The Awaited One

It was a bright sunny monday afternoon, in a well spacious and ventilated room, was a dark skinned man, sitting behind a large mahogany desk, with him was his office laptop just pressing the button on it. He was the manager of Fidels multi-million company one of the most affordable hotels in the whole of the United States, located in Texas. Picking up the phone he received a call from the receptionist at the ground floor.

"Sir a man is here, he said he wants to see you, but he doesn't have an appointment with you today" a sweet female voice said from the other end of the land line.

"What's his name please" Rosen asked politely.

" His name is Mr Walker sir" The receptionist answered.

"Let him in" He said.

"Hello sir u can go" Turning to the man opposite her, addressed as Mr Walker. "Please how do I identify his office?" Mr Walker asked.

"It's on the third floor sir,the room by your left sir". "Okay thanks"

Back to Mr Rosen in a dip thinking"Who could that person be, is it my wife?" a knock on the door fizzed his thoughts. "Yes Who is it?" he asked in an angery tune. "It's me the lady in the reception told me to come". "Ohh ok come in".

"Walter is you" his eyes widened in surprise.

"Yes it's me, after so many years, am back to spend some quality time with my family back here in the Us".

Mr Walker was his childhood friend back in the days, they both attended same college. but when he could not futher his education, Walker travelled down to Japan for his.

"When did you arrive?" he asked. " I came back some two months ago but when I got to the address you wrote to me I discovered that you no longer live there". "Ohh yes, I forgot to inform you,. I moved from there about six months ago, so sorry please." he said weakingly." That's fine no problem, I know you have been busy over the past few months".

"So how is your business doing at Japan?" " Well am doing fine, and you?" " As you can see am always busy, but overall, am doing great".

"That's good to hear"

"Do you still play video games?" walker asked in a weak tune. ". . .".

"Am asking a question bro". "No" a trace of anger in his voice.

"Rosen, why don't you just put the past behind you and start afresh. I know you still love playing". "Yes Walker, I still love playing, but after that incident that happened to my son I don't want to have any thing to do with VR games anymore" he responded.

Mr Lawrence Rosen was one of the pro players in world 2. One one sorrowful day, his 10 years old son who have been longing to play the game, saw an opportunity that arose when his father was not at home,jumped right into the VR headset,not knowing that there's some malfunction with it.

"Help me! help me" he shouted.

Before is mother could save him, the VR headset expoded

"KABOOM"

"Jack! ". "Noooo" . Please mama is here come back, she's here to save you please come back!"

Later that day, Rosen arrived home and found people at the entrance of his house, all wearing a sad look on their faces. Emmediately he ran inside the house, he found a body rapped in a cloth and placed on the floor he found his wife is the opposite direction, with a reddened face.

"What happened?" he asked.

". . ."

"No no, this can't happen to my Jack" he said with a Shakey voice.

How did this happen? some please explain to me". He yelled angeryly. "Julie, please explain, when? how?". His wife, still at lost didn't say a word.

"Hello, Rosen are you even listening to what am saying?" walker said. " I Have been talking to you for over fiveteen minutes now"

"Sorry, am all ears now"he said weakingly. "You better be".

"Have you heard about the new VR game that has just been released some three months ago?" Walker asked. "Yes, you mean destined right" "Yes, that's the name" "Okay,, how about it?" "Why don't we go check it out?"

"No, do I still need to repeat it again, I don't want to have anything to do with VR again please"

"Bro, you have to let go of the past men" walker said.

"Okay, so when do we go get our VR headset" "Are you for real!" "Yes bro".

"Okay, let's make it, next weekend, is that good to be possible?". "Okay then".

"That's what I what to hear from you" Walker said in a happy voice.

"So what's brings you to the US? business?". "Yeah, business.I wa na open a new branch here, and I want to to help me manage it" .

Ohh... Okay then no problem". "That's more like it"

They sat far into the day, and discussing about business. And also about the various happens both int to their country and their business and also about family related issues.

This marks a new beginning for Mr Lawrence Rosen and his best friend Mr Walker.
