Chapter – 13
Almost two weeks have passed and hope he must have completed the work. It’s long time we haven’t talked to each other. I know my friend is a dedicated man, whenever he goes for any project, he gets completely involved in it. Weston says to Sarah who has come to his office to see him. Evan is always serious about his work because work is passion for him. Expecting him to come back soon and then we three shall go for coffee. I miss him she says calmly. Oh really! How did you survive when you were in Australia? I wonder. Weston smiles. By the way, who is the man? Weston looks into her eyes. Please Weston don’t ask and why have you fix your attention on this topic? I don’t understand. I never ask anything about Carol and Elena so you must also leave this topic. Sarah gets pissed off. Ok cool, if you don’t want, I will never ask again. Alright, finally you decided to join our office. Yes, I have decided to go back to my previous office. From Monday I will join. So thought of spending weekend with you two but still he hasn’t come back.
Why don’t you join our office? Weston asks. Because I think it’s not a good idea to work together because we will party more than the work. She laughs. I know, the reason of your refusal it is because of Elena and Carol or only Carol. Weston you both are dear to me and I don’t want to create any fuss in your life. Carol is a sweet girl and she understands too but I don’t expect this understanding from Elena. Evan doesn’t deserve her anger or anything like that because of me. Sometimes I think Elena doesn’t deserve Evan. Weston says calmly. Why did you say that? She always wants to be in limelight. Her love for fashion industry makes her ignore Evan’s feelings. She always wants Evan to revolve around her. But the good thing is that apart from having so many differences they have been together for two years. Weston replies.
I am sure he is happy with her and loves her too. Isn’t right? Yes, you are always right dear, now drink your cup of coffee before it gets cold. Talk to him and ask about his plans of coming back. I will call him in the evening. But he won’t come back this weekend, if you want, we two can go for dinner. Weston says while drinking his coffee. No, Carol and you enjoy then. I will go to church. It is long time that I have been to church. Carol is busy organising the event for Peter and this Saturday she is going to finalise the arrangements with him. I think you can also go with her and meet him. It feels good to see old classmates but Sarah refuses to go. Do you want to come to church? She asks Weston. No, I am not interested. Bye! Call me once Evan is back. She hugs Weston and leaves. Weston gets busy with his work. Sarah, you have put me in doubt. He calls Carol and informs that he will also go with her on the boat tomorrow.
Saturday morning, they both go to Peter’s boat. Peter is a tall, thin guy with beard on his face which makes him look little chubby and attractive. He is in blue shirt with black jeans. He recognizes Weston, as Carol talked about him before. You are blessed with such a talented and beautiful lover. Carol smiles with proud as Peter says while he greets Weston. Yes, I know my baby is so talented and he kisses on her cheeks and Peter smiles. You two talk while I check out the boat carefully. Carol says and leaves. So, Weston, how are you? I heard that Evan and you are a big name in the architecture industry. Peter smokes a cigar and offers him too. But he refuses and replies we are doing our best and hope people like us too. So, you have made good money in stock exchange Weston says while looking at the huge luxurious boat. Birds flying above the head and cool breeze blowing seems amazing and refreshing he says looking at the sea. Do you want something to drink wine, mocktail or Juice? Only red wine. He replies good choice for evening. He asks waiter to bring red wine. Are you still connected with John and Sarah? Peter asks while inhaling cigar.
John is in England and owns a publishing house there. Last year, he came to California on new year. Sarah’s mother died few years back due to blockage in arteries of heart and few months back, she lost her father too. Sad, I know she has suffered a lot. Peter tone is sad. How do you know? Did she tell you? Weston asks. No. I wanted to talk to her but couldn’t due to work. I spoke to John long back and he told me about her after that I had no communication with him. Where is she now? She was here for couple of months then went to Australia now she is back to California. Red wine arrives and they both sit on the chair and enjoy the cool breeze blowing. You also ask Sarah for today evening to come. Peter says, I asked, but she refused. I think still she is angry with me. Peter takes a sip of red wine. Angry with you? Weston is curious to know.
