The Excursion to London
It was a breezy night when the Oester family was having their dinner. Oester family was a sweet family consisting of three members - Mr. Charles Oester, a famous Archeologist of Zurich Archeological department, his brilliant son David and his lovely wife Mrs. Jane Oester.
They were having a delicious meal, especially prepared for Mr. Connel Franklin, one of the best friends of Mr. Charles.
Mrs. Jane had prepared a bowl full of meat and a dish of Lamb. Unlike their devotion to lord Jesus, they all were non-vegetarians.
They believed a lot in Christ. They all were inspired by the inspiring stories of Jesus. The main reason for Mr. Charles to become an Archeologist was to explore more about Jesus and to know the history of the Globe. There was no lack of money for Mr. Charles as the origins of Oester Industry belonged to his ancestors, which had been a leading company in the field of trade.
The Oester Industry deteriorated after the death of Mr. Oberon Oester, father of Mr. Charles Oester.
Mr. Oberon was a prodigious legend in the history of globe as he contributed most of his life to Oester Industry by his intense devotion and hard work to the Industry.
Mr. Charles could lead the Industry to an unbelievable extent but his interest in History was at such a high extent that Trade and Commerce seemed his rivals. He never wanted to get in the field of Business in spite of his family belonging to a highly Industrial family.
He was the only son of Mr. Oberon and all the Property belonging to Oester Industry was now in his hands. Instead of developing the Industry, he exploited all the money in developing Archeological Departments over the Globe.
His Archeological Departments included - The Italian Archeological Department, The Austrian Archeological Department, The Indian Archeological Department, The American Archeological Department, The Ukrainian Archeological Department, The German Archeological Department, The Roman Archeological Department, The Greek Archeological Department, The French Archeological Department, The Spanish Archeological Department and finally The Zurich Archeological Department.
He had a total of 11 Archeological Departments and he was the Chairperson of all these departments.
He was also appointed as the Chairman of G.U.A.R.D (Global Useful Archeological Resources Department).
He was one of the wealthiest person in the world having his headquarters in Zurich.
Mr. Connel Franklin was the Managing Director of Zurich Archeological Department. He had two children- Susan and Daniel. He also had a beautiful wife- Mrs. Mariah Franklin.
On a cool windy day, both the families planned an excursion to London. It was just a kind of get-together excursion. They took a flight from Zurich to London and reached there in few hours.
The Pacific Hotel’s Ball Room was exquisitely enameled exclusively for the welcome of Mr. Charles Oester. It was looking flawlessly marvelous. The impeccable ambience was making the moment extravagantly mesmerizing.
Mr. Charles and Mr. Connel were enthralled from the embellishment of the Room.
Those jiffies were prominently gratifying.
Susan, Daniel and David were correspondingly relishing the splendor of that room.
Whereas, Mrs. Jane and Mrs. Mariah were also relishing the extravagance of that room.
The revelry was inadequate without two dowels of cocktail.
Many legitimate people were also summoned for the revelry.
Five Ball Recitals were also implemented at the party to upsurge the ecstasy of the revelry following the proclamation of the ring ceremony of the two beloved children- David and Susan.
Together, they both were an impeccable couple.
That jiffy was a remarkable minute of their life as they both esteemed each other. It was the right spell for their bridal as they both were twenty-four years old.
Susan and David were tremendously exultant by this proclamation. They both were feeling themselves to be standing in a heaven.
After all, that moment was so propitious.
Mr. Connel unbolted the magnum of the effervescent champagne and had four-five dowels of that intoxicating amethyst.
The revelry terminated after the dazzling fireworks and that nocturnal was remarkable for all the legitimates congregated over there.
They all reimbursed back to their rooms after that resplendent revelry.
Mr. Connel Franklin and Mrs. Mariah Franklin were residing at room no. 201. Whereas, Mr. Charles Oester and Mrs. Jane Oester were residing at room no. 202. Mr. and Mrs. Oester’s room was next to the room of Mr. and Mrs. Franklin’s room.
Due to inaccessibility of consecutive rooms, Susan and David had to reside at room no. 462. In the absence of elder people they both osculated each other but abruptly Daniel unbolted the door.
They were ill-fated at that time as they had to spend that entire glorious week with Daniel due to the unavailability of rooms. Susan was still exultant as those were her latter jiffies with her audacious brother Daniel.
Daniel was still a juvenile being fifteen years old. He was very liberal and ample following his guilelessness.
That nocturnal got over after an arduous diurnal, bringing an invigorating morning.
The prospect from the marvelous window was very alluring, especially after the dawn. The rays of the sun fell on all three of them and roused them up.
