Cosmic Editor

Chapter 70: Family Leaving



With his enhanced senses, it was very easy for him to hear what they talking about.

"I can not lie, madam, you raised a good son" Fadila's mother said as she stood with her to give the buildings beside them one last look.

"What about you, look at your daughter... It's all by God's grace that our children turned out better, children nowadays can do and undo"

"At least ours is okay, by the way can I collect your number, you know..."

Seeing the direction the conversation was heading, David simply shifted his focus to the other members of the family.

Before him were Fadila's father and his uncle.

Both of them could be seen standing before the car, both men had their shoes off as they planted their feet firmly in the ground

"Okay everybody gather round, you two should come here and kneel down" His uncle said Hearing him, they all began to gather round as David and Fadila knelt in front of them as the others gathered around them.

"Honestly when you told us that you were opening your company and you wanted us to be there, I thought we would be faced with a small company considering you are just a startup but this and what I saw back there is bigger than anything I expected" His uncle started

The man spoke while the others nodded in agreement, David couldn't lie, it was something he expected. Just two months ago, they sent him money for upkeep but now here he was with a company that was quickly rising in the market and a house worth more than a billion naira.

Nobody could have expected this but it was done. The Editor position may be a stressful one but it was still the best thing to happen to him so far.

"Now let's pray, first we dedicate this house and the car and then we dedicate their future marriage into the hands of God, May he prosper them and grant them the fruits of their labor" He said as they all began praying.

While this happened, Fadila knelt while questioning all she knew. Being a Christian was good and all but knowing what she knew now, it didn't seem worth it.

What was the point to believing in a God when your boyfriend might as well be recognized as said God.

"Don't worry, he's real... Your worship isn't misplaced though I don't think there is any difference between the God we all worship" David whispered to her.

"Really?"

"You can ask Nous" David replied

Convincing her the two simply knelt as they prayed. David could have also just told her that the rest of the Gods were also real as well but what use would that be.

After a few minutes, the prayers ended as the family got into their cars and prepared to leave. While David spent his time with the men who were busy giving as much advices as they could, Fadila's too could be seen talking to the mothers who were doing the same to her.

This was standard custom everywhere in the world since parents would always look for the best for their children and in this case, they are just excited that their children had gotten the best.

"Don't forget our discussion yesterday" Fadila's father said as his uncle nodded as well in agreement

"Don't worry, sir, I have not forgotten... In fact if any are around, you can send them now to come take their tests to start training for work" David replied

He had no qualms hiring family. It wasn't advised since not all family members are really better people but even so, he trusted Nous to have a way to deal with it.

"Okay thank you, I don't know what I did when I was young for my daughter to have such luck but thank you for being here with her" the man said as he raised his hands towards the sky as he prayed for God to bless him one more time.

"Amen, uncle" David replied with a smile

Due to his enhanced senses, he could sense his voice breaking even as he talked even then he expected it. To him, this was the very best outcome and which good father didn't want the best for their daughter.

After a while the family finally drove off as the massive house immediately descended back into its usual silence.

"Honestly I think I'm missing them already" Fadila said as David chuckled

"They just left"

"But the house now feels empty"

"That... Is correct, it seems having a big house is not always good" David replied as he and Fadila re-entered the house.

It truly felt empty despite the fact that it has only just being the two of them in the house.

Just yesterday and they already prefer a full house compared to this.

"So what now?" David asked as they both sat on the sitting room couch

"Now, they said I should perform my wifely duties very well so how about I do that" Fadila said as she changed position to sit astride across David's lap.

Instantly David immediately became aroused as Fadila smiled while David himself felt some sort of shame even if it wasn't necessary.

Soon thereafter, the two proceeded to do that which has remained a constant on Earth even after millions of years.

....

"Good morning sir" a male voice calls out

"Good morning, How can I help you"

"Eh... Sir, my name is Obinna Stanley, I'm from Ija Village... It's just bellow the mountain"

"Okay then what are you doing here?"

"No sir, it's just the Elders said I should invite for tomorrow's village meeting"

"Village meeting, is the mountain considered part of the village?"

"Not really sir but we thought it would be better to invite you" The young man said

"You said it's tomorrow right?"

"Yes sir"

"Okay then, I'll be there tomorrow, at least I will get to know my neighbors well"

"Okay thank you sir, I'll be going now to inform the Elders" The young man said before the turning around to leave.

Meanwhile David stood and watched as he left, a small smile could be seen on his face as he watched the man leave.
