resulting to military collateral damage. The state will rise in defense of it people and its properties in the course of time.

But these teams will fail, after years of many attempts. Governor Gashamo Agilamo came on board— as the sixteenth governor of Chakia, with a resounding promise to salvage the condition of insecurity of the state. "But why would a land full of hopes and dreams will want to disintegrate?" Gashamo in a quizzical statement had asked in a fluke of press distress covering his interview at the government house.
