Giani came home from Jordan school. He and his son just entered the house. Giani massaged his temples that felt dizzy.
"I told you it wasn't my fault, Mom."
"Mommy knows, Jordan Alexander, but you can't solve your problems without causing other problems. Mommy's tired, mommy's ashamed that every school call must be because you're in trouble."
"They started it. I just served it, Mom."
"What's up, Mom?" Jared suddenly emerged from the elevator. Giani frowned to find his first son at home.
"Why are you coming home, Jared?"
"Doctor Rea said Diana fainted in the waiting room for the surgery."
"Oh my God. Then how is he doing now?"
"He's still being treated below. Dr. Rea said he had to take a full break. Mommy doesn't matter, does she?"
"Of course not. Let him rest. Mommy just needs a friend at home. Even if he doesn't work, it doesn't matter."
"Diana definitely won't, Mom."
"If so, you'd better get married!"
"Mommy don't joke. I'll be 24. Marriage is not my priority, Mom."
"Then? Are you waiting for another man to offer everything for Diana, and then you'll make a move? That woman needs a certainty, Jared. You promised her comfort right now, but what if there's a guy out there who can promise her a future? Mommy thinks she's gonna choose that guy over you."
"That's right mom" Jordan said.
"Ask Jordan himself. Mommy's so dizzy. Mommy wants a break."
Giani stood up and before leaving he said to Jordan again. "It's the last time mommy went to your school because you were troublemaking, Jordan. Next time, mommy will send you to military school. If you dare to make trouble."
"Oh, come on, Mom, don't overdo it. Those who challenge me, I only serve them. They're all sissies."
"Just shut up, Jordan. Mommy doesn't want to know. If you're just serving them, do it outside of school." Giani left his two sons.
Jordan leaning lethargic on the Sofa. Jared did the same. Jordan looked at his brother doubtfully. Jared looked over and looked at his sister sharply.
"What did you do until mommy got mad like that?" ask Jared.
"Some of my friends challenged me to play basketball. Then long story short they lost against me, they did not accept and intend to gang up on me. I beat them all up because they're bullies. One of them called his parents to school and it turned out that my friend was the son of a board member. Lucky mommy can handle them all. Even though I have to be suspended for a week."
"Other times if it's like that just outside the school area."
"I know, brother. I was just getting carried away. Next time I'll be more careful." Jordan was silent for a moment and asked again, "Who is Diana, by the way?"
"That's none of your business, little boy" Jared said, squinting his eyes. Jordan snorted in annoyance. He got up from his seat and left Jared alone.
Jared seemed to be thinking hard. Be married? She's only about 24, but what if what mommy says is true?
"Ah, fuck. Looks like I'm starting to get affected by mommy's words."
Jared stood up and now he chose to meet Diana. He wanted to make sure of something before making a decision.
