The newly married couple remained indoors for the better part of the day. Mike had found a wife in such an unexpected way. What Mike had been chasing was now available at his disposal. He could not believe that Sasha had finally fallen for him. The lady was beautiful, with all kinds of admirable features.
Mike sat on the coach, pretending to be watching a movie on his 72-inch television. Sasha, sat on her spouse's thighs, supporting herself on his chest. That was the best moment for Mike. He totally didn't want any disturbance of any kind. But now Brian kept calling him. He had ignored Brian's calls for a long time. It was not normal for him to act in such a manner, but his greatest worry was Sasha knowing or suspecting him. He vowed to act as white as snow, ensuring that no stains around him.
The calls were becoming too many and now Sasha had to ask him why he kept ignoring them. "Why are you not picking calls?" Sasha finally asked. To confuse her, Mike responded," This is my friend Brian, we normally hang around with him. I know he wants to ask me out of this house but I am not ready to leave you alone". His response seemed genuine. Even his innocent face supported his speech. Sasha was easily convinced.
Brian had waited for his friend for a long time. He started sensing a fowl play. It was now 4 o'clock and the friend had not yet appeared. Did he forget that he had left his girlfriend at a friend's place? Or was he doing it intentionally to punish the friend? Those are some of the rhetorical questions that filled Brian's head.
Brian had no option but to engage the Praxidis into a conversation in a process to find in a solution. "Praxidis, it is almost eight hours since your boyfriend, a great friend of mine, also left you here for a while. But as you can see, it is getting too late, and he has not yet come back. For your information, I have tried contacting him via phone call, but he remained unreachable. That is the plain reality we have at the moment". Brian started a detailed conversation. Brian expected the lady to take part in the conversation, but she refrained. As he insisted, the lady began crying, though with a low voice.
Brian had to go through a period of regret. He wondered why his close associate could betray him. Brian had been raised up in a family that had only boys, hence he had not interacted with the opposite gender. He sympathized with her and lacked words or actions to calm her down. He was even afraid of getting near her. In his mind, he wondered how he could share a roof with an opposite gender if it came to the worst. For sure, he had never experienced such a lot and it gave him a lesson in a hard way.
Darkness was approaching and Brian had to find ways of getting rid of the visitor. He gained courage and told her the truth. "Praxidis, it is very unfortunate that you have been betrayed by your boyfriend. I also sympathize with you. But your time here is over. Please leave my house" found Brian spoke in a way that sounded like a command. " It would be better if you found the best alternative, as for me, girls have never been my thing", he added. Praxidis kept crying bitterly without ceasing. The helpless girl cried bitterly. She saw things not working for her.
Brian realized that unless he applied force, the lady could not obey his words. Before he could think of anything else, he called his mother. He was desperately looking for advice on how best he could go about it. He took his phone and dialed his mother's contact number and called. "Hello mum" he finally said when the mother up the call. " How is everyone at home? I have called you just to greet you about", he added while still thinking about how best he can introduce the problem at hand. "Thank you my son, hope you are fine also" the mother responded.
"Mum, I have a problem here, and would like you to guide me out of it," Brian continued. "A problem! What is it, my son" the mother inquired. "I don't know how I can frame words well so that you can understand, but what I am going to tell you is the true picture of what I have at my place. "Tell me my son, have courage and say it as it is. Remember your mother and guarantee you any assistance when in need", the mother assured her son.
Brain's mother suspected that maybe he was after financial support. He usually had such a conversation with his mother when requesting financial support. This time it was different. He had a bigger issue, according to him, and only his mother could offer the best advice.
"Mum, I have a lady at my house, she is called Praxidis" he began. "What! You mean you have a wife, that is wonderful now" wanted the mother now wanted for a while, expressing her excitement. "I now want a grandchild from you this year. Please ensure your name is after me", the mother added. Brian became confused about his mother's excitement. He held back and breathed in to gain courage.
"Mum, it is not the way you are thinking, a friend of mine had left his girlfriend at my place promising to come and pick her up but failed. I have been with her the whole day and now it is almost dark. I tried to convince her to leave, but she refused. How can I handle such a case?" Brian presented the case to the mother. There came a great silence and the mother said, "If she is not willing to go take her, she is your wife", the mother said. Brian was surprised about what the mother advised him. He expected a different kind of advice.
Although the mother had advised him otherwise, she was trying to pass a message. Brian was approaching age thirty and had no sign of marrying. His parents, especially the mother, were disturbed about her single nature but could not communicate directly with him. A chance availed, and the mother utilized it well. But the message didn't sound good to Brian. He had dreams he was chasing at first.
