chapter 22

two days before Daniels's birthday party. Daniels was very nervous so he decided to call his best friend Leonard to talk to him about his upcoming birthday preparation.

Leo was in his city room watching TV and with a glass of Champaign in his hand drinking from the glass of wine from time to time and then suddenly a call enter his phone,

Although he was a little annoyed by the call best on his reaction but he reluctantly pick up his phone to answer the call but when he saw the caller ID and saw that it was his best friend calling his mood immediately change for good.

Daniels takes a deep breath before speaking up about his worries to his best friend Leo. immediately Leo answers the call, and Daniel speaks up first. hello, Leo what up, I hope am not disturbing you with my call.

Am fine Daniel and you." how are you, because you sound worried is everything okay? Leo was a little surprised to see Daniel calling him Because best to their agreement, the Three of them are supposed to meet a day before his birthday to discuss and to check if the decorations and all the things they pay the event planners to set up are to their liking.

Leo am not fine and that is the reason am calling you now, ok Daniel tell me what is the issue and what is bothering you.

Leo am worried about our plan, what if it doesn't work out as we plan or as we assume it?

Daniels Don't always dwell on the negatives, let's just hope and believe that it works out as we discussed it. Leo you know very by now I have never worried about anything before in my life as far as I can recall it. And you know that anything that has a positive side also has the opposite of itself which is negative.

So Leo you know what, in my opinion I think we have to wear our options in case. see Dan you have nothing to worry about even if the plans don't turn out in our favor we can still look for another way.

Leo, I guess I understand what you are trying to say but the issue is that we don't have enough time left to carry out another successful plan as soon as possible.

Daniel you don't have to trouble yourself, let's just wait till when your birthday is over because that's the only time we can conclude this matter.

Leo, I think I get what you are trying to say now, and I will patiently wait till then, but I will call you back tomorrow so that we can meet and have the final discussion about the birthday party just like we schedule it.

*****

Sam was worried about the birthday party invitation she got from Leo, weeks ago. and the reason she is worried is that she has never attended a party where she is not close to the celebrant.

She was very nervous. and she didn't know how to call Leo and tell him that she won't be able to make it to the party because she was scared thinking Leo will be mad at her for not informing him on time when she very well knows that she didn't want to come to the party.

So Sam divided to call her best friend Nancy to ask her opinion concerning the issue that is giving her headache rights now.

when the call connected Sam was very happy to hear from her friend Nancy so she couldn't hide her excitement." Hello Nancy how are doing, am doing fine Sam, and you because you don't sound okay to me.

Am fine Nancy it's just that I have a little bit of an issue at hand, what kind of issue is it Sam, is it about your school fee, you know that I can help you out if it's about that right?

No Nancy it's not about my school fees. It's about something else and it's complicated and I don't even know how to explain it to you right now.

Nancy: Sam, I understand that you are nervous right now, but just take a deep breath and then when you are certain that you are calm, you can then explain to me what is bothering you.

Samantha: Nancy what I want to ask you is that there is this friend of mine who invited me to his friend's birthday party, and I have already promised him that I will be there, but the thing is that right now, I am so confused and that's because I don't feel like going to the party anymore. and right now I don't know what to do.

So Nancy please be honest with me, how do you think he will feel if I don't show up at the party?

Nancy: Hmmm Sam, I will tell you the truth he is going to feel very bad and also very disappointed because you have already given him your words (promised).

Samantha: Nancy please what do you think I should do in this situation."

Nancy: Sam, I think you should call him and let him know that you won't be able to make it.

Samantha: Nancy, I feel so bad to do that, and guess what I also regret agreeing to be there in the first place.

Nancy: And what are you going to do now since you feel bad for the poor guy?

I think I will have to go to the party, but please Nancy will you escort me to the play tomorrow?

Nancy: oh my God so tomorrow is the occasion, am so sorry Sam." but tomorrow I have to follow my dad to an important business meeting. and I hope you understand.

Samantha: Nancy, I understand but please wish me good luck." of course my love I wish you good luck, and please be careful when you are there and don't take too much Alcohol you know I won't be there to protect you. okay, I will abide by your instructions, take care I will call you again tomorrow bye...bye.
