All prepared, Kingston majestically walked down to the firm as it was a stone throw from their residence. He was as delighted as he was years ago when he first met David while returning from school. After the interview, he was told that it was left for the CEO of the firm to decide. Too anxious to wait ,Kingston requested to meet the CEO. He was directed to a large room after booking an appointment. He patiently waited in the large room for hours with others who had com before him , on a queue. Finally, the awaited moment it was his turn. He entered this most wonderfully decorated and furnished office. It was so large. "Have a sit" the CEO said with a small microphone on his desk. Full of anxiety at heart, Kingston slowly walks to the provided seat. He sat on it. "So comfortable" he commented. "Thanks" the handsome man replied. Later on, Kingston starts his presentation. He tries his best to impress the man. After the presentation, the CEO calls out to his secretary "John, come in". John walks in through the door. "Give me his files" the CEO says as his secretary gets it and gives it to him. He silently goes through the file as he looks at Kingston at intervals. Kingston waits impatiently to know the status of his employment. After a moment, he says to his secretary " I could say its useless". "Why sir ?" the secretary asks as Kingston's heart is already pounding so heavily. "Because our firm can bloom even without this" the CEO says, "but a friend once told me " he continues, "there's a sense in every nonsense". Listening to the CEO's words, Kingston is so astonished and confused as those words sound familiar to him. The CEO continues " Kingston my friend and brother, it is me, David Jackson, the CEO of 'ACCESS INFO TECHNOLOGIES'. Its nice to meet you again after such a long time of ignorance and desertification". Kingston is already full of tears but now its the secretary who's confused. "John, you may leave" David says as John takes his leave. Now Kingston is more speechless than he has ever been. "Your sins are unforgivable Kingston", David says," but one friendly deed deserves another" he adds. David pauses, then continues as Kingston sits shedding tears "I saw your letter showing that you didn't mean all you said to me when you left. But still, ignoring my letters is another offence. I know you didn't even open it, not to talk of replying. Because if you did, you would have known when I started a small business over here, got help from a cousin's father, expanded my business, opened a press firm and bought this one, all of this hoping to meet you one day. And look the day is here but you can't even recognize me". David also starts shedding tears. The both get up and embrace each other. They mend their differences. David grants Kingston a higher position in the firm and later helps him to destabilize his previous business. As previously vowed, the two maintain their relationship for a lifetime.
What do you think ? The saying : "One good turn deserves another." makes sense, doesn't it ? Indeed , in line with the quoted saying, "One friendly deed deserves another". A Friend For A Friend, A brother for a lifetime. Such relationships are so priceless.
