with a heavy heart Mr black walks into his bungalow. Eyes red with tears and mind full of arguments Mr black heads towards his bedroom. A baronial room with false sealing and a big chandelier hanging bright making the room as bright as sun would make the sky. A big king sized bed with headboard to rest on with a cozy soft blanket to make him feel comfortable. A couch and a reclining chair makes his every moment comfortable in his room, but as for the day nothing could comfort him. The bright light of the chandelier was annoying him so he closed the light and just kept a side lamp open which was kept next to his bed.
"Ah mom, did you, really love me? Did my mother felt the same pain as Mrs Stella feels. But I always saw mother smiling. But she always cried for loosing me. Oh god! i am confused." Mr Black was totally confused with his past and things happening in present. Letters made him feel somewhere mother loved him too but few instances in the past denies him of the fact.
"If mother really loved me she would have never dragged Christine out of our house when she knew how much i loved her. She was my life. My life is still empty without her. She brutally dragged her out of my life and closed the doors of my heart. I cannot love anyone else. I loved her and she is still in my heart. She always favoured Sam and was always polite to him. I was the bad boy in the house. She always punished me. She closed me in the dark bathrooms. I just wonder why did i take all this. I was a grown up boy, if i wished i would have left my house and live independently. After all law permits me for that. But I was financially dependent on you mom, and you took advantage of that. If Christine could wait a little more for me I would have never let her get married to jack. I hate you mom, i hate you. Christine was my life." Christine was Mr Blacks friend since university days. He loved her since then but never disclosed his love for her. Christine knew Mr black's feelings but she never pay any heed to it as she was not interested in him. One day all of a sudden Christine proposed Mr black. And Mr Black who always loved her but never had the courage to tell her, readily accepted her proposal and was ready to get married to her.
With all the stress in mind Mr Black quickly fell asleep on his recliner.

Mr Blacks wakes up early morning rubbing his sleep out of his eyes. It was a Sunday morning. Mr Black always loved Sundays. Looking out of the balcony of his bungalow which was located near the Rockaway beach he loved to look out at the bay and enjoy a cup of hot coffee. As a routine the butler very well knew what he has to reliever in his masters room. As he gets a call from Mr Black on the intercom he quickly gets his coffee along with some Spanish cookies which Mr Black loved the most. Sipping at the cup of coffee and looking at the beach reminds him of the days when he use to come for picnic along with his family. "Dad always carried me on his shoulder and ran towards the beach. That was my favorite game at the beach and Mumm's getting sandwiches along with our favourite juices, cookies and snacks was a great fun." Thought of mother reminds him of the letters his mother gave him as a gift. He quickly got up to get those letters and read them. As he reached the box the houseboy knocks at the door. "yes come in"
"sir Mr Stephen Rolland has come to see you." informs the housekeeper.
"oh! OK. Guide him to the living room. ill join him in few minutes" Stephen was Mr Blacks old university friend and was always in touch with him. Mr Black never shared his personal matters with him but he still knew the story behind his parents. "Hey buddy, how are you". Mr Black joyfully offered his hand for a friendly handshake. " I am doing good. you tell me howz life?"
"life is all the same man, work work work. Nothing new in life."
"humm... came to know about your mother. May god bless her. she was a very nice lady. She loved you...." Mr Black interrupts Stephene. "Stephene, i don't like to discuss my personal matters with anyone. Not even my friends." "ya ya i know that. But some day i will finish my sentence dear. Let me see for how long you will stop me from completing this sentence." Stephene knew something about Christine which he always wanted to tell him. He had great respect for Mrs Thomson as she helped him a lot financially when his father expired. Mr Steve smith also expired by then but Mrs Thomson got a job and worked to earn bread for her family and supported him complete his studies.
"hahaha" laughed Mr Black
"OK, do you remember we have a re union party tonight and we all are invited. You are coming, right?"
confirms Stephene. "yes of coarse, ill be there on time."

