When are you coming home, Son(3)

"Sam, are you not planning to talk to me? When will you forgive your mom? Would I have ever pressured you if you had taken some action earlier on? I have been waiting for you to bring Christine to meet us. But look at you, You are already 28 and will be soon 29. This Christmas, Can we expect Christine at our home?"

"Mom, it's not like I don't want to talk to you. You are expecting Christine to fall in love with me immediately. Would that happen so soon if you think rationally? Moreover, I was angry because you tried to set up me with that white lotus bitch. I have never liked her. How could you do that me despite you knowing what's in my heart? Mom, you are not like an elder sister. She is already opposing me on this matter. She is having her agenda. I respect her but I can't stand her opposing me pursuing Christine. Did I ever interfere with Brother in law and her matter? She wants me to get married to that lady from her in-laws family. I will never do that. Can you please stand on my side and give me some time to pursue Christine?"

"Rest assured, I am always on your side. I just wanted to remind you about your promise so I pulled that stunt but I would not introduce you to any other girl until you agree on your own. Tell me, When are you coming home, Son? It's been 5 years since you have last visited us. That time too, if Christine was not sick then you would not have flown back to Country A."

"Mom, did not we meet each other after every 6 months in Country N? Don't you know why have I avoided coming to our country. I can't keep my emotions in check. I would have gone to see her once. If she had caught me watching over her, would I ever have any chance to pursue her? She is very conservative. She plans to get married to a guy that her parents choose for her. How could I allow that? I have made sure that she won't get a proposal from anyone. I have also told offshore people to watch over her. I have not given a single opportunity to anyone to get closer to her in office. When she arrives in Country N, I will teach her what is love and will slowly make her fall into love with me. I am planning to visit home this Christmas but I can't bring her back. I have a plan to stay for 4 weeks but it all depends."

Anna was suppressing her smile. This guy is cunning just like his elder brother, setting up traps for the innocent girl. Did not his elder brother had tried all sorts of tricks to make her agree to his proposal? She is feeling sympathetic towards Christine. She wants to help her but could she betray her brother in law? Forget it, his intentions are good. Who is a better guy than him for Christine? Christine is destined to become her sister in law. She will be nice to her when they stay together.

Sam's mother was satisfied with his answer so she repeatedly told him to take care of his sister in law and hanged up. Soon, they reached Sam's home. Sam gave her a fresh set of toiletries and prepare a bath for her. He had a long day so he retired to his bed soon after that.

Over the weekend, House cleaners came to clean Sam's old condominium. Cletan had come to Sam's new place to say Hello to Anna. This was Anna's 7th trip to Country N. She had come with Rob to visit Sam before and had met Cletan. Cletan knew Anna is great to cook so he stayed back for Lunch.

On the other side, Christine and her mother were on shopping Spree. They brought in almost everything which Christine had listed down. When Her mother was not looking, Christine had gone to look for that item, She was embarrassed by weird stares from other shoppers. God knows, How she bought in those 5 boxes at home, secretly packed with Gift wrapper. She was cursing that bad guy who ordered her to buy this item.

Christine had managed to finish her packing over the weekend. On Monday, she received her air tickets from Global travel team . She also completed her sessions with Cletan by Wednesday.
