GOOD&BAD FAMILIES - A Family fantasy adventure
Parenting is an extremely hard chore, but some did it and stll doing it excellently well and many failing woefully at it. It is a combined effort of the Husband and Wife to train a child/Children well, but in a situation where the parents get no proper training while growing up; that family is in shambles!
Mrs.Tulip is a Divorced mom in her early Fifties, with three Children; a boy and two girls. Mr.Tulip is a soul seeker and a martial Art Grand Master, part of the reason for the break up was that the wife, a Nurse thinks the husband is wasting his life with some Fighting skills that fetch no tangible income. For many years, the mending seems to work until Clark Tulip the first son clocked 12, then things fall apart totally.
Like every normal divorce, the kids tend to have two homes and sometimes a new dad or mom as the cases may be, and mostly it involves moving from one place to the other either the wife or the husband. Mrs.Tulip got the custody of the kids on the grounds of a better financial welfare, though the husband has to contribute his own quota to take care of the Kids. And so Mrs.Tulip moved to another city to get a new job far away from her estranged husband and to keep the kids from him.
At 12, Clark understand fully well what was going to happen; he has to make a stance to visit his dad whether mama endorsed it or not. There is a bond between father and son, so with the mother. In the Tulip's case, their son loved them both and so does Mr.Tulip still loved his wife no matter what happens. The boy fights his mom each time he wants to travel to spend time with his dad, it has continued till Clark clocked 14, Mrs.Clark never knew why her son was desperate to go and see his dad on several occasions in a month.
Father and son was really a decoy, master and student was the hidden part. Mr.Tulip had been training his son so that he can take care of his wife and daughters. The bond was still there even though they were miles apart. During the early days of Winter, Mrs.Tulips was moving again. She had acquired a house next door to another family of six; The Jenkins and their three children with their housemaid. By contrast, the Tulip and the Jenkins were two opposite families; the latter raised a spoilt brood of adolescent kids. The Jenkins kids were always throwing parties and disturbing the neighborhood plus they are the reigning Bully on the street. Before the Tulips moved to their new homes, the Jenkins are the troublemakers; Mr.Jenkins is a Rich Businessman who rarely stays home and Mrs.Jenkins loves vacationing at the expense of her husband, leaving the kids to the maid to train.
Clark spent almost half of the winter with his dad, training hard to get his Black Belt in Kungfu,
he came back home when he finally got the coveted belt. But as every trained Martial Artist, never fight unless your life or your loved one's lives are threatened. The Jenkins Girl had bullied Clark's youngest sister, giving her a black left eye. Mrs.Tulip threatened to sue but the Rich always have upper hand,
few weeks down the line, the Jenkins Cat was poisoned and it was no other culprit than the Two Jenkins boys who had threatened to kill the Feline earlier.
The Jenkins kids had no idea the Tulip Girls had an elder brother, all the Jenkins were in their teens same as Clark who is a bit slimmer than the boys. He had been briefed on everything that had happened while he was away and the young lad had been refrained by his dad not to engage in combat each time he calls to get a go-ahead.
But "Nemesis is like the First Rain of the Summer", it comes unannounced!
Clark was on his way home from school when he got a call that his mom had an accident on her way to work that afternoon, her car brakes had been tampered with and Clark could think of no other person than his unruly neighbors. Getting to the hospital, her two sisters were asleep beside their mom with a bandaged head and a casted hand. Provoked, Clark went to the pay Phone and called his dad about what happened. The dad had hit the road hearing the news and mainly because he knew nothing could stop his son from retaliation. With a smashing kick to the Jenkins Entrance door, the door flew open. The Jenkins boys had a couple of their friends over when Clark attacked.
Three lightning kicks, each landing on the boys' faces and necks and with a fast punch he had disabled the friend holding a Baton in his had to strike. The girls were shocked and perplexed looking at the average size Ninja that had paid them a visit.
Before another punch to the face of one of the boys still doubled up on the ground, a bottle hit Clark's head and this got him more furious. Repeating bicycle kicks for the boys and a donkey punch to the bottle thrower. Satisfied with the severe but mild beating, he stepped out leaving the door wide open behind him.
All the while, neighbors had gathered filming the little action scene on their phones with giggles and sign of relief as each punch and kicks lands on the hooligans. As he stepped off the lawn of the Jenkins, whistles and clapping welcomed him as he crossed over into his house and head back to the Hospital.
With a broad smile on his face as he entered the room where his mom was and now with his dad, the mom was looking afraid as the dad nodded in approval; one of his sisters was holding the Phone showing him his deadly moves as he punished the Jenkins kids all by himself.