Reunion

As the car stops at the O'Briens, New Yorks greatest Irish pub famous for its cold beer and "The Lagan's Lounge" the private party room with outdoor balcony was shaking with loud music and attractive looks. Mr black gets down from the car to join the party with a hope to meet Christine as even she was in the same batch.
"Ah welcome my friend." Stephen welcomes Mr Black.
"Hey buddy! how is the part going?" Mr Black shakes his hand.
"come i want you to meet someone."
Stephen drags Mr Black to a group of old friends. " Meet her she is my best friend since college days" resting his hands on shoulders of a beautiful girl Stephen introduces Mr Black to a beautiful lady. "Aaaaa... I am sorry, but i didn't recognise her. was she with us in our university?" Mr Black quarried Stephen as he could not recognise Amanda. Amanda was Mr Blacks classmate and Stephen's best friend. She had a tom boyish personality in college days. She never knew how to do makeup and look pretty like other girls. She always preferred to be dressed in her comfy jeans and t-shirts accompanied by a pair of comfortable sneakers. she always had a short hair cut and never grew her hair long. "Oh my god! AMANDA!" Mr Black was astonished to see the commendable change in Amanda. To his surprise she was alluring in her lemon yellow pencil dress with her silver pencil heals. Her long brown straight hair made her look more like a princess to which the pearl dotted necklace enhanced her appearance. Her cheeks were blushing pink without any makeup on her face except for a glossy peach shade lipstick which balanced her complete look and made her perfect for the occasion. "you look gorgeous girl!" Mr Black compliments Amanda for her looks. "you look more like a girl now" Mr Black grins mischievously, to which Amanda agrees gracefully. "I take it as an compliment. Thanks." Smiles back Amanda and they started gibbering around until Mr Black excused to get some drinks for his friends and to the most beautiful girl in the group. Meeting Amanda made him forget about Christine. Amanda was looking very much like the girl he expected Christine to be. She was a perfect combination of beauty,brain and decency. Mr Black always had a feeling of respect towards her.
"Here you go.... cool beer for all...." Mr Black returns back along with a waitress to serve beer to all his friends when he notices they all are gossiping about something. "hey guys! whats wrong??? What are you guys looking and gossiping about????" Mr Black probes into the matter. To his surprise he finds a girl and a guy kissing around passionately and busy doing some unpleasant behaviour. Mr Black seeks attention of all his friends and ask them to not interfere there privacy. To which one of the group member says... "she is married to another man and has two kids. And here she is busy with another man. she did not change till now. she is still the same slutty Christine." CHRISTINE????" frowns Mr Black and turns his back to the couple where he finds his love Christine. But what did he hear just now??? Slutty Christine???? the same old slutty Christine???? Mr black was puzzled. With a big question mark on his face he looks at Stephen and staggered away from the group. Stephen and Amanda rushed towards him to comfort him. "Black!Black! hold up man! Be strong. control your self."
Amanda gets a glass of water for him and Stephen helps him to sit on the chairs at the bar. "relax buddy, you will be OK. relax" Stephanie tries to control Mr black from the shock he just received.
"Did you know about all this??"
"yes dear. I always knew and wanted to tell you, but you were very much influenced with her appearance."
"influenced with her appearance??? I loved her." cried Mr Black
Stephen paused and then replied with patience...
"your mother always loved you smith. she knew about your attraction towards Christine long before you informed her. Several times she probed about Christine. She even went to meet her personally as a stranger. she did not wanted to judge Christine on basis of what others say about her. she wanted to judge her on her own."
Today Stephen finally got a chance to complete his sentence.
Mr Black was shattered but he gathered up for a little while and then left the party. As he was waiting for his driver to get his car he saw Christine coming out. He turned his back towards her but she noticed him.
"hey smith! how r u??? " she waved her hands at him and moved towards him.
"how much i missed you." she hugged him and tried to kiss him. "you are drunk. Get away from me" Mr Black pushed her away to which she returned back "are you angry with me because i left you???" Christine holds his hand and pulls him towards her. "I know you loved me, but you could not sleep with me. Though i would have surely slept with you but you wanted to get marry before sleeping." making a sad face Christine hugs him again. Mr Black again pushes her away for making fun of his feelings at a public place. "oh my god! someone is really angry.." she continues after a pause "OK common ill sleep with you tonight, but you have to pay me 2000$ for it." Christine laughs in a slutty manner and tries to get intimate with Mr Black. Mr Black pushes her away and gets into his car. In a moving car he could hear her shout... "OK... crack the deal in 1000$..." As the car moves Mr Black bursts into tears which he was controlling since very long.
