From the scratch chapter 9

Hi Joanna When did you come back I asked Joanna. This morning? How is your family back home all good by grace of God grandma is 95 year old and she has all the ailments under the sun still doing good for now. I doubt whether she will make another year or not. What about your brother? He’s doing good has two kids, under the age of five nice behaving children. Chris did you hear anything about Christina‘s grandfather that he wants Christina to stay in your apartment? Of course I heard about it. He wanted Christina to stay here and you live in a Jacindas’ apartment where Christina used to live the one with double bedroom with the living room and the dining area and kitchen together , very spacious you can give them the same rent you pay here to Christina’s Grandfather as both this one one and the other are his buildings. Why the change all of a sudden I was away only for two weeks so many things changed and I think it will be helpful to both Christina and her grandfather. is she your girlfriend now Chris? You know I do not have no girlfriends. It’s very hard to believe I can’t tell the situation pushed grandfather to ask you that favor but if you can do it otherwise leave it as it is.
Well first of all he is my boss second plus point is that I have pay only half the amount of the rent for apartment so it is a very good deal. This is a good deal if I get a boyfriend, it will be good for me in the future. Good planning and good decision you can tell Christinas’ grandfather that you are willing to move, you can let him know. Of course I will let him know tomorrow. I’m going to see Christina‘s apartment and maybe the day after tomorrow. I will let him know. I bought you snacks from back home. It is in the kitchen shelf enjoy thank you , thanks a lot. What about your friend who have some kind of cancer you mean Chris yeah something like that I am so sad that your friend is so sick. Yeah you are right my friend and I am also very worried about her. They are giving her one year more the maximu. She stopped working. It’s almost 6 months. They’re saying she has another six more months to live with some quality and next six months will be very tough. The treatment regimen is very advanced still this type of bile duct cancer they are saying has bad prognosis She is so depressed. Her family is going through a lot. I have to visit her this weekend. Are you coming with me? No I can’t deal with this sad situation especially at present. You go first with one of your friends may be with Justin or some one similar. I will ask her when it’s convenient for her. I will go this weekend and you guys go later. Do you have a boyfriend? Can I live without a boyfriend? What do you think of course you can I just asked that is all Joanna. Do you want me to ask you whether you have a may be girlfriend? Not at all at least for now. what about future in the future ? Joanna, my mom was a single parent, and she took so much hardships to raise me without anybody’s help. when I select a girlfriend, I had to be cautious so that my mom can be at peace. who are the loud listen yes I try. You will find somebody we can.
I can consider Mathew’s sister Rita as my girlfriend but she already has a boyfriend. I can not consider her as my girlfriend but when I think of my mom, I can’t she is irresponsible, abused alcohol and drugs, and may spoil everything if she comes to my life, it will be really challenging so I can’t. I’m letting her stay in the apartment because her situation. She needs somebody for support especially now. she can talk to me and get structured to an extent if she wants to. Are you claiming you are a therapist Chris just kidding. Please help Christina . What exactly happened to her. Later I will definitely tell you now I cannot it may bring back all the stress with memories that’s OK that’s OK. I hope she’s OK. She’s OK now but still in the gray area of safety. Nowadays adult world is like a really hard in general. It is getting harder and harder, well it is getting harder at work and at home too. When your mom coming. she may come after three months. She may come during summer so she’ll come in July of this year how long she will stay here may be end of October she likes here and not really but I’m the only kid so she will spend time with me without complaining , all her friends are back home. She became a widow at very young age and she never married. She never even considered to have a boyfriend even but she has a few friends of same age group in fifties. Some of them are widows too, so she may prefer that neighborhood than the lonely and boring life of here . I go to work Monday to Friday sometimes even Saturday and she may be bored here . You are right so when she comes here, she’s going to stay for six months or not? Can she stay with you Joanna for a few weeks in the beginning and later she can come here if that’s OK that’s OK. I don’t have no problem if I’m living apartment with two bedrooms absolutely fine. I really appreciate OK I’m going for walk you coming today I’m dead tired. See you later. I’ll be sleeping so you won’t see me. See you tomorrow. OK if you see Christina when she comes back, tell her I went for a walk of course I will see you mañana bye.