The obscurity in front of their eyes diminished and they all sat on the bed lethargically. Their drowsiness contracted and they all were ready to go and visit the spectacular wonders of London.
They visited many extravagant sights of London and finally went to gaze the exhilarating seven dimensional spectacles. It was an astounding roller-coaster ride for three of them.
They were exhausted till the time of dusk and decided to return back to the hotel to take a short siesta.
Those quixotic moments were tremendous for them.
David and Susan were relishing those jiffies as they were being wedded. Susan was a little bit despondent inside her soul as she was now going to leave her parents after some time.
Sh
e was now going to acclimatize a new kind of ambiance after her wedding with David.
A lot of shopping was left to be done. Susan was very enthusiastic to choose her engagement ring.
The Ring Ceremony was going to be done in an ostentatious hotel, prominently known as the St. Chorus Hotel.
That hotel was prevalently known for its extravagance and lavishness.
Mr. Connel had chosen that hotel especially for his daughter’s bridal.
Susan chose a dark blue coloured gold enameled platinum ring for her cherished fiancé.
Whereas, David chose a white coloured Platinum enameled Diamond ring for his bride.
The event coordinators were told to embellish the hotel resplendently gorgeous. The coordinator’s main focus was to ornament the hotel charmingly so that it looked startling to the invitees.
The coordinator’s penetrating hard work resulted in an astounding chamber for the bridal of the two adored children- Susan and David.
Susan was very pretty, beautiful, cute and charming following her impeccable body language. She bought a white coloured long gown for her bridal. She looked glorious in that enthralling dress.
Whereas, David was vivid, honest, gorgeous and intelligent following his enthusiastic body language. He bought a black coloured coat and a pleasant trouser for his wedding. He was looking marvelous in that decent outfit.
After a lot of shopping and exertion, the day of wedding arrived. Susan was very exultant at that day as she was getting married with her esteemed friend- David.
The hotel was exquisitely ornamented for the bridal of the charming couple- David and Susan.
They entered the hotel and augmented the lavishness of the hotel. They were looking impeccably splendid. Susan was looking enthralling with her fiancé and David was correspondingly looking fabulous with his charming fiancée.
The bridal started with the ring ceremony. They both exchanged their elegant rings, especially brought by them for each other following a surge of rose petals from the lubricated apparatus.
The lingering formalities were completed by the eminent father of Church St. Jesus Catholic and finally they both became each other’s spouse persistently.
The revelry was very profligate for all the invitees present over there. People relished the revelry vigorously and gave sanctifications to the enticing couple.
A lot of tempting dishes were there for the mouth of people to feast on.
Overall, it was a beguiling bridal. People savored the bridal a lot.
The wedding ended after a persuading show of fireworks which upsurged the lushness of the wedding.
David and Susan were now companions for their intact life. They loved each other and their tempting dreams came true after their bridal.
Ms. Susan Franklin was now Mrs. Susan Oester legitimately. She was now a part of the Oester family.
There was a kind of solitude in the Franklin family after the bridal of their adored daughter- Susan.
David commenced his industry and named it as D.S Industry which initially meant ‘David and Susan Industry’. Susan was appointed as the Chief Executive Officer of the company following her curiosity in commerce.
David started going at work to escalate the fame of his industry. He wanted to lead the Industry higher than the Oester Industry which was lead by his grandfather Late Mr. Oberon Oester.
Mr. Charles was still diligent to excavate primordial cities.
He had excavated a lot of primeval cities previously but this time, the site they got gave a virtual perception about the life of people around 200-300 BC.
It was an ample discovery for the Zurich Archeological department. The regime of people that was coming out was perplexing as the former discoveries didn’t gave much detail about the lifestyle of people at that time.
The whole department was tangled after discovering that massive distinctive site. It became a World Heritage Site and was top listed in the list of heritage sites.
Gradually, by the passage of time, Archeologists acknowledged the whole site.
This site had been the most baffling site for exploration in front of the Archeological Department. Slowly, the clandestine of this site was elucidated by the Archeologists which advocated that the Archeologists were graciously industrialized.
Mr. Charles got a lot of fame light after the discovery of this colossal site. He was gratified by this fame. Once again, the Oester family had substantiated that they were the finest endowed.
This demonstrated that Mr. Oberon was a truly great legend in the history of globe as he produced such an endowed child with extreme potentials.
Their Fortunes Turn Revolting
On a fine optimistic day, Mr. Charles decided to take leave from the Department for two days as he was feeling very fatigued after excavating a massive distinctive site.
