Sean
After dropping Ava home, I went to. My hotel room back. Another suggested my head on the pillow and I was lying into the dark. Staring at the ceiling. And thinking of the ways to destroy those who destroyed me.
This is certain that I’m going to destroy them. Tia and my so called best friend. They’re going to pay for their sins and their deception. This is not a war. It is going to be a slaughter.
I was just lost in my thoughts just as I heard a knock on my door. I went to check with this. I saw through the peep hole that it was Owen and Ralph.
What a perfect timing? I think to myself.
I opened the door and let them in.
“Now, now, now Sean. This is about time you let us in and tell us about what is wrong with you. Why have you been acting so prissy? What is wrong with you? Tell us” Owen said with concern in his voice.
“Yeah, exactly what is wrong with your big bro what? As happened, why were you living so? Out of the blue earlier. And what made you so angry? We have so many questions to ask you. So just start talking already.” Ralph urged as well.
“It’s nothing, can you just leave me alone please? I’m not in the mood of talking. Right now. And I’m not angry anymore. I was very, very, but now I’m completely fine.”
And it is not even a lie. I think to myself, I am fine. I was angry. I was Hurt. by the deception.
But when I talked to. Ava every issue and problem of mine disappeared. In the tin air.
“So tell us what was wrong with you earlier. We’re not asking if you’re angry right now, but what about earlier? What is your problem? We are asking a simple question answered and we know it’s not nothing so just spell it out already.” Owen said, clearly annoyed.
“Well, if you want to do something for me to feel good right now, ask Mom to cancel the wedding.”
“What?” they both said in unison? “Have you lost your mind, Sean?” Owen said.
“I’m completely fine and my mind has just came right. So just do as I said. Ask Mom to cancel the wedding.”
“You see, are you crazy? Preparations have been done. The guest list is prepared. Everyone is anticipating this wedding. And you are asking us to cancel it two days before the wedding itself. You’ve clear lost your mind, son. What happened a mere argument that happens all the time. You don’t have to cancel a wedding because of it. Don’t act like a child.”
“Brother, listen to me. I’m telling you my decision is accurate and I’m not going to marry Tia, ever.”
“Why are you doing it? What kind of behavior is this? And what are you going to get out of it? You know all your life you have protected this family from defaming. And right now, this decision of yours is going to do exactly the same as every magazine. Every media challenges anticipating just one thing. Sean Dells and Tia’s wedding. How are we even going to cope with this?”
“I don’t know brother. I know I have. Protected you all every single time, and I’ll do this it even now. I just can’t merit marry Tia. Not now, not ever. Even I have a headache and I don’t want to talk about it, so please leave my room.”
“Look, I’m going to tell you something. Sean, you know what is best for you, but I want to inform you how will your mom react to it. She has been preparing so hard and for so long for this day she will not be happy at all with the delay.”
“Who said to you that I’m asking you to delay the marriage? I’m asking you to cancel the wedding. Don’t you understand that?”
“What is this? A joke? Tia has been waiting for you for months now, I think. You come one day at home and announce that you’re getting married to Tia in one week. And then you cancel it before two days before the wedding. What is wrong with you? Sean, I’m really. Not understanding what you want to do. So what you’re going to do, for that matter?”
“You don’t have to understand anything. Just cancel the damn weather. Don’t you understand that much? Listen, brother, don’t press on this too much. You won’t like the outcome.”
“Don’t brother me, Sean.”
He scolded me really loud. Ralph. came between us and. And tried to dissipate both of our angles.
“Look, even, I don’t want to make this ugly. But you’re pushing me way too much and you keep pushing me even if I say that I don’t want to talk about it.”
“No, I don’t have any problem with getting this ugly Sean. It is a matter of a family, you know it more than anyone else. What kind of a behavior is this? You know anyone who thinks a who knows that you broke the marriage off would think that either of you has cheated on. Each other and. Cancel the wedding. Do you know how degrading that would be for a family?” Owen says so loudly that I want to scream out, but I just stand up from my place and go in front of his face and look into his eyes. I glared at him so that it doesn’t pushes me anymore.
Then he sees something in my eyes that made him shock.
