Chapter 6
why are you trying to bring the past into the present?
is it so hard to forget about what happened in the past?
I wish you could understand that all the things you are saying is really hurting me deep in my heart? and I am not happy to hear it at all,
it so sad to find out that you
I'm never understand your team,
you can never under
how we feel and how we want it to be,
we have come
see you and Rob mind with you as our leader but you
seems to be turning all our words upside down,
I have to reason it with you, and have tried all my best to rub minds with you,
but, you tend to believe you can do things your own way,
you did not even want to work as a team, all you want is to do things on your own,
I can't even figure out what it may be,
all I could conclude is that you are a proud person and you are not the person we thought you were,
we have always seen you to be a reasonable and understanding person who is ready to work with his team-mates and never to do things on his own,
but, you has proven to me that I got it all wrong,
now I can see that you are like a snake under the green grass,
I thanks the gods of problems for helping us expose your true identity," Andrew spoke, in a kind of aggravated mode,
"I do not understand what you are trying to say, you spoke in a way I don't understand,
please explain what you meant but, please try to be more descriptive and understandable,
from what you have just said, the little I could analysis doesn't seem to sound well,
I hope you are not trying to say something that would get me completely aggravated,
" I didn't mean to confuse of get you aggravated, all I was try to say is that; if there wasn't something that really bothered you, we would have not been able to know the kind of person you truly are
why are you being so unfair to yourself?
from day one, we always looked at you to be a nice guy, a leader, a person who knows all the attribute of a good leader,
I went futher to make some research about your life as a student,
while I searched, I discovered that you were, also a leader at school,
I also found out that you were know to be one of the most brilliant and smart guy at school,
that was why you were honorably rewarded as the leader of you faculty,
you were given this position and award during your first year of your university school live,
this position was never taking away from you, you held to this position till your last year in school, which you willingly gave it up,
after discovering all this,
I was completely convinced that you are a very smart person indeed and you would really serve as a great leader indeed,
but, right now you have started to give me a lot of reasons to doubt you,
well, I don't blame you, I really do blame myself, I shouldn't have just judged you based on your academic performance and your school live,
now see what my mistake have started to cost me,
the would all blame me now__"
"who is going to blame you?" the Kingston interrupted immediately as he heard that statement,
the word really triggered his emotions because he gave a curious and surprised face to that,
" I am talking about the entire gang members, they will begin to say that I am fool, they would say that I don't know the true qualifications of a good leader." Andrew said,
"really? but why would day say so?" Kingston said.
"they would definitely do so and I would be never blame them doing do,
like i said earlier, I can only blame myself,
this is because; I was the one who told them how good of a leader you were and how great you would lead us,
so if there is any fault I would be the one facial all the blame," Andrew said.
"calm down you don't need to be so hot
it has not gotten to that," Kingston tried using a simple method to explain himself, which he believes would really calm Andrew down a bit because, he noticed that Andrew was already taking this little discussion of theirs into a serious battle, though he has shown it,
but the manner at which he spoke and the method at which he reacted clearly proves that he is about to turn the whole thing around,
he is taking the little words Kingston said and saw as nothing to heart,
"I only came to you, I only came to you because I was hoping you would be able to give me an advise and how to go about this big situation of mine,
but unfortunately for me, after all my explanations on the present situation i am facing,
it all ended up in you began to tell me that we have to work together as a dam f****** team,
you should know me very well, you knew me for long before I knew you, and we have some time together,
so I believe you should know that I don't do things like that,
I'm not the kind of person that do stuff in such manner which you have suggested,
the whole team and gang group combination is not just my thing,
I like to do more things on my own and make it perfect the way I want it to be,
when I add all of your problems to mine in order to achieve this common goal it is going to lead to a lot of complications because; we won't know what to concluded on, a lot of people will come with a lot of ideas,
and a lot of ideas could possibly be abandoned or ignored will cause big a very big problems;
those people whom their ideas have been ignore will feel that we ignored,
although they would have no other choice than to do exactly what we want them to do,
but, it is still going to lead to a very critical problem that would definitely affect our progress," Andrew took a sharp pause when he discovered that Kingston was about to say something,
"I hope he is about to say something positive to what I have been asking all along? " Andrew said inside of his mind,
"I how do you think that is going to affect us ?" the boss asked curiously.
"why wouldn't it? it is surely going to affect us because;
during the mission on finding out and
taking judgement those who killed your father,
an opportunity that could allow them make
use their own ideas which were abandoned by the entire gang member,
they would try to make use of their own ideas and ignore the ideas that were given to them by the group,
I don't know if you understand but, there is a kind of Joy that comes into the heart of a man, when he realizes that he or she has the opportunity to carry out what he or has been waiting for a long time to do,
to us, our own perspective and from our own sight of view, we see he or shes Ides to be the wrong thing but, deep down in their heart, they believe they are doing the right thing,
they would try to use the idea which they have seen to be a very brilliant and stupendous one, but unfortunately for us,
so this ideas which they see to be very brilliant and outstanding could introduce a lot of dangers, setback and failure,
it could even be the cause of the complete
breakdown of this entire gang
we would not know where, how or when it would happened, it would seem like it happened within a twinkle of an eye,
I'm not saying all this because it will favour me,
I am saying it for your own good,
you are the leader here and you are the one taking after your father
you are also the only one bearing your father's name,
having you here is like seeing your father here,
if anything ever goes wrong with the society, we have nothing to suffer from,
you are the only one who is going to be here suffering from all the pains cause you are the one who is going to go from something to nothing we could later find another mafia gang, where we could easily
take another oats and then and join them as a new member,
but, you would not be able to do that because you cannot adjust to that kind of a condition, you have always lived as a ruler and as a king,
you cannot serve as a servant,
it could lead to conditions discomfort and emotional I stability for you,
even your father in the grave will not be happy to see you do such a thing, so I guess is wise you avoid it now before it come, it is right at your front, all you have to do is to say no to it and it shall never all your problems co be completely over,
I don't know why you like to worry yourself so much about things that are not to be worried about,
you put so much time and effort to a lot of meaningless things that even the affected person do not put anytime and focus on,
I have told you countless times to free your mind and let it go,
give me the freedom to solve my problems,
like you said earlier; I was known during my school days to be a leader and a fighter,
I have always been smart and no one ever took the position from me, till I was tired and willingly handed it over,
I achieved all without any support from anyone,
I had no friends, neither did I have any counselor,
I had no supporter that could have advise me on what to do,
I did it all myself and I succeeded in it,
that was because I was determined and nothing could stop me,
the way I have solved all those problems is the same way I am going to solve this little problem ahead of me, I will use that same strategy I used during my school Days,
I will apply the same wisdom I do apply those days,
I hope you could understand that this is not a situation that could cause argument and fight between us,
it is something we could settle and agree on in a very amicable way
from the way you spoke and reacted to all what I said earlier I noticed that you were not happy and you were gradually getting aggravated,
I'm not trying to say that you guys are not capable enough to support me and help me in this,
all I'm trying to point out is that group work is not always the best sometimes,
there are times where you need to work according to your own decisions and avoid combination of work because; sometimes combination could lead to complications.
so we are just normal people? the problem is that you don't know who we are to us,
because if you did,
you would know the blood and bones that joins us together,
you do know that, you would not speak this way,
you would always try to involve us in every single thing you do because, we are one family even my wife and my children are not as related as you are to me,
I feel more connected to this society than I am to my own child.
"so you saying such thing clearly means that you have no gratitude towards us."
Andrew spoke disappointed.
