Kevin and Family
Rosina S Khan
Kevin, a young growing lad was enjoying home, school and riverside in a small town. He found it especially stunning to throw stones into the river and make ripples in it.
His parents were both teachers in high school in the local area. He had three elder siblings and Kevin was the youngest.
As Kevin grew up to be an adult, it was time for him to leave home and get admitted in the district‟s university very much in the outskirts of the town they lived in.
As he started to familiarize himself with indoor and outdoor premises of the university, he found friends in many good folks.
Four years on, he graduated and went to the main city, he found it difficult to find a job that was appropriate for his field of expertise.
Finally his toilsome hard work paid off. He found a suitable job in the electricity board office, his field of interest being Electrical and Electronics
Engineering.
He worked for a good many years. His soul was good and therefore, every person who came in touch with him found a friend in him.
Now he had a residential home his office catered for and a great job to enjoy life. He found an emptiness inside him. He talked with his parents back in town and they advised him to look for a bride, a beautiful one.
So Kevin took action. He went to the same reliable matchmaker who arranged brides for his elder brothers. He trusted the matchmaker to give him his perfect soul mate.
And the matchmaker did find someone perfect for Kevin. She was 5ft 2in and elegant to look at. With makeup and good getup she looked gorgeous and Kevin immediately fell in love with her. Yes, Kevin was going to burgeon a family with this wonderful lady.
He showed her photo proudly to his family and friends and announced that she was going to marry his dream girl.
There was a great pomp and show on his wedding day. A community center was hired and blinking lights in several colors looked like a great decoration. A Kazi came in to wed the two and they both said „kabul‟.
Dates were offered to the guests and that meant the man and woman were happily married.
There were video shots, singing, dancing and music which spoke boldly that it was a good organized wedding that helped the guests to enjoy a lot.
After the ceremony was over, guests left while near and dear ones stayed behind to accompany the man and wife to their home.
They had their final celebration with a smaller group. And finally man and woman were left alone to enjoy time by themselves.
Kevin took three days‟ leave from his office on the occasion of his wedding. So he enjoyed good time with his newly married wife for the next two days.
They went places sightseeing. They went on long drives. They spent time near the beach and saw the sunset. Life was good but it was going to be even better. No need to worry, Kevin.
Kevin joined office with renewed spirit and vigor. Everyone greeted and congratulated him. He felt great.
His job allowed him to visit other countries for business purposes. And during these times, he missed his wife a lot but kept in touch by calling her.
Then there would be reunions again . Kevin and his wife would have good times again.
It was one of these trips Kevin was in when he called his wife and his wife had exciting news to give. She was expecting a baby.
Full of zeal and curiosity, Kevin returned home early to be with his wife. He vowed not to go on trips again until his wife birthed the baby.
It was a good family of three soon. The wife birthed a baby boy. They celebrated now happily and again when their son had his first birthday.
They invited all friends to a get-together at a Chinese restaurant. Everyone cheered at the party for their son and the couple was happy.
Four years passed by when they had their second son. It was busy time for them now. They managed to pull through their daily tasks and remained happy no matter what.
Then they had to bring the wife‟s elderly mother to their home to take good care of her ailments. They kept a nurse to look after her needs.
Kevin was a great man of value. He took the added burden on his shoulders and did not consider it as a burden at all. He did everything he could for his mother-in-law to make her comfortable.
So this is the story of Kevin and family. They will continue to thrive with two growing sons and the elderly mother. Kevin will always remain loyal to his family and so will be the wife. Being highly compatible with each other, they will work together to ensure their family soars to great heights
