A day after taking Huria back to her house drunk , Victor decided to drop by to check on her with a basket of fruits from his mother's fruit store in the market ,getting to the door , rang the door bell , Huria came down to open the door .
"Victor !" She was happy to see him. "Finally you've thought about me , it's been a day and you didn't even come to see how am doing , later on you will start calling me the mother of your future children , sad , really sad ."
"Relax , the day I brought you back , you were very drunk , it didn't go well for me , I felt embarrassed before your father, by the way , is he home ?" he asked as handed her a basket of fruits .
"Are these for me ?" She grinned .
"No they're are for my other girlfriend," he joked . "Is your father home ?" Victor looked unsettled ,wanted to be sure whether her father was home or not .
"Relax , you're even starting to talk nonsense , my father is in the study room , you know he's going through a rough time now from what has just happened to him , so am here to make sure he's okay ."
The door bell and the small talking between Huria and Victor downstairs brought out doctor Alfonso from the study room to find out who it was and why Huria wasn't introducing to him who was at the door , Victor was surprised to see him just when he had asked about him , felt like running away but chose to face him like any true man , Alfonso wondered what Victor was doing at his house again.
"Hello Professor?" he tried to prove his confidence . "Ah.h.,.. am he.e.ere to bring Hurianah some mangoes, apples and oranges , you know I thought these would be good for her for her hungover , I asked my mother to pick the best from our fruit store , you know we also have a fruit store that is selling the best fruits and flowers around Bogota , if you don't mind ,you can pay a visit someday . "
"That's a nice gesture, thank you for caring about her and I hope someday when I get time , I can drop by at your store but for now you can have a seat or you're going to stand in the door way for the rest of your talking ," he sat down first before the two could also sit down .
"Dad ." Huria knew her dad was going to start get boring with his fatherly talk with Victor . "Victor and I are not going to sit here to talk, we're going out , isn't that right Victor? , didn't you tell me that earlier ?."
"Did I ?" he looked puzzled with Huria's question.
"Of course you did silly and you shouldn't be nervous , my father doesn't bite," she noticed how uncomfortable he was on a couch .
"Okay guys , now that you're going out , I have no problem with that as longer as you take me with you , I can not stay here by myself , I will get bored ,besides I would like to know where Victor is taking my daughter ," he thought going out with the young ones could be a good idea .
"Dad you can not come with us , you can cope up here by yourself ." Huria didn't see that coming though usually she had been going out with her father and Rodrigo but they've never been out together in a night club where she was certain she was going with Victor this time .
"Didn't you tell me that you're home to give him company?" Victor realized this was a perfect moment to get back at her for humiliating him a few minutes ago . "So I think it's a good idea he comes with us ."
"Did I?" Huria asked
" You did silly ."
No choices were left for Huria except agreeing to go out to the club with her father and her current boyfriend, at the club , she couldn't enjoy the moment ,watched her father talk and talk, she was pretty bored , her father began getting drunk , he was talking a lot because a lot was on his mind , he felt like a man that has been betrayed badly and all he had to do was to drink to forget
