Chapter 2:Unforgivable
It was indeed a wonderful day for the Captain. So many people came to visit him! Most of them were Tintin's friends. Captain Haddock doesn't really have any friends besides Calculus and Tintin since he was betrayed by his crew long time ago at the Karaboudjan by his first mate 'Allan'. The party was going great, the Thom(p)sons, Skut, Ben Kalish Ezab and his son Abdullah, Zorrino, Chang, Chester and the Maharaja of Gaipajama with his son also have come along. Captain Haddock have never had so much company before in his life. He was so busy greeting and meeting people while smoking his pipe but every once in a while will explode. The cause of the exploding pipes is because of Abdullah pranks again.
"Blistering barnacles!" Captain Haddock cried out.
He was frustrated but later laughed and open a drawer where he had a bunch of spare ones. He picked another one and continued smoking. Captain was too happy to bother about it at the moment. Abdullah was still being a prankster and played a fool with everyone but nobody seemed to mind which made him very jolly such as putting fake cockroaches onto the food and putting an air bag so when someone sits on it. It makes them think they farted. They all didn't mind but Chang and Zorrino seemed to be the ones that weren't enjoying the party, mostly from the fact that Tintin is not here yet. They don't know each other but they kept talking to each other about their adventures with Tintin which indeed made each other laugh. They became friends in no time at all.
"I remember how Tintin told me about how crazy their people think of us! and how evil we think of them!" Chang said while he giggled.
"Really? I remember how the Captain Haddock kept slapping the llama and they kept spitting water and I will always say llama do that when angry! I also remember how Tintin stood up for me when they drop my basket of oranges!" Zorrino said while chuckling.
"Wow that so funny! Hahaha! What I'm really worried about is that why is Tintin not here? I mean it's already evening! But I'm glad that Captain Haddock is having a good time though. I'm sure Tintin would be happy too." Chang replied.
"Hmm maybe he got busy... I'm sure he's coming." Zorrino assured him.
Everybody started gathering around the table and sang a birthday song for the Captain and distributed the pieces of cakes. Captain Haddock ate the cake quickly and was so pleased with the taste.
"Nestor! Is this cake alcohol flavour?" the Captain questioned.
"Yes it is sir. It was ordered from the bakery." Nestor answered politely.
"Thanks Nestor! It really nice of you to do this for me! Anyway do you have any idea where in blazes Tintin is?" Captain Haddock asked curiously.
"Well I'm afraid he couldn't make it sir but-
Nestor was cut off when the Captain ran off to bid farewells and thank you to his guests.
"I'll have to say goodbye to these guests of mine first! Thanks again Nestor!" Captain exclaimed as he ran off.
After that was done, Captain said goodbye to his young friends.
"Bye Chang! Thanks for coming! You too Zorrino! I'll visit you at the temple soon!" The Captain said as he shake hands with them.
"No problem and do you have any clue where Tintin is?" Chang questioned anxiously.
"I'm sorry Chang. Apparently I have no clue! But I will find out!" The Captain replied but sounded low when he finished his sentence.
Chang bowed and left Marlinspike Hall while the Captain grabbed his black coat and headed off. Chang still had uneasy feeling.
"Sir Where are you going?" Nestor yelled to the Captain.
"Oh! Just a short walk! And you can head back if you like!" The Captain replied coldly.
Nestor was busy cleaning the place up but shuddered a little from his response. The Captain walked out in the cold crisp night and called a cab to take him to Labrador Street. He watched the night skies drive through the quiet town. He was feeling uneasy and mostly wondering about something. He got out of the car when he reached the destination. He made it made way into the building and climbed the stairs and waited in front of someone's door.
He knocked the door and the door opened. Tintin was there smiling, like there was no other problem in the world.
"Hey Captain! What brings you here?" Tintin greeted with his usual smile.
"I don't know, I was wondering what you were doing for the whole day while I was gone?!" Captain yelled back a bit fiercely.
"Captain, is something the matter?" Tintin asked.
"Do you even know what day it is Tintin?" Captain barked impatiently.
"Well it seems like a normal day to me! Did something happened while I was away today Captain?" Tintin replied casually.
"And what made you busy today Tintin? What exactly!?" Captain Haddock said furiously.
"I had to write my article for Le Petit Vingtieme! Captain I've... I've been busy for the past few days" Tintin whispered.
"So are you saying that some stupid magazine is more important than you friend? Did you really forget? So some stupid job of yours can't be handled later? What in tarnations is this Tintin?! Explain to me?! I really can't understand what's happening?" Captain yelled with uncontrollable rage.
"Captain it's not like that! You see you'll never understand even if I tell you and its best that you don't know anyway! My job is not stupid Captain! What's wrong with doing something I love?! It's my job!" Tintin shouted back with rage.
Captain Haddock started walking closer to Tintin and they glared eye to eye. Blue ones met dull grey ones which was Tintin's.
"Listen here Tintin! I don't care about your job or anything since you barely gave a bother to me! Why should I to you! You're a useless and most inconsiderate person I met in my life! I can't believe that I even followed you for adventures for over a year and yet you don't give a thought of how I feel when you forgotten about it! And-
Tintin shoved the Captain back.
"Stop it Captain! Alright I have forgotten but you didn't know how I feel right now! After whatever I've been through! You- *cough* *cough* Nevermind Captain. Just leave me be..." Tintin whispered with a slightly raspy voice.
" Fine then!" Captain screamed as he bolted towards the door and slammed it.
Captain was enraged quickly left the building and head back to Marlinspike Hall. Tintin held his head and rested on his orange sofa. He drank some water and eased his breathing. Snowy whined and Tintin only cried. He rested his head on the arm rest while covering his face with his hands.
"Forgive me Captain...I'm s-sorry..."
