19 《 The Test 》

( After some time )
Nancy : Boys ! I need to talk about ... things with you come with me ( takes Adam and Ben to another room )
Marie : I wonder what are they talking about?
Hope: Yeah me too
Marie : Let's go and listen
Hope: No we shouldn't be eavesdropping!
Marie : Oh be quite it's fine ( grabs Hope by her arm and both put their ears against the door and try to listen )
Nancy : How much do you both love your girlfriends ?
Ben : A lot
Adam : ( Nods his head while looking towards Ben )
Nancy : Hmm is that so...you guys might know that I have almost spent most of my life working as an accountant in UK and have a lot of saving so I sincerely offer you two 10,000 dollars to leave your girlfriends . What do you think ? I'll take them with me and they will live comfortably in UK
Adam : What !? Are you serious ?
Nancy : Do I look like I am joking ( says with a serious look)
Ben : Nah , I already get paid a lot and I wouldn't leave Marie if I was penniless
Marie : ( says in a low voice ) Huh ? Stupid Ben why didn't you take the money . I mean who refuses to money?
Hope : ( says in a low voice) But he would have to leave you for that
Marie : oh yeah forgot about that in front of the amount of money haha
Nancy : Okay what about you Adam ?
Adam : I agree , I will take the money and you can take Hope
Ben : Huh ?
Marie : What the hell ?
Hope : ( laughs )
( Marie looks at Hope in confusion )
Adam : Is that what you thought I would say ? But I am so sorry there is no way I am ever letting Hope go . It's my job to take care of her and what you offered right now would only make her sad and I wont allow that
Nancy : I see ( stands up and smiles ) congratulations you passed the test. I've got to say my girls have got good boyfriends for themselves . Well but they aren't less than diamonds so take care of them .
Ben : Oh my God you were so scary
Nancy : Sorry for that and another thing even though you are couples but you are not married you know that you can't cross the limits it will only effect your lives
Adam : We know don't worry
Nancy : Hmm good ( opens the door to go out and both Marie and Hope fall on the floor )
Nancy: Well well so you guys were eavesdropping?
Hope : Ouch ! We didn't mean to, we just got a bit anxious ( Adam picks Hope up )
Marie : Well you sure are a scary woman . Ben ! Would you help me get up or keep staring ?
Ben :( Looks at Marie carefully and sits on top of her ) You shameless girl , apologize for eavesdropping first
Marie : Ahh okay okay ! I am sorry now get up you're too heavy
Adam : ( laughs ) Hippopotamus
Ben : Hey don't call me that . ( looks at Marie ) Good girl ( picks her up )
Nancy : Alex just texted me that he is coming with Samuel .
Hope : Oh okay (smiles)
( After some time Samuel and Alex arrive and Hope plays with Samuel )
Hope : Where did Adam go ? Samuel can you wait for me I'll be back
Samuel : Are you going to pee pee ?
Hope : ( laughs ) yeah I am
( Hope goes out to the balcony and smells cigarettes again )
Hope : Adam ! Not again, throw it !
Adam : Okay ! Okay ! Don't get angry
Hope : Wait here ( goes inside angrily )
Adam : She really is angry I've never seen her this angry ( feels guilty )
Hope : Here ( rushes towards Adam and stuffs a lollipop in his mouth )
Adam : Ahh okay okay I am sorry dont be angry
Hope : Adam it's bad for your health I don't want anything bad to happen to you. I don't want to be alone again ( Cries)
Adam : Hey , don't cry I said I am sorry . I am not gonna leave you alone again I promise ( hugs Hope )

Nancy : I hope you weren't busy
Hope : actually I was working on a new painting but I've got a week to compete it so I am not busy why'd you ask ? And come in why are you still standing outside
Nancy : Oh no no I am in a hurry actually Samuel wanted to go to an amusement park with you and I thought if possible you take him there meanwhile I and Alex could take Alex's mother to a doctor
Hope : Ofcourse I myself was getting a bit bored Marie goes to school and I always get bored so I often go to a park nearby but seems like I am gonna have a lot of fun today ( Hugs Samuel )
Nancy : Ok then sorry for causing you trouble
Hope : It's okay , it's no trouble. But can't you come in to eat or drink something ?
Nancy : I am actually already getting late so I'll come in later okay?
Hope : Mhmm ( nods )
( Nancy goes and Hope brings Samuel in)
Hope : Samuel you play with these toys and I'll be back .
Samuel : Okay !
( Goes to the balcony and calls Adam )
Adam : Hello my wifey
Hope : Huh ! Wifey ? ( flustered )
Adam : Yup wifey why'd you call do you miss me should I come over ?
Hope : Umm yeah come over actually I was alone and I uh ... I really like kids so I thought we should do it together
Adam : What ? ( stands up ) I thought you didn't wanted to do anything before marriage . I mean I am ready but are you _ ( gets interrupted )
Hope : ADAM ! I didn't mean that ! ( hides her face in her hand and blushes hard )
Adam : I don't understand
Hope : Sisi left Samuel here and asked me to take him to an amusement park I was alone so I thought to ask you to come along and because I liked kids I didn't say no to Sisi
Adam : Ohhhh I see ( bangs his head on the wall ) but why were you hesitating while saying it
Hope : Beacuse you didn't like Samuel much so I thought you might not wanna go
Adam : What? I don't dislike the kid I just don't like his thought of marrying you
Hope : Pffttt ... Adam he's a child ( laughs )
Adam : I know but whatever it is, you're mine
Hope : ( Blushes).... umm come over then I'll be waiting ( cuts the call )
Adam : ( smiles ) Ahhh Hope ! I got so excited for a second thinking that you wanted to ..... ( shakes his head ) get your head out of the gutter Adam !

Adam : same
Ben : And first your mother was testing us and now you ? What is this an exam anyways I am getting late bye ! ( goes out and thinks) I do miss them it's not like I am heartless
Adam : ( thinks ) I agreed with a smile but being an orphan still hurts
Hope : ( thinks ) You guys are so strong for not expressing your pain but we could tell easily by only listening to each others voice what we are feeling I know you are hurt but we can't die with the one's who are dead so let's live , let's live for each other ( smiles )
