The large ship arrived in the port of Scallur from Dailmore after 2 days. It passed in several major ports. The ship is large enough to sustain the roughness of the sea and carry hundreds of passengers and cargoes.
It was almost three in the morning and the port of Scallur was awake, or matter-of-factly it never slept being an international port. A lot of activities were going on in the port area. People from different cities merged here: passengers, workers, businessmen, tourists, students, law enforcers, tax collectors, and many others.
Oemor was thankful that in both his trips the climate was so cooperative. Upon his arrival he had to wait until 5:00 AM for the connecting bus trip to the village he lived, a 1-hour trip from the port.
Oemor arrived in the port of Dailmore with a little worry in his mind. The excitement he felt was replaced with little concern on how he could explain to one of his children that he gave up his present just to accommodate other people’s request. If he would not tell them the truth and make alibis then he would violate the value of honesty he wanted to inculcate to his children. He was absolute to tell them the truth but how to comfort one of them was his main problem.
The Christmas Ring: Chapter 4: Assiram
Oemor had gathered his things consisting of a big leather bag containing his clothing and a single bag containing some of his personal things. He checked the boxes of the rings if it were okay inside the small bag. He went to the front desk and signed the check-out logbook. As he started to move out he suddenly heard a loud screeching from the brakes of the passing car.
But he was scheduled to leave soonest, yet he remembered his promise to God just a few minutes ago so he thought this must be some situation God gave him to test his faith. He prayed silently for discernment.
