After we have lunch, we want you to come with us on a little trip to talk about something very special." We nodded and followed them inside.We took up...a lot of a pew close to the front. Dora led the way followed by Mitch followed by Brit, then me, and then Mom and Dad in that order. Mitch said in a low, though penetrating voice, "I still get to sit with two of the three most beautiful ladies here. So does Chad."In our church, Pastor Bob always asked for announcements after the first hymn. Mitch. You might not play a lot ... but you get to be on the team. Same with basketball, or wrestling ... So, if you aren't ON any of those teams, it's only because you don't want to be. And that, in small town thinking, means you think you're better than they are.Now, if that same kid is able to get good grades without studying, and is say, 20 lbs overweight, well ... you can see that his life is going to basically suck. Add all that up and you have a recipe for ... ME! Basically, I was the chubby. I think I can permit this.”“Well supervised, I am sure!”Tanya laughed, “That is very wise! Father said to tell you that he will pay for your tickets. First class. Make sure you bring your tuxedo.”“Please give Ivan Konstantinovich my thanks and tell him I am looking forward to seeing him. And greet Katya Sergeyevna for me as well.”“I will. I look forward to seeing you!”“Does this mean you will return to Moscow as planned?”“Yes, I think it does. It seems that Mikhail Sergeyevich is a fair. I gave it to you by mistake… You must believe me.” I realized that if I continue answering his calls he would not go away. I kept silent. Finally he spoke. “Okay… If you don’t want to listen… I’ll go. But please don’t tell Adeel about it.” I heard him move away from the door, and then there was silence everywhere. I was in no hurry to open the door. I rubbed my eyes to wipe the tears. I remained in my room until my children returned. Father-in-law was locked inside his room. I washed my face.