Mr. Charles was resting at home whereas David and Susan were working hard at their workplace. Mrs. Jane had also gone to attend a revelry of her colleague.
The whole house was isolated excluding Mr. Charles. It was not at all spooky due to regular rituals performed in the house.
In the dusk, the weather turned worst. It started to rain brutally. The wind speed upsurged upto 120 m.p.h. Mr. Charles was sitting by the window and scrutinizing the deluge.
After sometime the doorbell resonated the house. Mr. Charles endeavored to unbolt the door but the door was not opening. He heard the shriek of Susan, Daniel and Mrs. Jane.
He attempted to unscrew the door once again but the door was not opening. It was mobbed due to the appalling blizzard.
He tried a lot but he couldn’t unscrew the door. After numerous endeavors he finally tried to call David but unfortunately the telephone lines were crammed.
Susan started sobbing as she was very sensitive and she couldn’t abide such a dreadful storm. David encouraged her to control herself as everything was going to be fine after sometime but circumstances were not that much tranquil.
Mrs. Jane was trying to find a way inside the house but she failed to do so. There was no other option to get inside the house instead of calling a carpenter over there, which was perhaps impossible at that time.
They all had to stay under a tin roof for the whole night. After sometime Susan and Mrs. Jane slumbered but David was still roused due to the obnoxious weather.
He could not control himself after seeing Susan feeling cold, so he put his jacket over her as he wanted her to slumber contentedly as her ecstasy was now his exhilaration.
This probably showed David’s benevolence towards Susan. He esteemed her a lot and wanted to live his intact life with her.
The Dawn came with a lot of serenity. The birds were chirping and the crickets were singing euphoniously.
Susan roused up, saw David’s jacket and found him snoozing over her. She lifted him towards her left and stood straight on her weary feet putting the jacket on him.
After sometime David also roused up and found his outfit fully wet. He was sneezing a lot but still he was exultant to see Susan all right.
He went before Susan and found her correspondingly wet. David decided to call the carpenter immediately after seeing Susan and Mrs. Jane totally wet.
He took out his cellphone from the pocket of his wet trouser and tried to call the carpenter. The cellphone was not properly working but still it could be used temporarily at that time for just a single STD call.
The carpenter took his hoary filthy car and rushed it to the Oester’s house. He reached there in fifteen minutes. He took out his apparatuses and started to unbolt the door. The carpenter finally unbolted the door with his preposterous vigor.
David thanked the carpenter and handed him with some cash for his drudgery.
Finally, After that strenuous night, they sighed fervently as now they could step into the house. All of them were looking frowzy especially Susan as her hair was too long, with a straight fringe across her forehead. Her face was totally vagued due to that vile squall. They had no other option than to e
ndure that ominous nocturnal.
They went inside the house haltingly due to their whacked feet but Susan discontinued them as she couldn’t pace them any more, her legs being anesthetized.
David was not able to see that excruciating guise on her face due to which he had to pick her on his arms. He apprehended her and took her to the bed so that she could repose for sometime.
He endeavored a lot to locate his father while Susan was reposing but there was no trace of him in that 20 acre creepy manor. Finally, after trying his best, he nonchalantly deigned to call the police so that he could trace his awol father.
The police squad was trying its best to reach the Oester’s house but all the cops were betrothed in deciphering pending cases enumerated by the family members of the intimates who were mislaid due to that atrocious blizzard.
The spectators of that squall stated that the gust callously uprooted all the trees and vital implements like windmills, satellites and towers.
Whereas the Reports said that most of the Zurich’s land was in an austere condition that night and a lot of people lost their lives due that vile gale.
Finally, Mr. Sylvester Venginny took his crew and hustled it towards the Oester’s house. There was a lot of traffic on the boulevards due to which they got tardy and reached the Oester’s house in 2 hours.
Mr. Sylvester was a strict cop with a mustache over his chin. He owned a total of 92 national awards honoured to him by the Union Ministry of Switzerland and 27 international awards for his tribute to the martial forces. He got retired from the martial forces at the age of 52, after which he was appointed as the Chief General of Zurich Armed Forces.
He also had the privilege of inaugurating the Zurich Archeological department which was given to him by Mr. Charles due to which he vowed to help Mr. Charles in every ascetic condition.
David was sitting by the aperture, when heard the doorbell reverberating the whole manse.
He brusquely got up and hassled towards the door. He found Mr. Sylvester along with his crew members standing by the door waiting for him to unbolt the door.
Mr. Venginny queried David by asking him questions regarding the last night and instantaneously started tracing Mr. Charles after all his queries were retorted.
