I'm waiting for Maria to arrive at my doorsteps, I did tried to call her but she didn't picked, she might be busy with her rich boss , I am resting from a while on the sofa until the bell finally rang.

" Look Jack ... you really should have talked to Diana first "
" I tried..... I mailed her, I called her everyday but she has just disappeared "
" Yeah , if I had hit and bruised my wife and been a alcoholic person through-out my marriage who just abuses and and tries to keep her wife down , no wonder my wife would have done the same thing " I can almost sense a felling of dissatisfaction and guilt on The Mustard face Man , which does makes me fell good ," Tried meeting her in person ?

" So , today's yours special day ? Cause I am here "
" If you are asking me about enjoying chaos , then yes "
A car reaches across my door and I watch Maria coming out of it , so happily and enthusiastic .
I tried to catch a glimpse of the person who's driving , The catch of the scrambling sound of the car's tires and my eyes kept moving along side , passing through each window.
" Who's that ? "
" Her new friend " I said and rushed towards the door
" Hey , what's up "
