I was there with my family the doctor I married was still the beautiful woman I loved. And she gave me a daughter named Zula. And Zula was an exact epitome of her grandmother Queene. She was beautiful and smart and talented. We were there with relatives and friends alike. And we sung the songs of our people Oh wa Oh wa Oh wa nay nay nay shaba. And then the song Doah doah doah shaba shaba shabha Dah na. Then the song wah wah wah naba wah wah wah naba shaba shaba shaba ra. And I testified as Maco their son about my mother's life and father's life and their love and hardwork. I was hoping to see my brother Tarack but I did not see him. So I went on talking about their love story and the lives that they touched. And how much they meant to me and my family. I was just about to finish when Tarack came at the last minute. And he did not want to speak. He just cried like a child and broke down saying Mama. After I introduced my daughter Zula and Tarack was glad to say he was her uncle. And hug me and my wife the doctor. And the Doctor said you made sure you are staying out of harm's way and doing everything to maintain your health.

I was shocked that Tarack gave a compliment like that. And he left and I looked at my wife and I was wondering what Tarack was up to because he said that abruptly. And I tried to catch up to him but I could not he escaped. It bothered me what he said and I wanted to know the meaning behind it. Did my brother want a family? Was he having family issues? Does he have a child? And my daughter Zula said she would go out and find her uncle. She said Uncle Tarack doesn't live far from here. I just need a few protectors' father and I can go. I at first objected to it but her mother convinced me to let her go saying she is young and grown. She needs adventure. So I gave my okay. And she kissed me and hug her mother and got ready. I told Shobat our servant that if anything happen to her it would be his head with the rest of the men because she is my only daughter. And Zula waved and went into the mountains and she look back one last time and kept going. After days and days of travelling, Zula believed they were wondering and she saw a man hunting and called for him. He said hi my name is Gacobs. And Zula introduced herself and said he looked familiar. And she asked him if he ever heard of Tarack. And Gacobs said while making them dinner, there is a story about this warrior who roam around here. This warrior was in loved with nature though he was very handsome and old.

He left after teaching me how to hunt and fish. He left after teaching me to walk and play. He loved animals but that's all I know. Then something was happening with the animals, they were running the next day early. And Gacobs tried to calm my fears and he rescued me from the herd. Shobat and the men escaped and found me.

Tarack resisted and he turned and said, That is what I am worried about, my son Gacobs your cousin. Zula shocked and traditionally welcome her cousin. Tarack said I did not raise him. I abandon him and now what legacy do I have. Zula tried many times convincing him but Gacobs interrupted the last time. Gacobs firmly said You taught me to walk. You taught me to fish. You taught me to hunt. You are still my father. Tarack cried silently and he said Whatever you want son I will give it to you even half of my treasures.
