Chapter 5: Tradition

Narrated by Amy

I leave the library to run and go straight to my room.

I go in and close the door to not be bothered by anyone.

Marry? They must be all crazy. And then with that dude Alexander.

I make a face.

I close the window, and I see all the vegetation there in front, this landscape is so beautiful, so calm.

And I'm so angry with all this.

Knock at the door.

Amy: I do not want to talk to anyone - cry.

Nani: -Amy, I'm me.

It's my Nani.

I rush to open the door of my room, and I leave my dear love in.

She comes in, I put my head out the door, and I see that there is no one in the hallway to torment me, immediately close the door, look at her and hug her.

Amy: -You have seen what my father wants me to do, Nani! - I say, not holding back more and crying.

She let me cry on his shoulder.

A little later, Nani away from me a little, and she looks at me.

Nani: -Come here my girl, come to sit down, she says affectionately.

We sat on the edge of the bed and Nani sighs.

Nani: -Amy - get it - You know that's tradition of your families, I do not understand why you're so upset about it. You knew this day later or earlier had to get my dear.

Yes, I know, but I always thought that my father did not force me to marry, let alone knew that there was a contract signed for this purpose.

Amy: 'I always thought my father would break this stupid tradition, never told me a lot of that, and so I thought I'd never realized - I say.

Nani: -Always heard in this house, that while there is Harrison and Thompson tradition never can break Amy.

I sigh disappointed.

Amy: -You saw the son of Harrison? - irritated ask.

Nani: Oh I see - tells Nani all melted - a god authentic.

Amy: -NANI - scold - it is a beast that yes - I cross my arms and turn my face away.

Nani laughed a good laugh.

Nani: -What wonderful beast that happened to you girl.

Clear my head ...

Narrated by Alexander

I go out of the library in the mood to kill someone.

What the fuck was that what just happened?

The strides I turn to my car, I'm sick of it and walk away. The party for me already given.

I get in the car with all the fury, knock on the door and lay hands on the wheel and grip so hard that I get the knuckles white.

Head back behind the wheel thinking about everything.

"What the crap was going to happen?" - I think.

Turn on the car and hitch.

I stop in a small beach, not far away.

I leave the car and go straight to the beach, roll up the pants and barefoot me, walk the sand, that calms me, I do not know why, but whenever I feel nervous and do, I feel a little better.

I begin to think in this story early on that my parents told me that I could not get a girlfriend to marry, knew the tradition and knew that one day had to marry the one that was promised me forever.

What she did not know was that the promised would be the daughter of a friend of the parents, George Thompson.

Had always thought it would be like my future wife, but had never imagined that I would one foul-mouthed, yes, that's what Amy Thompson is an authentic silly foul-mouthed.

Just my luck.

Charles, the lawyer ...

Charles entered the office of Mr. George the day after the party.

Charles: -Amigo George, that guy is this? - he said the lawyer went wrong.

George snorted upset.

George: Yesterday at the party talked about the marriage contract to Amy and Alexander.

Charles then realized the bad friend humor.

Charles: -E by your face did not go any better, I hit?

George rose to his feet.

George: 'They hated up-Charles said he exasperated with his hands in the air.

Charles: - And why do they hated? - asks Charles.

George: - It seems that a disagreement had any garden before we introduce them, Alexander called her monkey that she was hanging from a tree.

Charles: -AHAHAHAHAH - laughed heartily lawyer.

George looked at him surprised.

George: -And you laugh you Charles? Quite frankly.

Charles: -What do you want me to tell you! - continued to laugh - I'm imagining the scene, Amy carefree as it is, hanging from a tree and snob Alexander shock at a girl in those preparations, ahahahah sorry George, but you can not not laugh.

Charles amused himself to the great, but George was not anything like that situation, this would complicate the contract.

George: -This animosity them will disrupt the wedding plans, do not you see it? - says George angry.

Charles: -I see and it was nothing I had not warned you - said the lawyer friend getting serious - have you ever seen at this time of life be a contract to marry two young? This would give the same shit.

George: -Ja talked about this a million times and you continue to hit the same button a life whole-he said while sitting awkwardly on the couch.

Charles: -continuous and I will continue. You at least you were preparing to Amy for this? No, you were not - accuses.

George: 'You know well that yes - said means abespinhado - I always said she was promised and did not arrange boyfriend.

Charles: -Dizias it but never seriously, when you said to play, never too serious. You should have had a serious talk about it, but instead you were leaving messages here and there. Oh please George, now can handle.

George: -Are you sure you yourself are my friend! - I said to squint to the lawyer.

Charles: -The friends are for this very thing, tell the truth donate or not.

They were silent for a few moments.

Charles: -E already talked to her after that? - Charles question.

George: -Still not - said looking down to the side.

Charles: -Valha me God George, and you are waiting for what ?? Play the bomb and run away? - Charles scolded.
