HEARTBREAKING MOMENTS

        Bryan's mom still could not say anything...the only thing she could communicate with was the tear drops from her eyes...all because of the fear that her only child is about to leave her for another woman, his wife. Bryan angrily left his parents again in the garden, and went straight inside. But this time, he picked up a few of his clothes, came out of the house, and went away to an unknown destination. His parents left the garden,went inside to talk to their son again, but met his absence in his room. They searched all around the house, but could not find him. Crying continued for them again, till it was night fall. 

               The couple thought their son just needed some time off to clear his head of all he had experienced the past few days, so they felt it was best to give him his space, thinking he would  come back home on his own. Not knowing his plan was different. Few hours later, Bryan arrived his friend's house(Shane's house). He was shocked to see him because he was not informed of his coming.

            Judging from Bryan's looks, he was not okay. Shane then asked...

"Bryan...you okay..."?

              Bryan couldn't say anything.

              Shane then said to him,

"It's okay Bryan, please come inside".

            Shane gave Bryan a very warm welcome, just to ease him of the tension of what he may have been going through. He went into his kitchen and made Bryan some dinner of hotdogs and Greek yogurt. Bryan freshened up and ate his dinner. One and the half hour later, Shane sat close to Bryan, asking...

"Please Bryan, can we talk now"?

"You good to talk now"?

            Bryan replied,

"Sure best friend"!

          And he apologized for not being able to say anything initially when he came in. 

"I'm sorry for not saying a word when I first came in, I just didn't know what to say".

            Shane replied...

"It's okay man, I understand everything...and that's why I didn't bother nor push you to say anything...".

           They both smiled and Bryan began to talk to his friend on a brighter note.

"Well Shane...my parents got me mad".

" I told them I would love to get married, and I would be introducing my wife to be to them in two days time, and they weren't happy about my decision".

            Bryan narrated everything to his friend Shane, and came to a conclusion that he has got a plan to marry his fiance, Angela, without his parents. Shane told him it's not the best to do such, and that he should give his parents some more time for they would come around to understand that the decision of a life partner is not to be done by parents, but by those who are going to live with the particular person in question. Bryan understood all Shane was saying, so he paused for a moment and then said...

"Thanks man! You got a point there"!

             The two friends, after a while, retired to bed for the night. 

            Two days on, yet no word from Bryan to his parents, they became extremely worried. They went from place to place, asking all those they knew their son was keeping as friends, yet, there was no headway for them to reach nor see their son. The worried state continued for almost one week, until Bryan's dad suggest to his wife...

"Why don't we go to the police station to inform them of our missing son"?

 "I do not think that is the best thing to do at this point, because Bryan may not be happy". Says Bryan's mom.

   His dad responded...

"You're right dear"!

     So after so much confusion on what to do, and so much thought on what was best to for them and their son, they both came to a reasonable conclusion that they should both go home and wait for some more time, and that their son would return home on his own when he's ready, and not by force. Bryan's dad then said..

"Let's relax our minds and have that belief that our son is safe wherever he is".

             Bryan's mom then said....

"You are right Dear"!

             Thereafter, they both went home, had their bath, ate and then had their siesta. When they woke up, they went to their garden outside to get some fresh air. About two hours later, Bryan and his friend, Shane came into Bryan's father's compound. They went through the front door, while his parents were seated at the backyard, in their garden. When Bryan and Shane got in, they saw that Bryan's mom and dad weren't in. Bryan then called out to his mom and dad...

"Mom....Dad...."

            His parents didn't hear at first. He called the second and third time, yet his parents still did not hear him. He then said to his friend, Shane...

"Please Shane, let's check the garden".

  "Okay..." Shane responded.

            They both went to the backyard, and behold...his parents were just seated there, discussing. 

"Mom...Dad..." Bryan called.

             They both turned and saw it was their son. They ran to him and hugged him for long. Saying...

"Bryan son... you're welcome dear...we are so happy to have you back home"!

                 Few minutes later, Bryan introduced his friend, Shane to his parents, and he was welcomed warmly. They all went into the house, sat in the living room, and had dinner together. After having their dinner, Bryan brought up the issue why he had to return home. Saying...

"Dad, Mom, my only reason for coming to you today is to know your stand about my marriage to Angela".

"So please, I would like to know".

                 Bryan's dad replied, for it was obvious that himself and his wife have discussed about it before Bryan walked in with his friend. He said,

"Son...I and your mom have decided to give you and Angela our blessings, because we now understand that you truly love this woman in question, and you would love to spend the rest of your life with her".

           With a smile on Bryan's face as seen by the father, just on hearing this from him, he continued....

"Worry not about any expenses, we will take charge of everything..."

"I mean...e....ve.....ry.....single... thing"
