Chapter 67: Family



Daddy" David greeted the only other man in his family group.

It was his uncle, the man who had raised him after his mother's death. At the moment, David could see an incredibly proud expression plastered on the man's face.

Beside him was Fadila's father, the smile on their faces was just as contagious forcing the two to smile as well.

"This boy... If only your mother was alive to see you today" He said with a chuckle but David could tell that he was trying to fight back the tears.

"I am sure she will be proud of you, no matter where she is now" Fadila's father said to console the man and change the subject.

"Davi"

David heard a small voice call out his name with weird intonation, looking towards the source, he saw his nephew. A young boy who was not even three yet.

"See my boy, What's his name again?" David asked as he scoped the boy into his arms. "Uncle David," His other nieces and nephews began gathering around him.

"Okay, how about this, Daddy... I am sure everyone is tired from the event, let's go to my place so you can rest, we can continue there" David suggested

"Ha, the boy even has a place now" Fadila's father said as the two men laughed.

"Okay then, let's go" His uncle said as he got into the car

"You guys will ride with me, let's go" David said to his nephews and nieces.

The oldest amongst them was about seven years old with the youngest being only about three months old. David gladly took all he could carry with him while leaving the more fragile ones behind for their mother's.

Following his lead, the entire group got into the vehicles they had come with as they began to drive away from the place.

Of course, like the many before them, each and every single on the them had a strange reaction to seeing the car. They didn't know what brand as of yet since it was far away from where they were but they were still surprised nonetheless.

"Wahala, see David of yesterday, now owns his own company" Fadila's mother said as she clapped her hands in shock to her friend

"Ah Madam, don't play with these children of nowadays, with how their mind is working, all of us will be left in the dust"

"Na true oo, but I can not lie, Fadila's hit the jackpot this time" She said

"At least na Fadila's not some gold digger somewhere" David's sister said as they both laughed and began their journey with the rest.

The drive was long but due to the fact that most of the journey took place on the highway, they arrived quickly.

As they drove up the mountain, David could already tell what they may be thinking. He knew his family members, they were mostly people with old beliefs.

The bottom of the mountain made it look like he was entering some sort of uninhabited land due to the forests around it so he had waited for them to confirm that this was the right road before driving up.

Several seconds later, David was parked inside the house and the same could be said for the rest of the family.

"You know, David now would be a good time to start thinking about buying or building a house, with your money renting is not a good idea" Fadila's father began

"That's true, it's not good for your pocket and since you two are ready to start a family, it's better you both think of buying a house" His uncle joined in

"No, Uncle, Daddy, this is our house... I bought the entire mountain " David replied with a smile

Such moments were satisfying for anyone so he was not exempted. It always feels good to prove someone wrong.

"What?" They both asked almost simultaneously

"It was for sale so I bought it" David replied

"David, you own the entire mountain?" Her mother asked shocked

"Wait does that mean that the cat is real?" Austin asked

"Yes, it is, what would make you think I'll buy a fake Lamborghini" David replied confused at his question.

"David you bought a mountain, oh my god" The lady screamed

He couldn't blame her for her reaction no matter how dramatic, it was what all of them were feeling at the moment. Even he who had done it understood how much of a feat this was.

"How much?" His uncle asked

"400 Million plus the house and renovation costs" David replied

"That's cheap" the man noted as everyone turned to him.

"What?... At least the boy is thinking well, if the business fails, he can just turn here to an

estate and people will pay him millions in rent even year" he replied.

With that everyone seemed to have come to an understanding including Fadila but David was confused. He never had such plans and the company will succeed.

"Is that what the various high rises are for?" David asked

[No sir, however it is a good plan] Nous replied

"What? No, I am already building an estate so why should I turn my home into one" David asked but choose to shrug it off as he welcomed the family into the house.

Like he and Fadila when he first entered the house, the family's reaction was understandable. His uncle was most shocked to find a helipad within the compound.

The children immediately ran to play within the vast compound OF David's home after their parents confirmed that there were no snakes and other animals.

The family wasn't going tonight in fact the plan was to let them stay for a week. Basically a fancy way of making them accept him and her being together.

It was a quicker way and also because the family was bound to stay for such a long time anyway and staying in a hotel when they had many extra rooms to use was basically a sin. After a while, the family settled in, His Aunty and his future mother in-law immediately dragged Fadila into the kitchen, both planning to teach her to cook and all that. Thankfully due to her enhancements, Fadila kept up with all of their demands easily. Her tastes buds was much better, her strength, reflexes etc were nearly superhuman.

As for David himself, he now seemed to be locked in eternal conversation with the men of the family. The very fact that he had just created what seemed to be a billion dollar company meant that he was now the forbearer of all things financial in the family.

Using the chances given to them, both men immediately began to set up the people they knew. His uncle immediately recommended his cousin, Austin who had been unemployed ever since he left school.

It was a tragic reality in the country no matter how good ones results were. However David didn't care, as long as they had the skill and even if they didn't, skills could be learnt. That evening, the whole family ate peacefully and heartily as smiles and laughter filled the table and for once since this entire thing began.

David actually felt some degree of danger from the Event.
