Chapter 31: "Help From a Friend"

Paulo has now became poor homeless guy, he does not know where he has to go now, where he has to live. But apart from that he was feeling very much betrayed as his good and his childhood friend Catherine told his father about his secret. He is still trying to figure it out why she did this to him.

Paulo has came a long away from his home. It is around 10:00 pm night and Paulo is just hanging around like an stray dog. He is worried that where he is gonna go now. Fabio along with his teammates Macella and Dario, they were having some fun chat together and spending some quality time and having a bottle of beer. Fabio while drinking the beer from the bottle out his sight on the street and he put his sight on the street he saw someone walking across the street with a laguage in his hands. As he comes closer and the image gets more clear it was Paulo who was the person with the laguage. As soon as Fabio recognised that it was Paulo he went straight to him as it was really strange for him because at this time stays at his home but right now he is outside at such a late night. As a caring friend of him he went to ask him. As he reached he said.

"Hey Paulo ! Hey amigo ! you are out from your house at this time you know it's so late now ?" Paulo never that Fabio is there, he was pretty much shocked and he was hesitant to tell his problem to him instead he tried to lie to him.

"Oh.. ! Hey amigo you here ?" Fabio was stunned that Paulo is asking him instead of answering. He said

"Yeah every night at this time I suppose to be here. I told before that always have beer at night at this bar. See there are our teammates out there as well Dario and Macella." Dario and Macella wave their hands to say hello to Paulo and Paulo also waves his hand as well in reply. Fabio was continuously asking him the exact reason of being out so late at night but Paulo lies.

"Ah... Nothing amigo I was just going to my aunt's house for few days she lives here, just a quater mile away." Fabio however caught him easily that he is lying.

"So your aunt lives in the forest huh.... ? because I had been here numerous of time but I never saw any sort house nor even any sort of abandoned bothy." Paulo didn't answer as there is nothing to say and he stand silent. Fabio then insists him to tell what happened to him exactly.

"Paulo I know that we have been not for a long time but even though I can still sense that you are lying." He later puts his hands on his shoulder and then he said.

"Paulo ! you can just tell me is there anything wrong happened with you ? Is there any problem ? C'mon you can just share with me, I am your friend ! I can help you if there is any problem c'mon speak up." Paulo shades of tears coming out from his eyes and Fabio is feeling very much concerned about. He urges Paulo to open up his problem and Paulo finally spoke up. Paulo tells him everything what just happened with him, Fabio can feel the pain in his voice and when Paulo finished with his ordeal, Fabio hugged him and Paulo couldn't control his emotions and started to cry bitterly. Fabio somehow consoles him and try to make him calm, he then immediately offered to help him.

"Hey amigo ! you don't need to worry, you can stay at my house, c'mon let's go !" Fabio offers him to stay at his house. Paulo was very hesitant at first but later Fabio managed to make up his mind. They both sit in the car, Fabio tells Macella and Dario that they will meet tomorrow at the training ground after that they leave for his house.

Here at Fabain at the backyard of his house is chopping the wood for the grill stove. He chops off the wood into two pieces with long sharp axe. Whenever he chops the wood he does it in a very combative manner. It looks like that he was very much angry as well as disappointed with Paulo and his decision. He first believed that his plan was successful but it didn't go what he expected to happen. While he was chopping the wood Kesi also came in the backyard to confront him. Kesi started to demand Fabian to give her the answer that why he kicked out his only son out of the house like that hence Fabian replied.

"Why I did that ? I did exactly what he asked for. He was the one who decided to leave the house." Kesi was not satisfied with his answer as he was trying to defend his actions by putting all the blame on Paulo. Kesi said.

"Pragmatically first it you who forced him to make a choice between football and his family." Fabian chops the wood and replied.

"Yeah and saw what he choose ? He choose that idiotic sport football over his family ! For him his personal and social interests are more important than his family, Ok ! if that's the case then let him whatever he wants to do." Kesi was still trying to make him realise about his mistake but Fabian was firm that decision that he made was right.

"Fabian he is our son and we should take care of him no matter what. It is our responsibility to make him understand about what is wrong and what is right." Kesi tries to covince Fabian but he was still blaming Paulo.

"He is not a kid now ! He is now all grown men. He does know perfectly that what his parents want him to do and not to do but he doesn't care what we want, he just care about himself only, that selfish, mean and ungrateful person. I'd wish that I have a son like Armani." Kesi is now disgusted by the fact that how could Fabian just compare his son to a person like Armani. She immediately replied him back.

"What ! You want a son like Armani ? That drunk rowdy fellow. Seriously you are compairing that boy with our son ? No I am sorry but I don't agree with you our is far better than him." Fabain didn't stay silent, he explains his views on why he prefer Armani over Paulo.

"Yeah so what ?! So what ! if he is a drunken rowdy ? at least he does exactly what his parents want him to do. He is not even my son but still he helps and give me more respect than my own son, who never did something that Armani did for me." Kesi knew that there is now no point to prove Fabian that Paulo is much much better than Armani instead she asked.

"Ok I know that you would never give the value to our that he deserves but you tell me that who told you about this and how much you believe in that person, that every single that he told you was truth or nothing." Fabian chops the last piece of wood and then he answers her questions.

"First of all your son has admitted that it was the thing that he was doing behind and if you want who was the person who told me about his secret then if she even told you also, you would also believe in her." Kesi was now confused because it was women who revealed his secret, Kesi desperately asking Fabian about who was that person later Fabian replied that it was Catherine who told him about Paulo's secret. Kesi after that said nothing as she also beliefs that Catherine never lies to them. Meanwhile Cara evasdrop from the door of the kitchen.
