He ran as if he was being chased by death. He did not even look back to check on anything. He left behind in his office, his briefcase, books he brought from home, and other things. He can't even say this is where he left my shirt. He got home putting on only is a singlet and his shorts on. Upon getting home, she met his uncle Siyabong and Jack outside. It is already 5:30 am. They were outside ironing their clothes. and doing some other things. Immediately they saw someone running in their direction, they were afraid at first. He responded to that, both of them picked up the nearby planks and were ready to stop whosoever is running towards them in the early hours of the day. As he get closer, they were able to see that It is Jacquard. He is the one running like a hare that narrowly escaped death. He ran up to them without reducing his speed. That was how he intended to enter the house, but he was stopped by them Though it was not easy for stopping him. Jacquard and Siyabong threw
After everyone was done saying their thoughts concerning the matter on the ground. They all agreed and supported what Jacquard had done. He did what is commendable. It is not so easy it is very rare to see a grown-up, handsome and able man survive. A grown-up female wants a man to have something with her without expecting anything in return for that and a man did not see that as a golden opportunity that only comes once in a blue moon. Instead, he says that is a path to his destruction, the path to dismantling his bride, morale, and what he stands for. Jacquard fight till the last minute just to prevent himself from pleasing the lady and I am happy for him. I am truly happy that my son did not fall for it. He had done the right whether she survived or not, and no one can dare to punish him for that. Even the King of this land, king Abasiama Ekpeyong, can neither order for his arrest nor his execution that is if she died as a result of the accident that happened." "My beloved son
The following day, Jacquard woke up early, got dressed up, and stepped out of his room. No one was awake except his mother. She had been in the kitchen as early as possible to prepare breakfast. She know Jacquard would like to leave very early that was why she woke up so early. Immediately she noticed that Jacquard is ready to leave for work. She called his name. "Jacquard. I am right here in the kitchen trying my little best for preparing you and your brother's favorite. Come and give a hand to move all this to the table."Jacquard got so surprised. He didn't expect her to be awake at the moment because of the stress and everything they went through the previous day.Immediately everyone finish having their breakfast yesterday. They all decide to go out and have fun. They visited a lot of places and returned late. Jacquard did not even remember how he got home. Jacquard and uncle Siyabong were still sleeping. Without wasting too much time, he dropped his briefcase and rushed to th
CHAPTER 56Jacquard stepped into the normal building as usual. He greeted everyone he crossed paths with as he was heading straight to his office. As he was going, he felt as if the whole world is watching him. Every single person he passed by both the seniors and the Junior officer was all looking back at him. Some greeted him with a smile while some, most especially the female returned his greeting as if they were forced to do so.He did not let their reactions to having any effect on him. He managed to get to his office and locked it. Before he entered his office he turned to check if the door opposite his office is open. The office was locked and no traces of anyone on the floor. It seems he was the only one on the floor. He asked himself where were the other staffs. Or where did they go? He tried to check the date and confirmed that the day wasn't a holiday. He ignored the feelings and entered his office. Upon getting to th
Jacquard dropped his resignation letter and stepped out of the conference room. Some of the people that were present were happy while it sadden some people. The chairman of the disciplinary committee was so unhappied about his decision. He felt he should reject the resignation letter, but he won't do that because of the other members of the committee. Among those people that were present at the meeting, the Chairman of the committee and the Chief Director were the only people that felt so unhappied and felt loosing someone like Jacquard was going to result to great lose which will undoubtedly have a bad effect on the effectiveness of work on he building.They had no choice than to accept his resignation letter. He can't he forced to do be doesn't love to done anymore. His decision must be respected. They both regretted within themselves that they made such to happen. They brought this upon the corporation. They had the chance to make thing right when it had not gotten to this level,
The following morning he left home as usual, he did not even inform her mother about what happened in the office and about his resignation. He was able to escape that just because his mother together with his uncle, Siyabong, both traveled to attend to some things in a nearby village. They were unable to return home that day. It was only Jack and Jacquard that were in the house. Both of them just ate whatever they met in the Kitchen and went straight to bed.Jacquard feelings were ambivalent. He felt happy and relieved because he believed he is free and out of bondage. He is no more surrounded by the set of people who always and will always pray for his downfall. He also felt bad about how he left the job. It was not in a good term. But above all, he was happy to be free. He thought about what is going to be his next move. He can't just sit down doing nothing. Even the law of the land won't allow him to stay indoors for too long except if he was sick or suffered from a terrible illn
Jacquard went home straight. By the time he got home, he met nobody inside. Everyone had gone out for their daily activities. He went to the kitchen to prepare himself a very good meal.He did that within twenty to thirty minutes and went inside to get prepared for the mission. He decided to rest till everywhere went dark. After everywhere was dark, he stepped out of the house, brought out a lamp, and drafted a map. He remembered he did that when he was studying then. After moving from one house to the other, he later found an opening that looked like an abandoned well. He tied a rope to the nearby three and use that to slide down into the hole. After getting to the hole, he then threw back the remains of the rope in the hole to the surface to prevent getting people's attention. He successfully get into the hole and turned on the lamp with him. With the light on which really gave him a brighter view of where he was, looking forward he definitely affirmed that he is on the right pat
But that man from unit 9? Jay oh, one of the kids that Jacquard teaches, was right. The guy was just plain stupid. And besides, General Lane probably did not understand what these books represented. This was the inherited knowledge of mankind! If this was not stopped here, where would it stop? Only a librarian and Knowledgeable people, the scholars, could understand just how important it was. Suddenly in the distance, Jacquard heard a sound. The soft whoosh of an automatic door opening. For a moment a shaft of pale light cut through the gloom. As quickly as it appeared, it was gone. Jacquard frowned. If the thief had entered the room, the light should be coming on. But they were not. Maybe it was not the thief after all. Maybe someone had walked by and the door had opened automatically. Or maybe the thief had started to enter, but somehow sensed Jacquard's presence. There was no way to know. Whoever it was, was gone. He paused for a while, " I was told there were
