"Should I really be here?, I'm not interested anyway. I shouldn't have come with you" a complaining Albert Faulkerson standing next to Atty. Sam Wit. "This is your father's request Albert, your brother will..." Albert stops him "I don't have a brother. Don't even know how he looks like!" Atty. Sam took a deep sigh "Just fulfill your father's wishes"
Still Albert says "What's taking him so long?!!"Atty. Sam Wit in his mid 60's just managed to keep silent. He knew Albert since he was a little boy. He knows his attitude and character. He's been friends with his father back in high school. Since they had their careers they've been together traveling in Europe and Asia.
The blonde handsome 27 year old New Yorker with deep blue eyes is Albert Faulkerson. He is the son of John and Amy Faulkerson. His height at 5'10" and muscular built makes him the Ken of any Barbie doll in New York. A dream guy for his looks but not as a dream partner. He's been to different kinds of jobs but always quit. Including his father's business. Loves to be with friends clubbing and goofing around. Happy go lucky. He always knew his parents will be there to support him. Until he was given an ultimatum that if he didn't straighten his life, his father would cut any support for him.
He is presently working as a manager in a restaurant bar. His parents was pleased. At least the efforts of sending him to a Business Administration University though always and almost failing didn't go to waste. He is trying to maintain that job as much as he could. He is afraid that his father would be fed up one day with him and then disown him. Especially now that Amy, his mother passed away three years ago due to heart failure. He's being a headache caused his parents to fight all the time. His mother would always defend him even if she knew he is already wrong. She would always say she understands him.
It caused him a lot of sadness. He would always visit her grave and spoke to her "Why did you have to go? I am so lost without you Mama" Indeed that's what he really felt. He doesn't show that to his friends. He would just be the cool friend they always know. He doesn't have big dreams in his life. Didn't think about his future. And like a lost boy, without his mother, he felt he lost his strength.
"I never really should've come here. I don't know what's the sense. Why should we have to see each other?" He spoke to himself. Lights up a cigarette, went to the nearest smoking station. "If only Mama is here, she'd be the one to deal with this". Continued thinking "I miss you Mama, I'll be passing by after I meet Francis". Smoking heavily till the last puff and came back to Atty. Sam's side. "Has he arrived?". Atty. Sam answered "He will be out any minute now."
