“Good Bye” It’s midnight. They argued. Again. Just about 6 months after their honeymoon. There neighbors are losing temper, because every night Tom goes home at midnight, she’s angry and they argue over and over again. He works at his dad’s company, fashion design, he plays an important role in that company even though he has got almost nothing, not even one potential to be a designer, but there’s one thing that could blow all the potentials away, his dad. His dad, a hard-working man, he worked his whole life, creating a brand and tried his best for the world to know about him, his family and his company. Of course, he wanted his son to continue what he has done; he put all of his hopes into his only child. He bought for his son a house one the Beverly Hills, a shiny Rolls-Royce and an office near his company. But he forgot, money and expensive stuffs didn’t make up his career, he did it himself. Before being a designer, he was a street candy seller. Back to Tom, he tried his best to make his dad happy about him, but he couldn’t, he gave up everything. Yes, no drugs, no alcohols, no racing, he just spends al his money on famous French fashion brands and expensive Italian fast cars. Of course his dad knows, but what can he do? He was the one that led Tom to all this. Tom’s mother died from cancer when Tom was 2. His dad knew it was a big lost for Tom, he tried to cheer him up but no, he grew up in depressions and desperate, his college friends think he is “down” and a little bit crazy. He didn’t want money in change for love. He wanted his dad to stay at home a few days and play with him. He wasn’t bright at school but not bad either. His good friend was a dog his dad bought for him on his 5th birthday, it died when he was 17, it was sick, Tom thought someone might have put something bad into his food. Later on 8 years later, he met a girl, in London, where he came for studying design. She was beautiful and they fell in love just like typical romance story. But in this case, the girl accepted to gave her life to Tom disregarding the public’s teases. They married just 1 year after her graduation. There is quite a range between their ages. He is now 29 and she’s 24. Last night: -Hey Tom, we have to talk! – She said. -I don’t think so, I think I’ve had enough since our honeymoon – answered Tom. -No, you have to take a look at this and sign for me – she begged him… -What’s it? Don’t say to me …… - he stopped. It just banged into his eyes. She’s pregnant! Kate’s pregnant; yes they’re going to have a kid soon. It’s the written form from a doctor claims that she’s pregnant, for a month. -Yes, you’re going to be a dad soon, but I don’t think that my son deserves such a bastard like you to be his father She slowly walked out of the room, in tears. He was standing there, he wanted to follow his wife and care for her, like a typical husband caring for his wife. But he couldn’t move, the paper has glued him to the floor. The next day, he was trying to find his wife and apologize. He couldn’t find her, he went to work. That night, when he came home, this time, for the first time of the year, he forgot a bout his fellows waiting for him in the bar, he came home, and its 8:30 pm. She’s already asleep. He came in discretely and looked at Kate. He gave her a kiss on her forehead, and then he went to the bathroom and took a bath. He popped out, and went to their bathroom, opened the door, she’s not there, she’s gone, where could she be right now, 9:30 and in the middle of this wilderness outside. Their neighbors were asleep. He was searching for her. Then he found something underneath the blanket, a note from Kate… “Good Bye” ….   He held the paper in his hand, he cried, the first time in his life since his mother death. He screamed and screamed her name. All he could think about now is his dearest wife. He went downstairs, and as he was about to reach to the light button on the stairs… Something came, behind his back, slowly, it crepes up behind him, and slowly, he heard something from behind, he turned around and Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa It was his mother, right next to him, right now, holding his wife with her left shoulder. Still that face, that friendly face, and then, he fainted…………………………..
