Preparing for the party

It has been 3 days since Albert went missing, his mother searched everywhere for him and also his family, the General was constantly checking the news for any news and his brother was asking all the prisoners in the city if they arrest someone like Albert. The Sister was checking the media for any breakup news or gossip about any scandal.

It was weather and view of anxiety and worry, but is it really about the safety of one of the family members or worrying about shame and embarrassment of what will come after Albert's disappearance and what kind of trouble will he get in?

''Click''

The main door of the house has been pushed in and there Albert shows himself with injuries on his face and some bandit on his hand, and the first question asked is

'' have you got into a fight''

''I get into a car accident''

''How?''

'' We got into a car accident my friend and me, and I was into hospital ''

''When did you even start having friends''

''From prison, I was in there, remember.

Now I would like to go upstairs and have some rest,l can I''

''Look at the way this punk talks to me, do you know how much your mother was worried about you, she didn't sleep''

''I apologize mom but my phone was broken and I don't remember the house number.

I didn't want you to worry''

'' it's ok as long as you are safe, so tell are you ok?''

''Yeah I'm fine, you don't have to worry, your son is strong, I survived 5 years in prison''

''Look at this boy you started completing yourself huh''

''hahaha, I would like to have some rest mom ''

''It seems he is in a good mood today ''

''I don't feel good about that smile, big brother making''

''Come on let you brother alone, it's been a while until I have seen him act like that''

The sudden change who has appears in Albert's personality, but is it he has changed or he was pretending

'' that smile doesn't fit my face, I have this feeling, those people who always smile, are they really that happy or was it just pretending, well it's a good feeling though ''

Indeed Albert was in a good mood, after all his first battle was a total success. Success always brings happiness and a good mood.

'' We haven't told him about the party honey, I need to take him and buy some good clothes,

Do you want to accompany us, sweetheart ''

'' no mom you go yourself, it's embarrassing if my friend saw me there, especially alongside him ''

''..... You are going with us and stop that behavior of yours toward your brother''

''dad I don't want to go''

''just accompany them for the sake of your mother and also watch your brother ''

'' no, I don't want to go ''

'' I will go tell Albert the news ''

Knock knock.

'' Albert sweetheart, are you awake''

''What's the matter mom ''

'' open the door I would like to talk to you ''

The door is opened

'' is there something wrong''

''is it needed for something to happen if I want to talk to my son ''

'' no, I didn't say so ''

''Are you really OK? ''

'' do I look like I'm not ''

'' tomorrow we will go to the market to bring some clothes for you, you know we will have a party''

'' What party''

''your father got promoted ''

'' wasn't he a general, isn't that the last grade in the army''

'' now the general of the generals, he becomes now the all the military General ''

'' Do we need a party for that''

''silly kid you still don't know anything, tomorrow morning, OK ''

Tomorrow came quickly and the annoying things came with it

'' you are late you stupid, it's already 10 in the morning''

''where is, mom''

'' she is talking with father ''

'' can I ask you something? ''

''Why are trying to start a conversation with me, my good brother''

''Why do you hate me?''

''.... What with this question? ''

'' I haven't done anything that may hurt you but that hatred toward me I don't like it''

''wow, you are scary, do you have any idea what our family has to deal with just because of your problem, and when everything was going good you show up again ''

'' oh, I can understand now, you are acting like the Goddaughter now, you don't fit into that position''

' 'What do you mean by that?''

'' you have caused trouble more than I did, it's just there is now one punishing you ''

'' What the hell are you talking about ''

'' Mom is coming, let's go ''

'' wait, explain what you have just said''

It took them 30 minutes to reach the city with that annoying of his little sister and his mother forcing him to try on all kinds of clothes, Albert felt warm, or is it something else?

'hi there my dear friend''

Every time when the mother goes out her friend must always accompany her or meet her, nagging about people, showing off about their children...

'' is this Albert, look at you you have grown up to be such a young man''

''it's been a while aunty, how have you been, congratulations on your son, I heard that he get a job at Google ''

'' thank you, dear''

''you have become more beautiful aunty Lan, aunt long that dress suits you well ''

'' Hoho, look at you, you little you learned how to talk ''

'' I am quite busy now, I will have to leave I haven't eaten breakfast yet ''

'' go dear have a good meal ''

'' What about me brother ''

'' you are on a diet, have you forgotten ''

'' Gossip of women is so bad I better go before that say something that may upset mother ''Albert whispers.

''your son has grown up ''

'' Yeah, thank you, dear ''

'' poor boy, the prison probably was hard for him''

''tell me about your son, you didn't tell me he was accepted in Google ''

'' oh dear, I forget, you see... ''

...

.....

Days passed and it was time for the party of celebration.

Far away from home, there were some people scheming something.

''That's Albert's house sir, are you sure we can kill him, they say he is very strong ''
