Nancy

"Mum, why haven't you slept yet? What is the matter? How is Dad? " Wilson sends a barrage of questions to his mother.

His mother smiled and said, "I'm fine. I just want to have some words with you. "

Meanwhile, she heard the conversation between him and the strange lady, and it surprised her that her son could turn a lady down. She knew things had changed in her son's life and couldn't wait to hear about it.

"Do you care for some, mom?" he asked.

"No son, I've eaten. Eat up, "she answered.

Wilson continued eating, and the room descended into an awkward silence. He didn't need to raise his head to know that his mother was staring at him. However, he won't bulge under the mother's piercing gaze.

"Fine! I'll talk. " Her mother chuckled and continued. "I heard your conversation with the lady."

Wilson just smiled and continued with his food.

"Can you tell me about it? How does it happen? " She asked curiously.

He lied with a straight face. "Nothing, mum; I just have a strong desire to change." How can he tell her mother all this sudden change happened because of an ordinary tailor? He knew that his mum preferred sophisticated ladies whose parents were of their caliber.

"Mum, we will discuss tomorrow." Wilson announced as he yawned, rubbing his face, standing up and stretching his body.

"Alright son, take your rest. We will discuss it tomorrow, but I will say I admire your new life," she announced with seriousness." She knew that, unlike before, Wilson wouldn't give her the chance to talk with her. But now...

"Night, ma". He sent his mother away and locked the door.

Wilson smiled as he went to his bedroom. Immediately, the thought of Sophia appeared in his mind. He clicked his lips and smiled foolishly at them. "Can she be awake by this time?" He wondered. He picked up his phone and dialed Sophia's number.

After a couple of failed attempts with no positive results,He sighed and wanted to drop his phone when an idea popped up in his head. "Let me message her." Without further ado, his finger danced speedily on his phone.

After a couple of seconds, his finger stopped moving. He stared at the message, trying to comprehend whether there was any error. Seeing none, he nodded and sent the message. I hope this all goes well.

Not long after he fell asleep, Sophia appeared in his dream. They had a pleasant time together, full of laughter and smiles. Wilson was smiling foolishly on the bed, hugging the pillow. Suddenly, the sound of the alarm interrupted his dream. His eyes twitched, grumbling, opening his eyes slowly, looking at the alarm for a few seconds.

Pa!

He angrily turned off the alarm and laid back on the bed, thinking he could go back to the dream world. Why the hell would the alarm disturb my sweet dream? ' He stared at the alarm, gnashing his teeth.

After a while, when he could not sleep again, he lazily stood up to freshen up for work. However, the smile never left his face. He played music and made a few dance moves while making coffee. He devoured his food and set out to work.

While driving, the thought of Sophia came to his mind. "Hmm, should I try it?' He pursed his lips while tapping on the steering. "There is no harm in trying...' He thought out loud.

Meanwhile, Sophia was restless throughout the day, though she didn't know why, because Wilson was not the first person she had denied. But something was wrong; her mind had no peace. She wondered what was special about him and why she was feeling guilty and acting as if her life depended on it. She couldn't find answers to these questions. When her friend entered her shop, she was still thinking.

"Sophia, what happened? Why are you so lost in thought? " She raised her eyebrows and asked.

"Hey, Nancy, you closed early today. How's your day? " Sophia said, standing up, welcoming her friend with a fake smile.

"Splendid. I closed early because they sent me for official work. " She looked into Sophia's eyes and said with a slight frown. You haven't answered my question. What is wrong? Or are you thinking about the date? "

She stood up and moved closer to her friend. She gently tapped her on the shoulder. You love him. Just tell him "

Sophia quickly defended herself. "Oh, common. How could I love him that easily? It's just.... Hmm. He piqued my interest. That's all. "However, deep down, she knew she was in love with him and she could not help it. 'When did I get myself into this mess? ' She sighed silently. I can't love right. No, I can't. '

"Oh, don't tell me that! Why do you care so much about him, then? Tell me! " She objected, pointing to her face. "I can see it. It's all written all over your face. "

Sophia exhaled. She knew there was no hiding anymore. But to come clean,

"To be honest, I haven't been able to get myself since that day. I think about him now and then. Initially, I waved it, but the thought was still coming. Please help me. What can I do?" Sophia blinked, looking at her friend for an answer.

Nancy tapped her shoulder again and assured her. "If Wilson was for you, he would surely come for you. Relax "

Sophia's eyes brightened. Really?"

"Hmm. Hmm. " Nancy nodded.

A soft smile crept onto Sofia's face. She bit the edge of her lips and stood. "Would you mind some wine?"

"No problem."

"Nancy, how about Tarry? You don't even mention him these days? " Sophia questioned. She furrowed her brow and looked at her friend with an unsettling gaze.

"Tarry? Let's forget about him. Rather, we will discuss it later because I don't want to spoil the cheerful mood." Nancy replied firmly.

"Nancy, I know you are a strong person, but a problem shared is a problem half-solved. " Sophia answered.

"Alright, I will tell you. Let's go to the eatery. I'm famished. " She responded, standing up, not waiting for Sophia's response.
