33. Meeting a bastard
” What us wrong with you? Why are you so bitter?” Terry asked as getting confused by her friends mood.
” Nothing is wrong wrong with me but everything is wrong with that bastard. Imagine saying that bumped at him to attract his attention! Who does he think he is? He’s ugly like a duckling, fat like a pig and looks like an old geezer! Why would I want to attract his attention?” Martina scolded Dimitri, calling him all kind of words.
” Wait… That sounds familiar?” Terry could clearly tell she heard the exact same words from someone before… Only that she didn’t remember who.
” What’s familiar? Anyway, I don’t want to ruin my mood talking about that piece of blanket.” Martina said irritated.
” Your mood was already foul even before meeting that handsome hulk.” Terry stated . It was the truth anyway.
” Let’s go home, I don’t want to spend another minute here. I might faint from anger.” Martina said. The Sooner she got home and lie comfortably on her bed, the better.
” Aren’t we going to take something for lunch?” Terry asked wrh puppy eyes. After shopping for hours, she was exhausted and hungry.
” Nope, Maybe we can eat in my house.” Martina proposed. Her mother must have made something to eat by now.
The girls then drove home. What they didn’t know was that Dimitri listened to their whole conversation. He had lost the mood to stroll around and ordered his secretary to find something good for his mother. While the secretary was on the job, Dimitri decided to wait in the car. That’s When he stumbled upon the mall Lady cursing and calling him names Nobody would dare call him.
Why was she angry or did he really misunderstand her? He thought she was just like the rest of the girls who would use cheap tricks to draw the attention of men. But from the look of things, it seems like she really didn’t see him approaching. He remembered how rudely he pushed her making her to slump on the floor but Instead of bursting to tears as the play usually enfolds, she glared at him as if she would tear him into pieces.
Thinking about it, he found himself raising the corner of his lips. She was definitely interesting. Upon realizing what he was thinking, he scolded himself. He already had his goddess, so why was he paying attention to a woman who was throwing tantrums like a child. He was turning to Walk away when he heard her say that she would never like a man like him. He was ugly like a duckling, fat like a pig and… He could feel his blood raising. He wished to take long strides and teach that feisty woman a lesson but he controlled himself. He already offended her , he would be magnanimous and let this pass. With that he walked to his car and relaxed.
Terry and Martina drove to her house but upon entering the living room, the house was as quiet as a tomb. She rushed upstairs calling her mother’s name but she found her room empty. She then searched at the garden but there was no a trace of her mother. She started panicking.
Terry who watched her friend worry about her mother was surprised. ” Why are you paranoid. She’s a grown up woman and besides, you told me that this was her home country and City to be precise. She might have decided to go out visiting her friends or looking around.” Terry said trying to calm down her friend. She couldn’t understand Why she was treating her mother like she was a five year old.
” You can just call her and ensure she’s alright of you are worried, no need to panic.” Terry added.
” Why didn’t I think of that? I can e stupid at times.” Martina said removing her phone and calling her mother.
” I agree with you on that. It seems like you lose your sense of reasoning immediately you start to worry.” Terry agreed making Martina roll her eyes.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
The call was connected aster the second ring and her mother’s pleasant and sweet voice greeted her soothing her nervousness.
” Hello Martina, are you home already? Am sorry I decided to go out and take a breather.” Her mother said.
” Yeah Mom, am already home. I got scared something happened to you.” She confessed.
” Silly child, what could happen to me here? I know this place like the back of my hand. although I have been away for a while, I still can walk without getting lost.” Her mother assured her.
” Okay Mom, when are you coming home?” Martina asked.
The other side kept quiet for a while before asking,” is it alright if I come home tomorrow? I came to visit a Long time friend and was asked to stay over for the night.” She asked. Despite being the mother, she always listened to her daughter.
” As long as mother is safe, you can sleep over but make sure to take care of yourself. You have not fully recovered.” Martina replied. They just came back, her mother must have missed her friend to go see her and even consider spending the night over. All she ever wanted was to see her mother safe and happy. So how could she not permit her to catch up with her friend.
Besides, she and the girls were going out tonight. It was good for her mother to have company than stay alone for the night.
” Okay, I promise to come back tomorrow early in the morning and cook breakfast for you.” Her mother assured her.
” Take your time mother. You have taken care of me for years, I should be the One taking care of you now.” Martina responded.
The two ended their call after talking for a while.
” Your mother sounds like a sweet woman.” Terry commented evoking a sweet smile from her friend.
” She is, she is sweet, caring and loving… She’s the best.” Martina stated smiling.
” I would love to meet her someday.” Terry said, she never had a mother in her life, only a father.
” You will, very soon.”