“No, this can’t no…no…no. This can’t be true. Tia is not that kind of a girl, Sean. I mean, you’ve dated her for the longest time. It is the longest you’ve ever dated any girl.”
“First of all, I didn’t date her, she was just a convenience and second of all, it don’t know a damn thing about our relationship. So stay out of it.”
“Did she? I mean, did she truly cheat on you? That girl had stars in her eyes whenever she looked at you. Sean, I don’t believe it. I can’t.”
“I saw it with my own eyes all in and you know it’s not about Tia’s deception that words. It’s one she cheated me with.”
“Who is that motherfucker? We will kill him.” Owen said his jaw tight with anger.
“We can’t. I know I’m working perfectly and I’m on my feet all day, but don’t look at me like that. I’ve got a huge blow and I’m not fine. About it.”
Owen just stared at me for a second with regret and guilt in his eyes and then he came to me and hugged me tightly. “I’m so sorry brother, you had to go through that.”
Then Ralph joined us as well. “It’s always us against the world, brother. Always and forever.” Ralph said with so much. Appreciation in his voice and so much care that it nearly brought tears to my eyes. At least I have my family who loves me. I have my brothers and there the whole world to me. I don’t care who distracts me with this sees me or who stays who does not want to stay by my side. I want to. Put me into a mess. Or whatever the hell they want to go me through. But I have these two people who are my world. And I know they will never do anything to hurt me. They’ll bear the consequences of my own bad. Things.
They’ll set the whole world on fire. But never let a flame touch me. And So will I.
“Tell me who is he? Brother we will destroy him.”
“Don’t you worry about it? I’ll look after it. And it doesn’t matter who he is.”
“What doesn’t matter who is, it’s not just clear for it is also that person.”
“Just forget about it.”
“What how can I just forget about it? I can’t forget about it. What is there not going to be any punishment for them? They shall be punished and ruined for their. Disgrace.”
“I will look after that. You don’t have to worry over. And Ralph also you want to get involved in this. As well.”
“This matter is between them and me. Brother. I don’t want anyone to interfere in between.”
“Anyone are we anyone now Sean? I thought we were everything to you.” Owen said with hurt in his voice.
“You are, it does not affect us in any way. I don’t want you to get involved. Do you understand that.”
“You know I’ll do any thing for you, brother. We can destroy them so much that they won’t be able to show their face a to anyone in the town.”
“You know it is not just their fault. It is also our parents fault that it happens to us.” I said thoughtfully.
“What do you mean?” he asked in confusion.
“Our parents have painted a life since the day one we were born. Every decision of our lives were made by them. They made us the person we are today. Didn’t you want to marry a girl? But you’re your dad didn’t let you marry her. You’ll never able to love again.”
“Same with my mom. She always told me the kind of girl I should marry. And even when I didn’t want to get married. I propose the marriage to a girl cheated on me two days before their marriage.”
“I can’t do this any more. I want to be happy brother and for the first time in my life I have seen a ray of it.”
Just then Ralph said something that on my world upside down. “You know, if I were in your place, what I would do?” He asked me.
“What would have you done? Please enlighten.”
“I would have walked with someone in my hand on our wedding day. And claimed her, my wife.”
My eyes balls bulged out of my sockets after hearing that.’ cause I quite like the idea.
That is a perfect idea. And I know a perfect girl to do it with.
And I can’t even imagine the girl. I’m going to walk. In hand in hand with on the wedding day, which was supposed to be Tia’s.
So the next thing? I’ll do in the morning is offer a business proposal. To my new friend. Ava.
That’s just perfect idea.
Now, I love you two but, you both need to leave my room. I need to rest I have a really bad headache.”
They left my room immediately and I thought about the ways I could propose this deal to Ava.
Surely there were many ways, but what if she? Slaps with the face. I mean that girl can. With the throat just to save her life.
Will she even accept my proposal or will she denied?
I have to be very convincing with my offer I make so that she has to accept it.
I know she said something about having money and building things. For people and helping them. I should love doing it. Maybe I can propose something about that.
The rest of my night went in to the whales. I could provide the Comfort Inn luxury of money so that she accept my proposal.
